Book review of “Pride and Prejudice”

"Pride and Prejudice" is a famous novel written by the British writer Jane Austen. It is mainly about a marriage story that Darcy who is considered of very pride and Lizzy has prejudice against him at the beginning overcame a variety of misunderstandings and difficulties. At the same time, the novel also portrays beautiful scenery and traditional custom in eighteenth Century England. In this novel, the words of Characters sometimes sound humorous and sometimes rational deep. The plots of the story are also so ups and downs that the readers are caught in them, taste joys and sorrows of the characters. Then, I mainly analyze the different marriages of eight characters in the novel to feel the author's view on love and marriage.

1.Charlotte and Collins

Charlotte, one of Lizzy’s close friends, finally married Reverend Collins. Lizzy felt confused and also tried to persuade her friends because Collins wanted to propose to Lizzy just a few days ago. There is no love between them: for Collins, a wife just means the priest’s house in a certain area will has a mistress, and this is Mrs. Catherine wants him to do; for Charlotte, she married to a steady income person just for pursuing a steady life of the future days. Certainly, Lizzy always thought that there can be no happiness of them. However, Lizzie suddenly found their fade life may also be regarded as a kind of happiness, when she visited to Charlotte. In my opinion, this is marriage with no love based, appeared firstly in the novel, is the most disagreed marriage mode to the author.

2. Lydia and Wickham

Wickham is so handsome and good at pleasing people that Lizzie even also had feelings for him at start. Actually, he is exaggerated and avaricious, and has a life full of luxury and waste. Lydia, the favorite girl to mother, is a youngest daughter of Bennet’s family. She loves communication, and meets a lot of young militiamen stationed in Meriton. Certainly, Wickham is also included. She is too young to dare, and never care others' tattle and prate about the elopement with

Wickham. It seems to be an certain event reflected at their personalities. People all hold the contemptuous attitude to their marriage, in addition to her mother. But, it is really a surprise to everyone that the marriage comes such fast. Lydia fall in love, forgotten about herself, lacked of intelligence; and Wickham is driven by money even he is treacherous and cunning. But the author seems to more appreciate this marriage than the previous one, probably because this marriage is based from love to a certain extent.

3. Bingley and Jane

The marriage of Bentley and Jane earns not easily. They fall in love at first sight in the first party. But Bentley is not confident of this love, because of Jane's introverted temperament which emotions are not exposed on the face. Then, Bentley, with no independent, is persuaded by Darcy and his sisters to intend to put down this feeling. After Bentley left Netherfield, Jane went to London to hope to meet him in there. But she meets his sister instead. Miss Bentley visits to her later, but do not talk the news to Bentley about the meet and never plans to tell him. Jane feels very sad after she comes back. Jane keeps silence to others, may because she has the responsibility of the eldest in family. One day after the winter, neighbors heard Bentley will go back to Netherfield soon. It’s certainly good news to Jane, because she will be related to it largely. When Lizzy told her about it, Jane strongly denies and hides, but was very happy and excited inwardly. Bentley goes to Longbourn immediately after he comes to Netherfield. The feeling is firmed on this this Bennett’s visit, although another help him to make this decision.

Bentley is a very modest, acclaimed man whose personality lacks opinions and his decisions are always influenced by other people. Jane often ascribes all the people and things to the good side because of her kind-hearted and meekness. But, she is not so clever and intelligent, and lack the emotion filled with enthusiasm.Their marriage is easily interrupted by external factors, although It has the true love. The author speaks highly of this marriage that she may not be going to pursue.

4. Lizzy and Darcy

They have a marriage capable of evoking praises and tears. It not only breaks the senses of hierarchy, but also is a typical moving love story with path winds along mountain ridges. By all counts, the author tends to this kind of marriage which let them fall in love after knowing each other increasingly.

Darcy is mature, wisdom and full of sympathy, but doesn't have the talent of conversing easily with strangers because of his family education and personal character. Then, it let him hardly make a good first impression to others, such as mentioned in the novel, all the people in Netherfield think Darcy is a pride person. The truth will always be covering under surface. Lizzy conceives prejudices to Darcy at the beginning and against him everywhere, although she is a smart and well observing girl. What unexpected is Darcy slow begins to love Lizzy，no other than because of her incoordination. Influenced by the social values, Darcy strenuously suppresses this feeling. Before long, he leaves Netherfield.

Darcy may be sure he will never meet Lizzy. Accidentally, they finally meet each other at Hednesford. At this moment, Darcy can’t control his love at all. He confidently makes a proposal of marriage, while Lizzy refuses completely. After knowing her attitude to himself, Darcy writes a long letter to her to explain the reason to persuade Bingley to leave and the conflict with Wickham. Lizzy is shocked when she has read the letter and starts slow to generate favorable impression. Darcy begin to change his pride character after being refused, as well. Then, Darcy does Bennet some great services, such as he gives money to Wickham to ask him to marry Lydia and encourages Bingley to propose to Jane. Lizzy appreciates him too much after kowning everything from her aunt. At this time, love already takes root among them. After going to Longbourn to hope Lizzy make a promise not marrying Darcy, Mrs. Catherine finds her nephew to retell Lizzy’s words and ask him to make the same promise. But her words produce a contrary effects that Darcy retrieve the confidence to propose. It is no doubt to success this time.

5. Conclusion

It represents four different match types, in the novel, of the four marriages between eight characters. The author expresses the most ideal match type to readers by comparing. She wishes both parties to a marriage will be intelligent and inner-directed and decide whether or not to be together each other after understanding gradually. It is a rarely good thought of author in that social background. The love story of Lizzy and Darcy has already spread all over the world. But, limited by the same background, the story writer describes can’t break away from the high society in England. After all, Darcy is a rich man whose annual income beyond 10 thousand and has more rights of free choice than average person. So, in my opinion, this love is worth praising, but is not typical.

《傲慢与偏见》书评

《傲慢与偏见》是一部由英国女作家奥斯丁所写的著名小说。它主要讲述是被认为傲慢的达西和一开始对他抱有偏见的利齐克服了种种的误会和阻碍而终成眷属的故事。与此同时，小说还刻画了十八世纪英国的风土人情。文中，主人公们的语言时而幽默诙谐，时而理性深刻。故事的情节又是那么的跌宕起伏，让读者陷入其中，感受的人物们的悲欢离合。接下来，我主要分析的是小说中不同人物的婚姻，以理解作者对爱情婚姻的看法。

夏洛特和柯林斯

夏洛特和利齐是亲密无间的朋友，最后嫁给了当牧师的柯林斯。这让几天前，刚受到柯林斯求婚的利齐无法理解，还试图规劝自己的朋友。他们之间根本无爱情可言：对于柯林斯来说，取一个老婆回家只是为了让在某某地区里牧师的房子有个女主人，而且这也是凯瑟琳夫人所希望他做的；对于夏洛特来说，嫁给一个有稳定收入的人，只是为了以后日子会过的平稳。利齐一直以为他们两个不可能有幸福。然而当去看望夏洛特时，利齐突然觉得他们这种平淡无奇的生活也许也算是一种幸福。不过，这种毫无爱情基础的婚姻，在小说中第一个出现，在我看来，是作者最不认同的婚姻方式。

莉迪亚和威克姆

威克姆长的英俊潇洒，又很会讨人喜欢，甚至利齐一开始也对他有好感。但他为人浮夸、贪财，生活奢靡无度。莉迪亚是贝加特家最小的女儿，最受母亲疼爱。她爱交际，结识了很多驻扎在梅里顿的民兵团士兵，当然也包括威克姆。她也年轻敢为，不在乎别人对于她和威克姆私奔的流言蜚语。他们两人的私奔似乎是性格上的必然事件。他们的婚姻除了莉迪亚母亲外，其他人都抱着鄙夷的态度。这场婚姻来的猝不及防，着实让大家吃了一惊。莉迪亚爱的奋不顾身但缺乏头脑，威克姆奸诈狡猾却受钱财驱使。但作者对这种婚姻似乎要比前一种要赞赏一些，可能是因为这场婚姻从一定程度上来说是出于爱情。

宾利和简

宾利与简的婚姻来之不易。在第一次的舞会上，宾利和简就一见钟情。但是由于简的内向，情感不露于形色，而使是宾利对这场爱情不自信。本来就没有主见的宾利被达西和他姐妹们的劝阻之后，就打算隔断与简的感情。宾利离开內瑟

菲尔德后，简去了趟伦敦，希望能在那里和宾利相遇，不想却遇到了他的妹妹。宾利小姐拜访了她，但没有把她来伦敦的消息告诉宾利，当然也不会告知他。简回来以后很伤心，却又没有对别人诉说，这可能因为是家中的长女而养成了一中责任感。冬天过后的某一天，左邻右舍都听说宾利要来內瑟菲尔德。这个消息对简来说当然是好的，因为很大程度上是会和她有关的。当利齐跟她说起这事时，简显得非常开心和激动，但却极力的否认和掩饰。宾利到了內瑟菲尔德后立马就来了朗本。这次拜访贝内特时他明确了和简对他的爱，虽然是由别人提的醒。

宾利虽然为人非常的谦逊，待人处事也非常受人喜欢，却没有多少主见，很多事都需要别人来帮他判断；简很善良，性格温顺，把所有的人和事都往好的方面想，却不是那么的灵动聪颖，也没有热烈的情怀。他们的婚姻有爱情的基础，但是却容易被外界因素所干扰。作者无疑对这场婚姻很看好，却不她所追逐的。

利齐和达西

他们的婚姻可歌可泣，不仅冲破了当时社会的门楣观念，还有着经典动人、峰回路转的爱情故事。从各方面来说，作者都是比较倾向于这种彼此之间逐渐了解而相互爱慕的婚姻。

达西成熟睿智，富有同情心，但是受家庭教育和性格的影响使他不善于轻易的和陌生人亲近。这也就会让别人对他第一印象很不好，如文中写的那样，內瑟菲尔德的人都认为达西是个傲慢的家伙。事实总是会被表象所遮掩。利齐虽然是个聪明伶俐、善于察人的姑娘，但一开始也对达西抱有偏见，处处都和他过不去。出人意料的事，正是因为利齐的处处不配合，才让达西渐渐的对她产生了情愫。但达西受着社会观念的影响，极力的压制内心的情感。不久，他离开了內瑟菲尔德。

他肯定以为再也不会见到利齐。阴差阳错的是，他们在亨斯福德相遇了。此时达西的情感再也抑制不住了。他跑去向利齐求婚，本以为会一帆风顺，结果却惨遭拒绝。达西从利齐那了解了她对自己的看法。他于是写了一封长信，解释了自己为什么劝走宾利和跟威克姆之间的过节。利齐看到这封信之后，内心很波动，开始慢慢地对达西产生了好感。达西被决绝后，慢慢的改掉了自己傲慢的态度。后来，他也帮了贝内特家很大的忙，包括出钱让威克姆娶莉迪亚和让宾利坚定和简的爱情。利齐从她舅妈那得知之后，对他很感激。此时，爱情早已在他们之间

生根发芽。凯瑟琳夫人来到朗本，希望利齐发誓不和达西结婚。没有得到利齐的同意后，她又去找自己的外甥达西，并且把利齐所说的话重说了一边。这反而让达西坚定再次向利齐求婚的信心。毫无疑问，这次他成功了。

总结

小说中八个主人公的四场婚姻代表了四种不同的成婚类型。作者通过它们比较向读者展示出了自己心中最理想的婚姻模式。她希望结婚的双方都睿智、有主见，不受外界因素干扰，然后相互之间逐渐了解后再决定是否在一起。在当时的社会背景下，作者能有这种思想着实难得。达西和利齐的爱情故事也因此在全世界流传开来。但是，也受时局所限，作者描绘的故事难脱离上层社会。达西毕竟是年收入超过万镑的富翁，有着比普通人士更大的自由选择权利。在我看来，这种爱情是值得赞扬，但不算典型。
