Collins is a Nightmare

Contrary to popular belief, Collins epitomizes a woman's, at least nowadays, biggest nightmare. Often crude and always selfish, Collins offers nothing appetizing in terms of physical or emotional 'character;' however, as most often was the case during the time period, Collins has a lush and wealthy lifestyle to share with any woman who can bear his repulsiveness. Moreover, as displayed by his arrogance to Elizabeth's denial, Collins is a man of few understandings. Frankly, Collins believes that woman are completely subordinate to him (and men in general) as he stereotypes women as objects. Consequently, Collins deserves no better than himself: an inadequate, selfish, rude, and simply vial man.
