Collins is hilarious
No one can honestly take Collins seriously. This man clearly has no sense of appropriate language and sticks to what he knows without fail. He is constanly apologizing for events that have nothing to with him and likewise intervening where he is neither wanted nor needed. Additionally, he has an inability to comprehend what others are saying (especially Lizzy) and his whole demeanor, being a plump short man just adds to his hilarity. How one can detest this comical man, is beyond me. For he is an exaggeration of epic porportions that deserves a title as one of the most eccentric characters in the literature of the 1800's.

Adam, had i written an argument based on whether i believed Collins is a nightmare of if he is comical, i too would have stated that he is pathetic. The fact that he wouldn't take "no" as an answer from Liz as his marriage proposal further expresses his intent as a stubborn, arrogant man. But, there is no hateing Mr. Collins because no one is REALLY like him; it is almost impossible to be as blind-sided as Collins. So, not only so agree with you when you say that Collins is a joke, but i also concur with your appreciation of Austen's extreme satire to pole fun at the flaws prevelent in society.
