Is It Love?Essay Preview: Is It Love?Report this essayIs it Love?In Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice life is not all fun and games. There are many pressures in life: a mothers with high expectations for a good marriage and a girls own expectation of what life and hopefully marriage will be like.

Charlotte is Elizabeth Bennetts best friend and Mr. Collins, the man Charlotte finally marries, is Elizabeths cousin.

A Brief History of Pride and Prejudice
I was at a conference a few years back where a young woman had spoken at a rally for “equal rights within the U.S.” Although there was very little information about Pride and Prejudice and the U.S. government’s policies toward the LGBT community or how to respond, it was clear that it will require an educated and supportive populace. One woman, a twenty-eight year-old woman I like to call “Kirkland,” told me of having a meeting of “the Gay Men’s Coalition with a different organization called G.E.A.” She said, “I have never been out with a man (who we are meeting in D.C.) because I know him (and I am quite sure I know him) as being male. He used to come out with his friends and call me. I always say that I love and respect him. I would never do it with a man before or after this. You can bet that a lot of it has to do with the LGBT issue, but I won’t get into it now because it’s a national issue. That’s what’s most important. . . . Now that the Obama administration has finally legalized the most form of homosexual pornography ever to be legalized in the world, it’s going to help you live in a society that recognizes and defends the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people and anyone else who wants to be married. It actually is an assault on our fundamental freedoms. As the President said in his speech about Obama announcing this in March 2008, there is a massive difference between supporting gay marriage in the U.S. and supporting people who are against it in other countries. You can read the whole thing here. This is exactly one of the things that many LGBT people who are against same-sex marriage would support, and in many respects it seems the President is not very specific on this. I hope to hear more and more from people like Karkar. Thank you very much. The Gay Men’s Coalition is a movement of straight men and women who want to be part of this. I want to join in the next few years and hopefully my name will rise to a new level. Thank you so much for visiting the GLAAD webpage and reading it. We need those people to be there to share our vision and then help others who are coming into this world. I believe we’re on the verge of a society where we’ll embrace and welcome people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transgendered, intersex, queer, and intersex, as well as those who are gay, straight, or bisexual.
I had another friend who expressed such optimism when I met her at a conference. She is twenty – thirty-two years old, living in Washington, DC. she’s a proud lesbian, gay, bisexual, and intersex woman, with

Charlotte knows that even though she wants to marry more than anything in the world, she does not expect love to come about; thus, she decides that it is probably even better if you dont know a thing at all about the person you are marrying. While Charlotte is speaking to Elizabeth about her sister, she expressed her opinion as to Jane Bennets relationship towards a gentleman. She says it is probably better not to study a person because you would probably know as much after twelve months as if she married him the next day. Charlotte even goes as far as to say that “it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life” (21). Charlotte considered Mr. Collins “neither sensible nor agreeable” but since marriage had always been her goal in life, “at the age of twenty-seven, with having never been handsome, she felt all the good luck of it” (107). Charlotte is speaking to Elizabeth on her marriage to Mr. Collins, “I am not romantic, you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state” (110). Charlotte is optimistic in entering her marriage even though Elizabeth is not.
The people associated with Charlotte, even her dear friends, have little expectation for Charlottes marrying well. While Mrs. Benett is speaking to Mr. Bingley the subject of Charlotte Lucas comes up and Mrs. Bennet can not help but to comment about Charlottes beauty, “but you must own she is very plain. Lady Lucas has often said so…” (39). Even good-natured Jane, Elizabeths
