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。

The author thinks that Bingley and Jane have many similarities in their characters which lead them to a successful marriage although they all lack strength in their marriage. The author also points out that Bingley and Jane married for love not for the money status or good looks. So the combination of them is really a blessed and happy marriage.Key words:Marriage Love Interests happyContentJane Austen( 1775-1817 )who was born at Steventon on December 16 1775 was one of the greatest novelists in England. She was the youngest of seven children in her family. She received most of her education at home. Her family are allfond of reading books which influenced her very much. Her reading extended little beyond the literature of the eighteenth century and within that period she admired Dr. Johnson particularly. And later she was delighted with both the poetry and prose of Scott. Shedied on July 18 1817 and was buried in the cathedral in Winchester. She totally wrote six novels in her life. Among the six novels Pride and Prejudice has been valued as the most successful and popular masterpiece. In this novel Jane Austen mainly described the ordinary life of the Bennets . She told us four different marriages to show the readers that different people have different attitudes towards love. Andalso she expressed her own viewpoints on marriage that a combination based on love and similar interests is a happy and perfect marriage. In her opinion the money-oriented marriage and sex-oriented marriage are not successful although the people can live together. The theme is narrow but she showed us a beautiful tableau of the England people’s life of her own time. It seems that she had a talent to describe the ordinary life of people.“Read again and for the third time at least Miss Austens very finely written novel of Pride and Prejudice. That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements and feelings andcharacters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with.”1Because of the lack of her experiences and knowledge the characters in Pride and Prejudice are all of her own social class: The ladies and gentlemen of the landed gentry. And also in every conversation there was at least one lady.“The conversations of ladies with ladies or of ladies and gentlemen together are given but no instance occurs of a scene in which men only are present.”2Most parts of the story are the intricacies of courtships and marriages between the members of her class which are great attraction to many readers.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 insisted on pursuing their true love which lead them to a happy and perfect marriage.Mr. Bingley was a good looking and gentlemanlike person whose revenues were about 5000 pounds a year. As a young man who had good breeding he was cordial and simple with easily-led disposition. With this character he never appeared dissatisfied. He was easy to approach and constant in love although he was veryrich.However he lacked strength and independence in his marriage which was a grievous defect of him. In the novel Bingley was popular with almost everybody in everywhere. He had a pleasant countenance and easy unaffected manners. It is easy to find that he was agreeable both in appearance and character. The first appearance of Bingley was the time when he “returned Mr. Benner’s visit and sat about ten minutes with him in his library.”3But the exact time when the readers began to know him was some days later. At the first ball at Nether field he was shown to everybody and the readers began to make acquaintance of his personality through his behavior.“Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room he was lively and unreserved danced every dance was angry that the ball closed so early and talked of giving one himself at Nether field. Such amiable qualities must speak for themselves.”4Of course these personal strength won Jane’s admiration. She thought that he was just what a young man ought to be. In her eyes Mr. Bingley was a sensible good-humored lively young man. And she had never seen anyone who had so many advantages with perfect good breeding He was just her Mr.Right At that ball,“Bingley’s attentions to Jane had given rise to a general expectation of their marriage. He spoke of it as a certain event of which the time alone could been decided.”5Mr. 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 towards Jane was obviously sincere and unaffected. It was obvious that when Jane suffered a trifling cold he was worried about her. His anxiety and attention to her was evident. For example when Elizabeth said that she couldn’t leave her sister because Jane’s illness was worse “Bingley urged Mr. Jones’s being sent for immediately.”6 and “Bingley was quite uncomfortable.”7 The following sentences also are the evidences:“but diffuseness and warmth remained for Bingley’s salutation. He was full of joy and attention. The first half hour was spent in piling up the fire lest she should suffer from the change of room and she removed at his desire to the other side of the fire-place that she might be farther from the door. He then sat down by her and talked scarcely to anyone else.”8It is not difficult for the readers to find Bingley’s real concernand affection towards Jane from these details. He was cordial and constant in his love.As a pleasant and modest person Mr. Bingley was far from the man who was strong and determined. This is his merit but also his demerit. His cordial and simple character leads to his quiet romance with Jane. But his weak and easily-led character leads to his parting with Jane. So when their romance went smoothly he suddenly departed from Jane which nearly ends his happy love and marriage.Generally speaking his departure from Jane was caused by the relationship between him and Darcy. They were good friends although they were different in character.Between them there was a very steady and constant friendship. Bingley was endeared to Darcy by the easiness openness and ductility of his temper. It is no doubt for Darcy that Bingley had the firmest reliance. For Darcy he wanted to help his friend. In his opinion it is impossible for Jane to love Bingley. So he persuaded Bingley not to take Jane in marriage. This point can be found from his letter to Elizabeth:“Her Jane look and manners were open cheerful and engaging as ever but without any symptom of peculiar regard and I remained convinced from the evening’s scrutiny thatthough she received his attentions with pleasure she did not invite them by any participation of sentiment.”9For Bingley he had an easily-led temper. He was so modest and pliable that he had no opinion about his own marriage. No matter how obvious his attachment to Jane was he believed Darcy’s representation of Jane’s indifference was true. Because Mr.Bingley’s two sisters didn’t like Jane they thought Mr. Bingley should choose Georgiana Darcy’s sister as his wife. So they also disagree with Bingley about his marriage with Jane. Under the influences of his sisters and Mr. Darcy Bingley beganto doubt Jane’s affection to him. Finally he thought Jane didn’t love him so he left her without saying good-bye. Later when all the misunderstandings clarified he came back to Jane at Darcy’s assistance. Bingley’s indecisive character determines his happiness and results that his life was controlled by others.Jane was the first children in her family. She was a kind and mild girl who was 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. Compared with other girls she was the mostmild kind modest and almost perfect girl in this novel.Sometimes she was a little innocent. In her eyes everybody is perfect. She never saw the ugly fact of life even she was deceived. Her character is vividly showed in many parts of the novel. “Compliments always take you Jane by surprise and me Elizabeth never”10 and“Oh You Jane are a great deal too apt you know to like people in general you never see a fault in anybody all the world are too good and agreeable in your eyes. I Elizabeth never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life.”11According to this readers can find that how kind and innocent Jane was. And also it is quite natural for Jane to fall in love with the pleasant and simple Bingley. She met him at the ball and after then she adored Bingley very much. But with her introverted and tranquil disposition Jane controlled her passion too much which nearly consumed her felicity. Although she loved Mr. Bingley after the ball she had no courage to express it. She cherished her feelings towards him but she chose to conceal it. She didn’t display her true feelings. On the contrary she controlled her passion to the best of her ability lest anyone find it. She only showed genteel pleasure and politeness although her heart was fluttering withromantic passion. In a sense her attitude towards love was passive.According to the above Darcy thought that though Jane was pleased with Bingley she didn’t love him. He thought Jane’s “countenance and air was such as might have given the most acute observer aconviction that however amiable her temper her heart was not likely to be easily touched.”12In 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. She was very depressed. But because of the defect of her character she pretended to be all right and said nothing about her sadness. Here readers can find that her weakness and obedience had been thoroughly exposed.In the novel Bingley and Jane never stopped pursuing their true love although there were so many obstacles between them. Fortunately with the help of Darcy and Elizabeth they finally got married and had a happy life. Bingley and Jane had many similarities in their characters which is the main reason to the success of their marriage. They possessed personal attractiveness and dignity social graces and a measure of good sense. They all had good breeding but lacked insightstrength and self-confidence. They didn’t show their insides easily to the publics because they cared the social criticism too much. For Jane she always concealed her true feeling swhich gave others a illusion that she didn’t love Bingley. For Bingley he yielded easily to criticism of Jane’s social position and easily accepted the suggestions of his sisters and Darcy which almost consumed the felicity between Jane and him. In manner of speaking the outside forces facilitated their marriage.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 live together with a happy life because there are understandings helps and supporting between them. They don’t care the defects of their partners and even they don’t see any faults in each other. Just as the old saying going “Birds of a feather flock together people of a mind fill into the same group.”Notes1.Walter Scott The Journal of Sir Walter Scott March 1826.2. W. F.

简析简奥斯汀《傲慢与偏见》中女性的婚姻观
- 242-校园英语 / 文艺研究简析简·奥斯汀《傲慢与偏见》中女性的婚姻观河套学院外国语言文学系/杨娜【摘要】简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》以四位女性角色丽迪亚、夏绿特、简、伊丽莎白各自的爱情纠葛为主线,分别形成了截然不同的四段婚姻,从中体现出简·奥斯汀的婚姻观,得出有益于现代女性取得幸福婚姻的重要因素。
【关键词】简·奥斯汀 《傲慢与偏见》 女性 婚姻观一、引论简·奥斯汀这位伟大的英国女性作家,曾被英国著名文学家和评论艺术家基布尔(T·T·Kebble)评论为“一位喜剧艺术家”,并认为她在“纯粹喜剧艺术方面仅次于莎士比亚”。
在2005年初,英国BBC 台在读者中开展的一项调查也印证了这一点:在英国社会对女性影响最大、曾改变女性世界观(主要是爱情婚姻观)的文学作品,简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》位列第一。
在这部探讨婚姻关系的作品中,奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》中描述了四对年轻男女截然不同的婚姻,诠释了不同的婚姻观念,这不仅没有完全脱离我们的实际,还给现代人带来很多启示。
二、《傲慢与偏见》中女性角色的婚姻在文中,作者着力从几位女性角色的角度刻画了几种不同类型的婚姻和爱情关系,夏绿特和柯林斯;丽迪亚和威克姆;伊丽莎白和达西等等。
尽管他们都走进了婚姻的围城,但是婚姻的幸福度却各不相同。
1.丽迪亚的婚姻。
丽迪亚是班纳特最小的女儿,生性开放,注重享乐,她的择偶标准则是男人是否有好看的外表,当威克姆出现后,她立即被其外表所迷惑,不顾一切与他私奔,婚后两人生活上挥霍无度,穷困潦倒,而威克姆更是与丽迪亚激情退去后就在外面寻欢作乐。
俩人的婚姻没有爱情,也没有物质基础,所以并不幸福完美。
2.夏绿特的婚姻。
夏绿特是一个非常现实的姑娘,深知自己家境一般,相貌平庸,又受到这个时期英国贵族传统婚姻观念的影响,个人的婚姻要服从于家庭的利益,重视由婚姻带来的经济利益。
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 . She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage , and regard men and women's emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage . The woman protagonist in the book Elizabeth comes from the little landlord's family, reaches the west to have deep love for for the rich and powerful people sons and younger brothers. Reach the disparity of ignoring family status and wealth of the west, propose to her, but is refused. 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 . 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 . The woman protagonist in the book Elizabeth comes from the little landlord's family, reaches the west tohave deep love for for the rich and powerful people sons and younger brothers. Reach the disparity of ignoring family status and wealth of the west, propose to her, but is refused. 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.

Works sited (9)A Brief Talk about Views of Marriagein Pride and PrejudiceAbstract: Nowadays marriage means two loved individuals set up a relationship and forms a social combination of domestic relation between people. In this way, the couple can get together properly and legally. For the purpose of love without any other substances, people marry happily. However, I can realize different views of marriage among the young people in the 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 viewson 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. Through what 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 19thcentury 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.3.1The marriage of Jane and BingleyJane,the eldest daughter of Mr.Bennet, 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 youngpeople 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 Mr.Darcy. 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 toeach 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. Interestingsouls meet with each other when their love comes and beautiful looks end up when time flies. 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.3.2The 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 sheis 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 Miss.Darcy and finally he failed. Therefore he turns to Lydia, the babyish and foolish girl. Their elopement is really a shame for the family of Mr.Bennet. Luckily they get the help of Mr.Darcy and can live by 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 ofus 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 is a behavior without any responsibility and obligation. You can see many people 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, theyoung 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 tobalance. (Li Dapeng, 2015: 2)3.3The 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 Mr.Bennet 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 this is 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 notaccuse 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.3.4The marriage of Elizabeth and DarcyElizabeth and Mr.Darcy 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 becameembarrassed.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 getsis 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 merelya decent way of survival for women. Women had few expectations ofemotional feelings in their marriages.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, sheinspired 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 nottruckling 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 but keeping 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. Professing Literature: An InstitutionalHistory[M].

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.

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.

英语论文-范本《傲慢与偏见》中的婚姻态度(英文)
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. Elizabeth finds that Darcy has changed. He is not pride anymore and does not look down on his family with low social status. What is most important, Darcy looks love her as usual. But this time, the smallest daughter Lydia elopes with Wickham. This is the shame of the family. Elizabeth goes back to do some help in hurry. In the end, Wickham gets a great deal of money and gets married with Lydia formally. The shame affair is covered .But Elizabeth does not count on Darcy to love her. From the Lydia, Elizabeth knows that it is Darcy who had been borrowed them money and in present the wedding. This makes Elizabeth to feel surprises in that she has already realized the truth between Darcy and Wickham. She begins to envisage her inter heart; she comes to realize that she still love Darcy deeply. Bingley and Darcy go back to the Netherfield Park. Bingley makes a proposal to Jane, who makes Darcy and Elizabeth go together. However, Darcy’s aunt does not agree with their love, while Elizabeth faces it bravely. 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。
傲慢与偏见文献综述
1 IntroductionThe main story of the novel happens between Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy. Although, it seems that, they haven’t attracted anyone’s eyes. We all know that 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 any more because of his pride.At last, when everything comes to light Lizzy regretted. She found that she had misunderstood Darcy. And Darcy had although changed. He made an offer of marriage to her again and was accepted. No pride and no prejudice are between them.The novel also reflected the author oneself's marriage view: It is wrong to marry for the property, money and position. She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage, and regard men and women's emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage .Just because Pride and Prejudice, I have a profound thinking about marriage. The writer uses intelligent words to depict a few different marriages in the book, each of which reflects people's attitudes toward marriage in that time. We can comprehend the essence of Jane and Bingley’s marriage, Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage , Lydia and Wickham’s marriage and Charlotte and Collins’s marriage through Elizabeth’s views. Through the wise heroine, we see marriage description. To marry for wealth and beauty is wrong.This kind of marriage cannot retain long-term happiness, and truly happy marriage is based on love and sense.2 The analysis o f Elizabeth’s characterElizabeth Bennet is a person worthy of our imitation. She is a model because she is different from all the other characters, except Darcy, and because she does not adhere rigidly to the standards set forth by society, she is self-reliant and independent. Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collin's proposal because she does not think that marriage was boring, nor does she believe in marriage of convenience. When Mr. Collins says arrogantly to Elizabeth, she politely refused him. Unlike Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth would never violate her principle and her integrity and throw away her talents bymarrying Mr. Collins, a conceited, narrow-minded, and pompous fool. Elizabeth looksnature because she puts her trust in her own perceptions and impressions. On the other hand, she is not ready to rebel against society. She does not totally disregard social proprietary. She has good manners; her slight breach of decorum walking alone to Nether field Park is justified by her genuine concern for her sister who is ill. She hasgood manners. When Lady Catherine criticizes Elizabeth skill of playing piano, shecan have good manners to keep polite.3 Elizabeth’s views about her sisters’ and friend’s marriage3.1The most realistic marriage —Charlotte’s marriageFor 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 stable of rich life; Collins also gets a warm home. This is their understanding of marriage.3.2 The most ridiculous marriage —Lydia’s marriageLydia and Wickham is absurd combination of extremely. Their relationship is completely built on lust and appearance, no love foundation, say, is neither practicalnor romantic. Lydia got erotic satisfied; Wickham also get what he wanted wealth,this is their understanding of marriage.3.3The most happy marriage —Jane’s marriageJane and Bingley marriage is considered the happiest marriage. Jane and Bingleymatch each other faces, male prodigy, anyone opinion, they are the most suitable for together. Their marriage, love, in my opinion, is not the main base, the main is a kindof attraction. For Jane's beauty and Bingley, Jane attracted to kind of handsome and Bingley attracted gentleman poise, their love more performance for a mutual admiration of love. Marriage is a complicated contract, both parties must have enoughlove to maintain the basis of this contract. But Jane and the love between the Bingleytoo insipid, too. That's not enough deep-rooted, let I don't feel safe, seem to lurk trace dangerous breath.3.4 The most admirable marriage —Elizabeth’s marriageThe marriage is tortuous between them but again ups deep-rooted of love based."Economic and social structures with such great power sways interpersonal the relationships between people and this made her became the cartoonist monster"(D.W.Hardin 166-179). With first marriage proposal as a border, in thinking changed not only is Elizabeth, and Darcy. Elizabeth because Darcy letter, to realize their prejudice; Darcy because Elizabeth words, to realize their arrogance. If Elizabeth for Darcy's first marriage proposal didn't refuse words may Darcy for her infatuation will not lasting. If no refusal dialogue, Darcy or that although multimillionaire, although a handsome, but too arrogant on high. For such people, Elizabeth even for impulsive and agreed to marry him, in the near future, Elizabeth still will be sorry. And if not rejected that after letter, Elizabeth is still that although bright, beautiful, frank, but too subjective and prejudice, for such people, Darcy will soon tired. Because have these twists and turns, the love between them is more precious, more deeply.4 Conclusion"There is no doubt that Elizabeth and Darcy's love is the shining pearl in the history of literary, and their love is the ideal mode which has been esteem by Austen"(Zheng 79). The author’s view about marriage: it is wrong to get married for property, money and position. Getting married without considering that above-mentioned factors are unwise ether. So that she objects to get married for money, objects to regarding the marriage as a trifling matter. She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage, and regard men and women's emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriageLove is impulsive and is of no reason no passionate, and full of madness.Love itself is crazy. However, how many people can love with madness? The reality is cruel, marriage doesn't equal to love, and this ideal are away from us far away. Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage is the happiest, with deep-rooted of love, and a necessary condition that Darcy strongly wealth. Money is not secular in their marriage wasn'tsecular; the wealth is just like sunshine and nutritions their marriage is of much envy for any person. If marriage is such a castle, so I'd like to be trapped in such a city, Are being loved besieged not a kind of happiness?As far as I concerned, Pride and Prejudice reflects the British sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative,and tells us different ways and attitudes to the marriage between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet’s five daughters’. This reveals the author’s attitude toward marriage .And that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, and it is very stupid. "And we must emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, oppose to love and marriage based on money or property"(Hu 17). We must take the affection or love as the cornerstone of ideal marriage between male and female. Elizabeth was born in the family of squireen's, and loved by Darcy. Darcy proposes marriage to her in spite of their difference of the possession of property and social status, but is still refused by Elizabeth because of his pride. So if Darcy's pride still exists, there will be no love and even happy marriage between Elizabeth and him. And I think pride and prejudice aren't very good. If someone is always full of pride, he will look down upon others and think he is very great and smart. Because of Darcy's pride, Elizabeth hold prejudice against him. If someone is a prejudiced person, every time he meets somebody or something, what he thinks of others all depends on his foregone experience and his mood of the time. What’s worse, he doesn’t think what he does is wrong. He thinks everyone is the same as him and everyone has his special way to know the world, but it is absolutely wrong. Though everyone can be judged in the way he likes, he can’t ignore others. He can like what he likes and hate what he hates, but he should be objective when he treats others. So I think we should consider things rationally and thoughtfully and not just do as we like. That is to say, we shouldn't have any pride and prejudice, or we couldn't treat things and others impartially and it couldn't lead a happy life.References[1]孙致礼,译,简·奥斯丁.《傲慢与偏见》南京:译林出版社,2000年:83Sun Zhili,Pride and Prejudice,2000:83[2]朱虹,《奥斯丁研究》.北京:中国文联出版公司,1985年:178Zhu Hong,The Research of Austen,1985:178[3]郑晓园.文化深层的激荡.阅读与欣赏,1998年:79Zheng Xiaoyuan The Deeping Evoking of Culture,1988:79[4]D.W.Harding.‘Regulated Hatred:An Aspect of the Work of Jane Austen’Watt.Jane Austen:A Collection of Critical Essays(2005):166-179[5]胡宗锋:《英美文学精要问答及作品赏析》.西安出版社,2002.17[Hu Zongfeng :British and American literature works q&a and appreciation Journal of Xi’an2002:17]AcknowledgementsIn the course of writing this thesis, I received a magnificent amount of help and support, and I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to all who have help me.In the course of writing this thesis, I received a lot help and support from my teachers and from my friends, now i have this opportunity to express my appreciation to all the people who have help me.I want to give my profound thanks to Mr Lu, He is strict to me, and he is also very patient to me, I have done the thesis by his priceless help and his guidance.

On Jane Austen's View of Marriage in Pride and Prejudice
written by Zhu Mengxian
Abstract: Jane Austen's masterpiece Pride and Prejudice fully embodies her view of marriage. In the following, a brief review is given about her views on marriage by analysing several related articles.
Key words: Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice views of marriage
Introduction: Jane Austen humorously described different kinds of marriage relations in Pride and Prejudice. Until today, this novel is still very popular among many readers and arouses people's observation and unlimited thinking of marriage.
Review: It has been pointed out that Jane holds the view that love and marriage are associated with but not totally lie on the property and social status, the marriage which is based on the love is a true happy marriage. There are many articles to support this view. For example, one of researchers thought marriage and property and social status are interconnected, but marriage could not only depend on the property and the social status based on researching the four young couples' marriages in this novel which can be categorized into two groups according to their different marriage foundation, Simply one just like Charlotte — Collins and Lydia — Wickham is called unhappy marriage. The other one like Elizabeth —Darcy and Jane —Bingley is the opposite. “ She believed that marriage just for money was wrong, but marriage of no money was stupid.”
On the other hand, some papers have reported that Jane attaches great importance to ideal marriage and regards the feelings between men and women as the cornerstone of the ideal marriage. Austen fully expresses her views on love and marriage only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual admiration, understanding and mutual respect. In Tang Chunhua’s paper, she considered that “ She believed that a husband not only need have certain number of family property but also must respect women, and at the same time there must be mutual understanding between them.” It happens that there is a similar case, Yu Hongen pointed out that Jane stresses that character is important than appearance in a marriage. “Austen believes that the person’s character is more important than appearance in the matter of a happy marriage.”“They have common in character and mutual appreciation, it is the most solid foundation that they can go into the marriage hall and toward a rational happiness.”
At the same time, it emphasizes the independence and dignity of women on the marital problems.
Conclusion: During her time, Jane's view was so advanced that it was not accepted widely. Until today, it still has important influence. Austen’s views on marriage and love are also suitable for our real social. We youth should make right marriage and love views to orient our lives. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. In a word, we can find her idea about marriage from the analysis, marriage, property and social status interconnected, but not absolutely.
