1.Creation backgroundPride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London. Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighborhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth.Though Austen set the story at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books." It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, selling over 20 million copies, and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes.2.Author introductionJane Austen, English writer,who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life.Although Austen was widely read in her lifetime,she published her works anonymously.The most urgent preoccupation of her young,well-bred heroines is courtship,and finally marriage.Austen's best-known books include Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Emma (1816).Virginia Woolf called her "the most perfect artist among women."Jane Austen was born in Steventon,Hampshire,where her father was a rector.She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight.The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire.She was tutored at home.Her parents were avid readers and she received a broader education than many women of her time.On her father's retirement,the family moved to Bath. Austen focused on middle-class provincial life with humor and understanding.She depicted the life of minor landed gentry,country clergymen and their families,in which marriage mainly determined women's social status.Most important for her were those little matters,as Emma says,"on which the daily happiness of private life depends." Although Austen restricted to family matters,and she passed the historical events of the Napoleonic wars,her wit and observant narrative touch has been inexhaustible delight to readers.Of her six great novels,four were published anonymously during her lifetime.At her death on July 18,1817 in Winchester,Austen was writing the unfinished Sanditon.Austen was buried in Winchester Cathedral.3.content validityThis is the famous British writer Jane Austen masterpiece "Pride and Prejudice" in the opening section,leads some in the early nineteenth century England and on the value of the classic love story.As we all know,in Austin,in the novel by Quebec five daughters getting different treatment,shown township middle-class families of marriage for girls who love the different attitudes,which reflected the author I love the idea of marriage:the sake of property,money and the - The marriage is wrong; The marriage did not take into account the above factors also stupid.Therefore,she opposes the money for the purpose of marriage,also opposes the marriage lightly.She stressed the importance of an ideal marriage,and the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of the conclusion of the marriage ideal.The story of Quebec heroine Elizabeth (Keira Terri) was born to a family of small landowners four sisters,Sister Jane Quebec,Quebec sister Mary,Katie Quebec and Laidiya Quebec.Five sisters and a little monotonous quiet life along with the two young guys coming up and it is undeniable-and eliminate the waves.Bin Heli healthy and progressive and rich Darcy (Matthew Mike Deng) is a good friend,became acquainted with the town lure of this home,"five",a beautiful and full of "Pride and Prejudice" love story.4.Analysis of Characters(1)Mr.BennetMr. Bennet is an English gentleman with an estate(2)Mrs.BennetMr. Bennet’s wife ,Vulgar, intellectual poor woman, Elizabeth's mother. Her greatest wish is to find a husband who has status and money. She does not care about her daughter's love, only pay attention to the real interests.(3)Jane BennetIn my opinion, Jane Bennet is a beautiful, kindhearted and restrained woman. As an unmarried woman, her reserve really shows she is educated; but in front of her love, it almost makes her miss her true love. It is surely her shortcoming. Even she is not as smart as Elizabeth, she is still a welcome character in the novel.(4)ElizabethShe is her father's favorite and inherits his intelligence and wit. She can also understand the deep meaning of any talk. She can talk with her partner humorously. She will express her own opinion without following others. She will not surrender even before a rich and high class person. If anybody wants to spoil her rights, she will surely protect it with her bitter words.Elizabeth is smart, brave and thinking. This enables her to have the opinion on the issue of love, and obtain happiness. She insists that true love is the foundation of an ideal marriage. To her, love was saint and pure.In the end, the good hearted girl won a more happy marriage..(5)Mr. DarcyDarcy has been a spoiled child. Darcy is a noble descent and he inherits an enormous amount of property. At the same time, he has been used to thinking and acting with pride and dignity.He often appears proud to strangers. his class has given him a born pride.Darcy's mother passed away when he was young, the family influence makes him more brave and independent. His nature impresses people withcoldness and indifference which are the evidence of pride.Darcy is my favorite person of this book, not only because he is handsome but also his character. Being an elegant but proud wealthy landlord, Darcy gradually realizes his defects, reflects his pride and superior attitude and improves his personality. His affection to Elizabeth also changes from superficial attraction to understanding and respect. It is not easy for him to overcome it. But his effort in making progress actually wins for him love and trust.(6)Mr. CollinsNeither position nor property of young officers. He is handsome and elegant, so many people praise. In fact, he was a gambler, a liar, and has done many not to be divulged.He is rather foolish and conceited. He is far more interested in getting married than in who his wife would actually be.5.book reviewPride and Prejudice was the representative work of Jane Austen. It gives a vivid expression of the reacting and traditional country life and people’s mind during the 18th century and 19th century Britain to us. This great novel not only attracted thousands of readers in Austen’s time, but also gave a special feeling today’s people.I like it very much.“It is a truth university acknowledge that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”Everybody knows the first sentence of June Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The famous opening sentence, which is humorous and famous, represents the perfect marriage between the content and style. I can find the same echo from this opening sentence in many parts of the novel. In the whole book, various combinations, comparison and contrasts of different characters and situations are presented by the author.In this novel, Mrs. Bennet is representative of the generality of people who consider the gaining of a son-in-low in terms of the acquisition of property. It is this attitude that makes her not only comic but also shocking and at times disgusting. As to my opinion, marriage should mainly base on sentiment rather than economic conditions. True love is much important than money.Elizabeth Bennet is the protagonist of the novel and Mr. Darcy is the male protagonist of the novel and Darcy’s relationship is decided when Darcy overcomes his pride, and Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, leading to the coming together at last.Love is really a wonderful thing. Stick to the principle and do not be afraid of misunderstanding. I am sure that one day happiness will come true.I always think why the little is Pride and Prejudice. I have been confused for a long time, but now I understand. Pride and Prejudice are the things that help determine the actions of the two main character and the development of the plot. In this sense, the story is about pride and prejudice, about the effects of these vices on people and events. Pride refers to Darcy’s behavior, and prejudice links with Elizabeth’s view on Darcy. Pride and Prejudice.Some people hold the view that the author failed the narrate several of thecharacters, such as Lydia and Mr. Wickham. It is no doubt true that the novel would be richer if we know Lydia’s and Mr. Wickham’s experience. And so on. As to my own conclusion, I do not agree with the point of the view. I think there should be main character and other characters in a novel. If the author writers too much about other characters, then main characters will fade. At the same time, leaving some room for readers to image is also of great importance.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 this book, 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 economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.。
