Carole Surfus... Charlotte believes that a woman "must take command of every half hour in which she can command his attention. When she is secure of him, there will be leisure for falling in love as much as she chooses"(20). She also believes "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance...They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation, and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whome you are to pass your life" (21). You could say that Charlotte thinks little of affection in marriage and that you should go into a marriage being ignorant of the other person and their faults. Charlotte and Mr.Collin's marriage fits into this philosophy perfectly. Charlotte view of her new home was "Mr.Collins's picture of Hunsford and Rosings rationally softened" (142). Their marriage also is one of duty, one can ifer that they rarely spend time together and they both do their separate thing. Its the ideal marriage for Charlotte and Mr.Collins.
I think that you did a really great job with this post. You managed to fit three quotes for a small two question blog. This is more than what I usually provide for my post. Good job exceding expectations. I also think that your quote choice was quite dandy in answering these two questions. I think that you have completely explained what Charlotte's views on marriage were and what her marriage was like. GREAT JOB :)
Dear Carole :), Your use of quotes and analyzing them really helped me understand better what Charlotte thought of marriage. I think you are completely right in saying that "Its the ideal marriage for Charlotte and Mr. Collins". It was was a "duty" for them to get married because both were in need of a spouse. Overall, I think your post was lovely :)
Carole, I agree with your assessment of Charlotte's philosophy. She obviously appreciates spending time on her own rather than with her husband, and encouraging him to garden definitely aids this matter. Although they may be unaffectionate, their system will likely be equally advantageous. ~~Haley White
