傲慢与偏见文献综述

1 Introduction

The main story of the novel happens between Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy。

Although, it seems that, they haven’t attracted anyone’s eyes。 We all know that at the

first ball, when Lizzy asked Mr Darcy to have a dance. He refused。 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.

At last, when everything comes to light Lizzy regretted. She found that she had

misunderstood Darcy。 And Darcy had although changed. He made an offer of

marriage to her again and was accepted。 No pride and no prejudice are between

them。

The novel also reflected the author oneself's marriage view： It is wrong to marry

for the property， money and position。 She emphasizes the importance of the ideal

marriage, and regard men and women's emotion as the foundation stone which

concludes the ideal marriage 。

Just because Pride and Prejudice, I have a profound thinking about marriage. The

writer uses intelligent words to depict a few different marriages in the book， each of

which reflects people’s attitudes toward marriage in that time. We can comprehend the

essence of Jane and Bingley’s marriage， Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage , Lydia and

Wickham’s marriage and Charlotte and Collins’s marriage through Elizabeth’s views。

Through the wise heroine， we see marriage description。 To marry for wealth and

beauty is wrong。 This kind of marriage cannot retain long—term happiness, and

truly happy marriage is based on love and sense.

2 The analysis of Elizabeth’s character

Elizabeth Bennet is a person worthy of our imitation. She is a model because

she is different from all the other characters, except Darcy, and because she does not

adhere rigidly to the standards set forth by society， she is self—reliant and

independent。 Elizabeth rejects Mr。 Collin’s proposal because she does not think that

marriage was boring, nor does she believe in marriage of convenience. When Mr.

Collins says arrogantly to Elizabeth, she politely refused him。 Unlike Charlotte Lucas， 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. Elizabeth looks nature because she puts her trust in her own perceptions and

impressions。 On the other hand， she is not ready to rebel against society. She does

not totally disregard social proprietary. She has good manners; her slight breach of

decorum walking alone to Nether field Park is justified by her genuine concern for her

sister who is ill。 She has good manners. When Lady Catherine criticizes Elizabeth

skill of playing piano, she can have good manners to keep polite.

3 Elizabeth’s views about her sisters' and friend’s marriage

3。1The most realistic marriage - Charlotte’s marriage

For money and marriage， Charlotte by marriage just wants to get a rich husband, thus she

can have the economic security。 Marriage for them is a task, but Collins couples obtain from

the marriage what they want： Charlotte gets stable of rich life； Collins also gets a warm

home。 This is their understanding of marriage.

3.2 The most ridiculous marriage — Lydia's marriage

Lydia and Wickham is absurd combination of extremely。 Their relationship is

completely built on lust and appearance， no love foundation， say， is neither

practical nor romantic。 Lydia got erotic satisfied； Wickham also get what he wanted

wealth， this is their understanding of marriage。

3。3The most happy marriage — Jane’s marriage

Jane and Bingley marriage is considered the happiest marriage. Jane and Bingley

match each other faces， male prodigy， anyone opinion, they are the most suitable

for together. Their marriage， love， in my opinion， is not the main base， the main

is a kind of attraction。 For Jane’s beauty and Bingley， Jane attracted to kind of

handsome and Bingley attracted gentleman poise， their love more performance for a

mutual admiration of love. Marriage is a complicated contract, both parties must have

enough love to maintain the basis of this contract。 But Jane and the love between the

Bingley too insipid， too。 That's not enough deep-rooted, let I don't feel safe, seem to lurk trace dangerous breath。

3。4 The most admirable marriage — Elizabeth's marriage

The marriage is tortuous between them but again ups deep-rooted of love based。

"Economic and social structures with such great power sways interpersonal the

relationships between people and this made her became the cartoonist monster”(D.W。Hardin 166—179)。 With first marriage proposal as a border, in thinking

changed not only is Elizabeth, and Darcy. Elizabeth because Darcy letter, to realize

their prejudice； Darcy because Elizabeth words, to realize their arrogance. If

Elizabeth for Darcy’s first marriage proposal didn’t refuse words may Darcy for her
