1、Papers on Jane AustenComment on Jane Austen s View of MarriageJane Austen is a quiet sunny little woman. Her life gives little opportunity for the biographer.With her sister she is educated at home, and passes her life very quietly, cheerfully. She doesn tmarry, but her writings about love are very

2、wonderful and successful. I admire her very much.In her famous novel Pride and Prejudice, she elaborates her view of marriage. She talks aboutfour pairs of marriage in her novel, Jane and Mr. Bingley, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, Charlotte andMr. Collins, Lydiaand Mr. Wickham. Jane isa simple, innocent

3、girl and never speaks evil ofothers. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes readingclassicbooks.Kitty doesn t have her ownopinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girlwho follows exoticthings, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. Mr. Bingl

4、ey is afriendlyyoung man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feelsuperior. Elizabeth pursues equality, independence and love. Mr. Darcy pursues inner beauty andlove. Jane and Mr. Bingley pursue love andinner quality. Charlotte and Mr. Collinspursuematerial life and ec

5、onomic foundation. Lydiaand Mr. Wickham pursue appearance and sexual.Austen thinks that 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

6、 the marriage as a trifling matter. She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage, and regards men and women's emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage. She thinks love is the most important factor in marriage. But fortuneis also very important. In her book, the w

7、oman protagonistElizabeth comes from the littlelandlord's family. She is a beautiful girl and she is pursued by a rich and powerful man Darcy. ButElizabeth doesn accept him,because she dislikes his arrogant. Because of this arrogant,shethinks that it is impossible to have the same opinion and id

8、eal marriage between them. After a longtime observation, when Darcy changes his attitude, Elizabeth removes prejudice for himandmarries him. Then they have a happy life. From this, we can realize the attitude that Austen treatslove. Even if you have many possessions, but you haven t a good inner qua

9、lity, you can not get agood love. I agree with her. In modern society, the concept of“ moneydetermines everything” isstill r ooted in some people s mind. Moreover, more and more people think that money can solveeverything, even the love. I don t think so. If you marry a man who you don t like, you w

10、ill nofeel happy. Because you will think what he does is wrong. You will not feel satisfied. You will often quarrel with him. When he is in trouble or when he has not money, you will leave him. On the contrary, even if he is poor, but you love him very much, you are willing to accompany him and work

11、 together with him. You will feel happy, because you are with the person you really love.Money is important, but it is not the most important. Money can let you have everything you want, but true love you can not get. If a poor man loves me very much, I will marry him and support him and help him. L

12、ove is the basis of marriage. Nowadays, many girls want to marry a person who is very rich. A lot of stars marry millionaires or billionaires. For example, Li Xiang, the famous host of Hunan TV , married a person who had a lot of possessions. However, when she found that the person was not richer th

13、an her, she divorced with him. From this, we can know that marriage thatis based on the money, can not last long. Of course, if you two have not money, you two willquarrel with each other. You want tobuy something, but your husband doesn t agree. He thinkswhat you want to buy is not necessary. You w

14、ill feel unhappy. If your demands are not satisfiedoften, you will be anger with your husband. Therefore, a happymarriage should have love andmoney.

26、and should not care!However, compared to the achievements of marriage for love is more important onsome! A happy marriage must be based on true love. However, marriage includedmany things, which were property, personality and rating.Jane Austin, as the famous nineteenth century woman writer, express

27、es her own viewpoints atmarriage and love by describing four different marriages in Pride and Prejudice.Jane didn t marry in her real life. She refused to marry a wealthy and promising man chosen byher parents because she didn lovet him. She loved an intelligent but poorlyyoung Irishmanthough their

28、parents andrelatives objected them. But atlast, Jane gave upher love with aconsideration of the happy marriage and love, and, didn t marry in life.Though Jane Austin didn t own marriage in her life, marriage and love are the main themes in herworks especially in Pride and Pr ejudice. In this novel,

29、we can find author s ideas about marriageand love through the analysis of those four different types of marriages.Marriage could not only depend on the property, which is well described in the combination ofvulgar Collins and ordinary Charlotte. Collins is eagerly tofind another one to regain his fa

30、cewhile Charlotte is eagerly to marry a man with good education and wealth. Charlotte felt that thelife would be better if there is no Collins after their marriage.Such marriage without love is toopractical, so it is a kindof superficial marriage without happiness. Apparently, it resultsin adespicab

31、le marriage. Thistype of marriage also suggests that happy marriage should have truelove, which is not owned by the couple of dissolute Wickham and empty-minded Lydia. We cansay this isa kind of impromptu love and marriage withouttrue love andresponsibility. Ofcourse, such kind of marriage is doomed

32、 to be a tragedy.The marriage of the able man-Bingley and the beautiful girl-Jane is ideal in most people s eyes.They loveeach other, Jane is beautiful enough to make Bingley love her and Bingley isrichenough tokeep Jane happy. In this couple, marriage should be based onlove and closelyassociation w

33、ith property and social status.The fourth marriage is the ideal marriage in Jane Austin s mind. Jane wrote herself in the novel asthe character of Elizabeth. Elizabeth objects the marriage for money and opposes the thoughtless marriage but stresses the importance of emotional factors. In the novel,

34、Elizabeth refuses to marry Collins and rejects Darcy in the first time though he is wealthy and has high social status. After3Darcy getting rid of his bad habits, they begin to understand each other and then fall in love with each other. Finally they get engaged.From the four marriages, we can see t

35、hat Austen expresses her views on love and marriage only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual understanding, respect and true love, but also by satirizing the marriage founded on the basis of origin and desire. The writer demonstrates her concept about love and marriage: love

36、and marriage can not only be decided by the property and social status, but also be based on mutual affection, mutual interesting and true love.The viewpoints of marriage and love above are also suitable in our life, which will make right marriage and love views to orients our lives.Jane Austen s vi

37、ew of marriageI haven finishedt reading the whole novel Pride and Prejudice, but I vewatched every film version of this great piece. From the novel, I discovered Jane Austen views of marriage. The novel Pride and Prejudice reflects the status of middle class women in marriage during the transitional

38、 period between the 18th and the 19th century. For most women then, marriage was notfor love but for the guarantee of economic status. Austen s marriage concept was influenced by her biographical background, class and experiences. She believes love is the most fundamentaland important condition for

39、a happy marriage, which should also be based on a large amount of money or a considerable fortune. It is perfect for one to get love and money at the same time. All these ideas are illustrated clearly in her masterpiece Pride and Prejudice, so it is the reflection of her concepts of marriage.Which s

40、hould we choose between love or money when we can t choose these two things at thesame time ？ And which style of marriage is a better one? Jane Austen described four kinds ofmarriages and compared them so as to show her likes and dislikes for different types of people. She expressed well her view of

41、 marriage in Pride and Prejudice which considered as a banner that advocated people should get married for love instead of only for money. To a certain extent, Prideand Prejudice was the writerhopes. The actress Elizabethwas the incarnationof Austen.Elizabeth and Darcy s marriage was an ideal marria

42、ge in Jane s heart and also in many peopleJane described some other styles of marriages to show us her view of marriage.Pride and Prejudice mainly describes the development of the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, an intelligent young woman and the daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilli

43、am Darcy, a rich and haughty aristocratic landowner. Darcy and Elizabeth are both clever and characterized as people with strong individualities and independent thinking. On love and marriage they have definite views as they think that a marriage should be a marriage of love and ought to rely on lov

44、e as its cornerstone.Darcy is rich and from a noble family. Being snobbish, he thinks it is easy for him to gain real love and happiness. If he only thought of money and social position, it would be more natural for him to choose Miss De Bourgh or Miss Bingley. But he would not do so for he believed

45、 there was no love between them. As for Elizabeth, he likes her because she is quick and clever. Gradually his4admiration grows into real love. At first he did worry about the disadvantages of marrying Elizabeth, especially the vulgar behavior of some of her family members and the humble position of

46、 her relatives. But at last his love for her succeeded in overcoming his vanity and he put love above all.Elizabeth, like Darcy, also seeks for true love. She will by no means accept a marriage without love. She regards the marriage of her parents, in which there is no love, as painful, unfortunate

47、and not beneficial to the children. She would not have refused Mr. Collins, if she had only consideredproperty and acomfortablelife. She is not that sortofperson.Shedespises Mr.Collins personality andexpressesher dislikefrankly. Thussherejectedhimresolutely.Her firstimpressions of Darcy were very ba

48、d. She was annoyed with his pride and didn t like him at all.Besides, she though t that Darcy didn t love her nor respect her. She rejects his offer of marriagethe first time when she says that you are the last man in the world whom I can ever be prevailed on to marry.Jane Austen shows a marked pref

49、erence for the marriage of the hero Darcy and the heroineElizabeth over all the others, praising it as an example for all young people. In her letter to hersister Cassandra she said of Elizabeth Bennet, "I must confess that I think her as delightfulacreature as ever appeared in print."Bein

50、g an unmarried woman, Jane Austen was acutely sensitive and highly imaginative. Her sensitivity and wisdom helped her see the relations between marriage and wealth and the relationsbetween marriage and the social system. By saying“ It arryiswrforngmtoney,m but it wassilly to marry without it ” , Jan

51、e Austen actually expressed her concept of an ideal marriage that is the marriage based on love and with money.People like Pride and Prejudice is not only because the plot was very charming, but also becausethis book transferred a message which exist in people s heart at all time. That s a hope t ha

52、ppy marriage.In Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice , she embodies four different marriages. The first is the marriage of Charlotte and Collins, their marriage is lucky and natural. They get married without any expectation. After being refused by Elizabeth, Collins is eagerly to find another one to re

53、gain his face while Charlotte is eagerly to marry a man with good education and wealth. So they get together. Such marriage without love is too practical, so it is a kind of superficial marriage without happiness. The second marriage is between Lydia and Wickham. This marriage is one without love bu

54、t only to satisfy their aspiration. It is a kind of impromptu love and marriage without true love and responsibility. Such couple only seek having had the experience but not everlasting andunchanging. It is doomed to be a tragedy. The third marriage is of Jane and Mr. Bingley. Their marriage is idea

55、l in most people s eyes. Mr. Bingley is an able man with a large fortune and also he is very well-behaved, Jane is a beautiful girl with a kind heart. Of course, this couple meets many setbacks, but the lovers get married at last and they live a happy life as their marriage bases on a favorite of mu

56、tual good impression and true love. In my opinion, the fourth marriage of5Darcy and Elizabeth is the main theme of the works. Mr. Darcy is very rich and has high social status. In Elizabeth s eyes, he is arrogant and unreasonable. Darcy loves her when he first sawElizabeth. After realizing the opinion of Elizabeth towards him, Mr. Darcy begins to get rid of those bad habits quietly to crate her taste and get impression and love of her. Because
