This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Authors frequently employ elements of irony and satire in order to reveal their attitude (tone) toward the text and toward the text’s characters and to enable readers to evaluate plot developments and characters’ actions effectively and critically. Study Chapter XIX (19), particularly Mr. Collins’ proposal to Elizabeth Bennet.

Analyze Collins’s use of language, including diction, hyperbole, and syntax, and explain how his language largely produces dramatic irony and satire.

Collins uses hyperbole throughout his proposal to Elizabeth Bennet by exaggerating his feelings about her. This creates dramatic irony because the reader already knows that they just met and he originally fancied marrying her sister. Even Elizabeth knows it and finds the proposal amusing.

Explanation:

Furthermore, the diction he uses when he refers to her father’s death as the “melancholy event” generates a reverse contradiction of his view of that experience as his chance to inherit Elizabeth’s state if they marry.

Finally, the syntax in his proposal displays his reasons to marry Elizabeth in chronological and analytical order, showing that his intentions have a lot more to do with a planned strategy to better his social and economic status.
