What are the views of Elizabeth's and Charlotte's families concerning their daughters' marriages in Pride and Prejudice.

While both of the these women married for very different
reasons, I think the novel suggests that both families would be very pleased with the
end results.  Looking at Elizabeth's marriage to Darcy, it is rather easy to assume that
the Bennets are thrilled beyond belief.  Not only is Darcy the wealthiest man
imaginable, he is also polite and upstanding, especially in his efforts to resolve the
situation with Wickham and Lydia.  He has grown as man who seemed haughty, to one that
Elizabeth clearly loves, and they would be happy for
her.

Even though Charlotte's marriage to Collins is done
for financial security and not love, I still suspect that the Lucas's are very pleased
with the match.  First and foremost, Charlotte will be taken care of, financially, for
the rest of her life.  Without this marriage, she would have been left destitute upon
her father's death.  As annoying as Collins may be, he is a respected member of the
clergy; he will inherit the Longbourne estate when Mr. Bennet dies; he is under the
patronage of the very influential and powerful Lady Catherine.  Charlotte is clearly
making the best of her choice, and I think the Lucas's have every right to be pleased by
her choice.
