I agree with both Brynn and Tim's blog posts about Mr. Collins. Brynn's make points arguing that Austen's characters are products of the society in which the novel is set and also that the reader is intended to laugh along with Mr. Collins' character because he is so outrageous. With Tim's blog I agree that Mr. Collins is a woman's worst nightmare and makes several mistakes such as the proposal. Also he continues to be clueless of how annoyed the Bennets are with him and his harassment of the girls.
