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 novel has vividly described some special sensitive characteristics of females and the lives and ideas of middle class social relations in Jane's time.The novel took young people’s marriages as the thread and it coverd the inheritance of fortune, women’s social status, ethics and customs. Being the masterpiece of Jane Austen, it got a favor of literary lovers at the same time.This paper is going to make some analyses of money and marriage in Pride and Prejudice and we can see money matters in every one of them.1. Background of Austen“Jane Austen (1775-1717) was born in Hampshire, a country priest family located in Hants, the village of Kingston, Sidemen in north England. She was a beautiful, talented and middle class woman with extraordinary temperament and good cultivation. Her six novels---Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Manshifeierde manor, Emma, Persuasion all describe more than marriage.”(Wang Shouren, P64, 2005)However, her marriage is like a blank paper in her 42 years real lifetime. When she was 26, she accepted a proposal by a man much younger and richer than her. But she declined him next day because she knew she did not love the man. She remained single all her life after that.2. Background of Pride and PrejudiceIn this book, the author amply demonstrates her point about money and marriage. For that, to analyze these points of views, it is necessary for us firstly started from her great work."At that time, according to the social condition in Britain, a good marriage for ayoung woman was critical. This phenomenon was closely associated with the British society and the status of the status of women in the society. In the 19th century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society. There was on equality between women and men." (Zhu Hong, P34, 1997). The main life of women was forced to be staying at home, their roles were to deal with the family affairs, taking care of children and serving for their husband. Patient and deferent were the virtues of women. At that time, there were three solutions for middle-class young women: getting married, staying at home as old maids or working as the family female teachers. Since the income and status of family female teacher was very low and on one would like to be a maid forever, therefore, in terms of young women, especially those who were not rich, to get married was the only way for them to gain respect, stability and poi status.3. Four Marriages and the Suggestion of Money and Marriage in Pride and Prejudice3.1 Concept about Money and Marriage in the SocietyIt shows us the ordinary lives, deeming of the ordinary people. By the describing about people's daily activities, the author gave us a panorama of the social customs. The marriage in this cool reflects the author's point of view in positive way that married should be based on true love. However, we can find some negative example of marriage via based on money, which help to make the plots, more tortuous and richer.3.2 Four Marriages in Pride and PrejudiceMoney and marriage are two important and closely-connected themes in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.According to Jane Austen, love is more than money in marriage. But money is also an important issue. As indicated in the first line of the book it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. So the proper time for men to settle is after they get enough money. Because middle-class women usually don’t go out to work and ontheir husbands finally, they are more concerned with money during courtship. There are four marriages in this book and we will see it from deeper eyes.3.2.1 Collins and Charlotte’s MarriageIn Pride and Prejudice, the first part is the marriage or Collins and Charlotte’s. Charlotte is Elizabe th’s close friend and six older then her. Elizabeth was abashed that Charlotte would marry such a pathetic, social climbing man as Mr. Collins, just so that can have economic and social security. “可靠的储藏室,日后可以挨冻受饥”(Wang Keyi,P87,1990)we can say that the marriage between Charlotte and Hollings is totally a trade of money.Collins inherited his father’s property and got a position as a clergyman in his parish by the promotion of Mrs. De. Dear. For those reason, he got his own house and received a quiet considerable salary. Here, we should get .our thought back to Austen’s times. In that time’ women’s eyes, holiness was actually a proper single young man to be married with. And he himself really indeed in wants of a wife to help him deal with housework and company with him. Old and not very rich as she was, Charlotte wanted a prosperous husband. After Elizabeth refused Collins’ proposal, she knew she must catch this chance and try to make Collins “fall in love” with her.Collins and Charlotte’s marriage is a speedy one. It seemed did not conform to the traditional marriage manner. They used money gloss over their embarrassed. In the Lucas’s eyes, it’s a pretty good thing that their oldest girl married such a “well welfare” as Mr. Collins.3.2.2 Wickham a nd Lydia’s MarriaLydia was the youngest girl of the Bennett’s. She was very young, but grown up very quickly. Early-maturing and coquet as she was, Lydia enjoyed herself very much flirting with young and good-looking officers. When Wickham went to Bealeton with the army, she also went there as she got the invitation from the regimental commander’s young wife. Wickham’s eloquence and handsome appearance had had attracted her. So she went with him without thinking of twice.Their “elopement” made the Bennett’s in shame. To get out of this shameful situation, the Bennett’s thought Wickham must get married with Lydia. However, itwas not Wickham’s mean from beginning to the end. He promised to marry her in addition that Darcy would pay off his debts, which the number was more than 10,000 pounds. He also asked Darcy find him a job in the army. Darcy did it, to save the reputation of the Bennett’s or more actually we can say Elizabeth’s.On the appearance, Wickham and Lydia’s marriage was based on “love” or “sex”. But when search deep within their marriage, we find that it is more likely a trade of money. Wickham eloped with Lydia to extort the Bennett’s and agreed to marry Lydia only after getting paid by Darcy. At first this marriage is kind of girlish fever to Lydia and she dose not think too much about money, however, after marriage she often asks financial assistance from Elizabeth. So we can deduce that if there was no money, there was no Wickham and Lydia’s marriage.3.2.3 Bingley and Jane’s MarriageBingley and Jane’s Marriage was mainly based on their love. They felt in love with each other at the first sight. But they love did not develop very thoughtfully. For a long time, they were separated from each other without knowing anything of the others. So for what this pair of lover had to be apart? The strongest answer is money. Compared with Bingley, Jane was poor and had some unconformable relations. Jane’s status didn’t match their brother; more importantly, she couldn’t bring them any benefits. Then Bingley’s sister tried their best to prevent Bingley and Jane’s connection. Though Bingley made determined to marry Jane after they got together for the second time, their love wasn’t growing without a hitch. Anyhow, in the middle of the book Bingley estranges Jane for sometime because of her lower station and not rich enough.3.2.4 Darcy and Elizabeth’s MarriageDarcy and Elizabeth’s marriage was similar with Begley and Jane’s to a degree. They did combine because of love, but not purely because of love.It is generally accepted that Elizabeth begins to love Darcy when she first visit Pemberley and feels it will to be something to be mistress of this huge estate. She is impressed by money as well as taste. After all, few men have a magnificent estate to impress their lovers. When Lydia and Wick ham elope, Darcy saved the fame of theBennett’s by buying Wick ham into marrying Lydia. This helped his second proposal. Darcy can do this easily because that sum is no big deal compared to his 10,000 pounds annual income. Two true lovers who complete one another make a good match; with a fortune they make a perfect one.ConclusionAs indicted in the first line of the book: it is a truth that a single man in possession of s good fortune must be in want of a wife. The key words in this sentence are “possession” and “want”. Here “in want of” means objective “need”, not subjective “want”, that makes the title be more objective in reality.And Pride and Prejudice is beginning from this. Marriage in Pride and Prejudice is absolutely seldom referring to feelings; it is much more likely to be a pure problem of economy and living.The author also discussed some something about women’s right in the novel. But seen from the whole story, the author explored the relationship of marriage under the capitalist society, which is filled with desire of occupying. It is no use to condemn those kinds of marriages in moral. In a word, it was the economy, money master people’s life, fate and marriage. Austen had a particular eye in finding the truth: the substance of capitalist marriage is a trade of money and benefit.Bibliography[1] Hatfield E, Walster G W. A New Look at Love[M].

Although she was unmarried the whole life, the theme of her novels were love and marriage, basically, the love and marriage between a gentleman and a fairy lady. Her best-known works are Emma1815), Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Sense and Sensibility (1811).The novel talks about four different marriages: Collin and Challote ' s marriage which is based on money; Lydia and Wickham s marriage which is based on lust; Jane and Bin gley ' s marriage which is based on sen se, Elizabeth and Darcy' s marriage which is basedon love. Which weighs the most in marriage, love, possessi on, or social status? Jane Auste n has differe nt attitude and descripti on about the four marriages. The first sentence in this no vel is impressive. It says: “ It is a truth uni versally ack no wledged that a sin glemanin possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. ” The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not love but possessi on, but Jane Auste n tells us a differe nt story.The main story of this no vel happe ns betwee n Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy. Elizabeth Bennet is a 20-year-old young lady. She is her father's favourite daughter and in herits his in tellige nee and wisdom. Darcy is a pride and kind gentleman with great fortune. Although, they were not attracted by each other at the very beg inning, because they all have somecompla ints about the other, Elizabeth loathes Darcy' s arroganee, and she also has somemisunderstandings on him, Darcy thi nks Elizabeth is a very proud girl, and her families leave an awful impressi on on him. Butat last, they fall in love and have a happy marriage. What cha nges their attitude towards each other? Because the pride and prejudice betwee n them is long gone. They fin ally know each other deeply and accept each other. Their marriage is rooted in their love and respect.Comparing with other marriages in the story, Elizabeth and Darcy ' s marriageis the perfect one. The story reflects the author ' s marriage view: it is wrong to marry justfor the possessi on, I ust and positi on. She emphasizes theimportanee of the ideal marriage that we should marry for love and emotion.Elizabeth and Darcy have a happy ending not only because of their love, but to some extent, Darcy' s property provides them the material need. From this we can see the author ' s views: marriage is based on love, but property and positi on should be take n into acco un t. In moder n society, a lot of people marriage for money and social status, sometimes, it leads to a sad ending.I th ink, no matter whe n, Jane Auste n ' s views on marriage are of great valuein lead ing us to the ideal marriage.My thesis con sists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with thebackground of the society and Jane Austen ' s life experienee, and how does those factors in flue nee her writ in gs; the sec ond chapter reveal the authors views on marriage and the sta ndard of the ideal marriage advocated by Jane Auste n through an alyz ing the characters and their marriage in the story; the last chapter talks about the conditions of the modern marriage and howto found the ideal marriage from the inspiration of Jane Austen ' s view on marriage.2.0 The backgro und of the society and Jane Auste nIn 18th and 19th centuries, the England society ' s had serious social problems. One of the severest of these was the tendency to marry for mon ey.A pers on sought a part ner based on the dowry receivable and their allowa nee.In the 19 th century, women were not well respected compared with the ones inthe prese nt society. There was no equality betwee n woma n and man. Wome n wereconsidered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity. Thecen tral life of wome n was forced to be stay ing at home. Their roles were todeal with the family affairs, such as taking care of the children and serving for the husband. This process went both ways: a beautiful womanmight be able to snag a rich husba nd, or a charri ng and han dsome man could woo a rich young girl. In these marriages, mon eywas the on ly con sideratio n. Love was left out, with the thought that it would develop as the years went by. Jane Austen(December 16, 1775--July 18, 1817), an outstanding female novelist of British, was born in the village of Steve nton, n ear Bas in gstoke, in Hampshire. Her father is the local vicar. She did not have the normal schooling, but she got good education from family's literature teaching. From the end of the 18thcen tury to the early 19th cen tury, “ the sen time nt no vel ” and “ the gothicnovel ” were the themes of English li terature, while Austen made a differentway. Most of her works were about roma ntic love. That might have someth ing to do with her failure in marriage. Jane Austen was unmarried her whole life, but she had fallen in love with a young man. Their love was pure and faithful. However, this young man had to submit to the marriage that his aunt arranged for him, because he was un der lots of burde n from family. Then Jane broke up with him, since she did not want to stand in the way of the young man s future, and also in her opinion, marriage should be based on love. She loved no one else after that. That is the reason why she was unmarried all her life. So she put all her feelings in creating romantic and happy marriages.3.0 Four differe nt marriages in Pride and Prejudice3.1Elizabeth and Darcy ' s marriageOnceMr. Qian Zhongshu has compared marriage to a castle, but I don' t think this marriage theory is suitable for Darcy and Elizabeth. The marriage is tortuous between them but deep-rooted of love based. As weall know, Elizabeth and Darcy left a quite bad impressi on on each other at the beg inning. Elizabeth thinks Darcy is in sole nt and arroga nt, and Darcy does not like Elizabeth because of Elizabeth ' s social class and her indecent relatives. But Darcy fin ally real ized Elizabeth's precious ness, and Elizabeth ' s prejudice and mis un dersta ndings towards Darcy are gone. They deeply in love and possess a won derful marriage at last. Their love and marriage are tortuous and kind of mysterious. I will analysis their marriage start with analyzing the two characters.Elizabeth Bennet is a person who is worth our imitation. She is a model because she is differe nt from the others. She does not adhere rigidly to the sta ndards set forth by society, she is self-relia nt and in depe ndent. She is wit and intelligent. Most of the girls married in pursuit of money and fame at that time, even her best friend Chalotte who married a rich manfor changing her poor conditions. However, Elizabeth is not submit to this moodof society. She would never violate her principle and her integrity. She is like the purelotus that lives in mudbut never contaminated by the dirty. That is the reason why she rejects Mr. Collin's proposal, because she would not marry without love. On the other hand, she does nottotally disregard social costumes. She has good manners; her slight breach of decorum isjustified by walking alone to Nether field Park to visit her sister who is ill with her genuine concern.Shehas good manners. WhenLady Catherine criticizes Elizabeth skill of playing pia no, she can have good manners to keep polite. Mr. Darcy is pride on the surface, but we know he is warm-hearted. He is a good frie nd, he is afraidthat Mr. Bin gley would be cheated and hurt by Jane, although he is proved wrong later. He is a good brother; he takes care of his youn ger sister very well.He is kind; he helps Wickham and Lydia with money even though he was misunderstood by Elizabeth because of Wickham ' s rumors. The two people ' s personalities are clear and sharp. At the first time, Elizabeth and her sistersgo to attend the ball held in Meryton, and she is coldly treated by Darcy, but she uses her healthy sense of humor to joke about Mr. Darcy' s rude behavior at the ball. Darcy is handsome, tall, and intelligent, but not convivial, his in differe nt manners are see n by many as an excessive pride and concern for social status. He makes a poor impressi on on stra ngers, but he is valued by those who know him well. He gradually finds out Elizabeth ' s intelligenee, wisdomand beauty. Hebegins pursuing her. However, at the beginning, Elizabeth rejects his love expressi on, because she does not like him, eve n looks dow n on him though Darcy loves her very much. In Elizabeth ' s eyes, Darcy is arrogant and un reas on able because he is rich and has high social status. Realiz ing that, Darcy beg ins to get rid of those bad habits quietly. Because of Darcy' s perfect behavior and good education, Elizabeth gradually eliminates the prejudice on Darcy. Most importantly, the misunderstanding, prejudice and pride are disappearing as they knoweach other better and better. Then they spontaneously fall in love. So Elizabeth accept Darcy ' s proposal at the second time, thenthey get married and have happy family lives.3.2Jane and Bin gley ' s marriageIn this no vel, the comb in ati on of pleasa nt Bin gley and mild Jane is oneof the most blessed and happy marriages. The couple has similar interests and they insist onpursuing their true love which leads them to a happy and perfect marriage. Mr. Bin gley was a han dsome and gen tlema n with great fortune. As a young man who is well-bred, he was cordial and simple. With this character he never appeared dissatisfied. He is easy to get along and constant in love although he is extremely rich. However he is in short of strength andin depe ndence in his marriage which is a big weak ness of him .In this story, Bingley is popular with almost everybody in everywhere. Jane is the oldest children in her family. She is an amiable and mild girl who possesses the most beautiful appearanee amongher sisters. As an introverted girl, she is faithful in love but lacks stre ngth and self-c on fide nee. She is too shy to profess herlove towards Bin gley, nor admit it, thought she has feeli ngs for Bin gley atthe time they met. Sometimes she is a little innocent. In her eyes, everybody is ni ce. She n ever see through the rotte n side of life eve n she is deceived.Her character is vividly showed in many parts of the novel. So it seems quite natural for Jane to fall in love with the pleasant and simple Bingley. Theymeet each other at the ball, they are attracted by each other at the firstsight, and they dance and talk together. As times goes by, their feelings toeach other are getting stronger. But Jane has no courage to express her love,she buries it in heart and for Bingley, he is not a strong and determined man. This is his adva ntage but also his disadva ntage. His cordial and simple character causes his quiet romanee with Jane. However, his weak and easily-led character causes his departure from Jane. He sudde nly leaves Jane whe n their roma nee goes smoothly, which n early put his pure love and marriage in end.To a great extent, Binley left Jane because of Darcy ' s misunderstandings onJane. They establish a steady and con sta nt frie ndship although they have totally different characters. Darcy wants to help his friend. In his opinion, it is impossible for Jane to love Bin gley. He thi nks Jane love Bi ngley because Bin gley is rich, but Bin gley ' s love for Jane is pure. He does n ' t want hisbest frie nd get hurt. So he persuades Bin gley to stay away from Jane and she is not a good marriage option. But they do love each other.During those days when Jane stays in London at Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner ' s in vitati on, she visits Bin gley ' s sister in pers on in or der to get somein formatio n of Mr. Bin gley. At last, they get together after themisun dersta nding betwee n Elizabeth and Darcy disappears. So the love and marriage between Jane and Bingley is pure and stable. They fall in love at first sight heartily. Their marriage is kind of tortuous just like Elizabeth and Darcy ' s, but the true love won ' t stop them from being together.3.3Chalotte and Collin ' s marriageCharlotte and Colli ns ' s marriage is the most realistic one in the story . Their marriage is based on moneyin stead of love. Charlotte is the best frie nd of Elizabeth, but they are very different in the choice of marriage. Chalotte ' s parents, like the Bennet couple, can ' t give her much fortune,and she is as sen sible and in tellige nt as Elizabeth, but her pursuit forspiritual happ in ess is not as strong as that of Elizabeth. In additi on, Chalotte is a plaingirl who is a little bit prude nt. As a woma n who is 26 years old, her choice of marriage is entirely out of realistic consideration.Whe n she first meets Colli ns, she sees his folly. Whe n he asks her to marry him, she also clearly knows that Colli ns is certa inly not a reas on able pers on.But she immediately says “yes” , because “Marriage has always been her aim, what kind of man she is going to marry as i s less important ”,marrying a rich man can shelter her from sufferi ng poverty. She thi nks money can bring her sense of security. William Colli ns, a man of 29 years old, is Mr. Benn et's dista nt relatives, since Mr. Bennet has no son; Colli ns becomes the heir toBennets' estate. Jane Austen describes him as “not a sensible man, and thedeficie ncy of n ature had bee n but little assisted by educati on or society .In formed that the eldest daughter Jane has a boyfrie nd, he switches his aim at the sec ond daughter Elizabeth, but Elizabeth has no feeli ngs for him, what' s more, Elizabeth gets tired of him. Eventually, she rejects him with sharp ton gue. However, Colli ns quickly seeks comfort fromCharlotte who is desperately in n eed of love from a male and believes marriage is the elega nt way to save a poor girl from sufferi ng, and the n they get married as quickly as the lightning. Such marriage without love is too practical and realistic, so it is a kind of superficial marriage without happ in ess.Marriage is just a task for them, but Colli ns couples get what they want from marriage: Charlotte gets the stability and prosperity of life; Colli ns also gets a warm home. This is how they un dersta nd marriage. There is no loveand same in terests betwee n them; their marriage is based on ben efits. Althoughthey get what they want, marriage without love is not happy and stable.3.4Lydia and Wickham ' s marriageLydia, Benn ett's third daughter, is a simple, frivolous, vanity girl. She is kee n on social n etwork ing at an early age, enjoying con tact ing with Merry'sofficers, and even feels proud of it. “Whenever anyone urg es, she will beput in to anyon e's arms. Her feeli ngs are always kept rolli ng, swing ” . Wickhamis a han dsome, actual moral, luxurious, and treacherous man. At first, he seduces wealthy Miss Darcy, but his con spiracy fails. After joined the regime nt, he first does everyth ing to please Elizabeth, and the n pursues wealthy MissKim, fin ally elopes with Lydia. Then, he gets into debt. So, he n eeds money and becomerich and changes his social status through marriage. For his purpose, he seduces Lydia and wins her love easily, because she is young, innocent and frivolous, and loves to go ease and hates to work hard, and she is also spoiled by her mother. Gett ing love and praise from a man is what she dreams of. So whe n Wickham wan ts to reach his aim —gett ing wealth by lovi ng and exalt ing her beauty hypocritically, she forgets who she is and feels she is the most beautiful and happiest girl in the world. Their love is forbidden by the parents, and then they elope. WhenElizabeth hears the news, she believes that he does not love her but the wealth of her family. The marriage is admitted on the con diti on of Darcy's help. Their marriage is con sidered as a sca ndal toBennett ' s fa mily. But Mrs. Bennet is not shameful of this marriage. The marriage betwee nLydia and Wickham is con diti on al. Thanks to Darcy's help, they get married and continue their lives. This kind of marriage is doomed to be unstable. After marriage, they are extravagant; just enjoy the pleasure at the moment, never considering their future. They always ask Jane or Elizabeth for help, counting on their support to pay bills. Wickham's love for Lydia soon suffer a disastrous decli ne, fin ally he is in differe nee to Lydia. They get what they want: Lydia gets erotic satisfaction; Wickham, he also getsthe wealth; but their marriage is not satisfactory. This is howthey understand marriage.4.0 An alysis and un dersta ndings of the four marriages4.1Perfect marriage based on true loveElizabeth and Darcy ' s marriage is intricate but is the ideal marriage because their love is based on love, they cherish each other, they tolerate each other, and of course after marring Darcy who has great fortune, Elizabeth ' s life and social status are improved, and their marriage gets material security, but at first, Elizabeth refuses the rich man- Mr. Colli ns ' proposal without any hesitation because she does not and will never love him,from Elizabeth ' s perspective, marriage without love wi ll never be happy. Elizabeth has a deep un dersta nding of all the things around her. She has a clear understanding about her own social status. Because of this, she resists extremely aga inst the arroga nee of Darcy, and she tries to protect herself from being hurt by Darcy's in sole nt attitude. She believes that she must make him know that she is not woozy. The ultimate failure wakes Darcy up. He is aware of his own short- comings. He accepts Elizabeth ' s criticism, and faithfully corrects the shortco mings and mistakes. He is no Ion ger arroga nt and has a faithful love with Elizabeth. I remember when the sister asksElizabeth how she would love Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth replies that she should date from the day she see the beautiful lane manor park. The statement seems to refer to the possession of Darcy. In addition to referring to the specific manor, she also refers the new Darcy seen in the garden.Elizabeth is a wise girl; she un dersta nds that marriage invo Ives many factors, such as love, personality, status, property. Among all, love is essential to marriage, which is the author ' s views on marriage that reflected in this no vel. We should take marriage seriously; impulse will destroy some one s happy marriage. Having a clear un dersta nding about the pers onyou are going to marriage is vital. Whether you can live a better life both physically and men tally is importa nt to your marriage. That is to say, allthe factors should be take n in to con siderati on carefully. Those are the reas ons why Elizabeth and Darcy ' s marriage is the perfect one in the story.4.2Happy marriage based on sense and similar in terestsJane and Bin gley ' s marriage is also rooted in pure love, and also theirconcern for each other. It seems that their characters are quite suitable for each other. It seems that only their marriage invo Ives purest love with notint of money at all. Then why is not Bin gley penn iless but a “ young man of large fortune ” ? This arrangement can also reflect author ' s views on marriage. Love is esse ntial for marriage, and money is also plays an importa nt role in marriage. Accord ing to the relati on ship betwee n Bin gley and Jane love and similar interests are also the basic factors of a successful and happy marriage. With many similarities in character people can un dersta nd each other easily.Above all, their un dersta ndings lead to helps and support ing betwee n them.They can live happily together in this way. They don' t care about the shortcomings 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 mi nd fill into the same group ” .4.3Pathetic marriage based on money or ben efitsChalotte and Colli ns ' s marriage is kind of bey ond our expectati ons. Atthat time, a girl from the low class, who has no pretty appearance and goodeducation, takes marriage as the only way to change their situations. JaneAuste n objects this marriage that based on ben efits. Maybelots of people feelpity for the females who lived in that age, but in no time should we makesuch hasty decisionabout our marriage. Manydo play an important role in marriage, but a marriage without love which is just based on money won ' t be pleasant, at last, people will get hurt from the painful marriage. Once I read a storyfrom a magaz ine, a girl from a poor family married a rich man, she almost didnothing rather than shopping and seeking pleasures, she squandered her husband' s money so quickly, later, the man got tired of her, they divorced.The woma n lost the source of mon ey, but she has gotte n used to the luxurious life, she can' t live independently. At last, she tried to blackmail somerich manand ended in jail. This is a tragedy; girls should be independent and marry the person who really loves you just like you love him. So Chalotte andColli ns ' s marriage is doomedto be un happy, Chalotte once said to Elizabeth ,“ I am not romantic, you know; I never was, I ask only a comfortable home;and con sideri ng Mr. Colli ns ' character, conn ecti ons, and situati on in life,I am convin ced that my cha nee of happ in ess with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state. ” (Pride and Prejudice , 144) Therefore, Charlotte seems to have found some kind of satisfaction andhapp in ess in her marriage without any love. It is in terest ing that in sucha marriage based on mon ey-tra nsacti on, the woma n from poor family does marrya single man with a good fortune, but the husband himself has nothing to dowith the enjoyment the marriage bring to her.4.4Absurd marriage based on lust and vanityThe comb in ati on of Lydia and Wickhamis absurd. Her admiratio n to Wickham is entirely up to his “ handsomeface, comely shape and charming talk ” . Their relatio nship is en tirely built on lust and impulse without love foun dati on.Their marriage is neither practical nor romantic. Lydia and Wickham smarriage is built on sex lust and impulse. It is kind of ridiculous. They treat their marriage so carelessly, it is impossible for them to get a happy marriage. Lydia is attracted by Wickham s handsomesurf ace at first. As a flippant girl, she seeks sexual pleasure. Then they make a rashdecision to get married. This marriage is one without love. They don ' t understand the real meaning of marriage; they only want to satisfy their aspiration. So this is a kind of impromptu love and marriage without true love and responsibility.4.5Jane Austen ' s views on marriageAfter reading the novel, we can see that people ' s views on marriage inEn gla nd at that time. In the 18th ce ntury, women on ged for marrying a gen tlema n who possessed con siderable wealth and high social status. Love, seems count for nothing. This was because at that time, women were forbidden from in heriti ng the possessi on. Marring a rich man was their only way to live a decent life after their fath ers ' death. That is the reason why Mrs. Bonnetis crazy to marry her daughters off. However, Austen has her own idea. She also emphasizes love. From her perspective, happy marriage is equal to “ love + wealth + equal social status ” . Marriage should be based on love and trust. People can' t just marry someonefo r whomhe/she has no feelings at all. Austen also points that wealth and social status put great importa nee on marriage.Austen casts her criticism to the dark fact that people ' s attention is onlyon pr operty and high social status. In Austen ' s eyes, marriage without loveis con temptuous. Weknow Elizabeth and Darcy, also Jane and Bin gley, both have a happy marriage. From these two cases, we can find out what kind of marriage Jane Auste n prefers--- love is basic; eno ugh wealth, good behaviors and equalsocial status are all n ecessary. These two examples are exactly the right explanation of Austen' s outlook on marriage. T o draw a conclusion, in thenovel Pride and Prejudice , Austen casts her criticism to people who take wealth and high social states as the only factors in marriage, with neglecting love. She expresses her views on marriage that marriage should be built on love but at the same time should take wealth, characters and social status intocon side ratio n. I thi nk Auste n' s outlooks on marriage are well worth our deepcon siderati on eve n today.。

Through the discussion of the different marriages, she perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. Moreover, she portrayed some reasons for the different marriage concept held by people at that time, in which the low social status of women is the most striking one. Austin thinks that marriage merely for property, money and status is absolutely wrong, but marriage without economic factors is silly. In a word, she is against the marriage for money. She regards love between two people as the basis of an ideal marriage, which breaks the traditional marriage concept and influences people’s idea of marriage nowadays.Key words: Pride and Prejudice; marriage; loveI.Introduction“Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, a country priest family located in Hants, the village of Kingston, Sidemen in north England. She was a beautiful, talented middle class woman with extraordinary temperament and good cultivation. Her six novels---Sense and Sensibility, Pride andPrejudice, Northanger Abbey, Manshifeierde Manor, Emma, Persuasion all describe more than marriage.” (Wang Shouren, 2005, 64) However, her marriage is like a blank paper in her 42 years real lifetime. Going through the finest time, but eventually without meeting a comfortable partner, she gives up her love. Going through the sweet and bitter feeling which helps her to write the great work Pride and Prejudice.“At that time, according to the social conditions in Britain, a good marriage for a young woman was critical. This phenomenon was closely associated with the British society and the status of women in the society. In the 19th century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society. There was no equality between woman and man. Women were considered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity. The central life of women was forced to stay at home, their roles were to deal with the family affairs, such as taking care of the children and serving for the husband.”(Zhu Hong, 1997, 34)People naturally thought that women should be submissive to their husbands. The virtues of women were patient and deferent. They must recognize their inherent inferiority to men, so they must restrict their abilities without conditions. Although the status of women was low, few of them expressed dissatisfaction about their own destiny. At that time, many middle-class young women had three solutions: getting married; staying at home as old maids or working as the family female teachers. The income of family female teacher was very low, and the status was low as well. It was very difficult for them to change or swap out of this status, no one would like to be a maid forever, therefore, in terms of young women, especially those who don’t have enough properties, to get married was the only way for them to gain respect, stability and social status. This idea forms the basis of women’s marriage concept at that time.This novel takes young people’s marriage as the thread and it covers the inheritance of fortune, women’s social status, ethics and customs. Being the masterpiece of Jane Austen, it comes to the extensive favor of literary lovers and experts at the same time. This paper makes an analysis of four marriages in Pride and Prejudice and discusses the influence of Austin’s marriage concept on present marriage.II. Four Marriages in Pride and Prejudice1. Collins and Charlotte’s marriage---marriage based on money or benefitThe first part of Pride and Prejudice tells the marriage of Charlotte and Collins, which is lucky and natural. They get married without any expectation. Charlotte is William Lucas’s daughter, who is the neighbor of Lizzy Bennett. She was born of humble parentage and very mediocre in every aspect. So she has not got married even until she is 26 years old. She may be a typical questionable girl. However, there are 5 daughters in the Bennetts, the five daughters are gradually growing up to the age for marriage. So both of the two families rival mutually, especially in the eyes of the vulgar women, such rivalry was particularly tedious. Bennett’s wife was especially typical; she does not give birth to a boy but five girls. The family’s property couldn’t be given to a daughter according to the custom at that time, and the family without a son can grant the wealth to the nephew. Thus, one of Bennett nephew---Collins can inherit the family wealth. Therefore, Mrs. Bennett has great expectations on her nephew. Though the family is not very rich, he is the final owner of Bonnet family’s wealth. Mrs. Bennett felt at ease about this, and she has great hope on Collins and likes him. Catherine Collins, with the help of one of his relatives, becomes a priest. And then he goes to the home of his uncle, wanting to be home complement of Bennett. Because he has heard a lot about the arrangement of the five golden flowers of his uncle’s family, he is coming to try his luck here. In his mind, if he could be one son-in-low of his uncle’s, then he could get the property of the family. He stays at home for a long time to repay his uncle’s heritage and gets sympathy by the family. Informed that the eldest daughter Jane has a boyfriend, he aims at the second daughter Elizabeth Bennett in spite for his aunt’s interesting sake, Elizabeth has been tired of him. Eventually, she refuses him with sharp tongue. But Collins quickly finds comfort from Charlotte who desires to get love from a male and believes marriage is the elegant way for a girl with some education. Charlotte knows that the marriage without property would eventually move toward disappointment and suffering. Even if the couple loves each other deeply at first, when Collins, known as a social climber, is rejected by Elizabeth, he immediately turns to fall in love with Miss Charlotte. Although Collins is an inborn fool, his love could not move the heart of a woman, Charlotte accepts him, because her purpose is to get married. Almost all the girls born in a poor family without good education always regard marriage as the only decent way, although marriage might not necessarily bring happiness to them. She manages to arrange one of the most reliable way by marriage, thus she would not be exposed to the cold temperatures and suffer hunger in the future. She now gets a storage room. Then they get married as quickly as the lightening. Charlotte is like a rodman catching a fairly plump fish---Collins. But if he doesn’t meet a setback from Elizabeth, a nd theencouragement of Charlotte, I am afraid that he would not be so willing to propose marriage to Charlotte. The man like Bingley who has fairly numerable money need a beautiful wife, the poor man needs a wife with a huge wealth, like Wickham; It was lucky for Charlotte that she could gain the marriage with Collins although their marriage is not happy at all. A mediocre love, a dull marriage has been established effortlessly. Such marriage without love is too practical, so it is a kind of superficial marriage without happiness.In these marriages, it was quite interesting that the women without property really get married with those rich bachelors. However, the happiness brought by marriage to them has not accompanied the husband. In marriage, money is very important. Austin objects such marriage simply based on money. Collins is the heir of Bonnet family; he doesn’t know what love is. He would state some of the inappropriate remarks at any time. Charlotte gets married for money. Eventually she gets nothing more than a rich man, though she has economic security. She doesn’t care about her husband’s accompanying and love. She encourages him to clean up the garden more. She sets his living-room in the small house absent of even a small number of sunshine. When her husband makes gaffe in front of their friends, she ignores and turns a deaf ear. Such arrangement for the story is a perfect irony for “the truth universally acknowledged” at the beginning of the novel. The author expresses great sympathy to the tr agic fate of the women at that time and those who had to marry because of economic restraints by the description of the marriage of Charlotte.2. Lydia and Wickham’s marriage---marriage based on vanity and carelessnessThe second marriage is between Bennet t’s third daughter Lydia and Wickham, the son of the housekeeper. Originally he is well-treated by the family and the friends. However, he comes down in the world because of his misbehavior. He gets into debt. So he wants to get money and become rich and change his social status through marriage, which is a way to approach the talents. He is a man without any responsibility. He does nothing except assailing a woman with obscenities. In his opinion, love is only recreation. For his purpose, he entices Lydia and gets her love easily, because she is young, innocent and vainglorious, and loves to go ease and hates to work hard, and is spoilt by her mother. Getting love and praise of a boy is her dream. So when Wickham wants to reach his aim---getting wealth by love, he exalts her beauty hypocritically. Lydia, impulsive, credulous and blindly following, she forgets who she is and feels she is the most beautiful and happiest girl in the world. Their love does not get the permission from the parents, and then they elope. They spend money without restraint, andthey are unable to make ends meet. When Elizabeth hears the news, she believes that their love is false, Wickham would not marry Lydia, because she is no charming and has nothing to attract him, He does not lov e her but the wealth of her family. The marriage is admitted on the condition of Darcy’s help. For sake of Elizabeth, Darcy gave them a sum of money to let them get out of difficulties. At the same time, this swindler prepares to climb another woman for a sum of money. Their marriage is considered to be a scandal in Bennett’s family. But Mrs. Bennet is not disgraceful to this marriage. When Collins gets the news, of course, he is very angry and reacts to the marriage to revenge his early failure of proposal to her.This marriage is one without love. They don’t know the real meaning of marriage. They only want to satisfy their aspiration. So we can say this is a kind of impromptu love and marriage without true love and responsibility which is doomed to be a tragedy.3. Jane and Mr. Bingley’s marriage---marriage based on same interestsThe third marriage is one of the eldest daughter Jane and Mr. Bingley. Bingley is a friend of Darcy. His sister loves Darcy very much and she expects Bingley to get married with Darcy’s sister Georgiana, because she wants to get love from Darcy in this way, which also reflects her selfishness. The marriage of the able man---Bingley and the beautiful girl---Jane is ideal in most people’s eyes. Bolobbyist, a politician, at the end of the 18th century, said that upbringing was more important than law, because it could promote moral, help to realize moral or ruin moral. Thus it could be concluded that upbringing played very important role in life at that time. On the first ball organized by Mr. Bingley in the Niger Park, Jane---the eldest daughter of the Bonnets’ is favored by the host. But the reserved personality and the standardized qualities make her conceal her true feelings, so she almost loses Bingley, which is also caused by her nest-of-kin’s lap sad conducts. For example, Mrs. Bennet often gives comments on the marriage in public, especially the benefits of the marriage, which almost frightens Bingley away. This good marriage based on a favorite of mutual good impression and true love. Fortunately with the misunderstandings between Elizabeth and Darcy solved, the lovers get married after so many setbacks.4. Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage---marriage based on true loveThe fourth marriage is the main theme of the works. That is D arcy and Elizabeth’s marriage. Elizabeth is the ideal image for women as well as the most charismatic person in the novel. She is Bonnet’s second daughter, an active, intelligent and smart girl. She has a middle-class family background and has not been affected by the formal education belonging to those aristocratic younggirls, so she isn’t good at music and painting, but she has read many books which make her knowledgeable and perceptive. The most important aspect is that she is a lady with dignity and upbringing. Darcy is a man with tall figure and good manner. He is handsome, rich and powerful. So he is the ideal husband of most girls. But he has grown up in the surroundings with strong sense of power, so he always is selfish and arrogant, and he has a critical look at each individual, except the family members., he is not concerned about anyone else, and looks down upon anyone else. Therefore, when he first arrives in the village, he finds all the persons are far away from those imagined. Although every girl there is young and lovely, he has no interest to anyone except Elizabeth. At first he doesn’t put an eye on Elizabeth. Gradually, he has to admit that Elizabeth is beautiful, distinct and popular, although he insists that Elizabeth hasn’t the same soc ial status as him. Darcy is rational because he has a strong sense of power, which agrees on the reality at that time. Although he expresses his love to Elizabeth, he couldn’t help showing his arrogance, which makes Elizabeth have misconception and prejudi ce on Darcy. Darcy considers that he has been lowing himself and doing something against his will, personalities and even moral standard. He thinks that his marriage would certainly succeed and Elizabeth is waiting for him to propose marriage.Therefore, even he is irresistible to the flooding feelings, and condescends to Elizabeth, he still remembers the gap between them. Clearly, the rational aspect of Darcy’s personality performs on the realities of society. When he talks about his feelings of love, he also expresses the arrogance of these feelings in details, which results in the arousing resentment of Elizabeth; she rejects his marriage proposal, and angrily accuses his insolence. The rational aspect of the heroine Elizabeth shows her calm and actually stressful personality. Compared with her stupid mother, the smooth and lazy father, the shallow-minded, self-willed sister with feather head, Elizabeth is one with ideal mind. She is elegant like her sister Jane, but more intellectually superior unlike her sister being easy to be favorable. She also advises her sister to see through the stupidity and nonsense of those camouflage honest persons.Elizabeth is unique, because she has a deep understanding of all the things around her. In fact both she and Darcy are extremely sensitive to the social status. Different from Darcy, Elizabeth doesn’t have superiority about her family background and status. Instead, she feels deeply ashamed for her sister’s being lack of fairly education and her mother’s rudeness and stupidity. Compared with her moderate and generous sister Jane, she is smarter and even more profound. She has a clear understanding about her own social status, which is due to the psychotically sedimentary deposits because she is in aninferior position for long time. Because of this, she resists extremely against the arrogance of Darcy, and she tries her best to protect herself from being hurt by Darcy’s commanding attitude. She believes that she must make him understand that she is not woozy, which reflects her belief to deal with the emotional entanglements with Darcy, as well as her constant patter with Darcy and the prejudice on Darcy. It superficially seems to be shared by the traditional psychological requirement that everyone needs to be respected mutually. Mutually speaking, this is another form of expression about the awareness of status. Perhaps, to some extent, Darcy has more romantic temperament than Elizabeth, it is because he is better positioned than her. Elizabeth refuses the stupid priest Collins and challenges wealthy Darcy, all of this is actually the resistance of the prevailing marriage at that time. The ultimate failure makes Darcy wake up. He is aware of his own short-comings. He accepts Elizabeth’s criticism, and faithfully corrects the shortcomings and mistakes. He is no longer arrogant and has a real love with Elizabeth.With the revealing of the truth, Elizabeth’s prejudice on Darcy becomes deeper. Until when Elizabeth refuses Darcy’s long love letter, she experiences the fierce sh ock. After undergoing a period of painful and profound thought, she could not help but to shout how despicable she is, she believes she is the excellent one in the family, she is skillful and always despises her sister’s dress. In order to satisfy her own vanity, she always treats people with an irrelevant suspicion and confusion. How shameful it is! But this shame serves her right. Even if she really falls in love with someone, she should not be so blind to meet this flunking stage. She is stupid not only in love, but in the vanity. When she first knows them two, one loves her and makes her feel happy, and the other treats her in a cold manner, which makes her angry. All these cause her prejudice and ignorance, when she encounters their affairs. She would not be able to distinguish the right and the wrong. She could be considered to be knowledgeable at last.When we see the blame from heart, we find her shortcomings and the courage that she could face herself directly. It is her bringing that plays a role; she starts to give up the bias caused by self-esteem, truly and seriously understand Darcy. Elizabeth wouldn’t believe the shameless lies about Darcy said by Han and eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice. She finally falls in love with Darcy. When the sister asks how she would love Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth replies that she should date from the day she sees the beautiful lane manor park. The statement seems to refer to the property of Darcy. Therefore, Jane doesn’t want the sisters to be kidding. In additi on to referring to the specific manor, she also refers thenew Darcy seen in the garden. In other words, Darcy changes the attitude of being arrogant and rude, and this is the reason why Darcy wins Elizabeth’s heart and love.III. Influence of Austin’s Marriage Concept on Marriage Today1.Woman’s social status in Austin’s age and Austin’s marriage conceptMarriage is the central topic in Pride and Prejudice. From the analysis of the marriages, we can see that wealth is the decisive factor of marriage to the female at that time while the major factor of influencing concepts of marriage is women’s social status. In the novel, Austen portrays the women’s low status and the reasons for it. Pride and Prejudice is also a sharp and witty comedy of manners played out in early 19th century English society, a world in which men held virtually all the power and women were required to negotiate mine-fields of social status, respectability, property, and marriage.In a letter Austen wrote to Fanny in 1817, she wrote, “sing le women have a dreadful propensity for being poor---which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.”(Gillie, 2005, 98) We get a somber impression of the women in Jane Austen’s lifetime, with fairly rare exceptions, only two professions were open to opportunities and enormous risks, and the latter was arduous, penurious, and little respected. There were also, of course, literature and journalism, but they seldom afforded a stable livelihood. Having a private income, happy matrimony was the only way of life in which middle-and upper-class women could normally hope to find themselves satisfied, esteemed, and secured. The women, in a lower status, in order to live, she has to depend on the marriage or the men, except that she is a rich woman, who owns a large fortune. In that case, it is unnecessary for her to depend on marriage. If it is not in that case, girls must find a rich man to be married. The single women must have their own ways to live on their own. “It is a truth universally acknowledged tha t a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife.” (Austen, 2003, 1) This is not a truth, in reverse, it is a truth that a poor woman without fortune is in want of a man in possession of a large fortune. The reason is that she has to live, but she cannot live by her own. Therefore, the ladies take advantage of their beauties and good manners to attract men.In this novel Austen concentrates on women’s fate most. Through her characters’ process of courtship and marriage, Austen shows social background behind their marriage and what low status women have suffered. In Pride and Prejudice, generally the only way for a woman is to get married besides being spinsterhood or governess. To marry a rich and high status man, is a path for the young women to gaining financial security and social status. The novel portrays life in the middle class ruralsociety of the day, and tells the initial misunderstanding and later mutual enlightenment between Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy. They gradually dispel their prejudice and constitute a happy marriage. Here Austen shows the power of love and happiness to overcome class boundaries and prejudice, thereby implying that women should strive for their own love and happiness, but not to according to the social will.However, behind the happy marriage of Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy, Austen mainly wants to show that property, social status still play the most important roles in a marriage, from which women suffered a lot. No right of inheritance, such is particularly the case of the Bennets, a family of five daughters whose father’s estate is entailed to a distant relative, for upon Mr. Bennet’s death they will loose home, land, and income, everything else. After knowing Elizabeth’s refusal to Mr. Collins, Mrs. Ben net threats her daughter that“if you go on refusing every marriage, you will never get a husband, and I am sure I do not know who is to maintain you when your father died.”(Austin, 2003, 150) So it is illustrated that property and social status are more important than marriage. Marriage is an odd phenomenon and it is just an approach, which people could reach their aims and provides them convenience. Austen describes Charlotte’s marriage as a symbol, through which Austen shows the readers what low status w omen hold.Through Pride and Prejudice, Austen portrays the commonly held views on the characters’ marriage. Society, at that time, put a significant value on property and social status, and women in such a society, with their privileges tightly limited, had no chance to develop their personalities and their characters were fettered by the society. There were no centrally organized systems of state---supported schools, and some local grammar schools did exist but did not admit girls. So women’s education be came impossible, and they didn’t have careers, but society required little for their use of knowledge and gave little chance for them to use knowledge. They were denied the possibility of improving their status or gaining their financial security through hard work or personal achievements. They were mostly estimated by others through their property and social status.Therefore, in Pride and Prejudice, marriage is one of the most ideal ways, in which women could gain reputation, wealth and raise their social status. Just as the character Charlotte Lucas in the novel, without thinking highly either of men or matrimony, her life goal is marriage. When proposing and being rejected by Elizabeth, Mr. Collins quickly transfers his attention towards Charlotte Lucas, and he could not possibly be in love with Charlotte, for only three days before he had proposed Elizabeth. YetCharlotte knows the fact that the man she will marry has no attachment to her, just for the will of marrying, but she pays no attention to it. She marries Mr. Collins for the purpose other than love, so she doesn’t care about whether there is love in their marriage. Just as Charlotte says to her fiend “I am not romantic, you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Co llins’s character, connections, and situations in life…” she accepts Mr. Collins’s proposal. Austen portrays that Charlotte’s marriage to Collins is a monetary trade. Charlotte marries Collins primarily because he will be able to provide her enough livelihoods and will be able to make her life quite easy by considering estate. So she thinks that the tolerable Collins’s proposing to her is an extremely good fortune for her since he earns his money through inheritance and is in the command of the wealthy lady Catherine. In other words, Charlotte marries Collins not because of love but because of her desire for financial security and raising her social status. Facing the practicality, she would have sacrificed every better feeling to worldly advantages. After their marriage, Charlotte has to endure her intolerable husband.In the novel, Austen also criticizes the marriage concept women held at that time. In terms of marriage, women thought they had no high social status and had no large property, so they thought that marriage was an acceptable path to his high status or their economic safety according to the view of the society. They never thought that they could earn their life and their marriage, which belonged to themselves but not to the social value. They just considered if they could completely integrate into the society and accepted the twisted monetary view and marriage view, and played the roles that the society needed, they could gain their happiness and easy life. Thus, they dressed themselves and were willing to transform themselves into commodities, appearing in kinds of balls, in order to attract men.Although women were forced under the social prejudice, they tried no struggle. They were willing to believe that marriage was a form of trade and in the marriage market they could be given happiness. Facing social prejudice, they also had the consciousness of being humble, thinking that the male was the superiority, and women had to surrender to the society, was seemed to more easily to them. In the novel, Austen demonstrates that women should strive for their own life and marriage, be self-confident and get rid of the illiberal mind, not ruin any chance to realize the value, dignity, personality of theirs. Elizabeth is the best example, although she sometimes shows her pride, she is an admirable, wit, brilliant, and self-confident woman, who conquers many difficulties and at last she gains the true love with Darcy. As for Charlotte, she also could have tried to find somebody she really loves and gets married, like her。

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.

Although she was unmarried the whole life, the theme of her novels were love and marriage, basically, the love and marriage between a gentleman and a fairy lady. Her best-known works are Emma1815), Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Sense and Sensibility (1811).The novel talks about four different marriages: Collin and Challote ' s marriage which is based on money; Lydia and Wickham s marriage which is based on lust; Jane and Bin gley ' s marriage which is based on sen se, Elizabeth and Darcy' s marriage which is basedon love. Which weighs the most in marriage, love, possessi on, or social status? Jane Auste n has differe nt attitude and descripti on about the four marriages. The first sentence in this no vel is impressive. It says: “ It is a truth uni versally ack no wledged that a sin glemanin possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. ” The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not love but possessi on, but Jane Auste n tells us a differe nt story.The main story of this no vel happe ns betwee n Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy. Elizabeth Bennet is a 20-year-old young lady. She is her father's favourite daughter and in herits his in tellige nee and wisdom. Darcy is a pride and kind gentleman with great fortune. Although, they were not attracted by each other at the very beg inning, because they all have somecompla ints about the other, Elizabeth loathes Darcy' s arroganee, and she also has somemisunderstandings on him, Darcy thi nks Elizabeth is a very proud girl, and her families leave an awful impressi on on him. Butat last, they fall in love and have a happy marriage. What cha nges their attitude towards each other? Because the pride and prejudice betwee n them is long gone. They fin ally know each other deeply and accept each other. Their marriage is rooted in their love and respect.Comparing with other marriages in the story, Elizabeth and Darcy ' s marriageis the perfect one. The story reflects the author ' s marriage view: it is wrong to marry justfor the possessi on, I ust and positi on. She emphasizes theimportanee of the ideal marriage that we should marry for love and emotion.Elizabeth and Darcy have a happy ending not only because of their love, but to some extent, Darcy' s property provides them the material need. From this we can see the author ' s views: marriage is based on love, but property and positi on should be take n into acco un t. In moder n society, a lot of people marriage for money and social status, sometimes, it leads to a sad ending.I th ink, no matter whe n, Jane Auste n ' s views on marriage are of great valuein lead ing us to the ideal marriage.My thesis con sists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with thebackground of the society and Jane Austen ' s life experienee, and how does those factors in flue nee her writ in gs; the sec ond chapter reveal the authors views on marriage and the sta ndard of the ideal marriage advocated by Jane Auste n through an alyz ing the characters and their marriage in the story; the last chapter talks about the conditions of the modern marriage and howto found the ideal marriage from the inspiration of Jane Austen ' s view on marriage.2.0 The backgro und of the society and Jane Auste nIn 18th and 19th centuries, the England society ' s had serious social problems. One of the severest of these was the tendency to marry for mon ey.A pers on sought a part ner based on the dowry receivable and their allowa nee.In the 19 th century, women were not well respected compared with the ones inthe prese nt society. There was no equality betwee n woma n and man. Wome n wereconsidered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity. Thecen tral life of wome n was forced to be stay ing at home. Their roles were todeal with the family affairs, such as taking care of the children and serving for the husband. This process went both ways: a beautiful womanmight be able to snag a rich husba nd, or a charri ng and han dsome man could woo a rich young girl. In these marriages, mon eywas the on ly con sideratio n. Love was left out, with the thought that it would develop as the years went by. Jane Austen(December 16, 1775--July 18, 1817), an outstanding female novelist of British, was born in the village of Steve nton, n ear Bas in gstoke, in Hampshire. Her father is the local vicar. She did not have the normal schooling, but she got good education from family's literature teaching. From the end of the 18thcen tury to the early 19th cen tury, “ the sen time nt no vel ” and “ the gothicnovel ” were the themes of English li terature, while Austen made a differentway. Most of her works were about roma ntic love. That might have someth ing to do with her failure in marriage. Jane Austen was unmarried her whole life, but she had fallen in love with a young man. Their love was pure and faithful. However, this young man had to submit to the marriage that his aunt arranged for him, because he was un der lots of burde n from family. Then Jane broke up with him, since she did not want to stand in the way of the young man s future, and also in her opinion, marriage should be based on love. She loved no one else after that. That is the reason why she was unmarried all her life. So she put all her feelings in creating romantic and happy marriages.3.0 Four differe nt marriages in Pride and Prejudice3.1Elizabeth and Darcy ' s marriageOnceMr. Qian Zhongshu has compared marriage to a castle, but I don' t think this marriage theory is suitable for Darcy and Elizabeth. The marriage is tortuous between them but deep-rooted of love based. As weall know, Elizabeth and Darcy left a quite bad impressi on on each other at the beg inning. Elizabeth thinks Darcy is in sole nt and arroga nt, and Darcy does not like Elizabeth because of Elizabeth ' s social class and her indecent relatives. But Darcy fin ally real ized Elizabeth's precious ness, and Elizabeth ' s prejudice and mis un dersta ndings towards Darcy are gone. They deeply in love and possess a won derful marriage at last. Their love and marriage are tortuous and kind of mysterious. I will analysis their marriage start with analyzing the two characters.Elizabeth Bennet is a person who is worth our imitation. She is a model because she is differe nt from the others. She does not adhere rigidly to the sta ndards set forth by society, she is self-relia nt and in depe ndent. She is wit and intelligent. Most of the girls married in pursuit of money and fame at that time, even her best friend Chalotte who married a rich manfor changing her poor conditions. However, Elizabeth is not submit to this moodof society. She would never violate her principle and her integrity. She is like the purelotus that lives in mudbut never contaminated by the dirty. That is the reason why she rejects Mr. Collin's proposal, because she would not marry without love. On the other hand, she does nottotally disregard social costumes. She has good manners; her slight breach of decorum isjustified by walking alone to Nether field Park to visit her sister who is ill with her genuine concern.Shehas good manners. WhenLady Catherine criticizes Elizabeth skill of playing pia no, she can have good manners to keep polite. Mr. Darcy is pride on the surface, but we know he is warm-hearted. He is a good frie nd, he is afraidthat Mr. Bin gley would be cheated and hurt by Jane, although he is proved wrong later. He is a good brother; he takes care of his youn ger sister very well.He is kind; he helps Wickham and Lydia with money even though he was misunderstood by Elizabeth because of Wickham ' s rumors. The two people ' s personalities are clear and sharp. At the first time, Elizabeth and her sistersgo to attend the ball held in Meryton, and she is coldly treated by Darcy, but she uses her healthy sense of humor to joke about Mr. Darcy' s rude behavior at the ball. Darcy is handsome, tall, and intelligent, but not convivial, his in differe nt manners are see n by many as an excessive pride and concern for social status. He makes a poor impressi on on stra ngers, but he is valued by those who know him well. He gradually finds out Elizabeth ' s intelligenee, wisdomand beauty. Hebegins pursuing her. However, at the beginning, Elizabeth rejects his love expressi on, because she does not like him, eve n looks dow n on him though Darcy loves her very much. In Elizabeth ' s eyes, Darcy is arrogant and un reas on able because he is rich and has high social status. Realiz ing that, Darcy beg ins to get rid of those bad habits quietly. Because of Darcy' s perfect behavior and good education, Elizabeth gradually eliminates the prejudice on Darcy. Most importantly, the misunderstanding, prejudice and pride are disappearing as they knoweach other better and better. Then they spontaneously fall in love. So Elizabeth accept Darcy ' s proposal at the second time, thenthey get married and have happy family lives.3.2Jane and Bin gley ' s marriageIn this no vel, the comb in ati on of pleasa nt Bin gley and mild Jane is oneof the most blessed and happy marriages. The couple has similar interests and they insist onpursuing their true love which leads them to a happy and perfect marriage. Mr. Bin gley was a han dsome and gen tlema n with great fortune. As a young man who is well-bred, he was cordial and simple. With this character he never appeared dissatisfied. He is easy to get along and constant in love although he is extremely rich. However he is in short of strength andin depe ndence in his marriage which is a big weak ness of him .In this story, Bingley is popular with almost everybody in everywhere. Jane is the oldest children in her family. She is an amiable and mild girl who possesses the most beautiful appearanee amongher sisters. As an introverted girl, she is faithful in love but lacks stre ngth and self-c on fide nee. She is too shy to profess herlove towards Bin gley, nor admit it, thought she has feeli ngs for Bin gley atthe time they met. Sometimes she is a little innocent. In her eyes, everybody is ni ce. She n ever see through the rotte n side of life eve n she is deceived.Her character is vividly showed in many parts of the novel. So it seems quite natural for Jane to fall in love with the pleasant and simple Bingley. Theymeet each other at the ball, they are attracted by each other at the firstsight, and they dance and talk together. As times goes by, their feelings toeach other are getting stronger. But Jane has no courage to express her love,she buries it in heart and for Bingley, he is not a strong and determined man. This is his adva ntage but also his disadva ntage. His cordial and simple character causes his quiet romanee with Jane. However, his weak and easily-led character causes his departure from Jane. He sudde nly leaves Jane whe n their roma nee goes smoothly, which n early put his pure love and marriage in end.To a great extent, Binley left Jane because of Darcy ' s misunderstandings onJane. They establish a steady and con sta nt frie ndship although they have totally different characters. Darcy wants to help his friend. In his opinion, it is impossible for Jane to love Bin gley. He thi nks Jane love Bi ngley because Bin gley is rich, but Bin gley ' s love for Jane is pure. He does n ' t want hisbest frie nd get hurt. So he persuades Bin gley to stay away from Jane and she is not a good marriage option. But they do love each other.During those days when Jane stays in London at Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner ' s in vitati on, she visits Bin gley ' s sister in pers on in or der to get somein formatio n of Mr. Bin gley. At last, they get together after themisun dersta nding betwee n Elizabeth and Darcy disappears. So the love and marriage between Jane and Bingley is pure and stable. They fall in love at first sight heartily. Their marriage is kind of tortuous just like Elizabeth and Darcy ' s, but the true love won ' t stop them from being together.3.3Chalotte and Collin ' s marriageCharlotte and Colli ns ' s marriage is the most realistic one in the story . Their marriage is based on moneyin stead of love. Charlotte is the best frie nd of Elizabeth, but they are very different in the choice of marriage. Chalotte ' s parents, like the Bennet couple, can ' t give her much fortune,and she is as sen sible and in tellige nt as Elizabeth, but her pursuit forspiritual happ in ess is not as strong as that of Elizabeth. In additi on, Chalotte is a plaingirl who is a little bit prude nt. As a woma n who is 26 years old, her choice of marriage is entirely out of realistic consideration.Whe n she first meets Colli ns, she sees his folly. Whe n he asks her to marry him, she also clearly knows that Colli ns is certa inly not a reas on able pers on.But she immediately says “yes” , because “Marriage has always been her aim, what kind of man she is going to marry as i s less important ”,marrying a rich man can shelter her from sufferi ng poverty. She thi nks money can bring her sense of security. William Colli ns, a man of 29 years old, is Mr. Benn et's dista nt relatives, since Mr. Bennet has no son; Colli ns becomes the heir toBennets' estate. Jane Austen describes him as “not a sensible man, and thedeficie ncy of n ature had bee n but little assisted by educati on or society .In formed that the eldest daughter Jane has a boyfrie nd, he switches his aim at the sec ond daughter Elizabeth, but Elizabeth has no feeli ngs for him, what' s more, Elizabeth gets tired of him. Eventually, she rejects him with sharp ton gue. However, Colli ns quickly seeks comfort fromCharlotte who is desperately in n eed of love from a male and believes marriage is the elega nt way to save a poor girl from sufferi ng, and the n they get married as quickly as the lightning. Such marriage without love is too practical and realistic, so it is a kind of superficial marriage without happ in ess.Marriage is just a task for them, but Colli ns couples get what they want from marriage: Charlotte gets the stability and prosperity of life; Colli ns also gets a warm home. This is how they un dersta nd marriage. There is no loveand same in terests betwee n them; their marriage is based on ben efits. Althoughthey get what they want, marriage without love is not happy and stable.3.4Lydia and Wickham ' s marriageLydia, Benn ett's third daughter, is a simple, frivolous, vanity girl. She is kee n on social n etwork ing at an early age, enjoying con tact ing with Merry'sofficers, and even feels proud of it. “Whenever anyone urg es, she will beput in to anyon e's arms. Her feeli ngs are always kept rolli ng, swing ” . Wickhamis a han dsome, actual moral, luxurious, and treacherous man. At first, he seduces wealthy Miss Darcy, but his con spiracy fails. After joined the regime nt, he first does everyth ing to please Elizabeth, and the n pursues wealthy MissKim, fin ally elopes with Lydia. Then, he gets into debt. So, he n eeds money and becomerich and changes his social status through marriage. For his purpose, he seduces Lydia and wins her love easily, because she is young, innocent and frivolous, and loves to go ease and hates to work hard, and she is also spoiled by her mother. Gett ing love and praise from a man is what she dreams of. So whe n Wickham wan ts to reach his aim —gett ing wealth by lovi ng and exalt ing her beauty hypocritically, she forgets who she is and feels she is the most beautiful and happiest girl in the world. Their love is forbidden by the parents, and then they elope. WhenElizabeth hears the news, she believes that he does not love her but the wealth of her family. The marriage is admitted on the con diti on of Darcy's help. Their marriage is con sidered as a sca ndal toBennett ' s fa mily. But Mrs. Bennet is not shameful of this marriage. The marriage betwee nLydia and Wickham is con diti on al. Thanks to Darcy's help, they get married and continue their lives. This kind of marriage is doomed to be unstable. After marriage, they are extravagant; just enjoy the pleasure at the moment, never considering their future. They always ask Jane or Elizabeth for help, counting on their support to pay bills. Wickham's love for Lydia soon suffer a disastrous decli ne, fin ally he is in differe nee to Lydia. They get what they want: Lydia gets erotic satisfaction; Wickham, he also getsthe wealth; but their marriage is not satisfactory. This is howthey understand marriage.4.0 An alysis and un dersta ndings of the four marriages4.1Perfect marriage based on true loveElizabeth and Darcy ' s marriage is intricate but is the ideal marriage because their love is based on love, they cherish each other, they tolerate each other, and of course after marring Darcy who has great fortune, Elizabeth ' s life and social status are improved, and their marriage gets material security, but at first, Elizabeth refuses the rich man- Mr. Colli ns ' proposal without any hesitation because she does not and will never love him,from Elizabeth ' s perspective, marriage without love wi ll never be happy. Elizabeth has a deep un dersta nding of all the things around her. She has a clear understanding about her own social status. Because of this, she resists extremely aga inst the arroga nee of Darcy, and she tries to protect herself from being hurt by Darcy's in sole nt attitude. She believes that she must make him know that she is not woozy. The ultimate failure wakes Darcy up. He is aware of his own short- comings. He accepts Elizabeth ' s criticism, and faithfully corrects the shortco mings and mistakes. He is no Ion ger arroga nt and has a faithful love with Elizabeth. I remember when the sister asksElizabeth how she would love Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth replies that she should date from the day she see the beautiful lane manor park. The statement seems to refer to the possession of Darcy. In addition to referring to the specific manor, she also refers the new Darcy seen in the garden.Elizabeth is a wise girl; she un dersta nds that marriage invo Ives many factors, such as love, personality, status, property. Among all, love is essential to marriage, which is the author ' s views on marriage that reflected in this no vel. We should take marriage seriously; impulse will destroy some one s happy marriage. Having a clear un dersta nding about the pers onyou are going to marriage is vital. Whether you can live a better life both physically and men tally is importa nt to your marriage. That is to say, allthe factors should be take n in to con siderati on carefully. Those are the reas ons why Elizabeth and Darcy ' s marriage is the perfect one in the story.4.2Happy marriage based on sense and similar in terestsJane and Bin gley ' s marriage is also rooted in pure love, and also theirconcern for each other. It seems that their characters are quite suitable for each other. It seems that only their marriage invo Ives purest love with notint of money at all. Then why is not Bin gley penn iless but a “ young man of large fortune ” ? This arrangement can also reflect author ' s views on marriage. Love is esse ntial for marriage, and money is also plays an importa nt role in marriage. Accord ing to the relati on ship betwee n Bin gley and Jane love and similar interests are also the basic factors of a successful and happy marriage. With many similarities in character people can un dersta nd each other easily.Above all, their un dersta ndings lead to helps and support ing betwee n them.They can live happily together in this way. They don' t care about the shortcomings 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 mi nd fill into the same group ” .4.3Pathetic marriage based on money or ben efitsChalotte and Colli ns ' s marriage is kind of bey ond our expectati ons. Atthat time, a girl from the low class, who has no pretty appearance and goodeducation, takes marriage as the only way to change their situations. JaneAuste n objects this marriage that based on ben efits. Maybelots of people feelpity for the females who lived in that age, but in no time should we makesuch hasty decisionabout our marriage. Manydo play an important role in marriage, but a marriage without love which is just based on money won ' t be pleasant, at last, people will get hurt from the painful marriage. Once I read a storyfrom a magaz ine, a girl from a poor family married a rich man, she almost didnothing rather than shopping and seeking pleasures, she squandered her husband' s money so quickly, later, the man got tired of her, they divorced.The woma n lost the source of mon ey, but she has gotte n used to the luxurious life, she can' t live independently. At last, she tried to blackmail somerich manand ended in jail. This is a tragedy; girls should be independent and marry the person who really loves you just like you love him. So Chalotte andColli ns ' s marriage is doomedto be un happy, Chalotte once said to Elizabeth ,“ I am not romantic, you know; I never was, I ask only a comfortable home;and con sideri ng Mr. Colli ns ' character, conn ecti ons, and situati on in life,I am convin ced that my cha nee of happ in ess with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state. ” (Pride and Prejudice , 144) Therefore, Charlotte seems to have found some kind of satisfaction andhapp in ess in her marriage without any love. It is in terest ing that in sucha marriage based on mon ey-tra nsacti on, the woma n from poor family does marrya single man with a good fortune, but the husband himself has nothing to dowith the enjoyment the marriage bring to her.4.4Absurd marriage based on lust and vanityThe comb in ati on of Lydia and Wickhamis absurd. Her admiratio n to Wickham is entirely up to his “ handsomeface, comely shape and charming talk ” . Their relatio nship is en tirely built on lust and impulse without love foun dati on.Their marriage is neither practical nor romantic. Lydia and Wickham smarriage is built on sex lust and impulse. It is kind of ridiculous. They treat their marriage so carelessly, it is impossible for them to get a happy marriage. Lydia is attracted by Wickham s handsomesurf ace at first. As a flippant girl, she seeks sexual pleasure. Then they make a rashdecision to get married. This marriage is one without love. They don ' t understand the real meaning of marriage; they only want to satisfy their aspiration. So this is a kind of impromptu love and marriage without true love and responsibility.4.5Jane Austen ' s views on marriageAfter reading the novel, we can see that people ' s views on marriage inEn gla nd at that time. In the 18th ce ntury, women on ged for marrying a gen tlema n who possessed con siderable wealth and high social status. Love, seems count for nothing. This was because at that time, women were forbidden from in heriti ng the possessi on. Marring a rich man was their only way to live a decent life after their fath ers ' death. That is the reason why Mrs. Bonnetis crazy to marry her daughters off. However, Austen has her own idea. She also emphasizes love. From her perspective, happy marriage is equal to “ love + wealth + equal social status ” . Marriage should be based on love and trust. People can' t just marry someonefo r whomhe/she has no feelings at all. Austen also points that wealth and social status put great importa nee on marriage.Austen casts her criticism to the dark fact that people ' s attention is onlyon pr operty and high social status. In Austen ' s eyes, marriage without loveis con temptuous. Weknow Elizabeth and Darcy, also Jane and Bin gley, both have a happy marriage. From these two cases, we can find out what kind of marriage Jane Auste n prefers--- love is basic; eno ugh wealth, good behaviors and equalsocial status are all n ecessary. These two examples are exactly the right explanation of Austen' s outlook on marriage. T o draw a conclusion, in thenovel Pride and Prejudice , Austen casts her criticism to people who take wealth and high social states as the only factors in marriage, with neglecting love. She expresses her views on marriage that marriage should be built on love but at the same time should take wealth, characters and social status intocon side ratio n. I thi nk Auste n' s outlooks on marriage are well worth our deepcon siderati on eve n today.。
从《傲慢与偏见》透视简奥斯丁的婚姻观基于经济学理论的分析
而达西则是一位优秀的男性形象,他虽然出身贵族,但却不是那种傲慢的贵 族,而是一个善良、聪明且有责任感的人。他对伊丽莎白的爱情跨越了阶级和偏 见,是真心实意的。他在向伊丽莎白求婚时,并没有被她的社会地位所束缚,这 也体现了奥斯汀对爱情超越物质和地位的观点。
在《傲慢与偏见》中,奥斯汀通过伊丽莎白和达西的爱情故事,表达了她对 婚姻的独特见解。她认为,婚姻不应该仅仅是为了满足物质需求或社会地位的追 求,而是应该建立在相互尊重、理解和爱情的基础上。她强调了个人自主选择的 重要性,以及婚姻应该是一个基于平等和尊重的过程。
其次,简奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》中强调了爱情在婚姻中的重要性。她认为, 爱情是婚姻最基础的情感需求,只有基于爱情的婚姻才能真正幸福。在小说中, 伊丽莎白和达西的爱情故事是全书的核心。尽管达西在初次登场时显得傲慢和自 大,但伊丽莎白通过深入了解他,逐渐发现了他内敛而深沉的魅力。
简奥斯汀通过这一对人物的爱情故事告诉读者:只有在深入了解对方之后, 才能真正爱上一个人。这种爱情观不仅突破了社会阶级的限制,也超越了物质利 益的考虑。
此外,简奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》中强调了独立女性的价值。她将伊丽莎白 塑造成一个聪明、独立、有才华的女性形象,并赋予她勇敢追求自己幸福的能力。 伊丽莎白不仅仅是一个美丽的女儿,她更是一个有着独立思考能力和独立经济能 力的独立女性。这种女性形象在当时的社会中是相当罕见的,因为大多数女性依 赖于男性来提供经济支持。然而,简奥斯汀通过伊丽莎白的形象,向读者展示了 女性的独立和自强的重要性。
再者,《傲慢与偏见》揭示了婚姻中的机会成本问题。在小说中,夏洛 特·科林斯选择了柯林斯牧师作为丈夫,虽然他并不富有,但在当时的社会环境 下,他具有稳定的社会地位和经济保障。对于夏洛特来说,嫁给柯林斯虽然不是 最优的选择,但却是考虑到各种机会成本后的合适选择。这恰好符合了经济学中 的机会成本原理,即在做决策时,需要考虑所放弃的其他可能性。

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。

Although she was unmarried the whole life, the theme of her novels were love and marriage, basically, the love and marriage between a gentleman and a fairy lady. Her best-known works are Emma (1815), Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Sense and Sensibility (1811).The novel talks about four different marriages: Collin and Challote’s marriage which is based on money; Lydia and Wickham’s marriage which is based on lust; Jane and Bingley’s marriage which is based on sense, Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage which is based on love. Which weighs the most in marriage, love, possession, or social status? Jane Austen has different attitude and description about the four marriages. The first sentence in this novel is impressive. It says: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not love but possession, but Jane Austen tells us a different story.The main story of this novel happens between Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy. Elizabeth Bennet is a 20-year-old young lady. She is her father's favourite daughter and inherits his intelligence and wisdom. Darcy is a pride and kind gentleman with great fortune. Although, they were not attracted by each other at the very beginning, because they all have some complaints about the other, Elizabeth loathes Darcy’s arrogance, and she also has some misunderstandings on him, Darcy thinks Elizabeth is a very proud girl, and her families leave an awful impression on him. But at last, they fall in love and have a happy marriage. What changes their attitude towards each other? Because the pride and prejudice between them is long gone. They finally know each other deeply and accept each other. Their marriage is rooted in their love and respect. Comparing with other marriages in the story, Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is the perfect one. The story reflects the author’s marriage view: it is wrong to marry just for the possession, lust and position. She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage that we should marry for love and emotion.Elizabeth and Darcy have a happy ending not only because of their love, but to some extent, Darcy’s property provides them the material need. From this we can see the author’s views: marriage is based on love, but property and position should be taken into account. In modern society, a lot of people marriage for money and social status, sometimes, it leads to a sad ending. I think, no matter when, Jane Austen’s views on marriage are of great value in leading us to the ideal marriage.My thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with the background of the society and Jane Austen’s life experience, and how does those factors influence her writings; the second chapter reveal the authors views on marriage and the standard of the ideal marriage advocated by Jane Austen through analyzing the characters and their marriage in the story; the last chapter talks about the conditions of the modern marriage and how to found the ideal marriage from the inspiration of Jane Austen’s view on marriage.2.0 The background of the society and Jane AustenIn 18th and 19th centuries, the England society’s had serious social problems. One of the severest of these was the tendency to marry for money. A person sought a partner based on the dowry receivable and their allowance. In the 19th century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society. There was no equality between woman and man. Women were considered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity. The central life of women was forced to be staying at home. Their roles were to deal with the family affairs, such as taking care of the children and serving for the husband. This process went both ways: a beautiful woman might be able to snag a rich husband, or a charring and handsome man could woo a rich young girl. In these marriages, money was the only consideration. Love was left out, with the thought that it would develop as the years went by. Jane Austen (December 16, 1775--July 18, 1817), an outstanding female novelist of British, was born in the village of Steventon, near Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Her father is the local vicar. She did not have the normal schooling, but she got good education from family's literature teaching. From the end of the 18th century to the early 19th century, “the sentiment novel” and “the gothic novel” were the themes of Englishliterature, while Austen made a different way. Most of her works were about romantic love. That might have something to do with her failure in marriage. Jane Austen was unmarried her whole life, but she had fallen in love with a young man. Their love was pure and faithful. However, this young man had to submit to the marriage that his aunt arranged for him, because he was under lots of burden from family. Then Jane broke up with him, since she did not want to stand in the way of the young man’s future, and a lso in her opinion, marriage should be based on love. She loved no one else after that. That is the reason why she was unmarried all her life. So she put all her feelings in creating romantic and happy marriages.3.0 Four different marriages in Pride and Prejudice3.1 Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriageOnce Mr. Qian Zhongshu has compared marriage to a castle, b ut I don’t think this marriage theory is suitable for Darcy and Elizabeth. The marriage is tortuous between them but deep-rooted of love based. As we all know, Elizabeth and Darcy left a quite bad impression on each other at the beginning. Elizabeth thinks Darcy is insolent and arrogant, and Darcy does not like Elizabeth because of Elizabeth’s social class and her indecent relatives. But Darcy finally rea lized Elizabeth's preciousness, and Elizabeth’s prejudice and misunderstandings towards Darcy are gone. They deeply in love and possess a wonderful marriage at last. Their love and marriage are tortuous and kind of mysterious. I will analysis their marriage start with analyzing the two characters.Elizabeth Bennet is a person who is worth our imitation. She is a model because she is different from the others. She does not adhere rigidly to the standards set forth by society, she is self-reliant and independent. She is wit and intelligent. Most of the girls married in pursuit of money and fame at that time, even her best friend Chalotte who married a rich man for changing her poor conditions. However, Elizabeth is not submit to this mood of society. She would never violate her principle and her integrity. She is like the pure lotus that lives in mud but never contaminated by the dirty. That is the reason why she rejects Mr. Collin's proposal, because she would not marry without love. On the other hand, she doesnot totally disregard social costumes. She has good manners; her slight breach of decorum is justified by walking alone to Nether field Park to visit her sister who is ill with her genuine concern. She has good manners. When Lady Catherine criticizes Elizabeth skill of playing piano, she can have good manners to keep polite. Mr. Darcy is pride on the surface, but we know he is warm-hearted. He is a good friend, he is afraid that Mr. Bingley would be cheated and hurt by Jane, although he is proved wrong later. He is a good brother; he takes care of his younger sister very well. He is kind; he helps Wickham and Lydia with money even though he was misunderstood by Elizabeth because of Wickham’s rumors. The two people’s personalities are clear and sharp. At the first time, Elizabeth and her sisters go to attend the ball held in Meryton, and she is coldly treated by Darcy, but she uses her healthy sense of humor to joke about Mr. Darcy’s rude behavior at the ball. Darcy is handsome, tall, and intelligent, but not convivial, his indifferent manners are seen by many as an excessive pride and concern for social status. He makes a poor impression on strangers, but he is valued by those who know him well. He gradually finds out Elizabeth’s intelligence, wisdom and beauty. He begins pursuing her. However, at the beginning, Elizabeth rejects his love expression, because she does not like him, even looks down on him though Darcy loves her very much. In Elizabeth’s eyes, Darcy is arrogant and unreasonable because he is rich and has high social status. Realizing that, Darcy begins to get rid of those bad habits quietly. Because of Darcy’s perfect behavior and good education, Elizabeth gradually eliminates the prejudice on Darcy. Most importantly, the misunderstanding, prejudice and pride are disappearing as they know each other better and better. Then they spontaneously fall in love. So Elizabeth accept Darcy’s proposal at the second time, then they get married and have happy family lives.3.2 Jane and Bingley’s marriageIn this novel, the combination of pleasant Bingley and mild Jane is one of the most blessed and happy marriages. The couple has similar interests and they insist on pursuing their true love which leads them to a happy and perfect marriage. Mr. Bingley was a handsome and gentleman with great fortune. As a young man who is well-bred, he wascordial and simple. With this character he never appeared dissatisfied. He is easy to get along and constant in love although he is extremely rich. However he is in short of strength and independence in his marriage which is a big weakness of him. In this story, Bingley is popular with almost everybody in everywhere. Jane is the oldest children in her family. She is an amiable and mild girl who possesses the most beautiful appearance among her sisters. As an introverted girl, she is faithful in love but lacks strength and self-confidence. She is too shy to profess her love towards Bingley, nor admit it, thought she has feelings for Bingley at the time they met. Sometimes she is a little innocent. In her eyes, everybody is nice. She never see through the rotten side of life even she is deceived. Her character is vividly showed in many parts of the novel. So it seems quite natural for Jane to fall in love with the pleasant and simple Bingley. They meet each other at the ball, they are attracted by each other at the first sight, and they dance and talk together. As times goes by, their feelings to each other are getting stronger. But Jane has no courage to express her love, she buries it in heart and for Bingley, he is not a strong and determined man. This is his advantage but also his disadvantage. His cordial and simple character causes his quiet romance with Jane. However, his weak and easily-led character causes his departure from Jane. He suddenly leaves Jane when their romance goes smoothly, which nearly put his pure love and marriage in end. To a great extent, Binley left Jane because of Darcy’s misunderstandings on Jane. They establish a steady and constant friendship although they have totally different characters. Darcy wants to help his friend. In his opinion, it is impossible for Jane to love Bingley. He thinks Jane love Bingley because Bingley is rich, but Bingley’s love for Jane is pure. He doesn’t want his best fri end get hurt. So he persuades Bingley to stay away from Jane and she is not a good marriage option. But they do love each other.During those days when Jane stays in London at Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner’s invitation, she visits Bingley’s sister in person in o rder to get some information of Mr. Bingley. At last, they get together after the misunderstanding between Elizabeth and Darcy disappears. So the love and marriage between Jane and Bingley is pure and stable. They fall in love at first sight heartily. Thei r marriage is kind of tortuous just like Elizabeth and Darcy’s, but the truelove won’t stop them from being together.3.3 Chalotte and Collin’s marriageCharlotte and Collins’s marriage is the most realistic one in the story. Their marriage is based on money instead of love. Charlotte is the best friend of Elizabeth, but they are very different in the choice of marriage. Chalotte’s parents, like the Bennet couple, can’t give her much fortune, and she is as sensible and intelligent as Elizabeth, but her pursuit for spiritual happiness is not as strong as that of Elizabeth. In addition, Chalotte is a plain girl who is a little bit prudent. As a woman who is 26 years old, her choice of marriage is entirely out of realistic consideration. When she first meets Collins, she sees his folly. When he asks her to marry him, she also clearly knows that Collins is certainly not a reasonable person. But she immediately says “yes”, because “Marriage has always been her aim, what kind of man she is going to marry as is less important”, marrying a rich man can shelter her from suffering poverty. She thinks money can bring her sense of security. William Collins, a man of 29 years old, is Mr. Bennet's distant relatives, since Mr. Bennet has no son; Collins becomes the he ir to Bennets’ estate. Jane Austen describes him as “not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society”. Informed that the eldest daughter Jane has a boyfriend, he switches his aim at the second daughter Elizabeth, but Elizabeth has no feelings for him, what’s more, Elizabeth gets tired of him. Eventually, she rejects him with sharp tongue. However, Collins quickly seeks comfort from Charlotte who is desperately in need of love from a male and believes marriage is the elegant way to save a poor girl from suffering, and then they get married as quickly as the lightning. Such marriage without love is too practical and realistic, so it is a kind of superficial marriage without happiness.Marriage is just a task for them, but Collins couples get what they want from marriage: Charlotte gets the stability and prosperity of life; Collins also gets a warm home. This is how they understand marriage. There is no love and same interests between them; their marriage is based on benefits. Although they get what they want, marriage without love is not happy and stable.3.4 Lydia and Wickham’s marriageLydia, Bennett's third daughter, is a simple, frivolous, vanity girl. She is keen on social networking at an early age, enjoying contacting with Merry's officers, and even feels proud of it. “Whenever anyone urg es, she will be put into anyone's arms. Her feelings are always kept rolling, swing”. Wickham is a handsome, actual moral, luxurious, and treacherous man. At first, he seduces wealthy Miss Darcy, but his conspiracy fails. After joined the regiment, he first does everything to please Elizabeth, and then pursues wealthy Miss Kim, finally elopes with Lydia. Then, he gets into debt. So, he needs money and become rich and changes his social status through marriage. For his purpose, he seduces Lydia and wins her love easily, because she is young, innocent and frivolous, and loves to go ease and hates to work hard, and she is also spoiled by her mother. Getting love and praise from a man is what she dreams of. So when Wickham wants to reach his aim-getting wealth by loving and exalting her beauty hypocritically, she forgets who she is and feels she is the most beautiful and happiest girl in the world. Their love is forbidden by the parents, and then they elope. When Elizabeth hears the news, she believes that he does not love her but the wealth of her family. The marriage is admitted on the condition of Darcy's help. Their marriage is considered as a scandal to Bennett’s f amily. But Mrs. Bennet is not shameful of this marriage. The marriage between Lydia and Wickham is conditional. Thanks to Darcy's help, they get married and continue their lives. This kind of marriage is doomed to be unstable. After marriage, they are extravagant; just enjoy the pleasure at the moment, never considering their future. They always ask Jane or Elizabeth for help, counting on their support to pay bills. Wickham's love for Lydia soon suffer a disastrous decline, finally he is indifference to Lydia. They get what they want: Lydia gets erotic satisfaction; Wickham, he also gets the wealth; but their marriage is not satisfactory. This is how they understand marriage.4.0 Analysis and understandings of the four marriages4.1 Perfect marriage based on true loveElizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is intricate but is the ideal marriage because their love is based on love, they cherish each other, they tolerate each other, and of course after marring Darcy who has great fortune, Elizabeth’s life and socia l status are improved, and their marriage gets material security, but at first, Elizabeth refuses the rich man- Mr. Collins’ proposal without any hesitation because she does not and will never love him, from Elizabeth’s perspective, marriage without love w ill never be happy. Elizabeth has a deep understanding of all the things around her. She has a clear understanding about her own social status. Because of this, she resists extremely against the arrogance of Darcy, and she tries to protect herself from being hurt by Darcy's insolent attitude. She believes that she must make him know that she is not woozy. The ultimate failure wakes Darcy up. He is aware of his own short-comings. He accepts Elizabeth’s criticism, and faithfully corrects the shortcomings and mistakes. He is no longer arrogant and has a faithful love with Elizabeth. I remember when the sister asks Elizabeth how she would love Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth replies that she should date from the day she see the beautiful lane manor park. The statement seems to refer to the possession of Darcy. In addition to referring to the specific manor, she also refers the new Darcy seen in the garden.Elizabeth is a wise girl; she understands that marriage involves many factors, such as love, personality, status, property. Among all, love is essential to marriage, which is the author’s views on marriage that reflected in this novel. We should take marriage seriously; impulse will destroy someone’s happy marriage. Having a clear understanding about the person you are going to marriage is vital. Whether you can live a better life both physically and mentally is important to your marriage. That is to say, all the factors should be taken into consideration carefully. Those are the reasons why Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is the perfect one in the story.4.2 Happy marriage based on sense and similar interestsJane and Bingley’s marriage is also rooted in pure love, and also their concern for each other. It seems that their characters are quite suitable for each other. It seems that only their marriage involves purest love with no tint of money at all. Then why is not Bingley penniless but a “young man of large fortune”? This arrangement can also reflect author’s views on marriage. Love is essential for marriage, and money is also plays an important role in marriage. According to the relationship between Bingley and Jane love and similar interests are also the basic factors of a successful and happy marriage. With many similarities in character people can understand each other easily. Above all, their understandings lead to helps and supporting between them. They can live happily together in this way. They don’t care about the shortcomings 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”.4.3 Pathetic marriage based on money or benefitsChalotte and Collins’s marriage is kind of beyond our expectations. At that time, a girl from the low class, who has no pretty appearance and good education, takes marriage as the only way to change their situations. Jane Austen objects this marriage that based on benefits. Maybe lots of people feel pity for the females who lived in that age, but in no time should we make such hasty decision about our marriage. Many do play an important role in marriage, but a marriage without love which is just based on money won’t be pleasant, at last, people will get hurt from the painful marriage. Once I read a story from a magazine, a girl from a poor family married a rich man, she almost did nothing rather than shopping and seeking pleasures, she squandered her husband’s money so quickly, later, the man got tired of her, they divorced. The woman lost the source of money, but she has gotten used to the luxurious life, she can’t live independently. At last, she tried to blackmail some rich man and ended in jail. This is a tragedy; girls should be independent and marry the person who really loves you just like you love him. So Chal otte and Collins’s marriage is doomed to beunhappy, Chalotte once said to Elizabeth, “I am not romantic, you know; I never was, I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins’ character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state.”(Pride and Prejudice, 144) Therefore, Charlotte seems to have found some kind of satisfaction and happiness in her marriage without any love. It is interesting that in such a marriage based on money-transaction, the woman from poor family does marry a single man with a good fortune, but the husband himself has nothing to do with the enjoyment the marriage bring to her.4.4 Absurd marriage based on lust and vanityThe combination of Lydia and Wickham is absurd. Her admiration to Wickham is entirely up to his “handsome face, comely shape and charming talk”. Their relationship is entirely built on lust and impulse without love foundation. Their marriage is neither practical nor romantic. Lydia and Wickham’s marriage is built on sex lust and impulse. It is kind of ridiculous. They treat their marriage so carelessly, it is impossible for them to get a happy marriage. Lydia is attracted by Wickham’s handsome sur face at first. As a flippant girl, she seeks sexual pleasure. Then they make a rash decision to get married. This marriage is one without love. They don’t understand the real meaning of marriage; they only want to satisfy their aspiration. So this is a kind of impromptu love and marriage without true love and responsibility.4.5 Jane Austen’s views on marriageAfter reading the novel, we can see that people’s views on marriage in England at that time. In the 18th century, women longed for marrying a gentleman who possessed considerable wealth and high social status. Love, seems count for nothing. This was because at that time, women were forbidden from inheriting the possession. Marring a rich man was their only way to live a decent life after their fat hers’ death. That is the reason why Mrs. Bonnet is crazy to marry her daughters off. However, Austen has her own idea. She also emphasizes love. From her perspective, happy marriage is equal to “love + wealth +equal social status”. Marriage should be based on love and trust. People can’t just marry someone for whom he/she has no feelings at all. Austen also points that wealth and social status put great importance on marriage. Austen casts her criticism to the dark fact that people’s attention is only on property and high social status. In Austen’s eyes, marriage without love is contemptuous. We know Elizabeth and Darcy, also Jane and Bingley, both have a happy marriage. From these two cases, we can find out what kind of marriage Jane Austen prefers--- love is basic; enough wealth, good behaviors and equal social status are all necessary. These two examples are exactly the right explanation of Austen’s outlook on marriage. To draw a conclusion, in the novel Pride and Prejudice, Austen casts her criticism to people who take wealth and high social states as the only factors in marriage, with neglecting love. She expresses her views on marriage that marriage should be built on love but at the same time should take wealth, characters and social status into consideration.I think Austen’s outlooks on marriage are well worth our deep consideration even today.5.0 The inspiration from Jane Austen’s views on marriageJane Austen’s views on marriage have a profound effect on lots of people, especially on females. What is marriage all about? I think it is a question that is worth our deliberation. Marriage is an everlasting topic in our lives. Throughout the literary history, many masterworks are about marriage. Everyone has his or her own understanding of it. Some marry for money, some for passion, some for love and so on. Marriage plays an important role in our life. Whether your marriage is happy or not will influence you a lot. Austen shows us a different view of marriage; also let us think that what kind of marriage we want and we suit. Many people try to find out the secret of marriage, because everyone wants to own a happy marriage. Some think that marriage contains all sorts of worldly things: house, money. To get marry is to get money; marriage is their shelters that helps them out of plight and keep them from poor or other sufferings. However, Austen shows us that marriage is built on love. It is wrong to marry for wealth or for the sake of beauty and passion of blind. Those kinds of marriage can't last long a nd we can’t get happiness.The truly happy marriage is based on love and reason. Jane Austen leaves us lots of inspirations, especially。
