《傲慢与偏见》观后感(英语)

My Reflection on Pride and Prejudice

The movie Pride and Prejudice was grounded on the village life in England in the nineteenth century. Elizabeth, who's also named Lizzie, was born in a civilian-class family but loved by a young rich man, Mr Darcy. Mr Darcy overcame the concept of family status and proposed to Lizzie. However, he was turned down because Lizzie was misled by Mr Wickham. Fortunately, the misunderstandings between them was cleared up soon. Afterwards, Mr Darcy helped the Bennet solve the problem caus ed by Lidia and Wickham,who eloped and damaged the family’s reputation. Eventually, Mr Darcy won Lizzie’s heart. A nd Lizzie’s friend, Charlotte, got married with Mr. Colins and gained her ideal life. Moreover, Jane, Lizzie’s sister, won her own ha ppiness with Mr Bingley in the end.

Through the marriages of four middle-class girls,the movie showed us this class’s sense of love and marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for possession and positon. H owever, it’s also stupid to get married without thinking of possession or nothingelse.

After watching the movie Pride and Prejudice, I can see that the movie mainly concentrates on four marriages of Lezzie’s, Jane’s, Lidia’s and Charlotte’s. The four pairs of lovers all fight for their great hardships of marriage.

Obviously, Charlotte’s and Lidia’s marriages are not so happy. According to the movie,there are two types of unhappy marriages: one is completely based on economic base, like Charlotte, who got married with Mr Colins just for searching for a shelter to spend her rest life; the other on exterior and lust, like Lidia, who got away with Mr Wickham for his good-look and her own vanity. Without true love,these two types of marriage both fail.

In reality, only Lizzie's and Jane's marriages are solid and happy marriages. Only with true love in a marriage can it be reliable. Although economy is an essential factor and appearance is the first possibility to prompt feelings, love is the most important base of a long marriage. Indeed, love must to be tested by society or secular concept.From the very beginning, there are misunderstandings between Lizzie and Mr Darcy, Jane and Mr Bingley. At that time, bravery is needed to be their weapons. In addition, though love can be an affair of two lovers’,ma rriage is not only a private problem but also relevant to family’s reputation. Take Lidia and Mr Wickham’s elopement for example, we inevitably need to think about the influence on others connected with us. Of course, this is not an advocation that we should limit our legal right of pursuing love just because we need to consider others’ feelings, but a suggestion that we are supposed to correct our attitude towards the distinction between love and marriage.We'd better try hard to minimize the impact from our decision.

In a word,what the movie wants to tell us most is that only the marriage mainly based on true love can be considered as a happy one and we ought to pursue the love we want, which is also the biggest revelation I learn from the movie.
