Pod and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice Chapters 19-20


Listen Later

Chapter 19: Collins's first proposal! Topics include Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson's divorce, this book as a murder mystery, no means no, "You're not like other girls," and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Chapter 20: The aftermath of Collins's proposal! Topics include the very first Mr. Bennet fangirl, Collins putting Lizzy on a pedestal, Mrs. B's nerves, Charlotte as a part of the family, and Collins's Tumblr shitposting.

 

Study Questions:

Topics include the first proposal, Fiddler on the Roof, Daddy B vs. Mrs. B, what we've learned about Collins, predictions for Collins' future (Does Mr. Bennet DIE? Does Collins marry Mary?), Lizzy's rejection, Lickham, Molly's Jingley predictions, and our dating lives.

Funniest quote: "Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do."

Questions moving forward: Is this the end of Collins?

Who wins the chapter? Lizzy!
