Jane Austen’s Outlook on Marriage

----My idea after reading Emma 英语本0609 韩宏斌061411191 Having reading Jane Austen’s famous novel Emma, which is considered as her most classic work, I lost myself in pondering one word—marriage.

This novel is composed by some marital stories which are connected by Emma, the matchmaker. Through the novel, we can see people’s outlook on marriage in England at that time. In the 18th century, women craved for marrying a gentleman who possessed considerable wealth and high social status. Love, seemed of no significance. This was because at that time, women had no right to inherit the possession. Their only way to live a desirable life after their fathers’ death was to marry a wealthy man who also possessed high social status. That is why in Pride and Prejudice Mrs. Bonnet was crazy to marry her daughters off.

In the novel Emma, we can see that this outlook had great influence on Jane Austen on the grounds that almost all marriages created by her are on the basis of wealth and social status. However, Austen had her own idea. She also emphasized love. From her point of view, happy marriage= love + wealth + equal social status.

In the novel, Austen narrated different kinds of marriages to express her idea, but all of them had relations with wealth, social status and love. Now, we will perceive how her marital outlook was embodied in the novel.

In Emma, what impresses me most is not Emma and Knightly’s combination, but Jane and Frank’s story. When I was reading the novel, their strange behaviors aroused my interest. They didn’t unveil their relationship until Frank’s aunt’s death. Why? That was because Mrs. Churchill, frank’s aunt would n’t agree their marriage at all. It was reasonable at that time. Jane was an orphan who was brought up by her father’s friends. She had no noble background and no possession, which would not match the noble Churchill family. Even though Jane was elegant and well-educated, she still would not be accepted by rich family. This was a cruel phenomenon in English. Therefore, I guess, when Frank showed his attachment to Jane, she accepted willingly. I guess that she was eager to marry a rich and noble man to avoid herself of becoming a governess, whose life was just like a slave. Did they love each other? Maybe, but not very deeply. To some extent, Frank was just a little gentle. He had no capacity to match Jane if not considering the factors of wealth and social status. Anyhow they married for God’s sake. Here Austen pointed that wealth and social status attached great importance in marriage. Austen cast her criticism to the sad fact that people’s eye was only on wealth and high social status.

Compared with Jane, Harriet’s marriage was not that successful. Harriet, the miserable girl, even didn’t know who her father was. Her position was so inferior that she had no choice but to rely on her so-called best friend—Emma. Under Emma’s matchmaking, Harriet thought she should fell in love with Mr. Elton. However, it was impossible because she was too obscure to match the rich and prestigious vicar.

Failing in love with Elton, Harriet turned her goal to Knightly, but it was unrealistic too. On one hand, it was by virtue of the disparity of wealth and social status; on the other hand, Knightly loved Emma. In Austen’s eyes, marriage without love was contemptuous. At the same time, Emma was under an illusion that Harriet would fell in love with Frank. Actually, at first, Harriet’s experience was a tragedy. Austen criticized the scornful phenomenon of marriage on society by the example of Harriet.

To draw a shot conclusion, in Jane and Harriet’s cases, I don’t think Austen appreciated them very much. She just wanted to unveil England’s outlook on marriage at that time. Obviously, Austen gave her criticism to it. However, she didn’t deny this kind of marriage absolutely since she gave Jane and Frank love and they married at last; Harriet also found her happiness with Martin (we will mention it later). This illustrated that Austen didn’t think marriage without enough money and social status was possible. Then, we will ask, what kind of marriage did Austen prefer?

Well, let us take Harriet as an example again. Constant failure in love led to Harriet’s realization of her mistake. Finally, she found her Mr. Right—Mr. Martin. As a matter of fact, at the beginning we can see that Harriet and Martin loved each other. Just because of Emma’s luring that Harriet should look for a better man to match her, they did not get together. I figure that according to Austen’s standard of marriage, Harriet and Martin matched very much. Martin was a peasant who was industrious and good hearted. He had the ability to support the family. At last, Harriet’s identity was also discovered. She was the illegitimate daughter of a trade person. Both of them had low social status .The most important point was that they loved each other. Therefore, marriage with wealth and equal social status as well as love was preferred by Jane Austen.

Another example is Mrs. Weston and Mr. Weston’s marriage. We know that Mr. Weston married Miss Churchill at first, but their marriage caused hardship to both. Miss Churchill came from a wealthy and noble family who was obviously superior to Mr. Weston, who was only a trade man. His second marriage was happier because their social status was more equal---Mrs. Weston was a governess before marriage. What’s more, they loved each other and respected each other. Comparatively speaking, they lived a happy and comfortable life.

From these two cases, we can fathom what kind of marriage Jane Austen preferred--- love is the basis; enough wealth and equal social status are necessary. These two examples are nice explanation on Austen’s outlook on marriage, but not the best one. In her mind, Emma and Knightly are the best combination of Marriage.

Emma was the richest lady in Austen’s writing. She owned an income of 30,000 dollars every year. As the leading role of this novel, she possessed distinct characteristics, but the most important point that she was the one who preferred to be single rather than marry one she didn’t love at all. This paved the way for Emma and Knight’s love. Finally she realized her true love and dared to pursue it owning to her character. As to Knightly, he had been the guidance of Emma and loved Emma from heart. Knightly was a respected landowner and enjoyed high reputation. Considering all the factors, from sentiment, wealth and social status, they were appropriately matched. Therefore, I figure, this was what Austen appreciated the most. With the

combination of love, wealth and high social states, Emma and Knightly must lead a happy life.

However, is it possible for every lady to marry her Mr. Right? I don’t think so. Here the story ended as a happy ending, but it is not easy to find Mr. or Mrs. Right at that time. I can’t help thinking Austen’s life. During her 42 years’life, she didn’t marry. She devoted to creating happy marriages without creating hers. Maybe just as film Becoming Jane described. She met 3 men in her life. The one who had loving her in heart destroyed her happiness. The one she had to marry was disgusting. The last one was the layer. Even though they loved each other, they couldn’t be together because of social reality. Therefore, Austen chose to be single. As far as I am concerned, Austen’s failure in marriage just because she had the desire to get rid of earthly marital outlook at that time, but at the same time she couldn’t find the one who matched her from all aspects. Therefore, she gave up; instead, she poured all her feelings into lovers in her books and delivered her ideal pattern of marriage.

The draw a conclusion, in the novel Emma, Austen conveyed her criticism towards peoples’outlook on marriage that took wealth and high social states as the only factors on marriage, neglecting love. She expressed her marital outlook that marriage should be on the basis of love but at the same time should take wealth and equal social status into account. I figure even today, Austen’s marital outlook is well worth our deep consideration. Let’s remember Emma and remember Jane Austen.

Jane Austen's works简奥斯汀的作品

Jane Austen, she is one of the greatest authors in Britain history. I really admire and appreciate her works, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility. In my eyes, every heroine has her own uniqueness, different from other girls in those novels. They are so brave to pursue their love, no care about the prejudice, the gossip from their parents, their neighbors , their relatives, even the society. In addition, all of them succeed in loving their true love; all the endings are so good and so beautiful. Every time, when I saw the couple got together after suffering so many misfortunes in the very end of the novel, I cried for happiness, not for sadness. From those heroines’ character, I really can find a genuine image of Jane herself. Although I do not know clearly about her love, her lover, I can easily get the information that she missed her true love from her whole single life. Therefore, she sets the hopes into her novels, encourages everyone who love somebody by heart has courage to pursue their true love.

关于简奥斯丁的评论(英文)

生平和作品 THE IMPRESSION of the condition of the Church of England in the eighteenth century which is conveyed by the character and writings of Laurence Sterne receives some necessary modification from a study of the life and works of Jane Austen. Her father, the Reverend George Austen, held the two rectories of Deane and Steventon in Hampshire, having been appointed to them by the favor of a cousin and an uncle. He thus belonged to the gentry, and it seems likely that he entered the church more as a profession than a vocation. He considered that he fulfilled his functions by preaching once a week and administering the sacraments; and though he does not seem to have been a man of spiritual gifts, the decent and dignified performance of these formal duties earned him the reputation of a model pastor. His abundant leisure he occupied in farming the rectory acres, educating his children, and sharing the social life of his class. The environment of refined worldliness and good breeding thus indicated was that in which his daughter lived, and which she pictured in her books. 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. Besides the usual elementary subjects, she learned French and some Italian, sang a little, and became an expert needle-woman. Her reading extended little beyond the literature of the eighteenth century, and within that period she seems to have cared most for the novels of Richardson and Miss Burney, and the poems of Cowper and Crabbe. Dr. Johnson, too, she admired, and later was delighted with both the poetry and prose of Scott. The first twenty-five years of her life she spent at Steventon; in 1801 she moved with her family to Bath, then a great center of fashion; after the death of her father in 1805, she lived with her mother and sister, first at Southampton and then at Chawton; finally she took lodgings at Winchester to be near a doctor, and there she died on July 18, 1817, and was buried in the cathedral. Apart from a few visits to friends in London and elsewhere, and the vague report of a love affair with a gentleman who died suddenly, there is little else to chronicle in this quiet and uneventful life. But quiet and uneventful though her life was, it yet supplied her with material for half a dozen novels as perfect of their kind as any in the language. While still a young girl she had experimented with various styles of writing, and when she completed "Pride and Prejudice" at the age of twenty-two, it was clear that she had found her appropriate form. This novel, which in many respects she never surpassed, was followed a year later by "Northanger Abbey," a satire on the "Gothic" romances then in vogue; and in 1809 she finished "Sense and Sensibility," begun a dozen years before. So far she had not succeeded in having any of her works printed; but in 1811 "Sense and Sensibility" appeared in London and won enough recognition to make easy the publication of the others. Success gave stimulus, and between 1811 and 1816, she completed "Mansfield Park," "Emma," and "Persuasion." The last of these and "Northanger Abbey" were published posthumously. The most remarkable characteristic of Jane Austen as a novelist is her recognition of the limits of her knowledge of life and her determination never to go beyond these limits in her books. She describes her own class, in the part of the country with which she was acquainted; and both the types of character and the events are such as she knew from first-hand observation and experience. But to the portrayal of these she brought an extraordinary power of delicate and subtle delineation, a gift of lively dialogue, and a peculiar detachment. She abounds in humor, but it is always quiet and

的社会地位也会有所改善。《傲慢与偏见》围绕班纳特先生家五位待嫁女儿的婚姻问题展开,分别通过对伊丽莎白与达西,简与彬格莱,莉迪亚与威克汉姆,夏洛蒂与柯林斯等几桩婚事的描写,深刻反映了作者在婚姻问题上最为典型的几种不同的观点。 二、小说概述 《傲慢与偏见》这部作品以日常生活为素材,反映了当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。这部社会风情画式的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者,时至今日,仍给读者以独特的艺术享受。简?奥斯丁擅长通过描写生活琐事来刻画人物鲜明的性格《傲慢与偏见》是其代表作,故事围绕爱情和婚姻而展开。在该作品中,作者把爱情、婚姻和财产、社会地位联系起来,着重讲述了班纳特一家五个待嫁女儿及其亲友的爱情、婚姻故事,描写了当时社会中人们对婚姻的各种不同看法和做法。五种婚姻贯穿全书:老班纳特夫妇情趣不合的婚姻;小女儿莉迪亚与威克汉姆因情欲而结合的婚姻;夏洛蒂为衣食之计而委身于柯林斯的畸形婚姻;简和彬格莱两情相悦终成眷属的美满婚姻;以及故事的主人公Elizabath(伊丽莎白)—小乡绅之女和Darcy(达西)—有钱有势的公子由于对方的傲慢和偏见而产生误会,但最后屏弃前嫌,真诚相爱的幸福婚姻。细致入微地描述了这几起不同的婚姻,通过对比向读者展示出作者心目中理想婚姻观:恋爱婚姻与财产和社会地位相关联,但恋爱婚姻不能仅取决于财产和社会地位,婚姻应建立在相互爱慕与尊重的基础上。她既反对

Jane Austen’s View of Marriage Abstract Everyone wants to have a happy marriage. Jane Austen‘s novels about love and marriage is always regarded as a classic. Jane Austen thinks that marriage in her time is a financial contract, where love is strictly a matter of chance. It is clear from her novels: ―It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.‖ Her novels described some different marriages of the young women, which reveals that love is the base for a happy marriage, and also should be based on the money. It is perfect for young women to get love and money at the same time. From Jane Austen‘s perspective, a perfect marriage meant having both love and money.She strongly opposes that marriage only based on wealth and places much emphasis on the importance of emotion in a marriage. Key words:Jane Austen Love Money Happy Marriage

Becoming Jane《成为简奥斯汀》英文观后感

Becoming a woman,becoming a legend "A woman especially if she has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can." ――Jane Austen The movie, Becoming Jane, fabricates a character, the hero Tom Lefroy, to show us audience Jane Austen’s romance. It ever or never happened in Jane’s life. Nevertheless undoubtedly, the movie is a successful one. We are all moved by Jane’s sense and sensibility. Jane completes a legend by her lifetime of becoming a great woman. There are many commentaries on the film―― Her own life is her greatest inspiration. Between Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice was a life worth writing about. No one can ignore Jane’s achievement. Six immortal works about romance leave us a deep impression on the importance of being together with our true love. Relatively, few people know Austen’s own romances. She never get married. I think many people would like to consider that Jane uses her life to memorize a love and explain her understanding about love. She insists. She believes a marriage without love will never be happy, and a love without money will never be real. According to the movie, the great novel, Pride and Prejudice, is based on Jane’s love story with Tom Lefroy. The arrogant and handsome hero in the fiction insinuates Tom who is just a practical lawyer. But Darcy is rich, independent, owning authority and position, while Tom relies on his uncle and has little money. At the same time, the beautiful, clever and a little extreme Elizabeth just insinuates Jane herself. Obviously, there is an insurmountable distance between the novel and the reality. In the Pride and Prejudice, Darcy and Elizabeth get together eventually. Yet Jane and Tom Lefroy can only be friends, not lovers. In my mind, Jane is trying to give herself and Tom a happy ending in her novel which will never come true in reality. What will we do when our dream is so different from the reality? To surrender or to surmount? Maybe there can be a few people protect their love to go through their life, like Jane Austen, and never betray their love. However, the courage is not owned by everyone.

《傲慢与偏见》中简·奥斯汀的婚姻观分析【摘要】简?奥斯汀作为西方著名作家,是英国作家群体的代表人物之一。 她通过描写英国普通民众的生活,创作出了经典巨著《傲慢与偏见》。书中通过描述各种不同的婚姻类型和人世间的人情冷暖,反映了她心目中的婚姻价值观念。 【关键词】《傲慢与偏见》简?奥斯汀婚姻观作品分析 《傲慢与偏见》中,简?奥斯汀把四对男女的爱情与婚姻进行了详尽描述,简?奥斯汀以其女性的独特视角揭示了19世纪社会的价值观与年轻人的婚姻观与价值观,同时通过对这些故事的描述揭示了简?奥斯汀自己对婚姻观的理解。简?奥斯汀在书中描写的四种婚姻,本质上反映了当时的英国资产阶级的婚姻现状,金钱和利益相结合成为了当时婚姻的普遍现象。这些婚姻现状的事实既与简?奥斯汀的婚姻观有出入,同时又有些类似。简?奥斯汀本质上认为婚姻的美满与否其关键在于爱情和互相的尊重,但金钱作为婚姻的基础物质保障,对婚姻的美满与幸福同样具有重要意义。 《傲慢与偏见》中不同类型的婚姻所表达的婚姻观 1.盲目的婚姻体现出的婚姻现实。在《傲慢与偏见》中,威科姆和莉迪亚的婚姻让人看到了盲目的婚姻、混乱的生活以及悲剧的现状。莉迪亚在简?奥斯汀的笔下是一名性格轻浮多变、内心空虚、肆意妄为而且生活混乱的女孩,简?奥斯汀甚至用下流来形容莉迪亚。莉迪亚尽管愚昧无知,但仗着自己年轻,颇有几分姿色,才得以不断追求被人爱慕的虚荣感觉之中。而威科姆正是一名纨绔子弟,他整天不务正业、游手好闲,曾经为了还欠下的巨额赌债,而追求金小姐和达西小姐,同时他满嘴谎言,处处想着通过婚姻发一笔大财。正是威科姆这种肤浅、虚伪的人投中了莉迪亚的胃口,最后金钱在威科姆和莉迪亚的婚姻中起到了决定性的作用,二人结为夫妻,但他们的婚姻毫无情感和理智,纯粹是赤裸裸的金钱交易。[1]威科姆和莉迪亚的这种毫无道德的婚姻,简?奥斯汀呈批判的态度。 2.现实婚姻中的婚姻观。在《傲慢与偏见》中,现实的婚姻中往往不乏对爱情和金钱的双重描述,夏洛蒂?卢卡斯和柯林斯牧师的婚姻是现实婚姻的真实写照。夏洛蒂是一个聪明懂事的女孩,她对婚姻和现实往往有着独到的见解,她对自己与柯林斯的婚姻看得很清楚。夏洛蒂认为在英国当时的婚姻本质是爱情和感情在婚姻中永远只是配角,婚姻某种程度上是保证家庭荣誉和家庭财产的策略。夏洛蒂的父亲表面上有着不错的社会地位,实际上是没落的家族,夏洛蒂知道父亲已经不能为她拿出一分钱的嫁妆。面对冷酷的现实,为了家族的荣誉以及未来生活的保障,夏洛蒂不得不接受与一个她不爱的人结婚。[2] 柯林斯牧师在夏洛蒂的眼里是一个无趣甚至品德不高的人,性格极傲慢、自负又谄媚谦卑,而他结婚的目的也很明确,是为了迎合他的恩主凯瑟琳夫人对他的期望,同时也为了通过自己的婚姻建立自己在教区内的威望。 3.幸福婚姻中的婚姻观。简是《傲慢与偏见》中善良与美德的化身,简在简?奥斯汀的笔下如同娴静的希腊女神。而宾利同样也被简?奥斯汀赋予了西方典型绅士的翩翩风度。简和宾利的婚姻是简?奥斯汀对美满婚姻的美好愿望与期待。简在晚会上遇到了宾利,并且双方一见钟情。后来,简生病了,宾利在简的庄园中不离不弃、关怀备至,两人日久生情。幸福美满的爱情往往不是一帆风顺的,

简·奥斯汀生平简介

一、【作者生平简介】 简·奥斯汀[1](1775年12月16日~1817年7月18日)简·奥斯汀出生在英国南部汉普郡一个乡村牧师家里,未进过正规学校,在家里由父母指导学习,终身未婚,四十二岁时与世长辞。奥斯汀十二三岁时就开始创作故事、戏剧和小小说。一七九五年她开始写作《埃莉诺与马里纳》,这就是她后来发表的第一部小说《理智与感情》的雏形。一年以后,一七九六年她开始创作《初次印象》。一七九七年《初次印象》完成后,未能出版。这部小说后经作者修改更名为《傲慢与偏见》,于一八一三年一月在伦敦问世,这是她发表的第二部小说。此外,自一八一一年至一八一八年她先后发表了《理智与感情》、《曼斯菲尔德庄园》、《爱玛》、《诺桑觉寺》和《劝导》等五部小说。奥斯汀生长在十八世纪末十九世纪初封建保守势力相当强大的英国乡村。在这样的时代中,妇女只能在其所生长的阶层的圈子中生活。 社会习俗禁止她们在社会的任何其他领域里活动。奥斯汀出身英国乡村的中产阶级家庭,与之交往的都是乡间那些乡绅贵族的绅士淑女,生活圈子自然十分狭小。奥斯汀就在这样狭小的天地里观察、研究和创作。虽说:“在乡下一带地方,你是在一个非常狭小而又一成不变的社会里活动。”“乡下能为这样的研究提供的对象一般是很少的。”“可是人本身是经常不断变化的,在他们身上永远都可以观察到一些新的东西。”奥斯汀就以她特有的敏锐洞察力观察着她所处的社会和她身边的人与事,研究各种人的性格及其变化。在这样的观察研究中,奥斯汀最关注的是妇女的命运。在奥斯汀所处的当时社会里,一般妇女除了当老处女和家庭教师外,别的惟一出路就是嫁人。嫁一户有钱有地位的体面人家,就成了一个年轻小姐得到并保持可靠社会与经济地位的理想途径。尤其是那些“一般财产不多,教养有素的青年女子,都是把结婚当作惟一一条未雨绸缪的体面出路,不管如何心中无数,幸福难卜,结婚成家都是她们最可心合意的避风港,预防她们以后不致缺衣少食。”因此,要赢得一位理想的丈夫似乎就是奥斯汀小说中那些年轻小姐们的人生惟一目标,而她们为达到这一目标不断地进行着有形无形的激烈竞争。奥斯汀的小说都是围绕着乡绅贵族绅士淑女的恋爱求婚、男婚女嫁的错综复杂的情节来展开的。作者通过这些情节,用细腻的笔触深刻剖析作品中人物的心理,展示他们的道德品质,表现作者关于人生、特别是婚姻的道德观。她批判当时大多数联姻的方式,而且她小说中的大多数婚姻都是有缺陷的。但她同时通过她的故事告诉读者,理想的婚姻是可能的。这种理想婚姻的主要品质,除了女方花容月貌天生丽质、男方英俊潇洒一表人才之外,就是彼此了解,情投意合,心心相印,自由平等,互敬互惠,它将对彼此的炽烈爱情融合在稳定融洽、相互促进的家庭关系之中,所以她小说的所有女主人公都是为真正的爱情而结婚,而不是为终身有靠而草草苟合。她通过《傲慢与偏见》中贝内特小姐的口说:“没有爱情千万不要结婚。”她批判那种惟利是图的金钱婚姻,但她并不把金钱与爱情绝对分开,而且显示金钱在确立稳固的理想婚姻中起着决定性的作用。正如《傲慢与偏见》开宗明义的第一句话所幽默指出的:“一个家财万贯的单身汉,必定需要一位太太,这是一条举世公认的真理。”奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》这部小说里最仔细审慎地剖析描述了绅士淑女恋爱求婚的全过程,并全面透彻地说明了她所谓的理想婚姻的各种基础。 从18世纪末到19世纪初,“感伤小说”和“哥特小说”充斥英国文坛,而奥斯汀的小说破旧立新,一反常规地展现了当时尚未受到资本主义工业革命冲击的英国乡村中产阶级的日常生活和田园风光。她的作品往往通过喜剧性的场面嘲讽人们的愚蠢、自私、势利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱点。奥斯丁的小说出现在19世纪初叶,一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流,继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统,为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备。虽然其作品反映的广度和深度有限,但她的作品如“两寸牙雕”,从一个小窗口中窥视到整个社会形态和人情世故,对改变当时小说创作中的风气起了好的作用,在英国小说的发展史上有承上启下的意义,被誉为地位“可与莎士比亚平起平坐”的作家。 简·奥斯汀是世界上为数极少的著名女性作家之一,介于新古典主义和浪漫运动的抒情主义
