Comments on Brian And JOhnny

I agree with both Johnny and Brian on their comments. Johnny makes a good point that collins is comic relief because he never stops trying to propose to Elizabeth even though she keeps rejecting him. Johnny goes on to say how Collins acts like he rejected Elizabeth after she rejected him. Johnny, Brian, and I all agree that in those days Mr. Collins would truly be a nightmare and a half, but from our perspective he truly is hilarious.

D.W. Harding. Collins Nightmare or Comedian??

In his essay, D.W. harding claims that Collins is both a comic and a realistic nightmare. He says, "From some points of view (he is a) caricature, in other directions e does, by easy stages, fit into the real world". Harding claims that he is a nightmare because of how he affects elizabeth. He makes her life miserable through her mother. When she refuses to marry him her mother really annoys Elizabeth. However bad this may be for Elizabeth, the proposal scene is quite comical for the reader. Collins is just so ridiculous that we have to laugh. Harding calls collins a "comic monster".

Next Essay

In my next essay I really need to focus on avoiding plot summary and instead advancing my arguments. Also, I need to improve my closing sentences for my body paragraphs. They need to be more effective in proving my point. Last but not least I need to make my conclusion more lively and less plot orientated. It needs to sum up my ideas and opinions and not the story.
