《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白的性格特征评析
《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白人物性格分析
《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白人物性格分析伊丽莎白是一个聪慧、坦率、思维敏捷、风趣活泼而有教养的小姐。
她的爱情是从在麦里屯碰到民兵自卫团的军官韦翰开始的,伊丽莎白立刻被韦翰一副"讨人喜欢"的仪表迷住了。
韦翰跟她一见如故,滔滔不绝地表白自己中伤达西先生说道:"老实说,除了在尼日斐花园以外,我到附近任何人家去都会这样说。
哈福德郡根本就没有人喜欢他,他那副傲慢的气派哪一个见了都讨厌。
你绝不会听到人家说他一句好话。
"这些话破绽百出但聪明过人的伊丽莎白竟然毫无察觉,被韦翰牵着鼻子走完全被爱情冲昏了头脑。
她为他抱屈,心里责怪达西,"怎么竞如此对待像你这样的一个青年,光凭你一副脸蛋儿人家准知道你是个和蔼可亲的人"。
她与韦翰分手时"脑子里只想到他一个人"。
总之,优秀的伊丽莎白现在成了被人嘲讽的"愚蠢人"了。
这正是恋爱中的伊丽莎白的真实写照。
由于听信了丰翰的谗言,加之伊丽莎白获悉促使姐姐吉英和彬格莱先生分离的主使人竟是达西,对达西的愤恨和对吉英幸福不可得的心痛完全控制了伊丽莎白的头脑她断定是达西的门户偏见和想把自己妹妹许配给彬格莱先生的自私想法导致了吉英和彬格莱先生分手。
她深恶痛觉地指责达西毁了自己姐姐一生的幸福,剥夺了韦翰幸福生活的权利。
达西的傲慢基于他不屈不挠的性格,由于他出言伤害伊丽莎白,引起她的偏见;也正由于伊丽莎白的自爱才产生了她对达西的偏见,傲慢与偏见都达到了最高峰。
达西给伊丽莎白的一封信促使伊丽莎白的思想发生了重大变化。
达西在信中坦承了自己之所以拆散吉英和彬格莱是因为他误认为吉英对彬格莱并无真爱;而韦翰的所作所为又是那么地令人不齿,甚至想诱使达西的妹妹和他一起私奔。
这信件在伊丽莎白心中宛如一枚重型炸弹,炸毁了她先前心中的种种障碍和芥蒂。
伊丽莎白重新认真、冷静地审视了自己,第一次意识到"自己以往未免太盲目,太偏心,对人存在偏见而且不近情理",正是达西和韦翰对自己态度的不同促成了自己的偏见和无知,长期遮蔽双眼蒙蔽心智的薄纱终于被揭除新的正确的自我认识帮助伊丽莎白走出误区,消除了对达西的偏见,而达西也因伊丽莎白激昂的谴责产生了极大的震憾对自己从前的言行举止进行了新的认识和改造。

《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白性格浅析
《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白性格浅析摘要:《傲慢与偏见》是19世纪英国著名小说家简·奥斯汀一部经久不衰的作品。
在这部小说中,《傲慢与偏见》展示了各种各样的女性形象,如反封建女主人公伊丽莎白以及满足于传统命运的女性形象贝纳特姐妹和卡洛特·卢卡斯,通过分析来深入表现女性发展的源泉。
这种根源在于父权制社会里,女性地位低下,而且女性长期遭遇一系列的困难和不公,如受教育的不平等,缺乏隐私权,养儿育女,承担无休止的家庭义务等。
本文从简·奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》中所塑造的女性形象伊丽莎白的性格分析出发,系统展开论述从伊丽莎白对待婚姻的态度上所反映的女性意识,以及几种影响婚姻的重要因素和其对社会生活的重要影响。
关键词:反封建;婚姻观;简·奥斯汀;女性意识;《傲慢与偏见》;伊丽莎白对于英国女作家奥斯汀,她一生创作了六部作品,每部都很成功,对于她的代表作一向以来存在争议,《爱玛》,《傲慢与偏见》,作者自己说在理性和情趣方面后者胜过前者,经过时间的检验,后者的读者始终多过前者,正如一个人的举止可以反映他的性格,在对待婚姻上同样可以反映一个人的性格。

牧师柯林斯先生是贝纳特先生(伊丽莎白的父亲)的表侄,也是贝纳特先生的财产继承人,他是个自负、谦卑的蠢汉,善于巴结权贵的小人。
他因受了贵族夫人凯瑟琳·德·包尔夫人的赏识,得到了教区牧师的肥差,由此越发的变得妄自尊大、自命不凡。
他自认为自己有财产又有崇高的社会地位,要娶贝纳特家的女儿为妻,肯定易如反掌,不会有任何问题。

《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白的人物形象分析报告
《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白的人物形象分析报告《傲慢与偏见》是英国作家简·奥斯汀的代表作之一,通过描绘伊丽莎白·班内特(Elizabeth Bennet)这个独立自主,机智聪慧的女主角展现了奥斯汀对于女性的理想化塑造。
伊丽莎白作为小说中最突出的角色之一,她的人物形象丰满且复杂,既有可爱的一面,也有些许缺点。
下面将从她的外表、性格特点以及与其他角色的互动等几个方面进行深入分析。
首先,伊丽莎白的外表并非小说中最美丽的女性,但她却是最受欢迎的。
她有浓密的黑发,白皙的肌肤,一对明亮聪慧的眼睛。
她虽不能算是美人,却有一种娴静而散发着智慧的气质。
她在小说中与其他妹妹们形成鲜明对比,她们虽然比她们年轻漂亮,但在性格和思想上却逊色于伊丽莎白。
其次,伊丽莎白的性格特点令人难以忽视。
她是一个非常独立自主的女性,不愿受到社会观念和传统的束缚。
她拒绝成为一个权威性的女性形象,坚持追求自己的幸福和独立。
她机智聪慧,有自己独立的见解和主张,对于爱情和婚姻不会盲从他人的意见。

她与姐姐简的关系非常亲密,她们之间有着深厚的情感纽带,互相给予支持和鼓励。
伊丽莎白也与母亲和父亲有着不同的关系,她是父亲的宠儿,而对母亲的婚姻观念持有批判和保留态度。
傲慢与偏见之达西夫妇人物形象分析
达西
Darcy
达西性格形象分析:
最初印象:性格偏内向,不喜欢和陌生人说话,加上他又出
身豪门,拥有巨额财富,权倾四野,尤其是他明明舞跳得好,但是在 男客少,女客多的情况下,他宁可自己闲坐也不跳舞,不是他傲慢还 有别的理由可言吗?再来看他初次见到伊丽莎白时的情景。当宾利先 生想把他引见给伊丽莎白时,他却冷冷的说道:“她还可以让人忍受, 但是她的漂亮还不足以吸引我。而且我也不会和被别人冷落的女士跳 舞。”并且他说这段话时也知道伊丽莎白会听到并且看到,但是却能 够畅所欲言,可见其内心深处的骄傲与自大 。在对待他们家管家的 儿子威克姆时,达西的表现也是相当的傲慢。当与他阔别多年的威克 姆碰见时,当着贝内特小姐们的面,他一句话没说,也没有向在场的 各位小姐打招呼,就掉头而去。这固然是由于他不屑于与威克姆先生 为伍,可是他也无视其他人,给别人难免留下傲慢的印象。同时,在 宾利家的舞会上伊丽莎白提起威克姆时,他也没有解释。他明明知道 威克姆的种种不好,但是他不说出来,他认为时间长了人们发现的。 对一个深知其种种恶行的人来说,这需要多大的骄傲。当然,对柯林 斯这样喜欢奉承的人,就更不能让他与之交流了。所以他能够像没有 听到他的话一样转身离开。
• 虽然伊丽莎白的婚姻观是要追求真实的爱情,但她也并不 回避财产。财产,也是伊丽莎白的婚姻问题是的一个考虑 因素。在十九世纪的英国,妇女的命运是很漂浮的,往往, 妇女就很难掌握自己的命运,因此,仅有爱情是无法保证 婚后的幸福的。伊丽莎白是向往财产的。当她在达西庄园 溜达时,她深有感慨“在彭伯利庄园当个女主人真实了不 起,其乐无穷啊!” 还有,在她姐姐简问起她什么时候喜欢上达西时,她也如 实说:“应该是从看到他那美丽的花园算起”。是达西那 豪华的庄园,是达西那丰润的财产,使伊丽莎白从没失掉 对他的仰慕,使伊丽莎白在对他有好感的基础上发展到深 爱他。 • 伊丽莎白的婚姻观就像那杯精致而昂贵的果汁,而这杯果 汁,是由真实的爱情与丰厚的财产共同搅拌而交融在一起 的。

Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece of Jane Austen who was a famous woman writer in the early 19th century. By describing Bennet’s five daughters’different attitudes to marriage, the author reveals her unique view on woman’s attitude towards love and marriage in that realistic age. The novel highlighted the character of Elizabeth to express the author’s pursuit ofself-realization and her awareness of feminism. This paper first explores Elizabeth’s personality in the terms of plot, conversation and comparison between other figures, especially on Elizabeth’s self-esteem, intelligence, reason, pursuit of freedom and equality. Then this paper sums up the deep causesof Elizabeth’s which are affected by internal factors, external factors as well as the influence of Austen’s feminism. From the above analysis, readers might get a deep understanding of the image of Elizabeth.1. Introduction1.1 Introduction of the authorJane Austen (1775-1817), an early 19th century woman writer, has been regarded as a great classic novelist in World literature. Austen was born in 1775 at Steventon in Hampshire, England. As a daughter of the local rector, although she never accepted formal school education, she was well educated by her family. The wide range of activities within the Austen family –country walks, charades, reading, writing stories and family plays constituted a rich informal education for the children, and stimulated Jane Austen’s ambition to become a novelist [1]1. As a matter of fact, besides drawing and playing the piano, all her education was closely linked to read her father’s books of both the serious and the popular literature of the day. So she read a lot, at the age of 11or 12, she began to write [2]1. During her life,she looked upon her writing as her child. As a female novelist, with her unique feminine sensitivity, she focused on love and marriage of the women at that time and finished six vivid and dramatic novels through her short life: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816), Northanger Abbey (1818), and Persuasion (1818). Her novels are highly praised not only for their light irony, humor of her contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying serious quality. “For Jane Austen was compelled to accomplish an almost unprecedented feat—to become an artist while remaining a lady.”[3]345 Walt Scott recognized her achievement in Pride and Prejudice and confided to his journal, “That young lady had a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I never met with. They indicate the confirmation of Austen’s status in the literary field. This confirmation comes from the profundity her works reveal and her special insight into the society she lived in.”[4]56Austen is good at describing people’s different kinds of marriage from the perspective of people’s pursuit and value of marriage. From her novels, readers can get a clear picture of the customs of the upper middle class, such as the relation betweenmarriage and fortune, the awakening of women at that time, etc [2]2 . Pride and Prejudice is her representative novel. The title, Pride and Prejudice, is originated from one sentence in a book Evelina written by an English writer called Fanny Burney. The sentence is roughly like this: “the whole unfortunate accident is the outcome of Pride and Prejudice.”The initial title of the novel “Pride and Prejudice”is “First Impressions”[5]31. Austen began to write Pride and Prejudice at the age of 21, but the manuscript “went begging”for 16 years at the doors of publishers before it was published in 1813. The plot is simple, but the author has described vivid pictures of the everyday life of simple country society. Through the description of the daily talks and activities of young men and women, Austen paints their characteristics. She is at her best in writing about young girls, because she understands them very well.1.2 Plot of Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice focuses on a pair of sisters as they pursue prospects for marriage. There are five Bennet sisters in all, including the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia, who have beenraised by their shallow mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband for each of her daughter. Because lacking of a male heir, Mr. Bennet’s property has been inherited to his nearest male relative, Reverend William Collins. Their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy young man Mr. Bingley and his best friend Mr. Darcy arrive in their neighborhood. Bingley immediately falls in love with Jane because of her beauty and sweetness. However, his noble friend Mr. Darcy offends Elizabeth by pronouncing her “tolerable”looking and refusing to ask her to dance. From then on, Elizabeth holds a deep-rooted prejudice against Darcy. However, Mr. Darcy finds himself increasingly attracted by Elizabeth’s charm and intelligence. Elizabeth meets Darcy by accident while visiting Charlotte and Mr. Collins. She is shocked when Darcy suddenly proposes to her, and angrily rejects him, accusing him of separating Bingley and Jane and of being unjust to Wickham and of humiliating her and her relatives. The next day Darcy gives her a letter explaining and justifying his conduct. Elizabeth gradually comes to accept the truth of everything Darcy says and has more reason than ever to regret her prejudice against the man. But then Elizabeth’s sister Lydia elopes with Wickham, who has no intention of marrying her. Darcy deals with this event quickly, who pressures Wickham intohonoring his commitment thereby preserving the Bennet family’s good reputation. [11]18-20 At last, when Darcy returns to the neighborhood, he comes to propose again. This time he is accepted.2. The manifestations of Elizabeth’s character“I must confess that I think her as delightful a character as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know.”[6]4 This was how Jane Austen described her character Elizabeth Bennet. From this sentence, we can see that Elizabeth is Austen’s favorite character. Austen’s attitude and her ideal of life are expressed through Elizabeth’s rational view of love and marriage, her actual choice and her satisfactory ending. [2]25 Elizabeth’s light spirit and courage, wit and readiness as well as good sense and good feeling make her stand above other characters in the book.2.1 ReasonComparatively speaking, Elizabeth is the most wise and rational person in her family. Her mother “was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper”[7]3; her father is able to adapt himself to different circumstances and very passive; and her three sisters who are very shallow, reckless, self-willed. Elizabeth lives in a world which full of the foolish people, but she is the only one who has the ability of reason. From the above analysis, we can draw a conclusion that Elizabeth is out of the ordinary and has worldly wisdom.“She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.”[7]8 Although Mr. Darcy refused to dance with her and made unfavorable remarks on her on their first meeting in the dancing party, Elizabeth could still tell the story of Darcy’s insult to her friends [8]46. This action shows her maturity and her ability to see humor even in something offensive to her, “for she had a lively playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous”[7]9. After the first dancing party, the conversation between Elizabeth and her elder sister, Jane, reveals that Elizabeth can see the faults of Bingley’s sisters whereas Jane can not. “Elizabeth…with more quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than hersister, and with a judgment too unassailed by any attention to herself, she was very little disposed to approve them. They were in fact very fine ladies; …but proud and conceited”[7]11.Elizabeth shows her ability of reason in handling marriage. The most impressive scene is that she refuses Mr. Collins’s proposal, though Collins warns her that other proposals may not be made to her because of her impoverishment. However, Elizabeth doesn’t love him, she refuses his proposal firmly. She would rather stay single than marry to Mr. Collins. She can choose the proper things that suit her. So Elizabeth’s pride is based on her ability of observation, analysis and selection.When Elizabeth realizes the truth and tries to overcome her prejudice to Darcy, her reason plays an important role. After she read of Darcy’s letter by self-reflection, analysis, comparison and self-criticism, she not only changes her mind against Darcy, but also comes to a moment of intense realization of herself[9]65-66. “She grew absolutely ashamed of herself. Of neither Darcy nor Wickham could she think without feeling that she had been blind, partial, prejudice, absurd. ”[7]178 She said, “I never knew myself.”To deny one self is really the beginning of one’s progress. Here Jane Austen put forward a positive view of lifeand suggests a way of finding a valid mode of existence, of achieving harmony. The world as it is, but the individual can define his world, and thus conquers it to lead a contented, yet aware life if he is prepared to take a painful and possible difficult path [3]345.2.2 Self-esteemCompared with Darcy, the difference is that Elizabeth doesn’t have a sense of superiority on her social status and family origin, on the contrary, she has clear awareness and special sensitivity [10]84-86. Thus when Elizabeth rejects Lady Catherine’s despotic demand, she evaluates herself by counterpart’s moral values, saying, “Your nephew is a gentleman, I am a gentleman’s daughter, so far we are equal. [7]306”In contrast with Charlotte Luca’s obsequiousness before Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Elizabeth is without doubt much more respectable for her self-esteem. Elizabeth behaves quite admirably when she condemns the lady to her face that she is not entitled to interfere in her concerns, and directly makes clear her standpoint.“I am only resolved to act in that manner which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.”[7]307When Lady Catherine thinks younger girls in a family were not permitted to enter the society before their elder sisters did so, and insults Elizabeth’s parents who are regarded doesn’t educate their daughters good, Elizabeth is against the convention at that time.“I think it would be very hard upon younger sisters that they should not have their share of society and amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to marry early. The last-born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth as the first. And to be kept back on such a motive! I think it would not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind. [7]143”2.3 IntelligenceAt the first chapter of the book, Mr. Bennet appraises his five daughters saying, “They are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters”[7]3.From this sentence, we have a first impression that Elizabeth’s intelligence is much better than her sisters’. We also can see Elizabeth’s intelligence through her conversation. Her dialogue with Darcy, her father and Jane is full of humor, keen analysis and wise comprehension. We just appreciate one wonderful conversation between Elizabeth and Darcy. Clever as Darcy is, he cannot easily overcome Elizabeth in battle of wits [11]14. When Miss Bingley is playing a lively Scotch air, Darcy asks Elizabeth to dance a reel. Elizabeth attempts to revenge Darcy for his previous refusal to accept her as dancer partner because of her “tolerable”figure.“She smiled, but made no answer. He repeated the question, with some surprise at her silence.“Oh!”said she, “I heard you before; but I could not immediately determine what to say in reply. You wanted me, I know, to say ‘yes’, that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste; but I always delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes, and cheating a person of their premeditated contempt, I have therefore made up my mind to tell you that I do not want to dance a reel at all—and now despise me if you dare.”[7]43Elizabeth seldom speaks without an elegant manner. She “has more freedom of maneuver with language, more conceptual space to move around in, [12]87”and as a result, she can forecast things and is capable of independence and think out conclusions of her own. Compared with Jane whose manner is elegant and temper is mild, Elizabeth has advantages of owning much sense. Unlike Jane who thinks everyone is kind, Elizabeth can think more deeply than her. She advises Jane not too honest to see through the foolishness and dullness of those who pretend to be frank to her. She always points out those people’s inconsistency to Jane [5]32. She makes the exact judgment about their tales in breaking the love affairs between M r. Bingley and Jane.Elizabeth has “more quickness of observation and is capable of both complex impressions and complex ideas”[12]88. Her first impression about Darcy’s house, Pemberly, is accurate. She thinks that Pemberly is neither gaudy nor uselessly fine, with less of splendor and more real elegant. The decoration style indicates Darcy’s values which are in the terms of self-cultivation and moral quality rather than materials. After this visiting she also has a better understanding about Darcy’s personality and quality. Through talking with housekeeper, she learns that Darcy,as a brother, a landlord and a master, is always thesweetest-tempered and generous-hearted person, who shows consideration for the poor and takes care of his sister very carefully. From this event we know that Elizabeth’s sensibility and intelligence rarely fail her in her reading of human minds, observing life and drawing out her correct first impression.2.4 RebellionIt can be imagined that Elizabeth with a certain amount of mental independence would own a strong mind and would refuse to submit to others’pressure and to be their appendage. She is a rebel of her time, longing for individual liberty and equality between sexes [12]87. Thus we are not surprised to find her firm refusal of Darcy’s first lordly proposal and total declination of Lady Catherine’s despotic demand of extract a promise from Elizabeth that she will not marry Darcy. The conversation between Lady Catherine and Elizabeth fully exposes Elizabeth’s rebellious spirit.“Let us sit down. You are to understand, Miss Bennet, that I came here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose; nor will I be dissuaded from it. I have not been used tosubmit to any person’s whims. I have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment.”“That will make your ladyship’s situation at present more pitiable; but it will have no effect on me.”“I shall not go away till you have given me the assurance I require.”“And I certainly never shall give it. I am not to be intimidated into anything so wholly unreasonable…You have widely mistaken my character, if you think I can be worked on by such persuasions as these…but you have certainly no right to concern yourself in mine…”[7]305-307Bingely’s sisters pride themselves on having a good taste and are elegant in their manners and their appearance, but Elizabeth thinks they are a lack of inner integrity that are in fact nothing but “crows in the phoenix’s gaudy garments”[12]87. She makes good use of her cleverness and intellect to challenge the upper-class people who show contempt against her. She does not permit her ‘will’to be dictated to by another, and she will never admit the submissive role traditionally ascribed to women[13]50. Her excellent spiritual state makes her always in the position of a winner.Elizabeth’s attitude to marriage is independent and rebellious. Her view of marriage is much different from traditional woman in her time. As a traditional woman, Mrs. Bennet, her mother, blindly wants to find rich men as her daughters’husbands, while Elizabeth is not influenced by economic pressure. She is not rich, but never ready to exchange every better self-feeling with material profit. She will only accept the man’s proposal who she loves. What she wants is lifelong companion who has similar interest and taste to her. Her view of marriage is based on love, a kind of romantic love which seems very rebellious in that period of time.3. The causes of Elizabeth’s characterAs we all know that everything in the world has its own cause. The root of Elizabeth’s character also can be analyzed from the next two different perspectives. Social environmental influence was the external factor of Elizabeth’s character; while familysurrounding and view of marriage were the internal factors, which was the internal motive that Elizabeth boldly challenges the upper-class and pursues the ideal and happiness.3.1 The external factors3.1.1 Social environment factorEvery novelist must bear on mind the imprint of society in which he lives; since in the novel he gives the reader a picture of society he see it, and an implied criticism of it, the reader ought to be able to clearly see in his works the reflection of his ideology and society [14]49. During her lifetime, Austen lived through the French Revolution (1789), the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte; the American War of Independence (and the war with England of 1812); the incipient Industrial Revolution; the Feminist controversy of the turn of the eighteenth-century [11]49.All these events,especially the Industrial and French revolutions, brought about great changes in social structure and the ways people lived and thought.In addition, capitalistic utilitarianism and commercialism caused the declining of social morality. People dwell upon these figures with great relish, the income express rank, social aspirations andconsumer power and marriage becomes a transaction from which one want to get benefit [11]51. Personal relations were reduced to a question of pounds, shillings and pence; people’s behaviors were dominated by self-interest. It is manifestation that economic figures can be seen everywhere in Pride and Prejudice: Bingley inherits a hundred thousand pounds from his father, and has four or five thousand a year; Miss Bingley has a fortune of twenty thousand pounds; Darcy has ten thousand a year; Darcy’s sister Georgiana’s dowry is thirty thousand; Mr. Bennet has two thousand pounds a year; Mrs. Bennet’s father leaves her four thousand pounds. Therefore, compared with Darcy and Bingley, Elizabeth’s family is relatively poor and has lower social status. Elizabeth must have a sense of inferiority, so she has to show her good quality thereby hiding her family’s low status.Moreover, at that time, women had long been regarded as inferior to men physically and intellectually. Both law and theology had ordered their subjection [15]34. Women could not in their own name possess property, engage in business, or control the disposal of their children and even their own persons. In order to prove her idea that women are not inherently inferior to men in intelligence, Elizabeth makes herself intelligent andhas a sound judgment. She disagrees with deep-rooted social notions of the purpose of women’s marriage is predominantly for financial security and she claims that a woman’s marriage should be based on mutual love, mutual respect and mutual understanding.3.2 Internal factors3.2.1 Family factorElizabeth Bennet lives in a society of stationary characters in its conditions and outlook. Generations are born and die and are succeed by their descendents, living in the same places and doing the same things. There is so little change of ideas; democracy has not yet raised her horrid head; money is a potential problem; courtship has its own dramas [12]86. People around her are almost all foolish, passive and reposeful, though there are a few exceptions.Her father, Mr. Bennet is a country gentleman in whom irony is the most prominent quality and who by appreciation of character makes some amends for the selfish indifference, which is the ground of his character [12]86. With no doubt, Elizabeth inherits her father’s taste and intellect, as well as a strong criticaljudgment. But there is as much likeness between mother and daughter as may exist between a lively and sensible woman and a lively fool. “Mrs. Bennet is a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper.”[7]3 Her feelings, impulsiveness, judgments and speeches are generally wrong, while Elizabeth’s are generally right. To some extent, her character is greatly affected by her father not by her mother.Negative family background partly influences Elizabeth’s character. With ignorant mother, incompetent father as well as reckless and self-willed sisters, Elizabeth is often looked up down by others [16]211. With time going, she wants to be a clever girl and ask others to pay much more attention to her intellect and her unique talent, thereby alleviating surrounding people’s contempt. As a consequence, her wisdom and intellect are appraised by others.3.2.2 Marriage factorElizabeth’s character is influenced by marriage factor. Through comparing her mother’s and her friend Charlotte’s view of marriage, we can see Elizabeth’s unique attitude to marriage.Mrs. Bennet is at all costs with her blind desperation for marriage [5]34. At the beginning of the novel, when she declares of the new tenant of Netherfield, she says “A single man of large fortune, four or five thousand a year, what a fine thing for our girls”[7]2. This shows Mrs. Bennet expects her daughter marriage well as her only desire in the life and one of Elizabeth’s friend Charlotte views marriage as a “comfortable home”. “At the age of twenty seven, without having ever been handsome, felt all the good luck of it. [7]107”She accepts Collins solely from the pure and disinterested desire of an establishment. While Elizabeth takes a different view to marriage, so she feels ashamed that a friend of hers can fall so far below her own ideals of conduct. She thinks Charlotte as Collin’s wife is “a most humiliating picture”.Elizabeth’s attitude towards love and marriage has progressive social significance. She likes a free choice, not dictated by economic pressure, though there is indeed not the least hint in the book which suggests that she would like to go so far as to totally reject money for love’s sake [12]88. She is not rich, but never ready to sacrifice every better self-feeling to material profit. She rejects to give Mr. Collins her hand because she knows they share not the same ideas and taste. She stands for moral integrity in love affairs. In her eyes, the life long companyshould be the first precondition. She accepts Darcy’s propose because she loves him. She thinks that “he was the exact man whose disposition and talents would most suit her”and “it is a union that must have been to the advantage of both”[12]88. Therefore, Elizabeth’s idea of happiness in marriage has to do with individual compatibility and affection, what Charlotte presumably means by “romantic”. This point of view is really superior to the traditional view at that time.4. Influence of Austen’s feminism“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”[7]1 This is opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice. From the first sentence, we can know women’s dreadful situation that is to say women have no economic status. Ellen Moers pointed out that Austen wrote at a time when both men and women found themselves in “a Feminist Controversy”[17]245. Jane Austen shows the strong protest against secular prejudice towards the notion of family status and the system of marriage imposed onthe English middle and lower class women between the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th century [5]33. So from this point, we can see that Austen’s novels all end with an improved feudal society, whose leader is an open-minded gentleman who permits some changes and understands women’s worth and treat them as individuals. At last, the gentleman marries the heroine and secures her of a better life and promising future, and the ideal union of individual desire and social limitations are realized in the heroines’marriages.Austen expresses her view of women in Pride and Prejudice, which is appallingly similar to her radical contemporaries. Through describing Elizabeth’s fine aspiration about asking for the independence of personality and struggling for the equality of human rights, we can see the idea of Jane Austen about woman rights. Elizabeth is anything but merely subservient to the male and represents in some sense the feminist ideal of woman [5]33. Moreover, the figure of Elizabeth reflects not only Austen’s faith in female mind but her belief that intellectual abilities are as desirable in the woman as in the man. Elizabeth herself is intelligent and has a sound judgment, and she does not distinguish people around her according to their gender but according to their intelligence. Jane Bennet and Miss Bingleyboth have qualities which were regarded as marks of feminine excellence in an age which advised women to conceal any mental accomplishments [11]43. Yet neither is judged the equal of Elizabeth Bennet because they lack her “quickness of observation”and “judgment”. This standard of excellence is made by Darcy, who comments that while a woman should cultivate accomplishments such as “music, singing, drawing, dancing, all the modern languages…and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading”[7]32. So Elizabeth is the spokesman of Jane Austen.5. ConclusionJane Austen is a milestone as well as a very important writer in the history of British literature. In her era, British novels seemed to come to a stop, and family reading activity became more and more boring [18]5. She invented her own special mode of fiction, the domestic comedy of middle-class manners, and a dramatic, realistic account of the quiet backwaters of everyday life for thecountry families of Regency England from the late 1790s until 1815 [2]1. All these help her to have the equal name as Sir Walter Scott.Elizabeth, the heroine of Pride and Prejudice, touches the readers all the time everywhere in the world. Elizabeth, who fought for the happy marriage, is an excellent actress, playing an active role on the stage of life. The above study mainly discuses Elizabeth’s four characters, including reason, self-esteem, intelligence and resistance. Generally speaking, Elizabeth is lively, bright, sparkling as well as full of emotion and energy, which make her eyes glow, her words flash, bring the blood to her cheeks so often. [12]1 Then, this paper studies deep causes of Elizabeth’s which are affected by internal factors and external factors as well as the influence of Austen’s feminism.The purpose of this paper is to add luster to getting a better understanding of Elizabeth, then through analyzing her personality and causes, we can understand Austen’s complexity and her opinion of women’s attitude towards self-pursuit, love and marriage.。

夏洛特的选择反映了当时社会中许多女性的无奈,她们为了生活的稳定和保障,不得不放弃对爱情的追求。
她明白婚姻不仅仅是感情的结合,更是一种经济和社会地位的保障。
这种现实的态度在一定程度上让她获得了安稳的生活,但也失去了追求真爱的机会。
莉迪亚是班纳特家最小的女儿,她轻浮、任性、不懂事。
她被韦翰的外表所迷惑,不顾家人的反对,与他私奔。
莉迪亚的行为不仅给自己和家人带来了巨大的耻辱,也反映了她的无知和缺乏教养。
傲慢与偏见人物性格分析
性格分析:女主人公伊丽莎白聪敏机智,有胆识,有远见,有很强的自尊心,并善于思考问题。
就当时一个待字闺中的小姐来讲,这是难能可贵的。
正是由于这种品质,才使她在爱情问题上有独立的主见,并导致她与达西组成美满的家庭赏析篇:奥斯丁在这部小说中通过班纳特五个女儿对待终身大事的不同处理,表现出乡镇中产阶级家庭出身的少女对婚姻爱情问题的不同态度,从而反映了作者本人的婚姻观:为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的;而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。
因此,她既反对为金钱而结婚,也反对把婚姻当儿戏。
她强调理想婚姻的重要性,并把男女双方感情作为缔结理想婚姻的基石。
书中的女主人公伊丽莎白出身于小地主家庭,为富豪子弟达西所热爱。
达西不顾门第和财富的差距,向她求婚,却遭到拒绝。
伊丽莎白对他的误会和偏见是一个原因,但主要的是她讨厌他的傲慢。
因为达西的这种傲慢实际上是地位差异的反映,只要存在这种傲慢,他与伊丽莎白之间就不可能有共同的思想感情,也不可能有理想的婚姻。
以后伊丽莎白亲眼观察了达西的为人处世和一系列所作所为,特别是看到他改变了过去那种骄傲自负的神态,消除了对他的误会和偏见,从而与他缔结了美满姻缘。
伊丽莎白对达西先后几次求婚的不同态度,实际上反映了女性对人格独立和平等权利的追求。
这是伊丽莎白这一人物形象的进步意义。
从小说看,伊丽莎白聪敏机智,有胆识,有远见,有很强的自尊心,并善于思考问题。
就当时一个待字闺中的小姐来讲,这是难能可贵的。
正是由于这种品质,才使她在爱情问题上有独立的主见,并导致她与达西组成美满的家庭。
在《傲慢与偏见》中,奥斯丁还写了伊丽莎白的几个姐妹和女友的婚事,这些都是陪衬,用来与女主人公理想的婚姻相对照。
如夏绿蒂和柯林斯尽管婚后过着舒适的物质生活,但他们之间没有爱情,这种婚姻实际上是掩盖在华丽外衣下的社会悲剧。
奥斯丁的小说尽管题材比较狭窄,故事相当平淡,但是她善于在日常平凡事物中塑造鲜明的人物形象,不论是伊丽莎白、达西那种作者认为值得肯定的人物,还是魏克翰、柯林斯这类遭到讽刺挖苦的对象,都写得真实动人。

《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白的性格特征评析作者:李瑾萱
来源:《山东青年》2015年第10期
摘要:《傲慢与偏见》是简·奥斯汀的代表作。
小说讲述了乡绅之女伊丽莎白·班内特的爱情故事。
这部作品以日常生活为素材,一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。
本文主要对《傲慢与偏见》中伊丽莎白的性格特征进行分析。
关键词:《傲慢与偏见》;伊丽莎白;性格
在《傲慢与偏见》作品中许多的人物形象都是为大众所熟知,其中,最令人印象深刻的便是伊丽莎白的人物形象。
为此,本文笔者便着重研究伊丽莎白的人物性格特点,其中,本文笔者通过她对达西态度继而能够对其的傲慢进行深入研究,同时,还对凯瑟琳夫人的对话中,展现了其强烈自尊性进行全面的分析,才能更好地帮助我们深入研究伊丽莎白的人物性格特征。
从某种程度上看,《傲慢与偏见》作为英国文学历史上最为成功的著作之一,在十九世纪中的文学历史上做出杰出的贡献。
简奥斯汀深入而细致地描绘出她的性格特点。
在这部小说中,简奥斯汀还是沿用英国乡村的生活,及时对作品中的三对恋人关系来表达出她自己对待爱情和婚姻的态度。
一、伊丽莎白偏见的性格特点研究
从《傲慢与偏见》的作品中,我们可以发现,《傲慢与偏见》这部作品创作的主题便是傲慢与偏见。
而其中正是达西的傲慢和伊丽莎白的偏见有效地贯穿整个小说中,为此,本文笔者便主要分析了小说两位主人公中的傲慢与偏见起到非常重要的作用。
也许,正是由于这种鲜明的性格特征消除了彼此之间的舞会,尤其是体现在伊丽莎白对达西上的误会,与此同时,还尽可能地加深了两人之间的了解,最终使得两人的婚姻得到圆满的结局。
当两人第一次在舞会见面时,伊丽莎白便对达西产生了误会,例如,在小说中,达西的出现,立刻引起了全场人的注意,这是由于他身材非常好,气宇非凡。
可是,由于这种美好的印象没有持续很长的时间,当舞会的后半场开始,人们便可以发现,他的举止是令人生厌,而那种趋之若鹜的场面才得到停止,最后发现他的为人自满。
而这些大众的反应都是可以用来反映这就是为什么伊丽莎白对他所产生的偏见,而且之后没有人对达西产生任何的好印象。
但是,伊丽莎白对达西的偏见进一步加深,就是当她听到达西对伊丽莎白非常平凡的评价之后,使得两人之间的评价更进一步加深了,这样就造成伊丽莎白直接拒绝了达西的邀请。
接下来,当伊丽莎白相信维克汉姆对达西的诽谤,这样就又在一定程度上加深了对达西的偏见。
虽然说维克汉姆所说的话都是假的,并且维克汉姆的人物这才是这部小说的恶棍。
当听
到了维克汉姆的话之后,伊丽莎白竟然说这样评价达西“我从来没有想过达西先生竟然是这样的坏”当听到维克汉姆侮辱的话语后,使得伊丽莎白更加确信了自己的想法。
从另外一个角度上看,当伊丽莎白将维克汉姆没有参加舞会的原因归咎到达西身上,使得她坚定地选择相信维克汉姆。
尽管这种偏见持续的时间较长,但是,这些偏见都是源自于无解。
所以,当伊丽莎白真正了解其真实的想法后,逐渐认识到达西并不是他所认识的自傲和恶棍形象,最后过上了幸福的生活。
二、关于伊丽莎白自尊心的特点分析
在《傲慢与偏见》作品中,简奥斯汀还是继续沿用一贯的写作主题,主要彰显了乡村生活和年轻男女之间的爱情。
作者很聪明地在书中安排了很多次伊丽莎白和凯瑟琳夫人之间的见面,其中,尤其是展现了第一次和第二次进行深入的描写,当凯瑟琳夫人的粗鲁无礼彻底惹怒了伊丽莎白,而伊丽莎白就是根本不愿意与他进行对话,但是,最终还是控制好她的情绪,并努力地捍卫了自己的自尊。
但是,当伊丽莎白第一次与凯瑟琳夫人见面时,已经从很多方面已经听说了凯瑟琳夫人的尊贵,凯瑟琳夫人具有显赫的地位,但是伊丽莎白却一点都不感到紧张或者害怕。
原因则是非常简单的,伊丽莎白没有听说凯瑟琳夫人拥有非常出众的才华,若是拥有这些将会使得她敬畏,若是仅仅是财富和社会地位,她都能够坦然面对。
从上述的分析中,我们可以进一步发现,伊丽莎白在细小的对话中可以进一步清楚地表明了伊丽莎白希望能够利用自身的力量来维护自身的尊严,同时,伊丽莎白尽量让凯瑟琳夫人了解自己不是一个轻视的人。
但是,她仅仅是让人明白无论是发问者,只要有人想要伤害她的自尊,便会拒绝任何的问题。
三、结语
总的来说,为了能够更好地加强《傲慢与偏见》中对伊丽莎白人物形象的分析,本文笔者着重分析了其偏见和自尊心两个方面,以此更好地引导自己理解伊丽莎白在小说中的作用。
