This is evident when Mr. Collins first proposes to Elizabeth and later, once Elizabeth refuses, he 2turns to her best friend and proposes to her, “the next morning he proposes marriage to Elizabeth and of course he refuses him summarily. Then she is flabbergasted to learn that Charlotte has accepted Mr.Collins subsequent proposal to her.” The characters in Gulliver’s Travels, living on the island are literally known as “yahoos” because they act like savages, they have no feeling simply because they were raised in a jungle and were never taught how to have human emotion. Not only do “yahoos” have no emotions and act in an uncivilized manner, but the so-called human beings act as yahoos in other ways as well.The human beings of the novel Pride and Prejudice are known as greedy people in a way that all they cherish is the materialism of wealth, “a truth universally acknowledged that a single man is in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” This shows that even though men may have a fortune they want a wife to make their fortune wealthier. The same can be said for the yahoos of Gulliver’s Travels but in a different extreme perspective, “For if you throw among five Yahoos as much Food as would be sufficient for fifty, they will, instead of eating peaceably, fall together by the Ears, each single one impatient to have all to it self;…” These yahoos are greedy in ways that they were never taught any manners but there is nothing that can explain the greediness of human beings that are raised in an upper class society.

In Gulliver’s Travels the characters are from the lower class range and enjoy the outdoors/nature, and the savages and the horses actually live outdoors whereas the characters in Pride and Prejudice are always indoor...
