Pride and Prejudice Vol. III Chapters 14-16

Chapter 14: Lady Catherine de Bourgh tells Lizzy how she really feels. Highlights include Lizzy pleading the fifth, Molly and Becca's Austen personas, Molly forgetting who Caroline is, and Lizzy's one star Yelp review.

Chapter 15: Daddy Bennet gets a letter from Collins. Highlights include the notion of forgiveness and our perceptions of others' emotions.

Chapter 16: Molly spills her coffee all over her book. Darcy returns to Longbourn! Lizzy and Darcy have The Talk! Highlights include a scene in the rain, the satisfaction of hearing someone take ownership for being shitty, Darcy as the Beast, and Molly finding out nobody kisses in Jane Austen.

Study Questions: Topics discussed include Catherine de Bourgh's classism, breaking etiquette, marriage as a financial act, Collins's letter, everyone's perspectives on the Dizzy relationship, these chapters as a proposal, a comparison between this and Proposalgeddon, Lizzy and Darcy as Lorelai and Luke, a Dizzy montage, the lack of kissing

Funniest Quote: "That is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man, it would've been nothing, but his perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike make it so delightfully absurd. Much as I abominate writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins's correspondence for any consideration. Nay. When I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving him the preference even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and hypocrisy of my son-in-law."

Questions moving forward: Will they kiss? Will Lizzy's parents reject Darcy?

Who wins the chapter? Dizzy!
