Essay

Why do men in higher classes belittle marriage based off social power and gender?
Characters: Darcy, Mr. Collins, Elizabeth
Main Ideas:
-Men in higher classes believe they have absolute power over women
-Because they have authority to propose, women become dependent on them
-Collins has no doubt that Elizabeth would say yes because it is financially benefical for him
-Darcy's hubris isolates him from people in lower classes because he believes he is superior to them
