Mr Collins; Sweet dreams or beautiful nightmare

I agree with both Jordan Weiss and Brian Lee in that Mr. Collins is both a comedy and a nightmare. Jordan Weiss claims that Mr. Collins is both a comic relief and a nightmare. Mr. Collins is a comedic character in that all of his notions are extremely exaggerated and Austen makes Mr. Collins a very funny character. Jordan Weiss also implies that Mr. Collins is the nightmare of his time. Moreover, Brian Lee states that Mr. Collins is a nightmare to the audience reading Austen's book; however, in the book he is a comic relief to the people of the 19th century England. Mr. Collins' perspective on love and marriage is very funny yet extremely wrong.
