1、 4/4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 havent attracted anyones eyes. We all know that at the first ball, when Lizzy asked Mr Darcy to have a dance. He refused. He didnt think that anyone at the village can d

2、eserve 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

3、and no prejudice are between them. The novel also reflected the author oneselfs 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 womens emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage

4、. 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 peoples attitudes toward marriage in that time. We can comprehend the essence of Jane and Bingleys marriage, Elizab

5、eth and Darcys marriage , Lydia and Wickhams marriage and Charlotte and Collinss marriage through Elizabeths 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 bas

6、ed on love and sense. 2 The analysis o f Elizabeths 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

7、and independent. Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collins 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 a

8、nd 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 so

9、cial 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 El

10、izabeths views about her sisters and friends marriage 3.1The most realistic marriage Charlottes 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

11、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 Lydias marriage Lydia and Wickham is absurd combination of extremely. Their relationship is completely built on lust and appearance, no love fo

12、undation, 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 Janes marriage Jane and Bingley marriage is considered the happiest marriage. Jane and Bingley match each other fa

13、ces, 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 Janes beauty and Bingley, Jane attracted to kind of handsome and Bingley attracted gentleman poise, their love more performance

14、 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. Thats not enough deep-rooted, let I dont feel safe, seem to lurk trace dangerous breath. 3.4 Th

15、e most admirable marriage Elizabeths 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).

16、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 Darcys first marriage proposal didnt refuse words may Darcy for her

17、infatuation will not lasting. If no refusal dialogue, Darcy or that although multimillionaire, although a handsome, but too arrogant on high. For such people, Elizabeth even for impulsive and agreed to marry him, in the near future, Elizabeth still will be sorry. And if not rejected that after lette

18、r, Elizabeth is still that although bright, beautiful, frank, but too subjective and prejudice, for such people, Darcy will soon tired. Because have these twists and turns, the love between them is more precious, more deeply. 4 Conclusion There is no doubt that Elizabeth and Darcys love is the shini

19、ng pearl in the history of literary, and their love is the ideal mode which has been esteem by Austen(Zheng 79). The authors view about marriage: it is wrong to get married for property, money and position. Getting married without considering that above-mentioned factors are unwise ether. So that sh

20、e objects to get married for money, objects to regarding the marriage as a trifling matter. She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage, and regard men and womens emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage Love is impulsive and is of no reason no passionate, and full

21、of madness. Love itself is crazy. However, how many people can love with madness? The reality is cruel, marriage doesnt equal to love, and this ideal are away from us far away. Darcy and Elizabeths marriage is the happiest, with deep-rooted of love, and a necessary condition that Darcy strongly weal

22、th. Money is not secular in their marriage wasnt secular; the wealth is just like sunshine and nutritions their marriage is of much envy for any person. If marriage is such a castle, so Id like to be trapped in such a city, Are being loved besieged not a kind of happiness? As far as I concerned, Pri

23、de and Prejudice reflects the British sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative，and tells us different ways and attitudes to the marriage between Mr. and Mrs. Bennets five daughters. This reveals the authors attitude toward marriage .An

24、d that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, and it is very stupid. And we must emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, oppose to love and marriage based on money or property(Hu 17). We must take the affection or love as the cornerstone of ide

25、al marriage between male and female. Elizabeth was born in the family of squireens, and loved by Darcy. Darcy proposes marriage to her in spite of their difference of the possession of property and social status, but is still refused by Elizabeth because of his pride. So if Darcys pride still exists

26、, there will be no love and even happy marriage between Elizabeth and him. And I think pride and prejudice arent very good. If someone is always full of pride, he will look down upon others and think he is very great and smart. Because of Darcys pride, Elizabeth hold prejudice against him. If someon

27、e is a prejudiced person, every time he meets somebody or something, what he thinks of others all depends on his foregone experience and his mood of the time. Whats worse, he doesnt think what he does is wrong. He thinks everyone is the same as him and everyone has his special way to know the world,

28、 but it is absolutely wrong. Though everyone can be judged in the way he likes, he cant ignore others. He can like what he likes and hate what he hates, but he should be objective when he treats others. So I think we should consider things rationally and thoughtfully and not just do as we like. That

29、 is to say, we shouldnt have any pride and prejudice, or we couldnt treat things and others impartially and it couldnt lead a happy life.
