Surprisingly, Mr. Bennet approves of Elizabeth's refusal. Although the rest of Elizabeth's family believes in the traditional norms of the time, Mr. Bennet thinks more outside the box. He primarily concerns himself with Elizabeth's happiness and knows that her free spirited attitude would not be a match for Mr. Collins. Luckily Mr. Bennet does not jump to the same conclusion that Mrs. Bennet does. Elizabeth's mom feels that Elizabeth will be a lonely, single woman forever if she refuses Mr. Collins. The demand for a woman to marry early, because of the necessity of a husband for property and money, are demonstrated by Mr. Collins' quick proposal and his expectation that Elizabeth will say yes. However, Mr. Bennet's dislike of Mr. Collins and his approval of Elizabeth's actions show that not everyone believed in marrying the first person who presents an offer.
