Lady Catherine
Lady Catherine lives at an estate called Rosings, in Kent. Mr. Collins home, called Hunsford, is very near it.
Lady Catherine could hardly believe it when Elizabeth refused Mr. Collins' marriage proposal.
Mr. Collins' benefactor was his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. She provided him with the living at Hunsford Parsonage, which secured his financial future and allowed him to become the clergyman there.
Lady Catherine De Bourgh (Pride and Prejudice) owned it and later married Mr Collins.
Mr. Collins says that Anne De Bourgh, Lady Catherine's daughter, is very beautiful, "far superior to the handsomest of her sex," but he also admits she is not very accomplished because she is sickly and this prevents her from doing certain things. He also has told Lady Catherine that Miss De Bourgh seems destined to be a duchess, and that she would adorn the rank, rather than deriving consequence from it.
This quote is from Mr. Collins in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." Mr. Collins is referring to Lady Catherine de Bourgh as his benefactress, highlighting her influence and support in his life.
Lady Catherine De Bourgh owned it and later married Mr Collins.
Mr. Collins advised against Elizabeth marrying Mr. Darcy because he believed Mr. Darcy was above her in social status and wealth, which would make them an unsuitable match. Additionally, Mr. Collins himself had aspirations of marrying Elizabeth and saw Mr. Darcy as a rival for her hand.
Lady Catherine De Bourgh (Pride and Prejudice) owned it and later married Mr Collins.
Based on the information in the reading assignment, Lady Catherine de Bourgh would most likely agree with the reason Charlotte Lucas married Mr. Collins. Lady Catherine values social status and financial security above personal happiness, which is similar to Charlotte's practical approach to marriage.
She treats Lady Catherine with the respect properly due an older woman with a higher social rank, but without the awe some other people, notably Mr. Collins, seemed to have. She treats Lady Catherine fearlessly, as a person not intellectually or morally superior to herself, a fact that probably irked Lady Catherine at least a bit.
