Quote 1: "Elizabeth went away with her head full of him. She could think of nothing but of Mr. Wickham, and of what he had told her, all the way home; " (Austen 64).
Description 1:
Thus far, Elizabeth has not showed any extended interest in the opposite sex. She was offended at Mr. Darcy's vanity and annoyed at Mr. Collins's utter ridiculousness. Elizabeth is not intrigued by men of similar mannerism (I.E. Mr. Darcy) or by men who are rather different from her (I.E Mr. Collins). Elizabeth's opinion of men seems to coincide with society's views. People gossip of Mr. Darcy's arrogance and Mr. Collins stupidity and Elizabeth shares these same view points. Mr. Wickham is well received by the characters within the novel and so it is a sound prediction that she will also find him intriguing.
Quote 2: "Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth-and it was soon done" (Austen 53)
Description 2:
Marriage is a loving union in which love is the feeling and marriage is the action. In between a feeling and an action there should be a passion which comes from a feeling being pushed by one's inner soul to an over infatuation. Mr. Collins approaches courtship with a certain obligatory formality that is considerably repulsive to Elizabeth.
