傲慢与偏见第一章英文原文(中英文实用版)Title: Pride and Prejudice - Chapter One Original TextIt is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a house, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.这是一个被普遍认可的事实：一个拥有丰厚财产的单身男子，必定渴望娶妻。

My dear Mr. Bennet, said his lady to him one day, have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last? Do not you want to tell me who has taken it? I am sure you must have heard something about it.亲爱的贝内特先生，有一天他的夫人对他说，你听说内瑟菲尔德庄园最后租出去的消息了吗？难道你不想告诉我谁租了它吗？我相信你一定听说了些什么。

本科毕业论文（设计）题目：论简奥斯汀作品《傲慢与偏见》中的爱情与婚姻LOVE AND MARRIAGE IN JANE AUSTEN’S WORK—PRIDE AND PREJUDICEA thesisSubmitted to the School of Foreign LanguageShenyang Normal UniversityIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree ofBachelor of ArtsBy Yang XiwenUnder the Supervision ofZhang LinApril 2009ABSTRACTJane Austen is one of the most remarkable women novelists in the world. As an authoress in the eighteenth century in England, she had a sensible idea on love and marriage. On her whole life, she wrote six novels: Northerner Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion, which describes various kinds of characters and their everyday life. Pride and Prejudice, one of the well-known novels in the history of the English literature, was published in 1813. The story talks about trivial matters of love, marriage and family life between country squires and fair ladies in Britain in the 18th century. Through the description of the daily talks and doings of young men and women, Austen pointed their characteristics. All of the characters had different experiences, and acted in different ways. However, they had a common pursuit, that‘s ‗good marriage‘. This paper is to make an analysis of four marriages in Pride and Prejudice and discuss the deep outlook for their marriage in the light of social background at the time. In describing the characters‘everyday life and one marriage after another, Austen expressed her sensible view on it clearly. In her opinion, money was essential to a marriage while the equality in social status would increase the possibility of the marriage, but what affected the marriage most were manners. According to her, it was the good manners that united the heroes and heroines. Compared with the social scene on marriage nowadays, maybe her view was so restricted. But during her time, her view was so advanced that it was not accepted widely. On summary, we can find the author‘s ideaabout marriage from the analysis: marriage, property and social status interconnected, but not absolutely.Key Words: Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, analysis, marriage毕业设计（论文）原创性声明和使用授权说明原创性声明本人郑重承诺：所呈交的毕业设计（论文），是我个人在指导教师的指导下进行的研究工作及取得的成果。

傲慢与偏见婚姻观
After I have a general understanding about pride and prejudice, what attracts me the most is matter of marriage. The novel reflects the reality that people tend to weigh the first when it comes to the marriage. Four kind of marriage have its original figure in realistic life.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is admirable and praiseworthy. Although, it seems that, they haven’t attracted anyone’s eyes. What stopped them from getting together at first? It is pride and prejudice. At the first ball, when Lizzy asked Mr. Darcy to have a dance. He refused. He didn’t think that anyone at the village can deserve him. After this, Lizzy promised not to pay attention to him anymore because of his pride. There are other two things that make the impression of the hero worse. One is that she thinks it’s he that had separated her sister and her lover. The second is that she heard of something bad, fabricated by Wickham who has contradiction with Darcy. These things make Elizabeth have deeper prejudice towards Darcy. At last, when everything comes to light, she regretted. She found that she had misunderstood him. And Darcy was not the former one any longer and had removed his pride He made an offer of marriage to her again and was accepted.On other hand, Charlotte’s marriage is the most realistic. Charlotte is Elizabeth’s best friend, but they have different choices on marriage. Although Charlotte is a well-educated girl but she doesn’t have much property. She isn’t as beautiful as other girls. She realizes that marriage isn’t equal with happiness, but it is inherently like a safe to a woman. As an already 27 years old woman,her choice of marriage is entirely out of realistic consideration. When she first met Collins, she saw his folly, and when he asked her to marry him, she also clearly know “Collin is certainly not a reasonable person, and do not let people like”. But she still accepts the proposal, for “marriage has been her goal, as to find that kind of guy, married life is less concerned about how well educated, education bu t property for the young woman”. For money and marriage, Charlotte by marriage just wants to get a rich husband, thus she can have the economic security. Marriage for them is a task, but Collins couples obtain from the marriage what they want: Charlotte gets security of rich life; Collins also gets a warm home.Lydia’s marriage is the most ridiculous one. Bennett’s daughter Lydia is a simple, frivolous and vanity girl. Her feelings always kept fluctuating, wavering. Wickham has a handsome appearance but in actual moral corruption, luxury and treachery. First he pursued rich Miss Darcy, he failed. Then he sought other targets such as Elizabeth and failed again. Lydia and Wickham is absurd combination of extreme. Their relationship is completely built on lust and appearance without love foundation, say, is neither practical nor romantic. The marriage between them is conditional, and it is under Darcy’s help that the two talents get married grudgingly. They often rely on Jane or Elizabeth for help, hoping them to pay bills. Wickham’s love to Lydia soon turned into a cold. Lydia and Wickham also from marriage get what they want: Lydia gets erotic satisfied; Wickham gets what he wanted wealth.The happiest marriage belongs to Jane’s.Among all the marriages in this novel, the combination of pleasant Bingley and mild Jane is the most blessed and happy one. The couple has similar interests and they insist on pursuing their true love, which leads them to a happy and perfect marriage. Mr. Bingley has a good looking and he is the person who has giant fortune about 5,000 pounds a year. He is easy to approach and constant in love although he is very rich. However, he is lacking in strength and independence in his marriage, which is a grievous defect of him. He has a pleasant countenance and unaffected manners. It is easy to find that he was agreeable both in appearance and character. Mr. Bingley also noticed Jane at that night. He fell in love with Jane at their first ball and their romance flourished quietly and steadily. His affection toward Jane was obviously sincere and unaffected due to some details. For example, when Jane suffered a trifle cold, he was worried about her very much. Generally speaking, his marriage with Jane is successful by the help of Darcy. They are good friends although they are different in character. Jane is the first children in her family. She is a kind and mild girl who is the most beautiful one among her sisters. As an introverted girl, she is constant in her love but lacks strength and self-confidence. She didn’t want others to know her love to Mr. Bingley, so she pretended that she had nothing to do with him. Darcy thought that though Jane was pleased with Bingley, she didn’t love him. In his eyes, Bingley was involved in an unavailable love. So after then, he made great efforts to separate Bingley from Jane. After Bingley’s departure, Jane suffered great distress. Butbecause of the defect of her character, she pretended to be all right and said nothing about her sadness. But at last Jane abandoned status and harvested love with Bingley. According to the relationship between Bingley and Jane, love and similar interests are the basic factors of a successful and happy marriage. With many similarities in character, people can understand each other easily. Most important of all, the couple with similar interests can lead a happy life, because there are understanding and supporting between them. They don’t care the defects of their partners and even they don’t see any faults in each other.From their marriage, we can see the author’s attitude towards marriage: It is wrong to marry for the property, money and position. She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage, and regards men and women’s emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage.Indeed, their marriages inspire me a lot. A long- term marriage consists of two levels, one is spiritual level, and another is material level. In the society of human, people are always hunting for fortune, status and power, they hardly take the spiritual level which requires trust, respect, maturity, similar interests and mutual admire into consideration. A large number of girls think the fortune as first, so they try their best to find the rich as their husbands, regardless of the fact that after they get married, she could never feel happy. To have a decent life means everything to them. But men have their thoughts. Since women take the money as the only standard, men in return just have an eye on the beauty of a woman. Year by years, women get older, and have no charm; the men wouldrather to find another wife or another woman. Although the material level can’t be ignored, spiritual level obviously accounts for a bigger proportion. If both of you have sincere mutual love, and there is trust and respect in your marriage, can’t the marriage last forever? I believe that marriage is solemn event. For the sake of yourself or your children, never be married easily; if you really want a husband to take care of you and accompany all the life, try to be responsible and never be trapped in the mound of money. Also, it is must to develop our love ability, be a mature woman, and learn to give others love first to form a creative characteristic. Only in this way, the fountain of love can never be dried up, and love is the basic essence of a perfect marriage.。

英语论文-范本《傲慢与偏见》中的婚姻态度（英文）The Attitude of Marriage in Pride and Prejudice: What Has Affected the Choice of Marriage?《傲慢与偏见》中的婚姻态度什么影响了婚姻选择？1“This is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”(Jane Austen, 2021:1) This sentence was stem from the English woman novelist Jane Austen, which was the typical of her masterpiece .Thus it brings out a classic story concerning love and marriage, which took place in England at the beginning of the 19th century.Marriage is a topic that never ends; it has gone through for a long time. However, it is still stared by the public without hesitation. The marriage and human being are closely related, but few people can place themselvesoutside .However, person is different from each other. It is for this reason, everyone has a different marriage. Many anthropologists and sociologists keep on research in this field. Many writers also describe the marriage in their own works. Pride and Prejudice, this famous novel, also presents it to us the different marriages, leaving us to think about the marriage.I. The Summary of Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice can be divided into three parts; the main story is unfolded by the Bennet’s family. Mr. Bennet is an England gentleman, he was living in the country, and at the same time he does not have not much of property and 2000 income of the pounds annually. In the meantime, he had fivedaughters, Jane, Elizabeth, kitty, Mary, Lydia. When Mrs. Bennet comes to realize that it is impossible to have a son and all their property will be inherited by a nephew, so it becomes Mr. Bennet biggest worry to find a husband with great property and social status .“However little know the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughter.”(Jane Austen, 2021:1) Thus, when Mrs. Bennet hears about that Netherfield in the neighborhood will move into a rich bachelor she will be very happy.What makes her exciting is that the gentleman still brings to his friend who is richer than himself. On the dancing party, a beautiful girl Jane who has a long hair, beautiful figure shows her dignity and wins the heart of Mr. Bingley. Mrs. Bennet is bloated and is laughed by Mr. Bingley. While Mr. Darcy is arrogant, in his opinion that on the whole party, expect for the Bingley Sister, dance with other woman all is to suffer mental agony .This lets everyone dislike him very much. Accidentally, Elizabeth hears about Darcy's discussion a bout her. “She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.” (Jane Austen, 2021:12) So she decides to leave Darcy alone.Jane goes and has a chance to visit to Bingley's family, but she is sick because of the raining in the half way, it is impossible to go home. Because of the deep sensibility between sister, Elizabeth visits to her on foot. Jane will be not willing to let her go, Elizabeth settles down. Jane recovers slowly, but Mrs. Bennet is very happy in that the two sisters have more chance to touch with the two rich gentlemen. Bingly loses his heart to Jane with time goes by, but the mistake between Darcy and Elizabeth is difficult to remove. However, Darcy has attacked by the alive and clever Elizabeth.When handsome military officer Wickham shows up, everyone is attacked by him,2Elizabeth has not exception. He tells Elizabeth that his father is the secretary of Darcy's father. Aft er Darcy’s father death, Darcy does notfollow the testament to look after Wickham. Because of the mistake between Elizabeth and Darcy, Elizabeth believes in Wickham's words without hesitation.At this time, Collins who is the Bennet family's prospector inheritor shows up in their daily life. With the help of the Darcy’s aunt, he gets a profession as a priest and satisfied with his situation. For this reason, he decides to marry a lady to compensate the losses the sisters have suffered for his inherit of their property. At first, he in favor of Jane, after taking the hind from Mrs. Bennet, he makes a proposal of marriage to Elizabeth, but he is refused. At last, he makes a proposal to Elizabeth’s friend Charlotte successfully.At the beginning of winter and his friends leave without saying goodbye, this makes Mrs. Bennet and Jane disappoints. Jane receives a letter from Miss. Bingley; which says in the letter that Darcy's sister and Mr. Bingley find each other are suitable. Jane is unhappy. But Elizabeth thinks that there must be some other reasons. Mrs. Bennet's brother Mr. Gardenia takes Jane to London to stretch her leg, but Jane all the time has no chance to see her beloved. Elizabeth is invested by her good friend to have a visit to her new house. Suddenly, Darcy makes a proposal of marriage to Elizabeth; his pose is still very arrogant so as to refuse by Elizabeth. Because she can not forgiveDarcy's arrogant to Wickham, because his prejudice breaks up Jane and Bingley. Darcy leaves in despair.In the summer, Gardenias and Elizabeth have a visit together, when they hear about Darcy is out of the house, by the way, their go to his park, while they meet with the Darcy who comes back in advance.

This makes Darcy to realize that Elizabeth still love him.At the end，Elizabeth and Darcy, as well as Jane and Bingley live happily，While Mrs. Bennet is well to proud to marry three daughters.II. The Background of Pride and PrejudiceA. The Author of This NovelFrom my standpoint, a good grasp of the career of the author was a must to fully understanding a work. Jane Austin (1775-1817), the author of the novel Pride and Prejudice, was born in Steventon of Hampshire, where her father wasa rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family. Herfather and brothers once educated in Oxford. As a result, her family took possession of a big collection of books. She was well tutored at home underthe guidance of her brothers when she was very young. As3Jane Austin put it in Pride and Prejudice: \all the masters that were necessary.\Austen, 2021: 205) In addition to study, she could be seen in a variety of social intercourse. She kept observing and thinking in a world composed of familial and bourgeoisie background. Not only was she acclimatedto such style of life, she was also familiar with and fond of it as well. She considered it to be complete, animated and with the beauty of poem. Thereputed Charlotte Bront once remarked: “I would not li ke to stay in her small house with gentlemen and gentlewomen of her.”①(刘洪涛，2021：169) This seemed to have become a typical criticism. Jane Austin was not as narrow as that, in fact, she did enjoy the bourgeoisie life and never regarded it to be narrow. Conversely, she was longing to draw a picture of it literally and toair the feeling and understanding of her own, as a result of which sheachieved the masterpiece that Maugham considered to be perfect. Jane Austin's work was primarily concerned with the marriages and romance between man and woman, but the author herself who arranged marriages for the protagonists in novels never got married. Perhaps it was writing that she was enamored of. She started to write when she was young. She made the best of her time atbreakfast in writing from Miss. Sun and Love and Friendliness and gradually finished the first scripts and repeatedly revised. Sense and sensibility was finished in 1795, pride and prejudice in 1796 and Northanger Abbey in 1798.She was obscure at that and failed to find any press to publish her novels. In1809, Jane Austin’s family moved to Bath where she completed Mansfield Parkin 1812, Emma in 1814 and Persuasion in 1816. The works sense and sensibility and pride and prejudice during the early stage of writing came to be brought out since 1811 and Emma published in 1816 received a wide range of praise. Jane Austin became a famous writer afterwards. Much to our sorrow, when she had the opportunity to begin life anew, her health began deteriorating and died in July eight, 1817. Mansfield Park and Persuasion were published in the second year of her death. If Jane Austin lived a little longer, the reputation of her novels brought her could encourage her to produce more sterling works. In her times, with the advent of French Revolution and Industrialization, the development of capitalism hit a new hit. Conversely, she did not depict the great changes taking place in her times, but rather percepted and felt from the internal part of the bourgeoisie life, and on her close examination of the marriages, she tried to build ethic ties of honesty and harmony inside the changing class. Pride and prejudice is such kind of novel that is still popular nowadays. The literary criticism William Somerset Maugham even ranks it top ten of the most popular novels in the world. ①(牛庸懋蒋连杰,1986：123-124）B. The Social BackgroundNot only do we need to be well informed of a writer, more importantly, we should know the social background. Novels stem from life and go above life. To learn the social background can help us to understand better the genuine reason purposes of writers. Human entered into the period of paternity since Zeus created the huge scale of kinship. Through orthodox, order and various restrictions, paternal culture reduced women to inferior creature. Women's status was very low even in 18th and 19th centuries. Men snatched the control of economy, politics and ideology and they considered women as inferior animals and repulsed them overtly. ①(杨莉馨,从《傲慢与偏见》的结构谈简・奥斯丁的女性意识) The society with Jane Austin lived in witnessed a climax of the development4of capitalism, but the feudalism was still powerful, equality between men and women was still out of reach, especially in the distribution of inheritance, men enjoyed priority. The order of the division of the property went this: from male (a lineal consanguinity) to male (a collateralconsanguinity), and than to the female. ①(陈棠，理性的光芒---傲慢与偏见与简奥斯丁的婚姻道德观) So the ownership of the female property would see it destiny in the end. The novel Pride and Prejudice also mentioned: if one family did not have a male inheritor, their property would be only inherited by another male in the family; the only possibility for the female was to depend on this male inheritor. If the inheritor did not take them seriously, they would only wonder around the street. For this reason, finding a shelter for themselves without worrying about foot and clothes was of importance. It was in this type of social environment that brought up the truth that we have mentioned at the beginning of the passage. It was just for this piece of truth that provided the women hope and the object they were fighting for. At the same time, author advantaged of the marriage provided for the woman was that it could improve their economic and social status. After understanding the social background at time , definite the priority the female had in the property inherited and realized that the only way for the female as a social garniture was to get married , then it was easy to understand that Mrs. Bennet strongly desired to marry her daughters and the purpose of Elizabeth’s friend’s marriage as well as Mr. Darcy’s behavior to break up the affection between Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Bennet and Darcy’s aunt’s behavior t o opposite the affection between Darcy and Elizabeth. All of those became reasonable and logical.III. The Five Marriages in This NovelWhen knows the author and the society background, let’s look at the marriage in this novel. In Pride and Prejudice, there are five marriages. They are Bennets’ marriage, marriage of Jane and Bingley, marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy, marriage of Lydia and Wickham, marriage of Charlotte and Collins.We often say: “All happy families resemble one another; each unhappy family is its own way.” (托尔斯泰 2021:1) The persons are differences too. So every marriage has its own feature. When we begin to analyze these marriages, we can find out that the present social environment is not only factor that influences the marriages. As it is known to us, for the children, the family environment is more important than social environment. It maybe influences many aspects of children. But the main factor is the parents. Because parents are the first teachers for children, every word and behavior maybe affectstheir children. In this novel, we should analyze the Bennets’ marriage before we see other marriages.A. Bennet’s MarriageThere do not have the intuitional depiction about Bennet’s marriage. But what do children see and the dialogues between Bennets show us the unhappy marriage. Everyone knows that the foundation of the marriage is to understand each other. However Mr. Bennet is so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humor, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of the three and twenty years has been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. The husband and wife should have the equal levels which is another basic condition of the marriage. In this novel, Mrs. Bennet is a woman of mean5感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

The four marriages in the novel completely summarize people’s attitude towards the love and marriage at 18th century’s society situation. Through the discussion of the different marriages and love, the writer demonstrates her concept about love and marriage: love and marriage is closely associated with property and society, however, love and marriage cannot only be decided by the property and social status.

She rejects the marriage based on wealth and stresses the element of emotion in a marriage.Key Words：Love; marriage; property; social statusMarriage in Pride and PrejudiceⅠ.IntroductionThis novel takes young people’s marriage as the thread and it covers the inheritance of fortune, women’s social status, ethics and customs. Being the masterpiece of Jane Austen, it comes to the extensive favor of literary lovers and experts at the same time.This paper makes an analysis of four marriages in pride and prejudice and discusses the deep outlook for their love and marriage in the light of social background at the time.Ⅱ.Four Marriages in Pride and PrejudiceA. Collins and Charlotte’s MarriageCharlotte is Elizabet h·Bennetts’ neighbor, and her family’s situation was not very well . In addition, Charlotte is a mediocre intelligence girl, so she was still not married at the age of 26.Mrs. Bennett could not give birth to a boy; instead, she had given birth to five girls. Due to the special inherent law, the father's heritage cannot be inherited by his 5 daughters, but his nephew Collins could inherit. So, Mrs. Bennett put all her expectation on CollinsWith Mrs. Lindberg's help, Collins became a priest smoothly. Then he came to his uncle's house, and wanted to become Bennett's son-in-law. He thought that used this way he could make up his cousins in some degree. He stayed at his uncle’s house for a long time. When he knew the eldest daughter Jane has a boyfriend, he just turned his attention to the second daughter Elizabeth. She refuses him with a sharp tongue. But Collins quickly finds comfort from Charlotte who desires to get love froma male and believes marriage is the elegant way for a girl with some education, and then they get married as quickly as the lightning. A mediocre love, a dull marriage has been established effortlessly. Such marriage without love is too practical, so it is a kind of superficial marriage without happiness.B.Lydia and Wickham’s MarriageWickham is the son of the Darcy’s housekeeper. At the beginning,the master treated him very well but he was a man without any responsibility and was in debts. He also spoken ill of Darcy everywhere. His marriage is to open the source of wealth, for this purpose, he was prepared to use unscrupulous divisive tactics with Darcy's sister Georgiana to elope. Fortunately, Darcy stopped it in time. He once won Elizabeth's favor, but when Elizabeth left home to Charlotte home for a period of time, he was immediately ready to get married with another lady who was not beautiful but wealthy. But he failed. Later, Elizabeth's sister Lydia had a blind affection on him, and eloped with him. Finally,in Darcy’s funding he promised to marry Lydia.Their marriage was Bennett’s scandalC. Jane and Mr. Bingley’s MarriageBingley is a friend of Darcy. Bingley’s sister loves Darcy very much. She wants Bingley to get marr ied with Darcy’s sister Georgiana, because she wants to get love from Darcy by this way, which also reflects the selfishness the sister. The marriage of the able man- Bingley and the beautiful girl-Jane is ideal in most people’s eyes. Of course, the couple meets many setbacks, such as the misunderstanding of Darcy and Bingley's selfish sister. At last, the lovers get married as the misunderstanding between Elizabeth and Darcy has been solved.D. Darcy and Elizabeth’s MarriageAt the beginning, Elizabeth rejected Darcy’s pursuit, because she does not like him, even looks down upon him though Darcy loves her very much. In Elizabeth’s eyes, he is arrogant and unreasonable because he is rich and has high social status. Realizing that, Darcy begins to get rid of those bad habits quietly to crate her taste and get good impression and love of her. Because of Darcy’s perfect behavior and good education, Elizabeth gradually eliminates the bias on Darcy. Then they spontaneously fall in love. So when Darcy’s second s uitor is sent to Elizabeth, Elizabeth readily agree with, and they get married and have happy family lives.III. The Different Understanding about Marriage in Pride and Prejudice.A.The Marriage Based on Money or BenefitCharlotte knew that the marriage withou t property would eventually move toward disappointment and suffering. Even if the couple loves each other deeply at first, when Collins, known as a social climber, is rejected by Elizabeth, he immediately turns to fall in love with Miss Charlotte. Although Collins is an inborn fool, his love could not move the heart of a woman, charlotte accepts him, because her purpose is to get married. Almost all the girls born in a family without good education always regard marriage as the decent way, although marriage might not necessarily bring happiness to them. She manages to arrange one of the most reliable way by marriage, thus she would not be exposed to the cold temperatures and suffer hunger in the future. She now gets a storage room.Charlotte is like a roadman catching a plump fish—Collins. But if he doesn’t meet a setback from Elizabeth, and the encouragement of charlotte, I am afraid that he would not be so willing to propose marriage to Charlotte. The man like Bentley who has fairly numerable money need a beautiful wife, the poor man needs a wife with a huge wealth, like Wickham; it was lucky for Charlotte that she could gain the marriage with Collins although their marriage is not happy at all.B.The Marriage Based on Sense and SensibilitySense and sensibility is the footing stone of a happy marriage.Elizabeth and Darcy's marriage is the most successful and perfect ideal marriage in Pride and Prejudice. Their combination is really built based on love. The combination of them proves that sense and sensibility is necessary for a happy marriage. From 16th to 18th Century, while criteria of choosing spouse in English upper-and-middle class from 16th to18th century emphasized equal, but they did not deny love and affection are the prerequisite for marriage. Elizabeth did not have the same beauty with Jane, but she was clever and sensible, lively and lovely. She is rich in personality and connotation. Elizabeth knew that in society people like connect marriage with wealth and social status but she did not lose herself. Instead she chose to continue pursue her love bravely. It was her unusual style of conversation and noble sentiments attracted Darcy and then let Darcy full love on her. Love is unconditional, just when the thing person depends on people’s feeling. But marriage is different from love, marriage must have the material basis and economic basis. Marriage is inevitable for people's survival and development, and it must consider many factors. A happy marriage is the inevitable result of a emotional and rational balance, and the unity of substance and spirit.Ⅳ. ConclusionBy description and discussion of the four marriages in the novel, we can learn that middle-class women have different attitudes towards love and marriage. This novel also like a mirror, it shows the real society at that time, which also reflects the author's views on marriage: Marriage is often restricted by the character, property and family level factors. but she also stressed both men and women’s feeling is the cornerstone of an ideal marriage. It is wrong to get married for property, money and status. In addition, it was foolish not to consider these factors.Bibliography:[1]Sampson George, The Concise Cambridge History of English Literature, Cambridge University, 1988[2] 常耀信. 英国文学简史[M]. 南开大学出版社, 2000.[3] 简•奥斯汀，傲慢与偏见[M]，内蒙古：内蒙古人民出版社，2002[4] 李银河，女性权力的崛起[M]，北京：中国社会科学出版社，1997.。
傲慢与偏见婚姻观的英文论文
傲慢与偏见婚姻观main meaning: Marriage is the central topic in Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma: the plots of the novels and the actions of the characters revolve around marriage. For Austen's characters, marriage does not mean the act of ungoverned passion but a complex engagement between the marrying couple and society. Austen's characters are completely integrated into society and play out the stories within the social rules. Based on Socialist-feminism, this thesis examines social background in Austen's time and explores how social conditions influence females' psychological struggle and anxiety toward marriage. For Socialist-feminists, material factors shape women's marital consciousness in determinate ways. The discussions of male class and female status in the end of the eighteenth century are helpful for understanding why marriage is the central topic in Austen's novels. In a sense, marriage is regarded as a market place to exchange upward class mobility and financial support for Austen's characters. In order to achieve the goal of marriage, females are good at transforming themselves into commodities by displaying their appearances and accomplishments to appeal to male gazers. They realize that marriage can provide opportunities of class mobility and financial support; money and class are thus closely connected in their decision of marital partners. keywords: Plot overview ;.Analysis of the major character ;Themes ;Motifs ;Pride and Prejudice ;marriage The feeling of 《Pride And Prejudice》Then mantreat great event in one's life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself's marriage view: It is wrong to get married for the property, money and position; Get married and does not consider that above-mentioned factors are unwise too . So, she objects to getting married for money , objecting to regarding the marriage as a trifling matter .

Elizabeth watches conducting oneself in society and a series of behavior of reaching the west personally afterwards, See he change the proud conceited expressions of passing by, dispel misunderstanding and prejudice to him, Thus concluded the happy marriage with him. Many people simplyregard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century. Then man treat great event in one's life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself's marriage view: It is wrong to get married for the property, money and position; Get married and does not consider that above-mentioned factors are unwise too .

Elizabeth's misunderstanding and prejudice to him are a reason, but a main one is the arrogance that she dislikes him. Reach the thes of the west in fact status' the reflections of difference, exist this kind arrogant, Not having common thoughts and feelings between he and Elizabeth, the marriage that can not have lofty ideals The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the best classic book, according to a poll of Times readers. One in ten ranked the novel, published in 1813, as their favourite work to have been written more than 100 years ago. Jane Austen was born at Steventon on December 16, 1775, the youngest of seven children. She received her education—scanty enough, by modern standards—at home. She has a gift of telling a story in a way that has never been surpassed. She rules her places, times, characters, and marshals them with unerring precision. Her machinery is simple but complete; events group themselves so vividly and naturally in her mind that, in describing imaginary scenes, we seem not only to read them but to live them, to see the people coming and going—the gentlemen courteous and in top-boots,the ladies demure and piquant; we can almost hear them talking to one another. No retrospects; no abrupt flights, as in real life. In this paper, the characteristics of language using and writing styles in Pride and Prejudice were presented. People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economi c needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man. I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century. In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in oursociety. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything? Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the econo mic relationships both at her time and in modern time. In “pride and prejudice”, there is no twist polt as well heartquaking scene, reverse, as if the author only write it casually. But her lofty narrate technique is attracting many readers and essayists. The graceful dialog in the book plays an important role in the depiction of the characters.[参考资料] REFERENCE [1] Butler, Marilyn, Jane Austen and the War of Ideas, (Oxford: Clarendon ), 1975:216 [2] Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, eds.

本科生课程论文论文题目：Jane Austen’s Outlook toward Marriage inPride and Prejudice___________________ 课程名称：论文写作任课教师：专业：英语（师范）班级：学号：姓名：2013 年11月22日外国语学院制Jane Austen’s Outlook toward Marriage in Pride and PrejudiceAbstract: Jane Austen use ironic tone to narrate four different marriages in Pride and Prejudice, through which stated her view of marriage that a perfect marriage should include both money and love and expressed contempt toward money worship.Key Words: Jane Austen, outlook toward marriage, Pride and Prejudice, reflectionThesis Statement: Jane Austen’s view of marriage is that love is the most important element in marriage while money is essential.Ⅰ. Basic information of Jane Austen and Pride and PrejudiceJane Austen (16 December 1775 –18 July 1817) was one of the most influential English novelist in 18th century. She descried English country life with vivid word, which was regarded as foundation of early realism in literature. Using critical and satire style writing, Jane bit social illness in a humourous way. Though the theme and stories were similar, topic related to marriage would never become outdate. Maybe that’s the reason her novels rema ined popular all over the centuries. Pride and Prejudice was Jane’s magnum opus. In the novel, she narrated several marriages that were made for different reasons. While we laugh at the humourous dialogues, the fate of the characters’ arouses our thinking toward marriage. Marry for both of love and money is perfect. However, few of us are as fortune as Elizabeth. Jane’s outlook toward marriage was embodied in each line of the novel. Women’s consciousness of freedom and love was illuminated advanced.Ⅱ. Background of Pride and PrejudiceA. English society in early-19th-century1. ValuesIn the late 18th century and the beginning of 19th century, Britain had enlarged its colony in Australia, New Zealand and India. On account of the Independence of America, the new continent became an important market to export. In addition, after a series of wars, Britain won its maritime hegemony across the Atlantic. In the country, the Industrial Revolution brought out prosperity in fields of industry and commerce. “An empire on which the sun never sets” had risen.The new power which consisted of a bulk of the emerging bourgeoisie sprung up. Social wealth increased in a dramatic way during this time, which negatively influenced people’s value(Gao,Y.,.99). The unprecedented eager and purchase toward fortune made money worship become the main stream of society. People fantasized to be rich during one night. To marry higher social position is such a shortcut. In many cases, marriage turned to be a deal of money rather thana bond of love.2. Women’s statusDue to the boom of Industry Revolution, the demand of labor increased (Bai,S,L.,139). With more women took part in works, their position improved. After the enlightenment, humanism had been enjoying popular support. Besides, the new emerging bourgeoisie were open-minded. The advanced elements of them appealed rights and interests of women. Feminist movement began sprouting in big cities. Some women even attended political events (Lu,W.F.,124). However, because of the strict hierarchy, most women still suffered low social status, especially in the countryside (Wang,X,X.,132-33).B. Life in countryside1. Landlord class in politicsAt that time, England was in a transitional era of feudal economy and capitalist economy. On one hand, people in countryside produced not only for their own use but also for the supply of big cities. One the other hand, nobles from north industrial cities had a tradition of buying poverty in countryside to honor their status. Squire like Bennett, upstart like William Lucas, hereditary peerage like Darcy, all status got together in countryside, which made country a miniature of the whole society of the day. While nobles leaned for the land, squire admired higher status and privilege. By marriage, each took what he needed.2. Peace and quietThough affected by social currents, country life was in the trend of money worship, its quiet and peace were still (Gao,Y.,100). The splendid English idyllic scenery, pleasant climate, fertile soil, abundant resource attracted and comforted both figures in the novel and the readers. Under such beautiful nature, love story was more romantic.3. LimitationWomen were limited in their home and work place. They had few chances to learn about outside world. Though Jan e’s family was opened-minded enough to get her well educated, she almost never left her hometown all her life. Her value and view toward the world still ranged in the level of countryside women (Zhen,Y,H.,Li,X.,35).Ⅲ. Comparative study of Jane’s attitude toward the marriage of the three couplesA.Darcy and Elizabeth1. Frank and HonestDarcy and Elizabeth met at the countryside ball without any good impressive with each other. In some sense, an encounter without intention is romantic. The careless show that the comment of the other was totally real. Elizabeth’s mother was so fear her daughters would not married, that once heard there were gentlemen came by, she persuaded them to go to tempt them. However, Elizabeth was elegant and self-depended. She won’t follow her mother’s order. Though took part in serious of social occasions and met with rich nobles, she kept good manner all the time. As to Darcy, although a little asocial, he “always tells the absolute truth”. T hrough all procedure got to know each other, no matter hate or admire, they expressed themselves honestly. Their love was developed in a transparent way, which was a firm foundation of marriage.2. Fate and Effort“Pride and Prejudice” was the bond of love to Darcy and Elizabeth. Darcy’s mindless arrogant comment “She’s tolerable” stimulated Elizabeth’s prejudice, that was, Darcy was a pride noble, a “boasted”, “self-centered” man with little gentle and considerate. During the process of clearing up the misunderstanding, Elizabeth gradually found his “generous nature”, thought him as “the best man I have ever known”. Their love happened naturally as destiny that ties them together. An attempt marriage will never as happy as theirs.Besides the fate, people should labour for their love. Lovers met, fell in love, but it’s determine to be together finally bring out into marriage. Imagine Darcy got disappointment when Elizabeth condemned him of evils he had never done, or hesitated when relevant against his affection, or Elizabeth shrink with Lady Caroline’s humiliation, they definitely won’t get happy ending. Therefore, trust each other and overcome whatever difficulties are also cores that lead happy marriage.3. Money and LoveOur hero Darcy was a rich noble instead of poor minister or something. That means Jane herself knew the importance of material and regarded as another vital element of successful marriage. Imagine Darcy was poor, then who would be the one helped to pay Wickham’s bet? At that time, “false step in one sister must be injurious to the fortunes of all the others”. If no one paid off, the whole family would be look down, and then no one could marry well. With sufficient amount of poverty, Darcy could gave a hand when his love in need. Treasure was basics of living and happiness, which is truth we have to admit. It looked ridiculous that Mrs. Bennet was so eager to marry her girls. But as the fact in 19th century that girls had no rights to inherit, she should be worried of having no where to live in after her husband would pass by. Even in modern society, it’s no doubt money is important element supports long-term marriage.Money is necessity, but marriage without affection is like a tomb (Mei Z.X.,191). While others only paid attention in poverty, Jane proposed romance is essential in happy marriage. This was a big splash at that time. Her views were reflected on Elizabeth’s and words such as “I could not love a man was out of his wits”, and “Only the deepest love will introduce me into matrimony”. Unless took a man with love, she would get marry, though may “end an old maid”. As to Darcy, when he first show his love to Elizabeth, he realized “The relative situation of our families makes any alliance between us a reprehensible connec tion”, but because of his “a passionate admiration and regard”, he finally got marry for love.4. Self-esteemWoman should keep pride no matter how large the gap of statue and poverty between her and her husband. Considering Elizabeth’s condition, it w as not exaggerate that Darcy took her was like prince took Cinderella. However, Elizabeth showed little lowliness, even when blamed by Lady Caroline. “He is a gentleman; I am a gentleman’s daughter. So far we are equal.” Her grace and confident manner was the core quality Darcy was captivated. To deeper sense, Elizabeth’s behavior reflected Jane’s opinion that Men and women should have equal status. One should be judged by his upbringing, instead of fortune and background. Jane’s emphasize of human inner quality embodied early awaken of humanism (Zhen,Y.H, Li, X.,39).B. Jane and Bingley1. Proper AttitudeJane was a kind-hearted girl, “like an angel”，she was always thinking others’ good. That a precious quality to a woman and a wife. A beautiful girl with such quality was attractive to most men in the world. Bingley was one of them. Though Jane had a most soft heart, she was strong inside. Though seemed less of confidence, Jane held right value toward love during the relationship (Jonathan Gottschal,1117). Though Jane was not as sharp as Elizabeth, but she was also “should so much like to marry for love”. When Bingley was fascinated with her, she loved him back. When Bingley went back to London, she bravely went to the town to get her love back. Without meeting her love, she decided to let it go. When Bingley came back and propose, she generously forgave his fault. Not matter happiness or sadness, she could tolerant. Her way of dealing with difficulties helped her won happy marriage.Bingley was an outgoing and enthusiastic man. He could have fun in any place with any people even at the simple and cruel ball in country. That showed his tolerant, which was the same with Jane. What’s more, he didn’t think a lot of money. When he met Jane, he was deeply imp ressed by her beauty and good quality and never gave her cold-shoulder because the large gap betweenpoverty and statue.The only flawless was Bingley’s hesitate when love got into trouble. Compared with Darcy, Bingley was more vacillate under surrounding disapproval. However, under such social environment, his frailness was understandable.2. Surrounding influenceIn Jane and Bingley’s case, we can see sometimes relevant and friends may influent a lot in marriage. It was Darcy and Bingley’s sisters per suaded Bingley to give up and leave, which almost led to breaking up. It was also Darcy’s encouragement made him went back and proposed, which finally ended with happiness. So, when our friends fell in love, we should encourage them and give them courage. Besides, a wrong advice may lead others’ life-long regret, which demand us think twice before interfere a relationship.C. Collins and CharlotteCollins and Charlotte’s marriage was seemed in a rush, but they were doomed to be together because they got what each other needed (Mei Z.X.,192). With little feelings, their marriage was “perfect” in their own eyes. While Collins needed a young wife, Charlotte needed a rich husband. When Elizabeth visited Charlotte’s house after she got married, she felt sorry wh en she heard Collins and Charlotte hardly spoke all day. But Charlotte said, “I found myself quite content with my situation”. In marriage is like drinking water, whether it is cold or warm is known by oneself. Charlotte always knew what she really wanted: “I’m not romantic…I ask only a comfortable home”. In her value, she had married a man whose poverty and statue good enough to be envied (Niu,B.H.,31). However, a marriage without love was hardly to maintain.Collins and Charlotte’s marriage was typical in that time. Collins’ ridiculers thought that propose of a “noble” man could manage to receive by any low statue and poor woman was common. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s thought that a happy marriage was equal to find condition was also. Charlotte tempted Collins right after his proposal was declined, and soon received proposal from Collins. Their marriage was decided so easy and rash. Once “agreement” was reached, it was done. Their marriage was ugly exchange. The sympathy Jane showed to Charlotte represented her attitude toward woman in that time. With social system that woman could not hesitate, woman had to choose richer man for better situation in future, which killed their desire to love.D. Lydia and WickhamLydia and Wickham’s marriage was a total swindl e of money (Dennis W. Allen, 435). Lydia was so young and dizzy that hadn’t form mature value. Under Mrs. Bennet’s education of “good marriage”, she entered social intercourse with the age of fifteen. Knowing nothing of man and the world, she was tricked b y Wickham’s hypocrisy and good-looking outside. Simple-minded would be used. Therefore, in order to make wise judge on future husband, women should develop her inner cultivation and enlarge their views for there might be another faces below masks. For ladies, when pick up husbands, one should judge from outside to inside.Lydia didn’t realize she harm the honor of the family all along for her immature and selfish. Love is not everything in life(Jonathan Gottschal,1118). If marriage brings hurt to the whole family, it is definitely not successful. Through Lydia and Wickham were married under Darcy’s “help”, they won’t happy because their casual attitude.Ⅳ. Writing techniquesA. Humors1. Mr. and Mrs. BennetJane expressed her views of marriage not only in arrating stories of the four couples, but also in wring style. Her sense of humor was one of the major pleasures when reading her works. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet was a pair of love-hate relationship. When Mrs. Bennet advised Mr. Bennet to visit Bingley, he scored, “So that is he design in setting here to marry one of our daughters?” When the wife complained his less of considerate: “You have no compassion on my poor nerves!”, he responded: “You mistake me. I have a high respect for your nerves. They’ve been my old friends for 20 years”. The funny dialogues between the old couple compared the two adverse attitudes to marriage. Mrs. Bennet’s ridiculous manner of tempting a wealth son-in-low was emphasized in this way.2. Elizabeth and DarcyElizabeth inherited her father’s humor naturally. Her humor was revealed especially when she marked Mr. Darcy: “I wonder if he’d be as handsome if he weren’t so rich.”, “Will he be in humour to consider young ladies who are slighted by other men? …Never!” The dislike she showed toward Darcy was widely divergent of her admire afterwards. “Indeed, he has no improper pride. He is perfectly amiable. ”, “If you only knew his generous nature.”, “He is truly the best man I have ever known”. The huge convert was assuming. It reminded us that in many cases, romance begin with dislike even hatred.B. SatireIn Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austin used ironic in her writing, With this kind of rhetoric, Jane excellently created figures’ characters, expressed their motion and also embodied her humor as a writer. “Though the sarcastic sometimes revealed her limitation as a countryside woman, her writing style has still regarded as one of the representatives of ironic” (Fu,R.,168-70).“In ironic, or other relative rhetoric such as satire, Jane showed her views toward society”(Gemmill,K.,1120). When Darcy encountered Elizabeth for the first time at the party, his attitude was i ndifferent, even cold. Elizabeth was the same. Darcy’s comment about her caused her disgust. She refused to talk with him during dance. However, after went though misunderstanding and struggle, they were strongly attracted by each other. The twist in spot setting itself was an ironic. Another example was set in the scene of Collin’s proposal to Elizabeth. When made the request for the first time, Elizabeth declined gently. Collin was so unwise that he listed his belongings, tried to change her mind. Without self-knowledge and sense of shame, he proposed again. Unsurprisingly, he was rejected twice in a minute. Different from the sincere and earnest that showed before, he was too angry to keep his manner. His absurd self-conceit，false and value of money worship was vividly described in Jane’s ironically style of writing (Fu,R.,170).Jane’s writing of ironic contributes not only in literary, but also in her independent thoughts. As a woman writer, Jane’s advanced outlook toward ma rriage and society was well delivered by the disdain tone(Wootton,S,42).C. Others1. ExaggerationExaggeration was also used by Jane to portray characters. For incidence, Collins “continued apologize for a quarter of an hour." Mrs. Bennet’s exiting whe n rich man came by was another example. The ugly vanity was enlarged for readers to identify. She took advantage of her imagination to make novel funnier. “Once readers catch her intention, they will taste the homour and smile knowingly” (Fu,R,170).2. MetaphorExpect for exaggeration, Jane used metaphor to strength ironic. She compared Mr. Bennett to philosopher, as he could only be gain happiness from the books, instead of his marriage. This kind of expression can also unify the whole novel.3. ReiterationReiteration was appeared in the novel, too. For example, every time when described Mrs. Bennet’s worry of marrying her five daughters, Jane referred her “poor nerves”. We can imaan old lady consisted to sob and complain: “Oh, my poor nerves”. What’s more, “5000 a year” and “10000 a year” were referred again and again to emphasize Mrs. Bennet’s favor of money. It was not only criticism of Mrs. Bennet, but her type of people who put poverty in the first place. Another example was Mr. Collins told everyone his seeing of the luxurious fitment when visited Lady Caroline’s house. Jane’s description about his of silly endless talk about worship toward wealth and high status showed his stupid shallow mind.Ⅴ. Jane appeal that money is important in marriage but it is not the most important thing.A. Conclusion of Jane’s view of marriageJane herself was most like Elizabeth, from whom we can analyze her view of marriage (Zhou,N.,16). Elizabeth’s self-esteem, fine manner, pursue of romantic was characters Jane intended to advocate. In Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage we can see in Jane’s opinion, a perfect marriage should contain both fine material and love. “Though Jane expressed her distain of money aimed marri age, she had to admit comfortable condition was also a vital element” (Liu,T.T.,2-7).B. Significance in Current SocietyJane’s sagacity words were forever classical, especially for females. For the question she posed has been puzzling for centuries. Until today marry for money or for love is still an issue. No matter how the society develops, total equality of man and wom an hasn’t achieved still. Marriage is a long-life choice that may totally change one’s life. Though time changes, for common people, happy marriages are similar. Most people can find advice for marriage in Pride and prejudice. That is the reason it has been publishing again and again.Not everyone in so lucky like Elizabeth, even Jane herself. It is said that, in a research, the probability that one can find his perfect mate (that includes family condition, character, and geography and so on) is 1/6000, which means most of us can’t really have one. Some prefer to be single and ended up with alone all life. But it is not bad to learn from Charlotte. One should always know what he really wants. Once choice has been made, he should thankful for what he has owned and accept what he has given up. After all happiness is satisfaction from heart, to own it or not depended on one’s own feeling.Words Cited:1. Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, Yanbian People's Publishing House, Ji Lin, 20102.

Her work focuses on women's marriage and squire family life. She used a woman's meticulous observation and lively and humorous write the text world around her small world truly.Austen never married until she died. Since living in the rural town, come into contact with small and medium landowners, priests and other people and their quiet, comfortable living environment, and therefore her works without major social conflicts. Her works, relaxed style of humorous and full of comic conflict, are popular among readers. From the 18th century to early 19th century, the boring "sentimental novel" and "Gothic novel" is full of the British literary scene. But Austen's novel, unconventional yet to be demonstrated at the impact of industrial revolution, showed the middle class in capitalism of English daily life and rural scenery. Her works often ridiculed the comic scenes of people's stupid, selfish, snobbish, and ridiculously blind self-confidence contemptible weakness. Generally speaking, Jane Austen was a writer of the 18th-century, though she lived mainly in the nineteenth century. She holds theideals of the landlord class in politics, religion and moral principles; and her works show clearly her firm belief in the predominance of reason over passion, the sense of responsibility, good manners and clear-sighted judgment over the Romantic tendencies of emotion and individuality. As a realistic writer, she considers it her duty to express in her works a discriminated and serious criticism of life, and to expose the follies and illusions of mankind. She shows contemptuous feelings towards snobbery, stupidity, worldliness and vulgarity through subtle satire and irony. And in style, she is a neoclassicism advocator, upholding those traditional ideas of order, reason, proportion and gracefulness in novel writing.As a novelist Jane Austen writes within a very narrow sphere. The subject matter, the character range, the social setting, and plots are all restricted to the provincial life of the late 18th-century England, concerning three or four landed gentry families with their daily routine life: relationships with members of their own family and with their friends, dancing parties, tea parties, picnics, and gossips. In her novels, there is little reflection on the events that stirred the whole Europe at the time, no thrilling adventures, no abstract ideas, no romantic reveries, and even no death scenes. Everything in her novel results in an observation of a quiet, uneventful and contented life of the English country. Here lie her very weak points as well as strong points. Such narrowness apparently comes from the writer's own limited experience and knowledge; yet, by writing within the small area of her experience and by never stepping beyond the limits of her knowledge, it allows the writer to have a close study of characters and a detailed description of recurring situation so that she can portray them with absolute accuracy and sureness. It is no exaggeration to stay that within her limited sphere, Jane Austen is unequaled.2.2 SynopsisPride and Prejudice, originally drafted as "First Impressions" in 1796, is the most delightful of Jane Austen's works. First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has consistently been Jane Austen's most popular novel. It portrays life in the genteel rural society of the day, and tells of the initial misunderstandings and later mutual enlightenment between Elizabeth Bennet (whose liveliness and quick wit have often attracted readers) and the haughty Darcy. The title Pride and Prejudice refers (among other things) to the ways in which Elizabeth and Darcy first view each other. The original version of the novel was written in 1796-1797 under the title First Impressions, and was probably in the form of an exchange of letters.According to Jane Austen, our first impressions are usually wrong, as is shown here by those of Elizabeth. In the process of judging others, Elizabeth finds out something about herself: her blindness, partiality, prejudice and absurdity. In time she discovers her own shortcomings. On the other hand, Darcy too learns about other people and himself. In the end false pride is humbled and prejudice dissolved. In addition, there are 4 more marriages include Jane and Billy,Charlotte and Collins, Lydia and Wycombe and the old Bennett.3.Views about marriage in the novel3.1 Comparison of two of the marriagesThrough comparing Elizabeth's marriage and Lydia's marriage to search the differences about freedom and equality. On the analysis of the two couples’marriages in Pride and Prejudice we find that Elizabeth and Darcy are much happier than Lydia and Wickham. Elizabeth and Darcy not only are independent in thought, personality and economy, but also are equal in their attitudes. All of these determine that they will have a happy marriage. In the estate society, their statuses are not equal but they can smash the bonds of tradition and can treat each other equally. Elizabeth desires independence and equality strongly. It is a challenge to Darcy. After Elizabeth rejects Darcy’s proud proposal. Darcy receives her challenge and the y unite happily. However Lydia and Wickham are creations of capitalist society. They are selfish and like seeking fame and wealth. Their marriage doesn’t have the foundation of independence and equality. Lydia searches for moment enjoyment and Wickham hope s to gain fortune by marriage. They marry with Darcy’s help,but live a dependent life, which needs the help of others. Thus the marriage with the love of independence and equality is happy,which it is an eternal theme from time immemorial. It will brighten all the couples’way, leading them to happiness.3.1.1 Two marriagesElizabeth was the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice, might have many brilliant and many thoughts. She had some qualities that were quite different from other ordinary girls. She hoped that marriage could be based on love. Finally she married Darcy, won both love and money. Elizabeth refused two proposals from Mr. Collins and Mr. Darcy, even when she knew she would lose her father's heritage, and lose the richest man she had ever seen before. Maybe it was all because Elizabeth was a woman who wanted to pursuit happiness but not money. That was the reflection of Austen's mind. After Elizabeth knew the truth, confesses their engagement to her elder sister, Jane asked her how long she had loved him? She replied, I must date it from my first seeing his Beautiful grounds at Pemberly. Though she was joking, we all know that’s not because she attracted by it. That means Mr. Darcy couldn't win her heart unless he changed his proud manners.Lydia, the youngest daughter of the Bennet family, was uncontrolled in her love affair and marriage. She eloped with the Wickham, who originally wanted to make his fortune by marrying a rich woman. With the help of Darcy, they got married at last.Their marriage was obviously a disgraceful and unhappy one. Jane Austen certainly did not appreciate their marriage.3.1.2 Differences of the show of the independenceElizabeth and Darcy are independent not only in thought and economy. But Lydia and Wickham lack of independent factors which the above mentions.3.1.2.1 In ThoughtElizabeth and Darcy are independent in thought while Lydia and Wickham are not. Elizabeth possesses the quality of strong reason and keen observation. She has her own attitude towards marriage. She knows the happy marriage should be based on true love and should choose mate carefully and seriously. She ignores money and refuses Collins’proposal.Collin is a priest .His manner is serious and his behaviors are very formal, and he is follower of the rich and powerful, He is swell with pride when he is recommended to Lady Catherine and then has a good house, a large enough income .He thinks it will surely succeed in proposing to Elizabeth. But Elizabeth doesn’t like him and says to him, ―It is impossib le for me to do otherwise than refuse your proposal.‖ (Austen 78) Elizabeth disagrees with her best friend Charlotte to marry Collins for only seeking for material enjoyment.She feels that―Charlotte the wife of Mr.Collins, was a most humiliating picture!—And to the pang of a friend disgracing herself and sunk in her esteem, was added the distressing conviction that it was impossible for that friend to be tolerably happy in the lot she had chosen.‖(Austen 90) Elizabeth doesn’t only take a fancy to the appear ance of a man .She admires handsome Wickham first .In the process of her observing and understanding, she finds out that Wickham has only empty appearance and fawns on rich ladies, Wickham’s attention to her is over from then on.She also disagrees with Lydia to seek for moment enjoyment .After Lydia and Wickham elope, She says to Lydia, ―I don’t especially like your way of getting husbands.‖(Austen 223) Elizabeth’s independence in thought is also reflected in rejecting Darcy’s proud offer.She is an independ ent woman and can’t endure Darcy’s pride and looking down upon her family.She thinks that both sides should love each other deeply.This is her belief and never shakes .Darcy is independent in thought, too. He has money and rank .He should marry a girl who has the same condition. This is what Miss Bingley and his aunt Lady Catherine think.Miss Bingley tries the best way to win Darcy, but he still dislikes her and doesn't marry dy Catherine is a noble woman, and she has a very large fortune .She deems that her daughter suits him very much, Darcy and her daughter will unite the two estates by marriage.But Darcy is not interested inher.He loves Elizabeth , her charmful appearance, intelligent and character. His admiration to Elizabeth is prevented so much. When Elizabeth goes to Mr Bringley’s on foot and looks after her sister Jane .Bringley’s sisters make fun of her and her family at the back. .Even Miss Bingley says to Darcy, ―I am afraid… that this adventure has rather lessened your admiration for her f ine eyes.‖ (Austen 34 )But Darcy replies ―Not at all,…They are brightened by the exercise,‖(Austen 34)At Pemberley when Miss Bingley notices that Darcy admires Elizabeth, she merely intends to confuse Elizabeth and make her show some feeling that may harm her in Darcy’s opinion .But it affects nothing to Darcy. She continues to criticize Elizabeth’s appearance, behavior and dress. Darcy can no longer controls himself and says. ―For many months I have considered her as one of the best looking women in my acq uaintance.‖(Austen 191).His love to Elizabeth is prevented by his sense of family status too.He has tormented but with the effect of Elizabeth he triumphs over himself and loves Elizabeth more.On the other hand,Lydia lacks the independence. Lydia is Eliza beth’s youngest sister.She is empty-headed and idle.She always manages to learn some news and searches the officers .She doesn’t possess the quality of independence and is easily tricked by a deceitful man .She only needs encouragement to form an attachment to anybody. Sometimes one officer has been her favorite and sometimes another. It is the best proof that she runs away with Wickham..However Wickham doesn't love her really and has no intention to marry her. His enthusiasm is not stable and his thought is lack of independence. Sometimes he loves good-looking Elizabeth. Sometimes he seeks for rich Miss Marry King and lures Darcy’s sister to flight with him for revenging himself on Darcy. At last he runs away with Lydia because he wants to escape from his debts and leave Brighton with a woman companion. Lydia and Wickham aren't independent in thought and easily drift with their own desire and tides.3.1.2.2 In EconomyElizabeth and Darcy are independent in economy while Lydia and Wickham need the help of others .Elizabeth shares a part of five thousand pounds among her parents’inheritance.Darcy has rich family property and ten thousand a year . After they marry, they can support the family more enough and frequently help Mr.and Mrs.Wickham. Mention Lydia and Wickham,when they marry, Lydia’s property is nearly as same as Elizabeth, as her father says― one hundred a year during my life and fifty after I am gone.‖ (Austen 222)Wickham is in debt. It is Darcy who helps himpay off the debts and obtains a good position in the army, then gives a thousand pounds to Lydia.When their marriage starts, they aren't independent in economy.Even after they marry, they still ask for help. Elizabeth frequently sends some relief from her own private money ,and for Elizabeth’s sake,Darcy helped Wickham. They always stay at Bingley’s family so long that even Bingley’s good temper fails him. It’s not praiseworthy to live such a dependent life.3.1.3 Differences of the show of the equalityElizabeth and Darcy treat each other equally after marriage, while Lydia and Wickham don’t . Of course Elizabeth and Darcy unite with the foundation of equality. After their marriage they mutually respect and love each.Even Gorgiana , Darcy’s sister often listens with astonishment at Elizabet h’s lively, joking way of talking to her brother. Darcy receives Elizabeth’s advice and offers to end the quarrel between Lady Catherine and him.Darcy respects Elizabeth’s relations too. He still helps Wickham whom he doesn’t like only because he is the husband of Elizabeth’s sister.But Lydia stubbornly sticks to her own view to love Wickham. Let’s look at how the novel describes, ― Wickham’s affection for Lydia was just what Elizabeth had expected it to be ---not equal to Lydia’s for him.‖(Austen 234) She guesses that their running away together has been caused by the strength of her love rather than by his.But ―Lydia was extremely fond of him .He was her dear Wickham on every occasion No one was to be compared with him . He did everything best in the world .‖ (Austen 234)In Lydia’s eyes love is all her pursuit except all the others including equality . In Wickham’s eyes Lydia’s value is not herself but the comfortable life that it depends on Lydia’s brother–in-low. Their marriage isn’t based on equality fro m the first to the end.3.2 Summary of the author's views on marriageSumming up the above points of view, the author Jane Austen admitted that most women eventually acknowledged , the only purpose in life is to find the ideal man. It is why that her work always has a value, which is the eternal human nature. Whether it is the 19th century rural England or the 21st century Manhattan, or whether she is a country girls or a female doctor, love and marriage is a lifelong pursuit of women. Jane did not deny the value of money, the ideal leading man who is alway rich man or a man has stable income, even a priest or a small rural landowners in her work. She deeply knew the value and role of money. She is not a negation of the romantic material values, she is a realist unsatisfactory. What She asked is a perfect combination of money and love.4. ConclusionWhile I analyzed all the above mentioned, I will never forget Elizabeth’s character and Darcy’s sincere love. In the estate soci ety, their statuses are not equal but they can smash the bonds of tradition and can treat equally each other as an independent person. Finally they reach the bank of ideal and live happy life .I have to say that with independence and equality , people like Elizabeth and Darcy will get happiness in marriage . I am in favor of Jane Austen's views about marriage which is the perfect combination of love and money. But I don't agree she said that the only purpose of women in life is to find the ideal man. I think every woman should have her own ideas that to realize the value of being a independent person and pursing the freedom of heart. As we know, many women don't have an ideal husband, but we can't say that they are unsuccessful. Why the business is most important to man, but the family is the core for woman? In my opinion, woman shouldn't rely on man, the most powerful energy is ourselves. So, independence and equality are rather important to everyone. And I hope every couple can take it serious and has a happy marriage.Bibliography[1]Jane,Austen.Pride and Prejudice. Penguin Group:Cox&Wyman Ltd, 1994.[2]张伯香. 英美文学选读.外语教学与研究出版社，1999[3]邱爽.

奥斯汀在傲慢与偏见中的婚姻观
ABSTRACT“I t is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” Almost two centuries later, the deep impression on readers left by the opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice has not decreased because of their changing literary taste. As the author of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen was one of the famous realistic writers in English literature in the nineteenth century. Pride and Prejudice is Austen’s representative work. During the forty-two years of her short life and a merry one, Austen wrote six full-length works: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion.There were no earthshaking events, no dreadful disasters, no sharp contradictions and no romantic legends in Austen’s novels. Time and space were small in her novels. She wrote how a marriageable woman could find a satisfactory husband. She described many kinds of love and marriage of different women. She expressed her own original views of marriage in her works.In Pride and Prejudice Austen wrote four marriage types: ideal Elizabeth and Darcy, realizable Charlotte and Collins, felicitous Jane and Bingley, unhappy Lydia and Wickham. She pointed out emphatically economic consideration is the bonds of wedlock and love. She said marriage is not determined by property and family status; it is unwise to marry without money, but it is wrong to marry for money; the marriage settled by love is happy and ideal.Based on Marxist social and economic theory, the thesis explicated that Austen’s view of marriage was progressive, advocated by her focus on the equality between men and women. She emphasized marriage should be of equal importance both by love and by economic consideration but love plays the guiding role. She revealed the connotation of marriage. She mercilessly criticized the patriarchy and the view of marriage of her time. Her exposure is of great realistic significance to the society today.Key words: Pride and Prejudice, view of marriage, property and family status, patriarchy, realistic significance摘要“凡是有财产的单身汉，必定需要娶位太太，这已经成为了一条举世公认的真理。

In this way, the couple can gettogether properly and legally. For the purpose of love withoutany other substances, people marry happily. However, I canrealize different views of marriage among the young people inthe book of Pride and Prejudice and by the way of reading it,I have deeper thought about marriage.key words: marriage social status wealth family background1.IntroductionPride and Prejudice, taking the daily life for the material, reflects the real English countryside life and ways of the world in the condition of conservation and obstruction. By using the technique of writing of satire and humor, the work tells different kinds of personalities and life attitudes. The writer shows different views of marriage in the book. For them, marriage is sometimes equal to a business in which people can get what they are eager for except love. It seems that marriage cannot bring true love but materials. This book arouses my curiosity and lets us wonder which form of marriage can make happiness and suit ourselves.Both in the west and in China, Pride and Prejudice has got great attention from the critics and many critics have commented it from sociohistorical aspect. Although some scholars analyzed Austen’s views on marriage, the marriage should aim to make a deep analysis in order that we can completely understand the original views on marriage and add something new into the literary criticism of the great work of Jane Austen.The young people have distinct attitudes towards marriage and choose their loved ones differently. People marry for different purposes, some for wealth, some for appearance, some for desire and some only for love. Exactly their attitudes towards a man to marry reflect their view of life. Throughwhat kind of marriage they choose, we can judge the personalities on the people.There are four couples getting married leaving me a great expression in this book but neither of them have same opinion for marriage. From their choice, we can easily see marriage means what for them. Love without romantics loses its own beautiful color as well.2.Historical BackgroundThe story happened at the end of 18th century and the start of 19th century and was called First Impression at beginning. At that time, the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century made women’s liberation possible, which provided a good condition for Jane Austen to create the book. There is no possibility for female to fight for their freedom and equality before and this was a rare chance for them to voice in the public.Besides, Economic Independence heightening made people start to care about humanity rather than the problem of food and clothing. More and more women have the right to accept education and realized that there is many unequal phenomenon in the society. The educated female began to turn to the liberation of women.Traditional beliefs of social and family roles of men and women began to change. As more female were educated and able to work outside, the roles of husband and wife may change. Female gradually became independent and could earn money as male, which made them proud and at same time, they wonder why female should accept unequal treatment now that they were as excellent as male.The pioneering women novelists such as Jane Austen broke out to a private world and entered into a public world. Female began to appear in the public and work on social contact just like male do. This made female more independent and realized that there is no need for female to attach to their husband. They can make a good living without the help of rich men and do the work by themselves.Therefore, more and more female came out to voice for their rights of freedom, equality and liberation. The appearance of Pride and Prejudice is exactly suitable for the society then and got a real hit when it was published. It really attracted people’s eyes and arouse them to rethink about humanity.3.1T he marriage of Jane and BingleyJane，the eldest daughter of , is beautiful, good-natured and elegant, which seems to be a great attraction for Bingley. Meanwhile, Bingley is in possession of a great fortune as well as handsome appearance and modest attitude. The combination of the two young people seems to be braw. However, their love is pure as we think? The answer is not of course. Although they fall in love with each other and get together, their marriage is set up on the appearance. There is no doubt that Jane is charming by her posture and behaviors, which draws the eyes of . After all, Jane lives in a family of developing a lady and her mother requires her to behave properly. His nice temperament sends forth from her body. Darcy, as a gentleman, has grown up in a wealthy family and become a young spark.Both of them possess so many common virtues: They are good-tempered and modest. Besides, their love both depends on appearance in some way. As long as they get older and the appearance changes a lot, the love can be everlasting? Everyone has a get-older day and when the day comes, the couple might be tired to each other and marriage may fall apart. They both have some weakness: Jane lacks strength and self-confidence and Bingley does not have his strong and determined disposition at all. It seems that the two youngers are similar to each other themselves. But it is lucky that Jane and Bingley can always receive considerate and beneficial advice from Elizabeth and Darcy. Thanks to Elizabeth’s kindness, Jane can pull through difficulties when Bingley left.Fortunately Bingley eventually came back and met with Jane, they two were together again.Nowadays our society has a phenomenon that young people are likely to choose those who look nice for their partners, which can be called “see the face of social”. There is no doubt that good look can feast others’ eyes. However, the true heart makes relationship stronger and deeper no matter how time flies. Just like a saying goes“A long journey proves the stamina of a horse and the passage of time tells the true from the false”! One’s heart can not be changed easily while their appearance changes in a short time as long as time goes.Therefore, you are supposed to judge whether your personality is suitable to the other if you need to have a partner in your life. Don’t care about their appearance because the heart will not change. Interesting souls meet with each other when their love comes and beautiful looks end up when timeflies. Like an old Chinese saying goes “appearance is easy to old while heart is hard to change”.The combination of Jane and Bingley is just like an enjoyable appreciation on their faces and falling love at first sight. We can’t say that this marriage is not timeless but this “love”based on appearance is terrifying. The result between Jane and Bingley remains a mystery to the reader and makes us wonder. Whether this marriage is suitable for young people at present in this society? Whether their marriage results from impulsion and sightless worship? Whether they would accompany a lifetime?Can the love based on appearance be long? This is a question deserved to be considered in current society.3.2T he marriage of Lydia and WickhamLydia is a rude girl with full of impulsion and passion. To be honest, she is frivolous to things and eager for social contact when she is a little girl of young age. She is likely to have contact with military officers in Meriton and proud of it. It is said that she is easily to be together with anyone if she is tantalized.Therefore her love to Wickham is just like a business of flesh and sexual passion. Her love comes with hotness like a windstorm. When she firstly meets with Wickham, she is attracted by his handsome appearance.However, Wickham is a man without good morality and he is so lexual and mean. This kind of man can be said “Satyr prodigal”and “speciosity”.Wickham has wanted to get together with and finally he failed. Therefore he turns to Lydia, the babyish and foolish girl. Their elopement is reallya shame for the family of . Luckily they get the help of and can liveby their own due to his kindness of a great fortune.The combination of Lydia and Wickham is just a marriage with lust and out of exploration to heterosexual feeling. Their elopement can be regarded as an immature behavior and it is amusing for all of us in their marriage. Their marriage is set up without any based on love, which can be said unpractical.The same point between the couple is that both of them like to squander without any control. Never considering the life of future, the postnuptial marriage is bound to be tough. Wickham gets what he wants—wealth under the help of Darcy and Lydia gets what she wants as well—satisfaction of erotic feeling from Wickham. The marriage is “best” for both of them.There are many other couples like them. The couples are just like kids themselves and they are not able to bring up a baby by themselves. It isa behavior without any responsibility and obligation. You can see manypeople get married at a young age and soon they divorce unfortunately, which makes the old generation feel curious and shocked. I wonder why it happens commonly. As a matter of fact, the young people are so young that they can not afford to set up a sense of responsibility to others, such as their parents, loved ones, workmates and strangers. Grown up in a white-headed family, the young generation tends to be self-centered and selfish, which is no benefit for them to live in a society of helping each other when they are adults.When you are likely to marry to someone, please consider what duties you shall have to do and what can you give to the other and don not ask for getting all the time. This is important in a marriage to balance. (Li Dapeng, 2015: 2)3.3T he marriage of Charlotte and CollinsCharlotte is a mundane woman without wealth or charming appearance. However she is full of “wisdom” and she thinks the marriage is happy or not depends on an opportunity you seize. Out of realistic consideration, she regards the marriage as a deal. When she meets with Collins at first, she does not like him at all. Charlotte praises that Collins is handsome and wise while she knows he is foolish in her eyes. Collins will come into a fortune of and he is a wealthy man soon, which makes Charlotte want to marry him.As a matter of fact, family background and social class are matched for marriage nowadays. Someone is forced to marry to a rich man but she does not love him at all. Some couples are broken up due to one’s being as poor as a church mouse. Can this kind of marriage make couples happy? I’m afraid not.For some poor girls, they are used to making a short and uptight living and eager to escape from present situation. Therefore, happiness means having a great deal of money and they would like to marry a rich man rather than a loved one instead. In the words of people now, “bread” and “love” are difficult to choose. In this society with full of materials and people are more likely to pay attention to exterior conditions. They are not certain whether they would get happiness or comfortability in the marriage but thisis the only chance for them to get away from poverty, which arouses others’sympathy and resonance.We can not easily say the girls’ choices are true or false, we can not accuse them of being greedy and vain. Because there is no qualification for us to judge others’behaviors and life if we have not experienced what they had experienced.Charlotte can get a sense of safety by getting the source of the economic and this sense is from Collins. Therefore, no matter how foolish and smarmy he is, she still thinks marriage is home to return. At the same time, Collins can get a warm family from her. The combination between the two is a best way for them.3.4T he marriage of Elizabeth and DarcyElizabeth and seemed to have some contradiction. Darcy was a young man with pride due to his glorious family background. With different growing environment, Elizabeth had prejudice to Darcy and said words with cold if necessary. However, exactly her extraordinariness, Darcy treated her with different eyes and gradually loved this girl. A Netherfield ball began. Elizabeth and Darcy talked about Wickham and she blamed that Wickham lost friendship of him. The two became embarrassed.Later, Bingley left the town and Jane was inconsolable. Elizabeth thought that was all Darcy’s false because of his instigation. At the same time, Darcy unburdened himself to Elizabeth and was refused by her.Luckily with the perseverance of Darcy and misunderstanding being untied, Elizabeth was moved by his courage and kindness to others. Therefore she loved the man deeply just like the man liked her.The love between Elizabeth and Darcy is so romantic and moving for all of readers, which is exactly our desire for love and marriage. The marriage of them seems to be unpractical but in fact is suitable for their personality. Elizabeth has a deep realization of marriage and love and therefore she refuses the proposal of Collins because she knows there is no affection base between her and Collins. Her view of marriage is based on love, only love. There is no need to treat marriage as a business in our lives and the view of Elizabeth is right for love choosing. All the things Elizabeth gets is deserved due to her pureness. Although she is not trapped in her mother’s desire of marrying a rich man, eventually she marries to a rich man who loves her deeply as well, which moved me a lot.Luckily Elizabeth finds a true love and gets a soulmate forever and in her marriage there is pure love!4.Views of the AuthorJane Austen is a progressive female writer and her original views on marriage expressed in her masterpiece Pride and Prejudice obviously have progressiveness. She saw that women had to obey men and depended on them to gain comfortable living conditions, which made her think it is unequal at all. In this sense, marriage was merely a decent way of survival for women. Women had few expectations of emotional feelings in theirmarriages.However she had a strong belief that marriage determined by economic and social status can not bring real happiness for women and only love can awake women’s life and happiness. In her work, she inspired female to pursue their love and keep energetic to marriage and do not give in to unequal family background just like Elizabeth who definitely got her love without any doubt and Elizabeth achieved her dream of marrying a man she really loved, which was exactly Jane Austen’s dream as well.5.ConclusionThere is a realistic problem in the novel what is different family background. No matter how time goes, people are more likely to match marriage with identification, social class, wealth or other corporeal things. In their eyes, they regard marriage as a business and are used to matching the marriage to other materials.As a matter of fact, marriage should be the loved ones get together forever in spite of other factors. No matter how rich, handsome, charming the other is, you shall stick to your own loved one in your heart and never give in to other people or society. In the novel, Elizabeth is so extraordinary due to her ignorance of Darcy’s wealth. She was not truckling like other girls who wanted to marry Darcy in order to get a great of possession. Exactly her pureness, love seemed to be gracious in her eyes, which attracted Darcy a lot.The true love is like this! No matter how poor you are, I’m with you just because I love you. However you shall pocket your pride and prejudice and treat me honestly. Just like a Chinese saying “Hold hands to me and grow old with you”. We are supposed to have the sweetest and best wishes to love. We shall meet with a great number of obstacles in the pursuit of love butkeeping an positive and persistent attitude. Stick to love and have a strong belief that true love will approach to you in the near future.6. Works sited:[1] Graff, Gerald.

简在《傲慢与偏见》中的婚姻观
Jane Austen’s marriage conception in “Pride and Prejudice”Firstly, Jane is an English writer,who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life. Jane Austen’s career belongs chronologically to the Romantic Period. She was the first important English woman novelist. And also she is one of the realistic novelists. She drew vivid and realistic pictures of everyday life of the country society in her novels.In Jane’s work, Mr. Bennet had five daughters, and all of them were unmarried. He was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humor, reserve, and caprice. Mrs. Bennet was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. And the business of her life was to get her daughters married. In the story, the author told us Mr.Bennet was marry Mrs.Bennet act on impulse because of her beauty, and at the further life, he was bothered with her little information, boring goal and he was regret to marry her. So he just could get some fun from joking on his wife and daughters. From here, the author wanted to tell us, a blind, unmatched marriage won’t be happy.In the story, there are four main couples. The couple she emphasized was Lizze and Mr. Darcy. The main thread of the story was the entanglement of their affections, and they finally get married happily. Through the description of the four couples, it reflected some different representative perspectives that commonly existed in marriage problems. At the same time, she expressed her own opinion clearly to readers,“love is the base of a happy marriage, do not marry without love”, “money is the guarantee of marriage ”“a marriage without money is stupid”.The oldest daughter Jane was a woman with grace, elegance, great beauty, soft and gentle, but she was too much conservative, although she was love Bingley so much, but she did not speak it out, she hid it in her soft appearance, Bingley was a handsome, wealthy but an easy-going and gentle man. He loved Jane, but he was unconfident, he was not sure about Jane’s feeling to him, so he was afraid to tell the true feeling to Jane. Except this, Bingley’s sister did not like Jane; she made it difficult for them to get together. But however, they loved each other, with Elizabeth’s help, they get married at last. It has a happy ending, however. Here the author told us, if you really love someone, you will full of powers to overcome all obstacles, and got a happy marriage.Lydia was the youngest daughter who inherited Mrs.Bennet’s beauty vanity and also stupidity. Mr. Wickham was a vagabond of moral decay, and idle, but beneath his personable, conversation and pleasant, full of charm. Lydia was obsessed with his appearance, and she ran away with him. This wasn’t accept by the society at that time, and with the help of Darcy, they came back and got married, however, they didn’t happy after they were get married. Because Wickham was just a conscienceless man and he didn’t really love Lydia. Here expressed author’s idea again that marriage wouldn’t happy without love.Elizabeth’s friend Charlotte was a woman with good education, well breeding, smartness and decent behavior, but she was short of money, and she wouldn’t like to depend on her brother for a living. She knew that Collins was an annoying man, and self-righteous, and he didn’t really love her, but she also knew that get married to Collins is the only respectable way to survive. She said to Lizze, “I am not romanticyou know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home, and considering Mr.Collins’s character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state”. Even after they married, she spoke frankly to Jane that except Mr. Collins, the whole house was a good and comfortable place to live. And here, the author wanted to tell us that there was another marriage which is only connects each other with money. Through the description of this, we can see at that time in England society, there was a popular view that money is the key factor in marriage, but not love. Obviously, the author Jane was not agree with it, and from her description, their marriage was not a good one, so here her opinion was that love is the base of marriage, and your marriage couldn’t be happy without love.Then the author told the story between Lizze and Darcy. Lizze was a smart, beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful and attractive. And Darcy was a handsome, wealthy, well-mannered but a little arrogant and a cold man. At first, Collins was made a proposal to Lizze, although he inherited a great deal of wealth from her father, and he also have a high social status, but Lizze didn’t love him, so she rejected him. In her eyes, wealth and status was not the most important, only the true love was the point to marriage. Then Darcy appeared, he didn’t notice Lizze at the very beginning, and thought she is nothing upstairs, but gradually, he was attracted by her wit, humor and clever, however, when he made a proposal to Lizze with his usual pride, Lizze accused him with his insolent and rude, and also rejected him. From here, we can see Lizze’s attitude (also the author’s): rational, persistent and never compromise to a marriage without love. Marriage should found on the base of love. After the failure, Darcy realized his faults and corrected them sincerely, and Lizze removed her prejudice and misunderstanding to Darcy gradually. At last, they fell in love with each other through deeper understanding and got married. They also had a happy ending; the reason why they had a happy marriage was the true love between them. And the author showed her view again in here.Through all these marriages, Jane expressed that all the happy marriages are based on the true love, you shouldn’t marry without love, money is guarantee for marriage and it is also very important. In Jane’s view of marriage, she never escaped to talk about the importance of money, in her point of view, money and marriage is inseparable and correlative.At the end of 18 century and the beginning of 19 century, men dominated that society, and there were no equality between men and women, and women had a low status in society. Women had no right to inherit the wealth, the center of their life were housework and family. The only way for them to survive and make a living was to marry a good, wealthy man. So it was very important for the women to get a good marriage under that time. It was decided by the women’s social status and social situation. Jane thought a right marriage is established on the base of love and related to wealth and status but it isn’t decisive factor however. Although it has been written for a long time, but we can still learned something from it.。
