OUTLINE

Intro: talk about marriage back then and Austen's life and whatever
Thesis: Austen uses discussions of entailment to blah blah blah through satire
First: my main idea will be how Collins' discussions of entailment combine with his ridiculous nature to show Austen's opinion of entailment. One quote will be from his proposal, another from his conversations about Lady Catherine, and another will be from his letter to Mr. Bennet
Second: My main idea will be about all of the sympathies and stuff the Bennets get from people who rank higher than they do about their entailment...obvious satire. There was one from LCDB, another from Gardiner, and i think one from Miss Bingley; if one of those is not really real, I'm sure there are more that i can find.
Third: how ridiculous Mrs. Bennet is and all of the things she says about entailment and how she doesnt understand it and what she does with her daughters. Quotes: the one where she doesnt understand it, where she is okay with "killing" Jane, where she tries to push Lizzy into marriage with her cousin (especially with the dose of normal that Mr. Bennet gives to that whole situation), and where she is talked of as crazy/calls herself crazy for being so dedicated to marring-off her girls.
Conclusion- conclude
