] Willoughby was so dumb that he wouldn't do the one thing that would guarranty his financial health (marry Eliza). Or the one thing that would guarranty his happiness (marry Marianne).
I'm confused. I'm not sure that Willoughby knew that if he had married Eliza he would have been financially secure. I think he thought that his guardian would have disinherited him anyway. Then he would have been poor and unhappy. Can't blame him for disliking that deal. Isn't it only later that he finds out that had he acted honorably all along, he wouldn't have been left penniless? Of course, we all blame him for not marrying Marianne, but that's another story.
