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。

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.。

《傲慢与偏见》影评影片通过班纳特五个女儿对待终身大事的不同处理方式，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；以伊丽莎白与达西的感情经历为情节主线，展示了十八世纪中后期英国社会贵族阶层的婚姻状况。

虽然班纳特的家境并不是非常富有，也无任何显赫的社会地位，但班耐特太太却处心积虑想替五个女儿寻找到和上流社会的贵族联婚的机会。

女主人公伊丽莎白虽然出身于小地主家庭，她聪敏机智，有胆识，有远见，有很强的自尊心，并善于思考问题。

正是由于这些品质，才使她在爱情问题上有独立的主见。

伊丽莎白对达西的求爱先拒绝后答应，更是展现了她对无爱婚姻的蔑视。

达西傲慢的态度让伊丽莎白对他的误会和偏见。

达西认识到这一点，改变了过去那种骄傲自负的神态，消除了伊丽莎白对他的偏见。

他们逐渐相互了解，解除偏见，抛弃毫无意义的所谓体面，最终认识到并且爱慕上对方的美德，从而与他缔结了美满姻缘。

温柔体贴的姐姐简与有权有势的宾利，他们的婚姻虽然也不排除相貌与家世的考虑，但主要是建立在爱情的基础上。

相反，伊丽莎白的朋友，夏洛特，她认为自己既不美，又没有钱，出于经济方面的考虑，选择了与愚蠢而又肤浅的柯林斯结合。

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。

影片反映了作者奥斯汀本人的婚姻观：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。

其中，班奈特太太就是当时社会大多数人的缩影，爱情对她们来说是不可靠的奢侈品，她们只看重物质，看重权势。

伊丽莎白的妹妹以及父亲的婚姻也是不幸的，他们在美貌的皮相面前昏了头，忽略了对方的品德，导致终生遗憾。

The first sentence in the novel is impressive andwell-known.It reads:“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune,must be in want of a wife.” The reason is very clear:that foundation of the marriage at that time is not love but possession.The main story of the novel happens between Elizabeth and Darcy.We all know that at the first ball,Darcy refused Lizzy’invitation for dancing,because he didn’t think that anyone at the village can deserve him.After this,Lizzy promised not to pay attention to him any more because of his pride.Other than this,there are other two things that make Lizzy leave a worse impression to him.One is that she thinks it was he that had separated her sister and her lover.The second is that she heard of something bad from Wickham who has antinomies with Darcy.It is these misunderstanding that make her feeling of prejudice stronger and stronger.At last,she found she had misunderstood him and made her very regret.And Darcy had although changed.He made an offer of marriage to her again and was accepted.finally,no pride and prejudice are between them.Instead they have a happy ending.The novel also reflected the author’s marriage view:It is wrong to marry for the property,money and position.She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage.So,it’s natural for me to associate her works with modern society,a lot of parents try to interfere their children’s cation background or job condition may influence one’s marriage.Money is still a big problem for marriage.But money isn’t everything,true love is mostimportant one .After I read the novel,I have a profound thinking about marriage.We can comprehend the essence of Jean,and Bingley’s marriage.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage,Lydia and Wickham’s marriage and Charlotte and Collins’s marriage through Elizabeth’s eyes.That is,to marry for wealth and beauty is wrong.For this kind of marriage cannot maintain last and long-term happiness,and truly happy marriage is based on love and sense.2.The analysis of Elizabeth’s characterElizabeth Bennet is a person worthy of our imitation.She is a model because she is different from all the other persons,except Darcy,and because she does not adhere rigid to the standards set forth by society,she is a self-reliant and independent girl.When Mr.Collins make a proposal to Elizabeth arrogantly,she politely refused him.Unlike Charlotte,Elizabeth would never violate her principle and her integrity and throw away her talents by marrying Mr.Collins,a conceited,narrow-minded,and pompous fool man.She puts trust in her own perceptions and impressions.However,that isn’t say she is rebel against society.She has good manners,for example,She walking alone to Nether field Park just cause her genuine concern for her sister who is ill;She can have good manners to keep polite when Catherine criticize her skill of playing piano. Her self-reliant attitude causes her to think of herself as to be independent,but her view are distorted because she also regards above as normal social relationship.Elizabeth is unconscious that she suffers from pride.She does not realize the inherent dangers of her error.Elizabeth’s defects are her willful tendency to misunderstand others.She embrace stubbornly her own quick perception about people are revealed by her prejudice.Elizabeth’s initial prejudice against Darcy are rooted in the pride of her own quick perception,and her distorted perception of reality.Her prejudice renders her incapable of judging the merits of Darcy.Elizabeth is just ordinary on the surface.She is attractive but not beautiful;She is endowed with certain graces and talents but not excellent.In the end,she will find happiness because she learns to recognize her faults.Elizabeth’s blindness of her faults was opened by Darcy’s letter.She learns to judge others more accurately and not to be blinded by first impressions.Elizabeth’s confession that she was guilty of prejudices based on her own judgment tells us that she is superior to the other characters.And she also realizes that people cannot be judged based solely by their appearance,and that character evaluations must also take the substance account behind a person’s appearance.Elizabeth becomes a rational woman speaking the truth from her heart.Without neither family wealth nor wisdom to help her,Elizabeth’s success is a attribute to her inner strength.3.Analysis of the five marriage patterns3.1The marriage of Mr. and Mrs.BennetTheir marriage is a typical instance of the traditional marriage in the eighteenth century.Their marriage shows that the two have never experienced much mutual love and is done mostly for financial benefit.It is a tragedy to Mr.Bennet.Mrs. Bennet as a simple-minded pretty woman who frequently complaints about her nerve shows that her mind was less difficult to develop,and shewas a woman of mean understanding,little information,and uncertain temper.When she was discontented she imagined herself nervous.The business of her life was to get her daughters married.Mr.Bennet is an intelligent and witty man.He“was so odd a mixture of quick parts,sarcastic humor,reserve and caprice,that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character.”It shows that there is no marital happiness of emotional and intellectual understanding between the couple.Mr.Bennet married for money and beauty.After marriage,he realized Mrs.Bennet would not make her an ideal wife due to her intellectual weakness and narrow vision.To the couple,their marriage is a social responsibility,so when love disappears,the marriage still can be continuing.The novel reflects that the women’s social status is very low at that time.And the author criticizes this unequal society,She thinks that both men and women should enjoy equal treatment.3.2 Jane and BingleyJane,the eldest daughter of Bennet family,is a good-natured and gentle woman.Bingley is a wealthy,handsome,kind and simple young man who is easy to approach in love.They fall in love at first sight.“He is just what a young man should be,”“…sensible,good-humored,lively;and I have never saw such happy manners!…so much ease,with such perfect good breeding”Jane’s impression to Bingley.Jane is“the most beautiful creature I ever beheld”in the eyes of Bingley.Their marriage is based on mutual love.They have so many virtues in common.For example,good -tempered and modest,share a mutual understanding and think best of others.However they also have weakness.To hide her emotion to Bingley shows that Jane lacks of strength and self-confidence.And Bingley cannot to be a strong and determined man though pleasant and modest as he is.Also his indecisive character determines that he lacks independence in his marriage.Both of them are weak in judgment and easy to be influenced by others so they need considerate and beneficial advice from Elizabeth and Darcy sometimes.3.3 Elizabeth and DarcyElizabeth,a second daughter of Bennet,is the heroine of the novel.She is an intelligent and quick-witted young lady.She is Jane Austen’s most favorite character.Austen’s dream could not realized in the reality have been realized in the novel.Elizabeth is certainly a striking and satisfactory self-portrait of Austen.Darcy is a“fine,tall person,with handsome features,…”.His proud is over emphasized in the Elizabeth’s eyes,and his haughty proposal insulted Elizabeth’s self-esteem,so she feels that she is not treated equally with Darcy.Thus,she is by no means to accept his offer.The temptation of money and social status can not make her disregard.Elizabeth’s refusal makes him recognize his faults of pride and prejudice.She visit to Darcy’s home makes Elizabeth’s judgment of Darcy radically change and makes her re-accept a more prefect Darcy.The marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy is an ideal one.It is based on affection,esteem and emotion.Economic condition and social status still played a important role in marriage at that time and they also have a great influence on their ter,she feels regretful for her refusal of Darcy’s offer,and her feeling towards Darcy changes.Through their marriage,Austen show that the power of love can overcome social status and prejudice and further implied that such prejudice isfutile.3.4 Lydia and WickhamLydia,the youngest daughter of the Bennet family.She is a foolish,empty-minded person.She never stop seeking fun and excitement and there seems no purpose in her life.Just like her mother,marriage is the business in her life.She never regards love as a serious matter.She lacks any sense of virtue and judgment.She is fascinated by the attention of Wickham,a young soldier.Ironically,under the gentlemanlike appearance,Wickham turns to be a corruption in moral.The marriage between Lydia and wickham is based on fun and excitement,not base on affection.Strong passion is the main reason for their marriage.To marry a man like Wickham can never bring true happiness to a woman.Shortly after their marriage,“his affection to her soon sunk into indifferent;her lasted a little longer;…”.When passion fades away,them seem to feel miserable with their married life and constantly try to avoid meeting each other.3.5 Charlotte and CollinsCharlotte is one of several children of a former tradesman.She is Elizabeth’s good friend.Other than Mr.Bennet,Charlotte is the person in Elizabeth’s world who is closest to her in temperament and intelligence.She has her own ideas and is fair and objective on issues.Being such a “sensible,intelligent young woman”,her marriage proves her sense and wisdom.Mr.Collins is a stupid clergyman.He is a narrow-minded man possessing no conception of love. He plans to get married only because Lady Catherine strongly advices him to do so.Like Mrs.Bennet,he treats marriage as a business.It is obviously it just as a deal in the marriage market.Charlotte knows very well of Collins,but she still accepts he as her husband.She wants to marry for the sake of security and status,but considering her ordinary and lack of fortune,also her age,she does not expect to have much choice to select a husband.The attitude towards Charlotte’s marriage indicates that true love is more important than material in a marriage.4.Austen’s view on marriageMarriage can not only depend on property and social status,while without considering these two factors is not wise,either；Marriage without love is immoral; Marriage without property is unstable. Happy marriage should based on love and solid financial foundation. Besides love,there are other factors which is very important in marriage,such as mutual respect,mutual understanding,common virtues,passion,and reason.5.ConclusionElizabeth and Darcy’s love is the most ideal one,just like a shining pearl in the history of literary.Austen emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage,and regard men and women’s emotion as the foundation and firm stone of the ideal marriage.And marriage doesn’t equal to love,and this ideal are far away from us.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage id the happiest,with deep-rooted of love,and a necessary condition of Darcy’s strongly wealth.And if marriage is such kind of castle,I would like to be trapped by this kind of love and happiness.6.Bibliography1.英奥斯丁著，李长译：《傲慢与偏见》北京外语教学与研究出版社，1997。

傲慢与偏见英文论文Love is the soul of moneyI learned two words from Pride and Prejudice, wealth and status. Now it’s difficult for me to remember the exact plots of this book, however, I will think of these two words once someone refers to Pride and Prejudice. And compared with status, money has a bigger influence on me. Nearly all the people around me pay unimaginable attention to money and i think this phenomenon has existed so long a time that maybe it can be dated back to the first form of society, my heart tell me that i really don’t like this kind of phenomenon, however, i do agree with the title of this essay, as a Chinese proverb goes, “A full belly counsels well.”and the founder of New Oriental Yu Minhong ever said, “Love is a luxury.” moreover, i was touched by a sentence which was written like this, “ I need to own a lot of money, for i don’t want you to be seduced by the money of others.” in my opinion, the relationship between love and money is just like that of our physical body and mental world, in general, most of us won’t have a good mood if we are experiencing the torment of illness, and if we don’t have a healthy body, maybe our lifetime won’t be very long, we won’t have the ability of thinking once we step into so-called paradise or hell, in a word, we should regard money as the most effective tool to promote the quality of love, at the same time, it’s good for us to believe that there won’t be the sinful shadow of money whenever love appears. It’s necessary to have a study on this book.I. Brief IntroductionJane Austen (1775-1817) was one of the distinguishedrealistic novelists in the nineteenth century. During the forty-two years of her short life time, Austen completed six novels. Pride and prejudice is Austin's great work. In this novel, money acts as the cause of each plot and the clue of its development. At that time, marriage was the only way for women to gain social status and recognition. So money is the leading motive for women to marry in the book. Through the description of five different kinds of marriages, Austen fully expressed her original views on marriage: It is wrong to marry for money, but it is unwise to marry without money; marriage is not determined by property and social status, but it is foolish not to considering them; marriage with love is ideal and happy.II. Analysis on four different marriages1. The most happy marriage—Jane’s marriageAmong all the marriages in this novel, the combination of gentleman Bingley and mild Jane is the most blessed one. They have many similarities in their characters, which leads them to a successful marriage. At a dancing party in Meryton, Jane and Bingley fell in love with each other at first sight. Lacking courage, the couples experienced hardships on the road of marriage. However, firmly love finally triumphed over everything. Their marriage is based on mutual love. Both of them possess so many common virtues. They are good-tempered and modest. They share a mutual understanding and always think best of others. However, their happy marriage still has some problem. Bingley is not a man with strong and determined disposition. Both of them are weak in judgement and easy to be influenced by others. So Mr.Bennet joked that they may be mistreated by their servants. But it is fortunate enough that Jane and Bingley can always receive beneficial advice from Elizabeth and Darcy.2. The most absurd marriage —Lydia’s marriageThe marriage of Lydia and Wickham seems to be ridiculous. Lydia, the youngest daughter of the Bennet family. She is idle and foolish. She never ceases seeking her own fun and sexual excitement. Unlike her two eldest sisters, she lacks any sense of virtue and is fascinated by the uniforms. Wickham has a "most gentlemanlike" appearance, however, he has little responsibility. Austen didn't describe how they be together. Their marriage, elopement actually, is a scandal to the whole society and an injury to entire Bennet family. Their sex-oriented marriage purely bases on superficial attraction. Money is a decisive role in their relationship. Without Darcy's help, Wickham won't marry Lydia. I think their marriage is a tragedy and will not last long.3. The most realistic marriage —Charlotte’s marriageCollins and Charlotte's Marriage is regarded to be the most realistic one in the book. Their marriage seems both beyond expectation and reasonable. Charlotte is already 27, having no money and no prospects. She is the burden of her family. So she needs a marriage to acquire social status and economic stability, as well as Collins. "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance." Charlotte is so rational that she never expect love and romance in her marriage. She a clever girl who clearly knows what she is and what she want. Their marriage is based on economic security. The lack of love makes it to be a business transaction. But no one can say they are unhappy. Because they own what they want through their marriage. Even without love, it can also be a marriage.4. The most admirable marriage —Elizabeth’s marriageThe marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth is the most ideal one. There is no doubt that Elizabeth is Austen's favouritecharacter. She is an intelligent and quick-witted young lady. She is brave to choose her love and marriage. She doesn't attracted by big fortune even though women married for money at that time. Real love and equal personal relation is what Elizabeth pursues in marriage. As a progressive young lady, She also dares to be against what she thinks of inequality. Facing Lady Catherine's arrogance and humiliation, Elizabeth never feel inferior and boldly spoke out what she thought. At the beginning, in Elizabeth's eyes, Darcy was arrogant and unreasonable because he was rich and had high social status. After refused by Elizabeth, Darcy begun to get rid of those bad habits. Because of Darcy's perfect behaviour and good education, Elizabeth gradually eliminated the bias on Darcy. Then they spontaneously fell in love. Their marriage is the most ideal one, the combination of love and property. Through the marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy, Austen indicates that love, mutual understanding are the base of their relationship, and in addition, solid economic foundation is also an indispensable element in a happy marriage.III. ConclusionMaybe all of us should keep this sentence in our mind or crave it on our heart, we will benefit a lot from it, the pain that love brings to us will be lighter if we know the true meaning of this sentence. "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."[1] We must know that your love will be a true love if the purpose of your love is not possession but let your beloved live happily, even you can’t finish the way of your life with the company of him or her, maybe your beloved can own a more happy life with others, in other words, you should fell happy, for your beloved is happy. In my opinion, maybe we will be morehappy that your beloved is more happy with others but not you, and then you will have more easy and light time to do more things to let your beloved happy with your own ability, so your beloved will have more ability to enjoy a joyful life."Although Charlotte is a well-educated girl but she doesn't have much property. She isn't as beautiful as other girls. She realize that marriage isn't equal with happiness, but it is inherently like a safe to a woman" [1] These words remind me of another sentence, "Youth only belongs to people who have a good looking." "To get financial guarantees of security, opportunity really rare, we must cache it quickly, it is almost irrelevant about what kind of person the man was."[2] It’s true that this sentence indicates the vivid reality of our social environment, love is a holy thing and not everyone has the charm to attract it, in my opinion, where there is a better love, there is a better person, this is the fact, so maybe the first thing you should do is to change ourselves before we want to change love."There is no doubt that Elizabeth and Darcy's love is the shining pearl in the history of literary, and their love is the ideal mode which has been esteem by Austen"[3] Good things are always hard to get, we should face challenges bravely if we want to get them, all of us should form a family with wealth and love.[1]孙致礼,译,简·奥斯丁.《傲慢与偏见》南京:译林出版社,2000年：83Sun Zhili, Pride and Prejudice,2000:83[2]朱虹,《奥斯丁研究》.北京:中国文联出版公司,1985年：178Zhu Hong, The Research of Austen,1985:178[3]郑晓园.文化深层的激荡.阅读与欣赏,1998年：79Zheng Xiaoyuan, The Deeping Evoking of Culture，1988:79本文版权归曼界森英书下载网及英文电子书下载网共同所有。

The Appreciation of Pride and PrejudiceAfter see the movie of Pride and Prejudice, I have thought deeply more about the figures. Everyone was special even unique and they were differed in many ways. Each person was stood for one character and all above of them were added some charm to the movie in some degree.I think Mr. Bennet was a negative figure and an ironic person. And he was also very sharp and clever. But to associate the author’s point of Mr. Bennet, however, was to ignore his ultimate failure as a father and husband. He was very clever but he always kept away from the matters that occured around him. And that made him became an ineffective parent and husband. He made no advice to his wife and little daughters to away from bad manners, so that his wife and his little daughters always behaved ridiculously and even badly. After Lydia eloped with Wickham, Mr. Bennet was proved that he was unable to handle the situation. Thanks to Darcy and Gardiners, the elopement has been solved . He was a likable, entertaining character, but he never managed to earn the respect of the viewers who ever watched the movie.In this movie, Jane Austin portrayed many characters with distinguishing features. There were two typical women that viewers may no t fo rget--- Lady Cather ine de B o urgh and Mrs. B ennet.Maybe the Lady Catherine de Bourgh who caused Anne's invalid state. Because Anne were to attempt things and did them badly, then her mother’s blame would be shown up as hollow. Lady Catherine de Bourgh prevented much shortcomings from appearing by keeping he from all exertion. And as a result, Anne had became thin but sickly. Besides, Anne seemed very selfish. She kept Charlotte outside in very cold weather; she did not talk to her mother's guests but only to the housekeeper. Maybe that’s because of her mother’s improper teaching.Compared with Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mrs. Bennet was quite different from her, except that they were mercenary, overbearing, Compared with the attitudes that Lady Catherine de Bourgh showed towards Anne, Mrs. Bennet was the directly reason of Jane's and Lydia's misfortunes, and she also brought about Elizabeth's sufferings.She was a poor judge of character, and failed to understandanyone. We saw this in her enthusiasm for Collins and Wickham and her disapproval about to Darcy, especially stressed when Elizabeth has just accepted Darcy's proposal about their marriage. Jane Austen also described that Mrs. Bennet's had an uncertain temper to her supposed “nerves”.That’s a little funny. And Mrs. Bennet was one example among many in the movie of ill-breeding and bad manners: She lacked consideration for others .She was overbearing and domineering. She had no restraint and no sense of propriety - she would discuss her family affairs with anyone. She lacked intelligent conversation.Furthermore, she was vulgar, not only in her loud, unintelligent chatter, but in the absence of decency in matters such as Lydia's wedding or the whereabouts of Lydia and Wickham when they were married. What’s more, she also had no moral shame, because she flaunted Lydia and Wickham when they came to visit her family. She bullied people and was a snob - as we see in her reception of the news of Elizabeth's engagement to Darcy and in her servile attitude to Lady Catherine. To sum up, Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mrs. Bennet has something incommon--- mercenary, overbearing, selfish and bullying. But they were different from each other-the attitudes to daughters, manners, temper...Jane and Bingley's relationship proved that too much prudent judgement can damaged, most severely, the possibility of lasting happiness. The two characters were immediately charmed by each other at the Meryton assembly. Jane's prudent judgement and utmost caution were apparent from the beginning of their relationship, and it was this factor which proved most damaging to any blissful future prospects, whilst Elizabeth was pleased that Jane displayed caution. Charlotte Lucas was surprised in her declaration that less judgement was required.Bingley, on the other hand, was not hampered by excessive prudent judgement in his following inclinations and courting Jane, and i t was his ac tiv i l y appro ach ing i n wo o ing Jane w hich eventually precipitated as a joyous and beautiful marriage. In her portrayal of Jane and Bingley's relationship, Austen provided a counterpoint to Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship by showing that an excessive amount of prudent judgement and caution can so muchtemper inclinations, such that with so little encouragement offered, prospects of lasting happiness can be endangered and lost. Through these two contrasting relationships, Jane Austen had skillfully drawn the fine line between too much of prudent judgement, because a rash, prejudiced approach towards inclinations, showing that a delicate balance of objective neutrality and strength of feeling under the appropriate circumstances must be demonstrated, in order to nurture to save any relationship, and to ensure its success.。

Book review of “Pride and Prejudice”"Pride and Prejudice" is a famous novel written by the British writer Jane Austen. It is mainly about a marriage story that Darcy who is considered of very pride and Lizzy has prejudice against him at the beginning overcame a variety of misunderstandings and difficulties. At the same time, the novel also portrays beautiful scenery and traditional custom in eighteenth Century England. In this novel, the words of Characters sometimes sound humorous and sometimes rational deep. The plots of the story are also so ups and downs that the readers are caught in them, taste joys and sorrows of the characters. Then, I mainly analyze the different marriages of eight characters in the novel to feel the author's view on love and marriage.1.Charlotte and CollinsCharlotte, one of Lizzy’s close friends, finally married Reverend Collins. Lizzy felt confused and also tried to persuade her friends because Collins wanted to propose to Lizzy just a few days ago. There is no love between them: for Collins, a wife just means the priest’s house in a certain area will has a mistress, and this is Mrs. Catherine wants him to do; for Charlotte, she married to a steady income person just for pursuing a steady life of the future days. Certainly, Lizzy always thought that there can be no happiness of them. However, Lizzie suddenly found their fade life may also be regarded as a kind of happiness, when she visited to Charlotte. In my opinion, this is marriage with no love based, appeared firstly in the novel, is the most disagreed marriage mode to the author.2. Lydia and WickhamWickham is so handsome and good at pleasing people that Lizzie even also had feelings for him at start. Actually, he is exaggerated and avaricious, and has a life full of luxury and waste. Lydia, the favorite girl to mother, is a youngest daughter of Bennet’s family. She loves communication, and meets a lot of young militiamen stationed in Meriton. Certainly, Wickham is also included. She is too young to dare, and never care others' tattle and prate about the elopement withWickham. It seems to be an certain event reflected at their personalities. People all hold the contemptuous attitude to their marriage, in addition to her mother. But, it is really a surprise to everyone that the marriage comes such fast. Lydia fall in love, forgotten about herself, lacked of intelligence; and Wickham is driven by money even he is treacherous and cunning. But the author seems to more appreciate this marriage than the previous one, probably because this marriage is based from love to a certain extent.3. Bingley and JaneThe marriage of Bentley and Jane earns not easily. They fall in love at first sight in the first party. But Bentley is not confident of this love, because of Jane's introverted temperament which emotions are not exposed on the face. Then, Bentley, with no independent, is persuaded by Darcy and his sisters to intend to put down this feeling. After Bentley left Netherfield, Jane went to London to hope to meet him in there. But she meets his sister instead. Miss Bentley visits to her later, but do not talk the news to Bentley about the meet and never plans to tell him. Jane feels very sad after she comes back. Jane keeps silence to others, may because she has the responsibility of the eldest in family. One day after the winter, neighbors heard Bentley will go back to Netherfield soon. It’s certainly good news to Jane, because she will be related to it largely. When Lizzy told her about it, Jane strongly denies and hides, but was very happy and excited inwardly. Bentley goes to Longbourn immediately after he comes to Netherfield.

Jane often ascribes all the people and things to the good side because of her kind-hearted and meekness. But, she is not so clever and intelligent, and lack the emotion filled with enthusiasm.Their marriage is easily interrupted by external factors, although It has the true love. The author speaks highly of this marriage that she may not be going to pursue.4. Lizzy and DarcyThey have a marriage capable of evoking praises and tears. It not only breaks the senses of hierarchy, but also is a typical moving love story with path winds along mountain ridges. By all counts, the author tends to this kind of marriage which let them fall in love after knowing each other increasingly.Darcy is mature, wisdom and full of sympathy, but doesn't have the talent of conversing easily with strangers because of his family education and personal character. Then, it let him hardly make a good first impression to others, such as mentioned in the novel, all the people in Netherfield think Darcy is a pride person. The truth will always be covering under surface. Lizzy conceives prejudices to Darcy at the beginning and against him everywhere, although she is a smart and well observing girl. What unexpected is Darcy slow begins to love Lizzy，no other than because of her incoordination. Influenced by the social values, Darcy strenuously suppresses this feeling. Before long, he leaves Netherfield.Darcy may be sure he will never meet Lizzy. Accidentally, they finally meet each other at Hednesford. At this moment, Darcy can’t control his love at all. He confidently makes a proposal of marriage, while Lizzy refuses completely. After knowing her attitude to himself, Darcy writes a long letter to her to explain the reason to persuade Bingley to leave and the conflict with Wickham. Lizzy is shocked when she has read the letter and starts slow to generate favorable impression. Darcy begin to change his pride character after being refused, as well.

After going to Longbourn to hope Lizzy make a promise not marrying Darcy, Mrs. Catherine finds her nephew to retell Lizzy’s words and ask him to make the same promise. But her words produce a contrary effects that Darcy retrieve the confidence to propose. It is no doubt to success this time.5. ConclusionIt represents four different match types, in the novel, of the four marriages between eight characters. The author expresses the most ideal match type to readers by comparing. She wishes both parties to a marriage will be intelligent and inner-directed and decide whether or not to be together each other after understanding gradually. It is a rarely good thought of author in that social background. The love story of Lizzy and Darcy has already spread all over the world. But, limited by the same background, the story writer describes can’t break away from the high society in England. After all, Darcy is a rich man whose annual income beyond 10 thousand and has more rights of free choice than average person. So, in my opinion, this love is worth praising, but is not typical.《傲慢与偏见》书评《傲慢与偏见》是一部由英国女作家奥斯丁所写的著名小说。
