Julia G. One of my favorite quotes is “Happy thought indeed” when Mr. Collins proudly shows off the shelves in the closet which Lady Catherine had him put in. I have taken this quote on and say it when there has been something ridiculous stated.
I think Miss Bingley is the primary agent of sarcasm in the book, when she goes out of her way the make mean or slighting comments about Elizabeth and other members of the Bennet family, "I would sooner call her mother a wit" being a prime example. A primary distinguishing element being that the goal of irony is usually humor. As in the scene at Lady Catherine's, when Elizabeth comments to Mr. Darcy and Col. Fitzwilliams that she does not play as well as she might want, but had always thought that it was because she did not practice enough to achieve the necessary level of skill.
I think we see this also in the opening scenes, when Mr. Bennet talks about Mr. Bingley, and also at the end of the book, when he tells the family to "send in" any other young men who might want to marry another of his daughters. And when he speaks about his wife's nerves as having been his companions over the years, as well as in his gentle baiting of Mr. Collins, whose primary deficiency is that he is not aware of how silly he is.

Спасибо Вам. Вы создали шедевр.
I'd say Jane is in on the joke too
Yeah I always thought so to, the way the camera shifts to her, although maybe she doesn't find is as funny as Lizzy does.
Irony is one of the main source of the charm in both the novel and the 1995 BBC series
Thank you! I 'm enjoying every part :)
Yes, Americans do understand.
Julia G. Of course we do!

@@Peggyanns It's one of my favourite comments too. Mr Bennet himself could have said it 😅
Pride and predjudice
Does Irony mean Sarcasm? o.O

Really- I don’t see any irony with Mr Bennet’s comments about Collin throughout the book. He expressed his apprehension, but definitely no sarcasm
What about when he's baiting him at breakfast about the compliments to his patron?

oh, I don't think it's apprehension. Mr. Bennet is expressing his anticipation at delighting in Mr. Collins' ridiculousness.
Can't believe no one got this including Darcyfied. LOL!!!
What a load of rubbish! These people have knout else to talk about!
