    What a great actor David Bamber is. I haven´t seen a better Mr. Collins than his. This guy was Jane Austen´s Mr. Collins in flesh and bone. Cloying, creepy, cheesy, wet, dark and simply ridiculous. Genious actor.

    When you think about the fact that she is getting the first (and at possibly only) proposal of all the sisters, from the man who stands to leave all 5 of them homeless the minute their father dies (if he wanted to), and the fact that the family's future hangs in the balance......what Elizabeth did was GUTSY. You have to be brave to stand up and defy social and family convention with that much pressure on you. No matter how greasy and cloying this man is, he holds a LOT of power and she knows it.

      He's a weirdo, but he might be her only chance at marriage. Back then, marriage was pushed as the ultimate aim for a woman, and was more business-like. Plus if she wants children, she might be turning down her only chance to ever have any. Need Covfefe is right, this is a gutsy move.

Much like Charlotte Lucas, he’s not a romantic but a pragmatic, although in his case that is mainly because he lacks both intelligence and imagination. He sees courtships as a ritual and marriage as a transaction. Pretty much any girl would do for him. He’s the archetype of the adequate husband that society at that time seemed to force upon girls like Elizabeth.

      It's important to note that Elizabeth Bennet was well aware that Mr. Collins was, despite his enormous pomposity and condescension, paying her a great compliment. Marrying her would secure her family's future in the event of Mr. Bennet's death, and it was magnanimous of him to overlook her small dowry. Compare that to Mr. Darcy's declaration that the Bennet's situation is so decidedly beneath his own!

      Actually that doesn't apply. By the rules of entailment, Mr. Collins would inherit the state even if a Miss Bennet had a son, because that son would belong to his father's heritage, not the Bennet's. The only way the state would remain with the Bennets would be if a male Bennet fathered a male heir.

Mr Elliott does the same thing in Persuasion, turns up, becomes friends with the baron and tries to marry Anne to ensure he inherits the estate.

    Mr Collins, although he receives e few of Lizzy's rejections, he is not persuaded to be discarieged in his marriage proposal. When Mrs Bennet decides to interfere in the matter to persuade her daughter, Mr Collins is absolutely dismissed on his own will.🙄

    THANK YOU, SO MUCH!!! 💝💝💝💝💝 -- For uploading!!! You've highlighted this given life to a beloved, HERstorical example of feminism. Thus, additionally, given me a living video to refer prospective suitors to!! I have ABSOLUTELY no intention, EVER, to marry, nor have any type of sexual intimacy with ANYONE ever again for the rest of my life. So this video TOTALLY LIBERATES ME from ANY form of forced ongoing, repetitive and emotionally draining ways to reject anyone with sensitivity, compassion, patience, clarity, and complete honesty, because it already contains EVERYTHING I could ever wish to express.
    THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!! 💝🤝👏🎉🌈😁😇

      @@annemary9680 Elizabeth Bennet certainly does not fit into the 21st century category of feminist, even if her refusal to marry for money despite being dependent on marriage would have stood out in the Regency Era. Her moral values fit the time, especially demonstrated when she was mortified and angry by Lydia Bennet running off with Wickham before being properly married.

    David Bamber is one hell of an actor! To play such an obsequiously odious character, so lacking in social graces, so offensive to all, deferential to authority, and caring not a whit for anyone but himself, takes great acting and finesse. His expressions are hilarious! He affords great comic relief served up with a hint of menace in the foreboding of the family home going to him, ugh!
    The one clue that an actor is playing this role and its not really the chap himself, is in the fine fingers of David, the long artistic fingers flying about, not the thick squat hands that Collins would actually have, being a coarse man.
