BBC Pride and Prejudice Part 3 Analysis

I want to take a very good look at the scene in which Elizabeth goes to Kent to see the new Mr. and Mrs. Collins. Charlotte confides to Lizzy about her marriage, and there is a certain air of disapproval in her words. She also sounds like she is incredibly bored. She talks about Mr. Collin's daily treks to Rosings to see none other than her ladyship Ms. Catherine de Bourgh, and how she supposedly "encourages" him to do so. It sounds to me that Charlotte has a little bit of the green eyed monster, but is trying to mask it. I remember one of the previous scenes in which Charlotte tells Lizzy that she is not romantic, and she believes that her life with Mr. Collins will be a fulfilling one. It is becoming more and more evident  that this cannot be true. First and foremost, Charlotte describes her husband in the most mundane of tones. There is no love, no reverence, there's not even disdain. It's literally nothing. She couldn't sound any more bored with her life. Secondly, even though she primarily sounds bored, I also detect a hint of jealousy at the continuous mentioning of Lady Catherine. She talks about how he sits in the library, which has a good view of the road in case lady Catherine were to drive by in her multiple carriages. Mr. Collin's clearly has some sort of borderline stalker obsession with Lady Catherine, and I think it's starting to rub off on his wife in the wrong way. Even though Charlotte is a self proclaimed anti-romance person, her lack of a real marriage is starting to eat at her. I feel as if a part of her would like at least a little of that attention to be shifted to her. I think she feels expendable, that he doesn't need her and only keep her around to maintain a good standing in the church. The quote that really made me wonder was when she said that everyday they spend only a few minutes in each other's company. This solidifies the idea that they aren't really husband and wife, they're barely even friends. You cannot get to truly know someone if only a fraction of your day is spent with them. She continues to say that she likes the solitude, and that it makes her content, which brings back her first statement. But the sly look in her eye that she shoots Lizzy the moment she says it leads me to think that she is very much the opposite of content with her solitude, and she wishes that she had someone to at least talk to. Lizzy closes the scene with a knowing smile that indicates her sympathy for her old friend. Lizzy and Charlotte have been best friends for a very long time now, and I believe that Lizzy knows that Charlotte is dissatisfied, but she is too good of a person to bring up such an uncomfortable topic. I also think that she is secretly glad that this wasn't her fate, because it very much could have been.
