Question

What was Mr. Collins unable to understand?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr William Collins is a fictional character in the 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. He is the distant cousin of Mr Bennet, a clergyman and holder of a valuable living at the Hunsford parsonage near Rosing's Park, the estate of his patroness Lady Catherine De Bourgh, in Kent. Since Mr and Mrs Bennet have no sons, Mr Collins is also the current heir presumptive to the Bennet's family estate of Longbourn House, in Meryton, Hertfordshire.[1] Mr Collins is first introduced during his visit to Longbourn, Mr Bennet's estate. Mr. Collins is some-what comparable to the Shakespearean character, Malvolio, from Twelfth Night.
