To provide an accurate answer to how the author establishes the narrative point of view in the excerpt from "Pride and Prejudice," the actual excerpt in question would need to be provided. Since there is no excerpt included in your question, I can only provide a general answer based on Jane Austen's typical narrative style.
In "Pride and Prejudice," Jane Austen primarily utilizes a third-person omniscient point of view, with a particular emphasis on Elizabeth Bennet's perspective. This means the narrator not only describes the events and characters from an outside view but also delves into Elizabeth's internal thoughts and feelings. Consequently, the point of view is likely established by either:
- "by describing Elizabeth’s thoughts about Mr. Collins" if the excerpt focuses on how Elizabeth perceives his behavior or character, or
- "by describing Mr. Collins’s feelings toward Elizabeth" if the excerpt provides insight into Mr. Collins's feelings, possibly through Elizabeth's understanding or the narrator's exposition.
The options regarding the pronouns "you and your" and "my and I" suggest a second-person or first-person point of view, respectively. However, since "Pride and Prejudice" is not written in these points of view, these options would typically not apply to the novel's narrative style.
If you could provide the specific excerpt from "Pride and Prejudice," I could offer a more precise answer.
