Resource summary
Proposals
Pride and Prejudice
Mr. Collins
Arrogant
Assumes that Lizzie will say yes
Barely lets her answer
Love is not needed in this marriage
Marriage is seen as a business transaction
Patriarchal society
The only opinion that seems important is Mr Collin's and Lizzies parents
Mr Darcy
Classist
Recognizes the gap in class between himself and Lizzie's family
Thinks that he is doing Lizzie a favour by marrying her
Considers his love for her as an 'inconvenience'
Juxtaposes Collins-love IS important in marriage
Describes Lizzie's family as embarrassing
Jane Eyre
St. John
Marriage is seen as a business transaction
Patriarchal society
Wants Jane to accompany him to Africa
Missionary's wife
Hence why he refuses to marry Rosalind
Is convinced that she would be a bad missionary's wife
Love is unimportant
Rochester
Proposal takes place on a midsummer evening
Juxtaposes most classical proposals-most take place during a Spring morning
Beginning of the end
Winter is approaching-signifies death and decay
Moth-dying as soon as it touches the light
Being exposed to the truth
Rochester risking the law and God to marry Jane
Committing bigomy
'May God forgive me'
Very passionate
Marriage=love
Ignores the class divide between he and Jane
Passion from both participants
The Importance of Being Ernest
Jack/Gwendolin
Comical proposal
Ridicules the Victorian values of proposals
Jack is a mess-unsure of what to say, tripping over his words
Gwen is impatient-prompts him to propose
The female is the one controlling the situation
Goes against the patriarchal views of the time
Ignores the class divide between Jack and Gwen
The proposal is interrupted by Lady Bracknell
Gwen's mother
Algernon/Cecily
Cecily is in control of the proposal
Prompts Algy to propose
Seems unfazd/unsurprised when he does
Very romantic environment for a not very romantic proposal
Set in a gondola boat
The proposal has apparently already happened according to Cecily
Cecily lives a fantasy life with Algy in her diary
'A relationship is respectable only when they have separated at some point'
Takes Algy aback-confuses and pushes him out of his confident persona
