The author of the present thesis will analyze the five marriage patterns from the perspective of sociohistorical literary criticism to explore the important role that money and love plays in marriage. It can be seen clearly that Austen fully expresses her original views on marriage：property, social status and love are three indispensable elements in a marriage．It is wrong to marry for money，but it is unwise to marry without money. Austen‟s views on marriage emphasize love and economic condition, but love plays the significant role，which is the predominant aspect at Austen‟s time. The thesis tries to draw some inspiration from Austen and provide some hints for modern women in their view of marriage, and add something new into the literary criticism of the great work of Jane Austen.Key Words：Pride and Prejudice; views on marriage; love; property; realistic significance内容摘要简·奥斯汀是十九世纪英国文学史上最伟大的现实主义小说家之一。

本科毕业论文（设计）题目：论简奥斯汀作品《傲慢与偏见》中的爱情与婚姻LOVE AND MARRIAGE IN JANE AUSTEN’S WORK—PRIDE AND PREJUDICEA thesisSubmitted to the School of Foreign LanguageShenyang Normal UniversityIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree ofBachelor of ArtsBy Yang XiwenUnder the Supervision ofZhang LinApril 2009ABSTRACTJane Austen is one of the most remarkable women novelists in the world. As an authoress in the eighteenth century in England, she had a sensible idea on love and marriage. On her whole life, she wrote six novels: Northerner Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion, which describes various kinds of characters and their everyday life. Pride and Prejudice, one of the well-known novels in the history of the English literature, was published in 1813. The story talks about trivial matters of love, marriage and family life between country squires and fair ladies in Britain in the 18th century. Through the description of the daily talks and doings of young men and women, Austen pointed their characteristics. All of the characters had different experiences, and acted in different ways. However, they had a common pursuit, that‘s ‗good marriage‘. This paper is to make an analysis of four marriages in Pride and Prejudice and discuss the deep outlook for their marriage in the light of social background at the time. In describing the characters‘everyday life and one marriage after another, Austen expressed her sensible view on it clearly. In her opinion, money was essential to a marriage while the equality in social status would increase the possibility of the marriage, but what affected the marriage most were manners. According to her, it was the good manners that united the heroes and heroines. Compared with the social scene on marriage nowadays, maybe her view was so restricted. But during her time, her view was so advanced that it was not accepted widely. On summary, we can find the author‘s ideaabout marriage from the analysis: marriage, property and social status interconnected, but not absolutely.Key Words: Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, analysis, marriage毕业设计（论文）原创性声明和使用授权说明原创性声明本人郑重承诺：所呈交的毕业设计（论文），是我个人在指导教师的指导下进行的研究工作及取得的成果。

英语论文-范本《傲慢与偏见》中的婚姻态度（英文）The Attitude of Marriage in Pride and Prejudice: What Has Affected the Choice of Marriage?《傲慢与偏见》中的婚姻态度什么影响了婚姻选择？1“This is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”(Jane Austen, 2021:1) This sentence was stem from the English woman novelist Jane Austen, which was the typical of her masterpiece .Thus it brings out a classic story concerning love and marriage, which took place in England at the beginning of the 19th century.Marriage is a topic that never ends; it has gone through for a long time. However, it is still stared by the public without hesitation. The marriage and human being are closely related, but few people can place themselvesoutside .However, person is different from each other. It is for this reason, everyone has a different marriage. Many anthropologists and sociologists keep on research in this field. Many writers also describe the marriage in their own works. Pride and Prejudice, this famous novel, also presents it to us the different marriages, leaving us to think about the marriage.I. The Summary of Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice can be divided into three parts; the main story is unfolded by the Bennet’s family. Mr. Bennet is an England gentleman, he was living in the country, and at the same time he does not have not much of property and 2000 income of the pounds annually. In the meantime, he had fivedaughters, Jane, Elizabeth, kitty, Mary, Lydia. When Mrs. Bennet comes to realize that it is impossible to have a son and all their property will be inherited by a nephew, so it becomes Mr. Bennet biggest worry to find a husband with great property and social status .“However little know the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughter.”(Jane Austen, 2021:1) Thus, when Mrs. Bennet hears about that Netherfield in the neighborhood will move into a rich bachelor she will be very happy.What makes her exciting is that the gentleman still brings to his friend who is richer than himself. On the dancing party, a beautiful girl Jane who has a long hair, beautiful figure shows her dignity and wins the heart of Mr. Bingley. Mrs. Bennet is bloated and is laughed by Mr. Bingley. While Mr. Darcy is arrogant, in his opinion that on the whole party, expect for the Bingley Sister, dance with other woman all is to suffer mental agony .This lets everyone dislike him very much. Accidentally, Elizabeth hears about Darcy's discussion a bout her. “She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.” (Jane Austen, 2021:12) So she decides to leave Darcy alone.Jane goes and has a chance to visit to Bingley's family, but she is sick because of the raining in the half way, it is impossible to go home. Because of the deep sensibility between sister, Elizabeth visits to her on foot. Jane will be not willing to let her go, Elizabeth settles down. Jane recovers slowly, but Mrs. Bennet is very happy in that the two sisters have more chance to touch with the two rich gentlemen. Bingly loses his heart to Jane with time goes by, but the mistake between Darcy and Elizabeth is difficult to remove. However, Darcy has attacked by the alive and clever Elizabeth.When handsome military officer Wickham shows up, everyone is attacked by him,2Elizabeth has not exception. He tells Elizabeth that his father is the secretary of Darcy's father. Aft er Darcy’s father death, Darcy does notfollow the testament to look after Wickham. Because of the mistake between Elizabeth and Darcy, Elizabeth believes in Wickham's words without hesitation.At this time, Collins who is the Bennet family's prospector inheritor shows up in their daily life. With the help of the Darcy’s aunt, he gets a profession as a priest and satisfied with his situation. For this reason, he decides to marry a lady to compensate the losses the sisters have suffered for his inherit of their property. At first, he in favor of Jane, after taking the hind from Mrs. Bennet, he makes a proposal of marriage to Elizabeth, but he is refused. At last, he makes a proposal to Elizabeth’s friend Charlotte successfully.At the beginning of winter and his friends leave without saying goodbye, this makes Mrs. Bennet and Jane disappoints. Jane receives a letter from Miss. Bingley; which says in the letter that Darcy's sister and Mr. Bingley find each other are suitable. Jane is unhappy. But Elizabeth thinks that there must be some other reasons. Mrs. Bennet's brother Mr. Gardenia takes Jane to London to stretch her leg, but Jane all the time has no chance to see her beloved. Elizabeth is invested by her good friend to have a visit to her new house. Suddenly, Darcy makes a proposal of marriage to Elizabeth; his pose is still very arrogant so as to refuse by Elizabeth. Because she can not forgiveDarcy's arrogant to Wickham, because his prejudice breaks up Jane and Bingley. Darcy leaves in despair.In the summer, Gardenias and Elizabeth have a visit together, when they hear about Darcy is out of the house, by the way, their go to his park, while they meet with the Darcy who comes back in advance. Elizabeth finds that Darcy has changed. He is not pride anymore and does not look down on his family with low social status. What is most important, Darcy looks love her as usual.

This makes Darcy to realize that Elizabeth still love him.At the end，Elizabeth and Darcy, as well as Jane and Bingley live happily，While Mrs. Bennet is well to proud to marry three daughters.II. The Background of Pride and PrejudiceA. The Author of This NovelFrom my standpoint, a good grasp of the career of the author was a must to fully understanding a work. Jane Austin (1775-1817), the author of the novel Pride and Prejudice, was born in Steventon of Hampshire, where her father wasa rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family. Herfather and brothers once educated in Oxford. As a result, her family took possession of a big collection of books. She was well tutored at home underthe guidance of her brothers when she was very young. As3Jane Austin put it in Pride and Prejudice: \all the masters that were necessary.\Austen, 2021: 205) In addition to study, she could be seen in a variety of social intercourse. She kept observing and thinking in a world composed of familial and bourgeoisie background. Not only was she acclimatedto such style of life, she was also familiar with and fond of it as well. She considered it to be complete, animated and with the beauty of poem. Thereputed Charlotte Bront once remarked: “I would not li ke to stay in her small house with gentlemen and gentlewomen of her.”①(刘洪涛，2021：169) This seemed to have become a typical criticism. Jane Austin was not as narrow as that, in fact, she did enjoy the bourgeoisie life and never regarded it to be narrow. Conversely, she was longing to draw a picture of it literally and toair the feeling and understanding of her own, as a result of which sheachieved the masterpiece that Maugham considered to be perfect. Jane Austin's work was primarily concerned with the marriages and romance between man and woman, but the author herself who arranged marriages for the protagonists in novels never got married. Perhaps it was writing that she was enamored of. She started to write when she was young. She made the best of her time atbreakfast in writing from Miss. Sun and Love and Friendliness and gradually finished the first scripts and repeatedly revised. Sense and sensibility was finished in 1795, pride and prejudice in 1796 and Northanger Abbey in 1798.She was obscure at that and failed to find any press to publish her novels. In1809, Jane Austin’s family moved to Bath where she completed Mansfield Parkin 1812, Emma in 1814 and Persuasion in 1816. The works sense and sensibility and pride and prejudice during the early stage of writing came to be brought out since 1811 and Emma published in 1816 received a wide range of praise. Jane Austin became a famous writer afterwards. Much to our sorrow, when she had the opportunity to begin life anew, her health began deteriorating and died in July eight, 1817. Mansfield Park and Persuasion were published in the second year of her death. If Jane Austin lived a little longer, the reputation of her novels brought her could encourage her to produce more sterling works. In her times, with the advent of French Revolution and Industrialization, the development of capitalism hit a new hit. Conversely, she did not depict the great changes taking place in her times, but rather percepted and felt from the internal part of the bourgeoisie life, and on her close examination of the marriages, she tried to build ethic ties of honesty and harmony inside the changing class. Pride and prejudice is such kind of novel that is still popular nowadays. The literary criticism William Somerset Maugham even ranks it top ten of the most popular novels in the world. ①(牛庸懋蒋连杰,1986：123-124）B. The Social BackgroundNot only do we need to be well informed of a writer, more importantly, we should know the social background. Novels stem from life and go above life. To learn the social background can help us to understand better the genuine reason purposes of writers. Human entered into the period of paternity since Zeus created the huge scale of kinship. Through orthodox, order and various restrictions, paternal culture reduced women to inferior creature. Women's status was very low even in 18th and 19th centuries. Men snatched the control of economy, politics and ideology and they considered women as inferior animals and repulsed them overtly. ①(杨莉馨,从《傲慢与偏见》的结构谈简・奥斯丁的女性意识) The society with Jane Austin lived in witnessed a climax of the development4of capitalism, but the feudalism was still powerful, equality between men and women was still out of reach, especially in the distribution of inheritance, men enjoyed priority. The order of the division of the property went this: from male (a lineal consanguinity) to male (a collateralconsanguinity), and than to the female. ①(陈棠，理性的光芒---傲慢与偏见与简奥斯丁的婚姻道德观) So the ownership of the female property would see it destiny in the end. The novel Pride and Prejudice also mentioned: if one family did not have a male inheritor, their property would be only inherited by another male in the family; the only possibility for the female was to depend on this male inheritor. If the inheritor did not take them seriously, they would only wonder around the street. For this reason, finding a shelter for themselves without worrying about foot and clothes was of importance. It was in this type of social environment that brought up the truth that we have mentioned at the beginning of the passage. It was just for this piece of truth that provided the women hope and the object they were fighting for. At the same time, author advantaged of the marriage provided for the woman was that it could improve their economic and social status. After understanding the social background at time , definite the priority the female had in the property inherited and realized that the only way for the female as a social garniture was to get married , then it was easy to understand that Mrs. Bennet strongly desired to marry her daughters and the purpose of Elizabeth’s friend’s marriage as well as Mr. Darcy’s behavior to break up the affection between Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Bennet and Darcy’s aunt’s behavior t o opposite the affection between Darcy and Elizabeth. All of those became reasonable and logical.III. The Five Marriages in This NovelWhen knows the author and the society background, let’s look at the marriage in this novel. In Pride and Prejudice, there are five marriages. They are Bennets’ marriage, marriage of Jane and Bingley, marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy, marriage of Lydia and Wickham, marriage of Charlotte and Collins.We often say: “All happy families resemble one another; each unhappy family is its own way.” (托尔斯泰 2021:1) The persons are differences too. So every marriage has its own feature. When we begin to analyze these marriages, we can find out that the present social environment is not only factor that influences the marriages. As it is known to us, for the children, the family environment is more important than social environment. It maybe influences many aspects of children. But the main factor is the parents. Because parents are the first teachers for children, every word and behavior maybe affectstheir children. In this novel, we should analyze the Bennets’ marriage before we see other marriages.A. Bennet’s MarriageThere do not have the intuitional depiction about Bennet’s marriage. But what do children see and the dialogues between Bennets show us the unhappy marriage. Everyone knows that the foundation of the marriage is to understand each other. However Mr. Bennet is so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humor, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of the three and twenty years has been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. The husband and wife should have the equal levels which is another basic condition of the marriage. In this novel, Mrs. Bennet is a woman of mean5感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

英语作文傲慢与偏见
英语作文傲慢与偏见Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by Jane Austen in the early 19th century. It tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, a young woman from a lower-middle-class family who is determined to marry for love rather than for financial security. The novel explores themes of social class, marriage, and the role of women in society.One of the main themes of the novel is pride and prejudice. The title itself suggests that these two qualities are central to the story. Pride is a feeling of superiority or self-importance, while prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. Both of these qualities are displayed by many of the characters in the novel, and they often lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.One of the most prominent examples of pride in the novel is Mr. Darcy. He is wealthy, intelligent, and handsome, and he knows it. He is often aloof andcondescending towards those he considers beneath him, including Elizabeth and her family. His pride is so strong that it blinds him to his own faults and makes it difficult for him to form meaningful relationships.Elizabeth, on the other hand, is guilty of prejudice. She forms an opinion of Mr. Darcy based on his initial behavior towards her and her family. She believes him to be arrogant and rude, and she is quick to judge him without really getting to know him. Her prejudice prevents her from seeing the good in Mr. Darcy and causes her to miss out on a potential love match.Throughout the novel, both Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth learn to overcome their pride and prejudice. Mr. Darcy realizes that his behavior towards others has been hurtful and that he needs to change if he wants to be happy. He apologizes to Elizabeth for his past behavior and works to earn her respect and affection. Elizabeth, in turn, learns to see past her initial prejudices and to appreciate Mr. Darcy for who he truly is.In conclusion, Pride and Prejudice is a novel that explores the themes of pride and prejudice and their impact on relationships. Through the characters of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, Jane Austen shows us the dangers of these qualities and the importance of overcoming them. The novel remains a classic today because its themes are still relevant and its characters are still relatable.。

The author thinks that Bingley and Jane have many similarities in their characters which lead them to a successful marriage although they all lack strength in their marriage. The author also points out that Bingley and Jane married for love not for the money status or good looks. So the combination of them is really a blessed and happy marriage.Key words:Marriage Love Interests happyContentJane Austen( 1775-1817 )who was born at Steventon on December 16 1775 was one of the greatest novelists in England. She was the youngest of seven children in her family. She received most of her education at home. Her family are allfond of reading books which influenced her very much. Her reading extended little beyond the literature of the eighteenth century and within that period she admired Dr. Johnson particularly. And later she was delighted with both the poetry and prose of Scott. Shedied on July 18 1817 and was buried in the cathedral in Winchester. She totally wrote six novels in her life. Among the six novels Pride and Prejudice has been valued as the most successful and popular masterpiece. In this novel Jane Austen mainly described the ordinary life of the Bennets . She told us four different marriages to show the readers that different people have different attitudes towards love. Andalso she expressed her own viewpoints on marriage that a combination based on love and similar interests is a happy and perfect marriage. In her opinion the money-oriented marriage and sex-oriented marriage are not successful although the people can live together. The theme is narrow but she showed us a beautiful tableau of the England people’s life of her own time. It seems that she had a talent to describe the ordinary life of people.“Read again and for the third time at least Miss Austens very finely written novel of Pride and Prejudice. That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements and feelings andcharacters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with.”1Because of the lack of her experiences and knowledge the characters in Pride and Prejudice are all of her own social class: The ladies and gentlemen of the landed gentry. And also in every conversation there was at least one lady.“The conversations of ladies with ladies or of ladies and gentlemen together are given but no instance occurs of a scene in which men only are present.”2Most parts of the story are the intricacies of courtships and marriages between the members of her class which are great attraction to many readers.Among all the marriages in this novel the combination of pleasant Bingley and mild Jane is the most blessed and happy one. The couple has similar interests and they insisted on pursuing their true love which lead them to a happy and perfect marriage.Mr. Bingley was a good looking and gentlemanlike person whose revenues were about 5000 pounds a year. As a young man who had good breeding he was cordial and simple with easily-led disposition. With this character he never appeared dissatisfied. He was easy to approach and constant in love although he was veryrich.However he lacked strength and independence in his marriage which was a grievous defect of him. In the novel Bingley was popular with almost everybody in everywhere. He had a pleasant countenance and easy unaffected manners. It is easy to find that he was agreeable both in appearance and character. The first appearance of Bingley was the time when he “returned Mr. Benner’s visit and sat about ten minutes with him in his library.”3But the exact time when the readers began to know him was some days later. At the first ball at Nether field he was shown to everybody and the readers began to make acquaintance of his personality through his behavior.“Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room he was lively and unreserved danced every dance was angry that the ball closed so early and talked of giving one himself at Nether field. Such amiable qualities must speak for themselves.”4Of course these personal strength won Jane’s admiration. She thought that he was just what a young man ought to be. In her eyes Mr. Bingley was a sensible good-humored lively young man. And she had never seen anyone who had so many advantages with perfect good breeding He was just her Mr.Right At that ball,“Bingley’s attentions to Jane had given rise to a general expectation of their marriage. He spoke of it as a certain event of which the time alone could been decided.”5Mr. Bingley also noticed Jane at that night. He fell in love with Jane at their first ball and their romance flourished quietly and steadily. His affection towards Jane was obviously sincere and unaffected. It was obvious that when Jane suffered a trifling cold he was worried about her. His anxiety and attention to her was evident. For example when Elizabeth said that she couldn’t leave her sister because Jane’s illness was worse “Bingley urged Mr. Jones’s being sent for immediately.”6 and “Bingley was quite uncomfortable.”7 The following sentences also are the evidences:“but diffuseness and warmth remained for Bingley’s salutation. He was full of joy and attention. The first half hour was spent in piling up the fire lest she should suffer from the change of room and she removed at his desire to the other side of the fire-place that she might be farther from the door. He then sat down by her and talked scarcely to anyone else.”8It is not difficult for the readers to find Bingley’s real concernand affection towards Jane from these details. He was cordial and constant in his love.As a pleasant and modest person Mr. Bingley was far from the man who was strong and determined. This is his merit but also his demerit. His cordial and simple character leads to his quiet romance with Jane. But his weak and easily-led character leads to his parting with Jane. So when their romance went smoothly he suddenly departed from Jane which nearly ends his happy love and marriage.Generally speaking his departure from Jane was caused by the relationship between him and Darcy. They were good friends although they were different in character.Between them there was a very steady and constant friendship. Bingley was endeared to Darcy by the easiness openness and ductility of his temper. It is no doubt for Darcy that Bingley had the firmest reliance. For Darcy he wanted to help his friend. In his opinion it is impossible for Jane to love Bingley. So he persuaded Bingley not to take Jane in marriage. This point can be found from his letter to Elizabeth:“Her Jane look and manners were open cheerful and engaging as ever but without any symptom of peculiar regard and I remained convinced from the evening’s scrutiny thatthough she received his attentions with pleasure she did not invite them by any participation of sentiment.”9For Bingley he had an easily-led temper. He was so modest and pliable that he had no opinion about his own marriage. No matter how obvious his attachment to Jane was he believed Darcy’s representation of Jane’s indifference was true. Because Mr.Bingley’s two sisters didn’t like Jane they thought Mr. Bingley should choose Georgiana Darcy’s sister as his wife. So they also disagree with Bingley about his marriage with Jane. Under the influences of his sisters and Mr. Darcy Bingley beganto doubt Jane’s affection to him. Finally he thought Jane didn’t love him so he left her without saying good-bye. Later when all the misunderstandings clarified he came back to Jane at Darcy’s assistance. Bingley’s indecisive character determines his happiness and results that his life was controlled by others.Jane was the first children in her family. She was a kind and mild girl who was the most beautiful one among her sisters. As an introverted girl she is constant in her love but lacks strength and self-confidence. She didn’t want others to know her love to Mr.Bingley so she pretended that she had nothing to do with him. Compared with other girls she was the mostmild kind modest and almost perfect girl in this novel.Sometimes she was a little innocent. In her eyes everybody is perfect. She never saw the ugly fact of life even she was deceived. Her character is vividly showed in many parts of the novel. “Compliments always take you Jane by surprise and me Elizabeth never”10 and“Oh You Jane are a great deal too apt you know to like people in general you never see a fault in anybody all the world are too good and agreeable in your eyes. I Elizabeth never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life.”11According to this readers can find that how kind and innocent Jane was. And also it is quite natural for Jane to fall in love with the pleasant and simple Bingley. She met him at the ball and after then she adored Bingley very much. But with her introverted and tranquil disposition Jane controlled her passion too much which nearly consumed her felicity. Although she loved Mr. Bingley after the ball she had no courage to express it. She cherished her feelings towards him but she chose to conceal it. She didn’t display her true feelings. On the contrary she controlled her passion to the best of her ability lest anyone find it. She only showed genteel pleasure and politeness although her heart was fluttering withromantic passion. In a sense her attitude towards love was passive.According to the above Darcy thought that though Jane was pleased with Bingley she didn’t love him. He thought Jane’s “countenance and air was such as might have given the most acute observer aconviction that however amiable her temper her heart was not likely to be easily touched.”12In his eyes Bingley was involved in an unavailable love. So after then he made great efforts to separate Bingley from Jane. After Bingley’s departure Jane suffered great distress. She was very depressed. But because of the defect of her character she pretended to be all right and said nothing about her sadness. Here readers can find that her weakness and obedience had been thoroughly exposed.In the novel Bingley and Jane never stopped pursuing their true love although there were so many obstacles between them. Fortunately with the help of Darcy and Elizabeth they finally got married and had a happy life. Bingley and Jane had many similarities in their characters which is the main reason to the success of their marriage. They possessed personal attractiveness and dignity social graces and a measure of good sense. They all had good breeding but lacked insightstrength and self-confidence. They didn’t show their insides easily to the publics because they cared the social criticism too much. For Jane she always concealed her true feeling swhich gave others a illusion that she didn’t love Bingley. For Bingley he yielded easily to criticism of Jane’s social position and easily accepted the suggestions of his sisters and Darcy which almost consumed the felicity between Jane and him. In manner of speaking the outside forces facilitated their marriage.According to the relationship between Bingley and Jane love and similar interests are the basic factors of a successful and happy marriage. With many similarities in character people can understand each other easily. Most important of all the couple with similar interests can live together with a happy life because there are understandings helps and supporting between them. They don’t care the defects of their partners and even they don’t see any faults in each other. Just as the old saying going “Birds of a feather flock together people of a mind fill into the same group.”Notes1.Walter Scott The Journal of Sir Walter Scott March 1826.2. W. F.

傲慢与偏见婚姻观main meaning:Marriage is the central topic in Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma:the plots of the novels and the actions of the characters revolve around marriage. For Austen's characters, marriage does not mean the act of ungoverned passion but a complex engagement between the marrying couple and society. Austen's characters are completely integrated into society and play out the stories within the social rules.Based on Socialist-feminism, this thesis examines social background in Austen's time and explores how social conditions influence females' psychological struggle and anxiety toward marriage. For Socialist-feminists, material factors shape women's marital consciousness in determinate ways. The discussions of male class and female status in the end of the eighteenth century are helpful for understanding why marriage is the central topic in Austen's novels. In a sense, marriage is regarded as a market place to exchange upward class mobility and financial support for Austen's characters. In order to achieve the goal of marriage, females are good at transforming themselves into commodities by displaying their appearances and accomplishments to appeal to male gazers. They realize that marriage can provide opportunities of class mobility and financial support; money and class are thus closely connected in their decision of marital partners.keywords:Plot overview ;.Analysis of the major character ;Themes;Motifs ;Pride and Prejudice ;marriageThe feeling of 《Pride And Prejudice》Then man treat great event in one's life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself's marriage view: 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 .

Elizabeth watches conducting oneself in society and a series of behavior of reaching the west personally afterwards, See he change the proud conceited expressions of passing by, dispel misunderstanding and prejudice to him, Thus concluded the happy marriage with him.Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn't have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.Then man treat great event in one's life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself's marriage view: 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 .

Reach the thes of the west in fact status' the reflections of difference, exist this kind arrogant, Not having common thoughts and feelings between he and Elizabeth, the marriage that can not have lofty idealsThe family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen's favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is the best classic book, according to a poll of Times readers. One in ten ranked the novel, published in 1813, as theirfavourite work to have been written more than 100 years ago.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. She has a gift of telling a story in a way that has never been surpassed. She rules her places, times, characters, and marshals them with unerring precision. Her machinery is simple but complete; events group themselves so vividly and naturally in her mind that, in describing imaginary scenes, we seem not only to read them but to live them, to see the people coming and going—the gentlemen courteous and in top-boots, the ladies demure and piquant; we can almost hear them talking to one another. No retrospects; no abrupt flights, as in real life.In this paper, the characteristics of language using and writing styles in Pride and Prejudice were presented.People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.I couldn't forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father's possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything”is still rooted in some people's mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children's marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one's marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our society. We can't help thinking: can money determine everything?Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at hertime and in modern time.In “pride and prejudice”, there is no twist polt as well heartquaking scene, reverse, as if the author only write it casually. But her lofty narrate technique is attracting many readers and essayists. The graceful dialog in the book plays an important role in the depiction of the characters.[参考资料]REFERENCE[1] Butler, Marilyn, Jane Austen and the War of Ideas, (Oxford: Clarendon ), 1975:216[2] Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, eds.
