Elisabeth is appalled and saddened, whereas Jane - who cannot think ill of anybody - hopes they will find something in common. She also tries to convince Lizzie that Charlotte must have some feelings for Collins, otherwise she wouldn't have married him.

I think you mean how she says how it makes sense for Wickham to want to marry Miss. Mary King, even though he doesn't seem in love with her, and she believed to just be marrying her for her money. While she didn't at all approve of Charlotte marrying Mr. Collen's for his money.

Immediately after Charlotte became engaged, Elizabeth spent some time feeling they could never be close again. Elizabeth's discussion of the marriage with Jane made her realize that there was more to the issue than she had understood, and when Elizabeth went to Hunsford, she could see that Charlotte was not entirely wrong in marrying Mr Collins. In the end, the two could never be as close as they had once been, because they had one important issue, Charlotte's marriage, that they could not discuss. Aside from that, however, they remained good friends.

What Jane Austen film is this from 'If you don't marry him your mother will never see you again but if you do marry him then I will never see you again'?

Pride and Prejudice That was when one of Elizabeth Bennett's suitors, Mr. Collins asks Elizabeth to marry him. Elizabeth refuses, and Elizabeth's mother Mrs. Bennett appeals to Mr. Bennett to talk to Elizabeth and convince her to accept Mr. Collins' proposal. She tells Mr. Bennett to tell Elizabeth that she would never see her again if she didn't marry Mr. Collins. However, Mr. Bennett sides with Elizabeth - clearly evident from this dialogue. The exact dialogue is - " An unhappy alternative is now before you, Elizabeth. You must now become a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do." There are a number of film versions of Pride and Prejudice, and this particular line is probably in all of them because it is one of the best known lines from the novel itself.
