short story with a wellconceived and executed plot, Charlotte Lucas notes Mr. Collins's anger and his obvious intention to avenge himself on the Bennet family Elizabeth in particular when he becomes Master of Longbourn.
While she feels she would have been able to tolerate his silliness, this reveals a troubling side to his character that she wants no part of.
Despite her parents' eagerness for Charlotte to inspire him to propose, she opts for another, more desirable, course of action.
Charlotte skillfully deflects Mr. Collins's interest and then injects herself more regularly in the path of the current Master of Longbourn, Mr.
Bennet.
It's a perfectly constructed little tale with lovely writing and an intelligent plot, Great character study of Charlotte, Clean content. "The Lucases are very artful people indeed, sister, They are all for what they can get, " Mrs. Bennet in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

When Elizabeth Bennet declines Mr, Collin's offer of marriage, no one heeded Mrs, Bennet's emotional declaration that Elizabeth should never see her mother again if she didn't change her mind.
More prophetic words were not spoken because the good woman was carried off just after that,

if more difficult to achieve plan than to gain silly Mr.
Collin's marriage proposal. Her eyes were turned to the widowed master of Longbourn,
While too short to achieve the best of development, I thought this unique variation tale had some great bones and a wonderful heroine in Charlotte Lucas who cleverly achieves what she desires and has consideration for the lives of others around her.
Interesting variation. Still not quite sure how I feel about this story, I definite enjoyed this unpublished oneshot, I could see it developed into a novella or full novel, Interesting story. How might the Bennet family situation change if Mrs, Bennet died The story is certainly a possibility and Id mildly interesting, sitelink fanfiction. net/s/

Oneshot, onechapter, quick read: clean: In canon, Mr, Bennet once told Mrs. Bennet that he might outlive her, In this story he does, Mrs. Bennet had for the last time let circumstances get the better of her, When Lizzy refused Mr. Collins proposal, and Mr. Bennet supported her, Mrs. Bennet, in her anger, rage, and frustration, suffered apoplexy and died,

Lizzy had refused Mr. Collins as she had predicted, Mrs, Bennet was dead and Mr, Collins was making a cake of himself, In order to relieve her friends from his behavior, she invited him to Lucas Lodge for dinner and listened very carefully to his opinions.
Lets just say, her parents were thrilled that an unmarried gentleman, with future prospects tied to Longbourn, was paying attention to their very eligible unmarried daughter.
Mrs. Bennets opinion of the Lucas family was of them being artful and out to get what they could.
After Eliza refused Mr. Collins, he started turning his attention toward Miss Lucas as his potential future wife, Charlotte knew she had a decision to make, She listened carefully as Collins described in excessive detail his life at Hunsford, This included the influence and condescension of the GREAT Lady Catherine de Bourgh in his daily life.
Suddenly, the seed of a plan began to form as her opinion of him diminished in comparison to what was right before her.
As I read this I really listened to the wisdom and insightful thoughts of our Charlotte.
She was an intelligent woman with sense and was really thoughtful as she considered her options, I liked following her thought process and she was very logical in her planning, Smart woman. I always liked Charlotte. I no longer think of her as being artful but being pragmatic,
Spoiler Alert This was not the first time that Ive seen this plot play out.
With a few variations, the outcome was pretty much the same, Charlotte Lucas married Mr. Bennet. It was a quick read and we had a HEA for all the Bennet girls, The last section of the story gave a quick glimpse into the lives and marriage connections of Mr.
Bennets daughters. This was a cute story,

This short story puts an interesting twist on Mr, Collins' proposal to Lizzy for amid her protestations to Mr, Bennet and Lizzy Mrs. Bennet suffers an apoplexy and dies, While entertaining Mr. Collins Miss Charlotte Lucas has an Epiphany that the master of Longbourn is much more desirable than the heir to Longbourn.
Charlotte is neither bold nor pushy but instead makes herself useful to the Bennets and friendly to the widower.
Mourning prevents Lydia from going to Brighton and obviously Lizzy has no reason to go to Rosings.
The story is almost angst free, Charlotte was too practical and unfeeling for my liking, when she stopped a conversation to think, it was a "computer says no" moment.
still enjoyed the story, Mrs. Bennet in a state of apoplexy drops dead upon learning that Mr, Bennet will not support her in forcing a marriage between Elizabeth and Mr, Collins. From there, this short story sets the stage for Charlotte Lucas, She was hoping to bring Mr, Collin's attention to herself after he proposal was declined as she knew it would be, but learns that even she does not like Mr.
Collins. She strategically convinces him that she is not the right woman for him and he runs back to Hunsford.
Much to the surprise of everyone, she has an alternate plan : The story ends with a very well done epilogue.
