As an authoress in the eighteenth century in England, she had a sensible idea on love and marriage. On her whole life, she wrote six novels: Northerner Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion, which describes various kinds of characters and their everyday life. Pride and Prejudice, one of the well-known novels in the history of the English literature, was published in 1813. The story talks about trivial matters of love, marriage and family life between country squires and fair ladies in Britain in the 18th century. Through the description of the daily talks and doings of young men and women, Austen pointed their characteristics. All of the characters had different experiences, and acted in different ways. However, they had a common pursuit, that‘s ‗good marriage‘. This paper is to make an analysis of four marriages in Pride and Prejudice and discuss the deep outlook for their marriage in the light of social background at the time. In describing the characters‘everyday life and one marriage after another, Austen expressed her sensible view on it clearly. In her opinion, money was essential to a marriage while the equality in social status would increase the possibility of the marriage, but what affected the marriage most were manners. According to her, it was the good manners that united the heroes and heroines. Compared with the social scene on marriage nowadays, maybe her view was so restricted. But during her time, her view was so advanced that it was not accepted widely. On summary, we can find the author‘s ideaabout marriage from the analysis: marriage, property and social status interconnected, but not absolutely.Key Words: Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, analysis, marriage毕业设计(论文)原创性声明和使用授权说明原创性声明本人郑重承诺:所呈交的毕业设计(论文),是我个人在指导教师的指导下进行的研究工作及取得的成果。

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

- 242-校园英语 / 文艺研究简析简·奥斯汀《傲慢与偏见》中女性的婚姻观河套学院外国语言文学系/杨娜【摘要】简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》以四位女性角色丽迪亚、夏绿特、简、伊丽莎白各自的爱情纠葛为主线,分别形成了截然不同的四段婚姻,从中体现出简·奥斯汀的婚姻观,得出有益于现代女性取得幸福婚姻的重要因素。
【关键词】简·奥斯汀 《傲慢与偏见》 女性 婚姻观一、引论简·奥斯汀这位伟大的英国女性作家,曾被英国著名文学家和评论艺术家基布尔(T·T·Kebble)评论为“一位喜剧艺术家”,并认为她在“纯粹喜剧艺术方面仅次于莎士比亚”。
在2005年初,英国BBC 台在读者中开展的一项调查也印证了这一点:在英国社会对女性影响最大、曾改变女性世界观(主要是爱情婚姻观)的文学作品,简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》位列第一。
在这部探讨婚姻关系的作品中,奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》中描述了四对年轻男女截然不同的婚姻,诠释了不同的婚姻观念,这不仅没有完全脱离我们的实际,还给现代人带来很多启示。
二、《傲慢与偏见》中女性角色的婚姻在文中,作者着力从几位女性角色的角度刻画了几种不同类型的婚姻和爱情关系,夏绿特和柯林斯;丽迪亚和威克姆;伊丽莎白和达西等等。
尽管他们都走进了婚姻的围城,但是婚姻的幸福度却各不相同。
1.丽迪亚的婚姻。
丽迪亚是班纳特最小的女儿,生性开放,注重享乐,她的择偶标准则是男人是否有好看的外表,当威克姆出现后,她立即被其外表所迷惑,不顾一切与他私奔,婚后两人生活上挥霍无度,穷困潦倒,而威克姆更是与丽迪亚激情退去后就在外面寻欢作乐。
俩人的婚姻没有爱情,也没有物质基础,所以并不幸福完美。
2.夏绿特的婚姻。
夏绿特是一个非常现实的姑娘,深知自己家境一般,相貌平庸,又受到这个时期英国贵族传统婚姻观念的影响,个人的婚姻要服从于家庭的利益,重视由婚姻带来的经济利益。
傲慢与偏见婚姻观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 .

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.
