That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with. The big bow-wow strain I can do myself like any now going; but the exquisite touch, which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting, from the truth of the description and the sentiment, is denied to me.—From "The Journal of Sir Walter Scott," March, 1826.We bestow no mean compliment upon the author of "Emma" when we say that keeping close to common incidents, and to such characters as occupy the ordinary walks of life, she has produced sketches of such spirit and originality that we never miss the excitation which depends upon a narrative of uncommon events, arising from the consideration of minds, manners, and sentiments, greatly above our own. In this class she stands almost alone; for the scenes of Miss Edgeworth are laid in higher life, varied by more romantic incident, and by her remarkable power of embodying and illustrating national character. But the author of "Emma" confines herself chiefly to the middling classes of society; her most distinguished characters do not rise greatly above well-bred country gentlemen and ladies; and those which are sketched with most originality and precision, belong to a class rather below that standard. The narrative of all her novels is composed of such common occurrences as may have fallen under the observation of most folks; and her dramatis person? conduct themselvesupon the motives and principles which the readers may recognize as ruling their own, and that of most of their own acquaintances.—From "The Quarterly Review," October, 1815.Lord Macaulay 评论SHAKESPEARE has had neither equal nor second. But among the writers who, in the point which we have noticed, have approached nearest to the manner of the great master we have no hesitation in placing Jane Austen, a woman of whom England is justly proud. She has given us a multitude of characters, all, in a certain sense, commonplace, all such as we meet every day. Yet they are all as perfectly discriminated from each other as if they were the most eccentric of human beings. There are, for example, four clergymen, none of whom we should be surprised to find in any parsonage in the kingdom —Mr. Edward Ferrars, Mr. Henry Tilney, Mr. Edmund Bertram, and Mr. Elton. They are all specimens of the upper part of the middle class. They have all been liberally educated. They all lie under the restraints of the same sacred profession. They are all young. They are all in love. Not one of them has any hobby-horse, to use the phrase of Sterne. Not one has a ruling passion, such as we read of in Pope. Who would not have expected them to be insipid likenesses of each other? No such thing. Harpagon is not more unlike to Jourdain, Joseph Surface is not more unlike to Sir LuciusO'Trigger, than every one of Miss Austen's young divines to all his reverend brethren. And almost all this is done by touches so delicate that they elude analysis, that they defy the powers of description, and that we know them to exist only by the general effect to which they have contributed.—From essay on "Madame D'Arblay," 1843.My point of view towards the masterpiece of Jane Austen’s is that this novel reflects the English human sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative，and tells us the difference ways and attitudes to marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet’s five daughters’. Thereby reveal the author herself attitude towards marriage, that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, but it is also stupid Without considering all of these. There, the author emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, to be opposed to love & marriage based on money or property and to be opposed to people’s laugh love & marriage off. The author takes the affection/love as the cornerstone of ideal marriage between male and female. Elizabeth as the leading character in this novel, was born in the family of squireen’s, and is loved by Darcy. Darcy propose marriage to her in spite of difference in the possession of property and social status, but is refused by Elizabeth for his pride , the novel demonstrate that if the pride of Darcy’s existed ， there will be no love and also happy marriage between Elizabeth and he, it is really nice that Elizabeth witness the changes of Darcy’s through series of behavior in the following days. viewing that he is no longer pride and then eliminating her prejudice to him, finally engaged with him and leading a happy marriage. The author described that female is in pursuit of independent personality and equal right through several different attitudes of Elizabeth for Darcy’s propose marriage. Meanwhile, demonstrate Elizabeth’s independent understanding for a happy marriage. In this article, the writer described several unperfect marriages of Elizabeth’s sisters and close friends, aimed at making a sharp contrast with Elizabeth’s beatific marriage and revealed that marriage without love but base on social status and property actually is a kind of public tragedies. Humorous, ironical, polished language and real storyline is also occurred in this article.第二篇：英文书评傲慢与偏见 Love actuallyPride and Prejudice is a masterpiece written by a British writer named Jane Austen. In the book, she expressed the relationship between love and marriage in a humorous way and showed different attitudes toward marriage by depicting several young women of different descent, economic position and horizon of knowledge.The story talks about four marriages which occurred in Britain in the 19th century. And the most important among them are protagonists Elizabeth and Darcy. Elizabeth is pretty and smart. As for love and marriage, she has her own strong principle that she won't be confused by money and status but to insist on looking for true love. While Darcy is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Therefore, she has a prejudice against him. Pride and prejudice lead to the unpleasent and misunderstanding between them. However, after clarification of various matters , they gradually fall in love and conclude the happy marriage.In the book, Jane clearly explained that it is wrong to get married for the property, money and status. She emphasized theimportant of the ideal marriage and regarded men and women's emotions as the foundation stone.As far as I am concerned, I have learned two things from the book,o n the one hand, pride and prejudice are very common weakness among us,therefore, everyone can easily driven by their own subjective feelings and misunderstanding of others. Only in-depth understanding can we know a person's inner world. On the other hand, Elizabeth insists on her emotions and isn't confused by money and status, pursues her love bravely. Although we have different pursuits, I hope I can carry on like her. After all, uphold the dream is a happy thing.第三篇：傲慢与偏见英文书评 Pride and PrejudiceⅠ.Reading experience:I watch the movie Pride and Prejudice during last winter vocation, and I found it very attractive.

傲慢与偏见 赏析 英文
The Appreciation of Pride and PrejudiceAfter see the movie of Pride and Prejudice, I have thought deeply more about the figures. Everyone was special even unique and they were differed in many ways. Each person was stood for one character and all above of them were added some charm to the movie in some degree.I think Mr. Bennet was a negative figure and an ironic person. And he was also very sharp and clever. But to associate the author’s point of Mr. Bennet, however, was to ignore his ultimate failure as a father and husband. He was very clever but he always kept away from the matters that occured around him. And that made him became an ineffective parent and husband. He made no advice to his wife and little daughters to away from bad manners, so that his wife and his little daughters always behaved ridiculously and even badly. After Lydia eloped with Wickham, Mr. Bennet was proved that he was unable to handle the situation. Thanks to Darcy and Gardiners, the elopement has been solved . He was a likable, entertaining character, but he never managed to earn the respect of the viewers who ever watched the movie.In this movie, Jane Austin portrayed many characters with distinguishing features. There were two typical women that viewers may no t fo rget--- Lady Cather ine de B o urgh and Mrs. B ennet.Maybe the Lady Catherine de Bourgh who caused Anne's invalid state. Because Anne were to attempt things and did them badly, then her mother’s blame would be shown up as hollow. Lady Catherine de Bourgh prevented much shortcomings from appearing by keeping he from all exertion. And as a result, Anne had became thin but sickly. Besides, Anne seemed very selfish. She kept Charlotte outside in very cold weather; she did not talk to her mother's guests but only to the housekeeper. Maybe that’s because of her mother’s improper teaching.Compared with Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mrs. Bennet was quite different from her, except that they were mercenary, overbearing, Compared with the attitudes that Lady Catherine de Bourgh showed towards Anne, Mrs. Bennet was the directly reason of Jane's and Lydia's misfortunes, and she also brought about Elizabeth's sufferings.She was a poor judge of character, and failed to understandanyone. We saw this in her enthusiasm for Collins and Wickham and her disapproval about to Darcy, especially stressed when Elizabeth has just accepted Darcy's proposal about their marriage. Jane Austen also described that Mrs. Bennet's had an uncertain temper to her supposed “nerves”.That’s a little funny. And Mrs. Bennet was one example among many in the movie of ill-breeding and bad manners: She lacked consideration for others .She was overbearing and domineering. She had no restraint and no sense of propriety - she would discuss her family affairs with anyone. She lacked intelligent conversation.Furthermore, she was vulgar, not only in her loud, unintelligent chatter, but in the absence of decency in matters such as Lydia's wedding or the whereabouts of Lydia and Wickham when they were married. What’s more, she also had no moral shame, because she flaunted Lydia and Wickham when they came to visit her family. She bullied people and was a snob - as we see in her reception of the news of Elizabeth's engagement to Darcy and in her servile attitude to Lady Catherine. To sum up, Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mrs. Bennet has something incommon--- mercenary, overbearing, selfish and bullying. But they were different from each other-the attitudes to daughters, manners, temper...Jane and Bingley's relationship proved that too much prudent judgement can damaged, most severely, the possibility of lasting happiness. The two characters were immediately charmed by each other at the Meryton assembly. Jane's prudent judgement and utmost caution were apparent from the beginning of their relationship, and it was this factor which proved most damaging to any blissful future prospects, whilst Elizabeth was pleased that Jane displayed caution. Charlotte Lucas was surprised in her declaration that less judgement was required.Bingley, on the other hand, was not hampered by excessive prudent judgement in his following inclinations and courting Jane, and i t was his ac tiv i l y appro ach ing i n wo o ing Jane w hich eventually precipitated as a joyous and beautiful marriage. In her portrayal of Jane and Bingley's relationship, Austen provided a counterpoint to Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship by showing that an excessive amount of prudent judgement and caution can so muchtemper inclinations, such that with so little encouragement offered, prospects of lasting happiness can be endangered and lost. Through these two contrasting relationships, Jane Austen had skillfully drawn the fine line between too much of prudent judgement, because a rash, prejudiced approach towards inclinations, showing that a delicate balance of objective neutrality and strength of feeling under the appropriate circumstances must be demonstrated, in order to nurture to save any relationship, and to ensure its success.。

The novel highlighted the character of Elizabeth to express the author’s pursuit ofself-realization and her awareness of feminism. This paper first explores Elizabeth’s personality in the terms of plot, conversation and comparison between other figures, especially on Elizabeth’s self-esteem, intelligence, reason, pursuit of freedom and equality. Then this paper sums up the deep causesof Elizabeth’s which are affected by internal factors, external factors as well as the influence of Austen’s feminism. From the above analysis, readers might get a deep understanding of the image of Elizabeth.1. Introduction1.1 Introduction of the authorJane Austen (1775-1817), an early 19th century woman writer, has been regarded as a great classic novelist in World literature. Austen was born in 1775 at Steventon in Hampshire, England. As a daughter of the local rector, although she never accepted formal school education, she was well educated by her family. The wide range of activities within the Austen family –country walks, charades, reading, writing stories and family plays constituted a rich informal education for the children, and stimulated Jane Austen’s ambition to become a novelist [1]1. As a matter of fact, besides drawing and playing the piano, all her education was closely linked to read her father’s books of both the serious and the popular literature of the day. So she read a lot, at the age of 11or 12, she began to write [2]1. During her life,she looked upon her writing as her child. As a female novelist, with her unique feminine sensitivity, she focused on love and marriage of the women at that time and finished six vivid and dramatic novels through her short life: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816), Northanger Abbey (1818), and Persuasion (1818). Her novels are highly praised not only for their light irony, humor of her contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying serious quality. “For Jane Austen was compelled to accomplish an almost unprecedented feat—to become an artist while remaining a lady.”[3]345 Walt Scott recognized her achievement in Pride and Prejudice and confided to his journal, “That young lady had a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I never met with. They indicate the confirmation of Austen’s status in the literary field. This confirmation comes from the profundity her works reveal and her special insight into the society she lived in.”[4]56Austen is good at describing people’s different kinds of marriage from the perspective of people’s pursuit and value of marriage. From her novels, readers can get a clear picture of the customs of the upper middle class, such as the relation betweenmarriage and fortune, the awakening of women at that time, etc [2]2 . Pride and Prejudice is her representative novel. The title, Pride and Prejudice, is originated from one sentence in a book Evelina written by an English writer called Fanny Burney. The sentence is roughly like this: “the whole unfortunate accident is the outcome of Pride and Prejudice.”The initial title of the novel “Pride and Prejudice”is “First Impressions”[5]31. Austen began to write Pride and Prejudice at the age of 21, but the manuscript “went begging”for 16 years at the doors of publishers before it was published in 1813. The plot is simple, but the author has described vivid pictures of the everyday life of simple country society. Through the description of the daily talks and activities of young men and women, Austen paints their characteristics. She is at her best in writing about young girls, because she understands them very well.1.2 Plot of Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice focuses on a pair of sisters as they pursue prospects for marriage. There are five Bennet sisters in all, including the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia, who have beenraised by their shallow mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband for each of her daughter. Because lacking of a male heir, Mr. Bennet’s property has been inherited to his nearest male relative, Reverend William Collins. Their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy young man Mr. Bingley and his best friend Mr. Darcy arrive in their neighborhood. Bingley immediately falls in love with Jane because of her beauty and sweetness. However, his noble friend Mr. Darcy offends Elizabeth by pronouncing her “tolerable”looking and refusing to ask her to dance. From then on, Elizabeth holds a deep-rooted prejudice against Darcy. However, Mr. Darcy finds himself increasingly attracted by Elizabeth’s charm and intelligence. Elizabeth meets Darcy by accident while visiting Charlotte and Mr. Collins. She is shocked when Darcy suddenly proposes to her, and angrily rejects him, accusing him of separating Bingley and Jane and of being unjust to Wickham and of humiliating her and her relatives. The next day Darcy gives her a letter explaining and justifying his conduct. Elizabeth gradually comes to accept the truth of everything Darcy says and has more reason than ever to regret her prejudice against the man. But then Elizabeth’s sister Lydia elopes with Wickham, who has no intention of marrying her. Darcy deals with this event quickly, who pressures Wickham intohonoring his commitment thereby preserving the Bennet family’s good reputation. [11]18-20 At last, when Darcy returns to the neighborhood, he comes to propose again. This time he is accepted.2. The manifestations of Elizabeth’s character“I must confess that I think her as delightful a character as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know.”[6]4 This was how Jane Austen described her character Elizabeth Bennet. From this sentence, we can see that Elizabeth is Austen’s favorite character. Austen’s attitude and her ideal of life are expressed through Elizabeth’s rational view of love and marriage, her actual choice and her satisfactory ending. [2]25 Elizabeth’s light spirit and courage, wit and readiness as well as good sense and good feeling make her stand above other characters in the book.2.1 ReasonComparatively speaking, Elizabeth is the most wise and rational person in her family. Her mother “was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper”[7]3; her father is able to adapt himself to different circumstances and very passive; and her three sisters who are very shallow, reckless, self-willed. Elizabeth lives in a world which full of the foolish people, but she is the only one who has the ability of reason. From the above analysis, we can draw a conclusion that Elizabeth is out of the ordinary and has worldly wisdom.“She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.”[7]8 Although Mr. Darcy refused to dance with her and made unfavorable remarks on her on their first meeting in the dancing party, Elizabeth could still tell the story of Darcy’s insult to her friends [8]46. This action shows her maturity and her ability to see humor even in something offensive to her, “for she had a lively playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous”[7]9. After the first dancing party, the conversation between Elizabeth and her elder sister, Jane, reveals that Elizabeth can see the faults of Bingley’s sisters whereas Jane can not. “Elizabeth…with more quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than hersister, and with a judgment too unassailed by any attention to herself, she was very little disposed to approve them. They were in fact very fine ladies; …but proud and conceited”[7]11.Elizabeth shows her ability of reason in handling marriage. The most impressive scene is that she refuses Mr. Collins’s proposal, though Collins warns her that other proposals may not be made to her because of her impoverishment. However, Elizabeth doesn’t love him, she refuses his proposal firmly. She would rather stay single than marry to Mr. Collins. She can choose the proper things that suit her. So Elizabeth’s pride is based on her ability of observation, analysis and selection.When Elizabeth realizes the truth and tries to overcome her prejudice to Darcy, her reason plays an important role. After she read of Darcy’s letter by self-reflection, analysis, comparison and self-criticism, she not only changes her mind against Darcy, but also comes to a moment of intense realization of herself[9]65-66. “She grew absolutely ashamed of herself. Of neither Darcy nor Wickham could she think without feeling that she had been blind, partial, prejudice, absurd. ”[7]178 She said, “I never knew myself.”To deny one self is really the beginning of one’s progress. Here Jane Austen put forward a positive view of lifeand suggests a way of finding a valid mode of existence, of achieving harmony. The world as it is, but the individual can define his world, and thus conquers it to lead a contented, yet aware life if he is prepared to take a painful and possible difficult path [3]345.2.2 Self-esteemCompared with Darcy, the difference is that Elizabeth doesn’t have a sense of superiority on her social status and family origin, on the contrary, she has clear awareness and special sensitivity [10]84-86. Thus when Elizabeth rejects Lady Catherine’s despotic demand, she evaluates herself by counterpart’s moral values, saying, “Your nephew is a gentleman, I am a gentleman’s daughter, so far we are equal. [7]306”In contrast with Charlotte Luca’s obsequiousness before Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Elizabeth is without doubt much more respectable for her self-esteem. Elizabeth behaves quite admirably when she condemns the lady to her face that she is not entitled to interfere in her concerns, and directly makes clear her standpoint.“I am only resolved to act in that manner which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.”[7]307When Lady Catherine thinks younger girls in a family were not permitted to enter the society before their elder sisters did so, and insults Elizabeth’s parents who are regarded doesn’t educate their daughters good, Elizabeth is against the convention at that time.“I think it would be very hard upon younger sisters that they should not have their share of society and amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to marry early. The last-born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth as the first. And to be kept back on such a motive! I think it would not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind. [7]143”2.3 IntelligenceAt the first chapter of the book, Mr. Bennet appraises his five daughters saying, “They are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters”[7]3.From this sentence, we have a first impression that Elizabeth’s intelligence is much better than her sisters’. We also can see Elizabeth’s intelligence through her conversation. Her dialogue with Darcy, her father and Jane is full of humor, keen analysis and wise comprehension. We just appreciate one wonderful conversation between Elizabeth and Darcy. Clever as Darcy is, he cannot easily overcome Elizabeth in battle of wits [11]14. When Miss Bingley is playing a lively Scotch air, Darcy asks Elizabeth to dance a reel. Elizabeth attempts to revenge Darcy for his previous refusal to accept her as dancer partner because of her “tolerable”figure.“She smiled, but made no answer. He repeated the question, with some surprise at her silence.“Oh!”said she, “I heard you before; but I could not immediately determine what to say in reply. You wanted me, I know, to say ‘yes’, that you might have the pleasure of despising my taste; but I always delight in overthrowing those kind of schemes, and cheating a person of their premeditated contempt, I have therefore made up my mind to tell you that I do not want to dance a reel at all—and now despise me if you dare.”[7]43Elizabeth seldom speaks without an elegant manner. She “has more freedom of maneuver with language, more conceptual space to move around in, [12]87”and as a result, she can forecast things and is capable of independence and think out conclusions of her own. Compared with Jane whose manner is elegant and temper is mild, Elizabeth has advantages of owning much sense. Unlike Jane who thinks everyone is kind, Elizabeth can think more deeply than her. She advises Jane not too honest to see through the foolishness and dullness of those who pretend to be frank to her. She always points out those people’s inconsistency to Jane [5]32. She makes the exact judgment about their tales in breaking the love affairs between M r. Bingley and Jane.Elizabeth has “more quickness of observation and is capable of both complex impressions and complex ideas”[12]88. Her first impression about Darcy’s house, Pemberly, is accurate. She thinks that Pemberly is neither gaudy nor uselessly fine, with less of splendor and more real elegant. The decoration style indicates Darcy’s values which are in the terms of self-cultivation and moral quality rather than materials. After this visiting she also has a better understanding about Darcy’s personality and quality. Through talking with housekeeper, she learns that Darcy,as a brother, a landlord and a master, is always thesweetest-tempered and generous-hearted person, who shows consideration for the poor and takes care of his sister very carefully. From this event we know that Elizabeth’s sensibility and intelligence rarely fail her in her reading of human minds, observing life and drawing out her correct first impression.2.4 RebellionIt can be imagined that Elizabeth with a certain amount of mental independence would own a strong mind and would refuse to submit to others’pressure and to be their appendage. She is a rebel of her time, longing for individual liberty and equality between sexes [12]87. Thus we are not surprised to find her firm refusal of Darcy’s first lordly proposal and total declination of Lady Catherine’s despotic demand of extract a promise from Elizabeth that she will not marry Darcy. The conversation between Lady Catherine and Elizabeth fully exposes Elizabeth’s rebellious spirit.“Let us sit down. You are to understand, Miss Bennet, that I came here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose; nor will I be dissuaded from it. I have not been used tosubmit to any person’s whims. I have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment.”“That will make your ladyship’s situation at present more pitiable; but it will have no effect on me.”“I shall not go away till you have given me the assurance I require.”“And I certainly never shall give it. I am not to be intimidated into anything so wholly unreasonable…You have widely mistaken my character, if you think I can be worked on by such persuasions as these…but you have certainly no right to concern yourself in mine…”[7]305-307Bingely’s sisters pride themselves on having a good taste and are elegant in their manners and their appearance, but Elizabeth thinks they are a lack of inner integrity that are in fact nothing but “crows in the phoenix’s gaudy garments”[12]87. She makes good use of her cleverness and intellect to challenge the upper-class people who show contempt against her. She does not permit her ‘will’to be dictated to by another, and she will never admit the submissive role traditionally ascribed to women[13]50. Her excellent spiritual state makes her always in the position of a winner.Elizabeth’s attitude to marriage is independent and rebellious. Her view of marriage is much different from traditional woman in her time. As a traditional woman, Mrs. Bennet, her mother, blindly wants to find rich men as her daughters’husbands, while Elizabeth is not influenced by economic pressure. She is not rich, but never ready to exchange every better self-feeling with material profit. She will only accept the man’s proposal who she loves. What she wants is lifelong companion who has similar interest and taste to her. Her view of marriage is based on love, a kind of romantic love which seems very rebellious in that period of time.3. The causes of Elizabeth’s characterAs we all know that everything in the world has its own cause. The root of Elizabeth’s character also can be analyzed from the next two different perspectives. Social environmental influence was the external factor of Elizabeth’s character; while familysurrounding and view of marriage were the internal factors, which was the internal motive that Elizabeth boldly challenges the upper-class and pursues the ideal and happiness.3.1 The external factors3.1.1 Social environment factorEvery novelist must bear on mind the imprint of society in which he lives; since in the novel he gives the reader a picture of society he see it, and an implied criticism of it, the reader ought to be able to clearly see in his works the reflection of his ideology and society [14]49. During her lifetime, Austen lived through the French Revolution (1789), the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte; the American War of Independence (and the war with England of 1812); the incipient Industrial Revolution; the Feminist controversy of the turn of the eighteenth-century [11]49.All these events，especially the Industrial and French revolutions, brought about great changes in social structure and the ways people lived and thought.In addition, capitalistic utilitarianism and commercialism caused the declining of social morality. People dwell upon these figures with great relish, the income express rank, social aspirations andconsumer power and marriage becomes a transaction from which one want to get benefit [11]51. Personal relations were reduced to a question of pounds, shillings and pence; people’s behaviors were dominated by self-interest. It is manifestation that economic figures can be seen everywhere in Pride and Prejudice: Bingley inherits a hundred thousand pounds from his father, and has four or five thousand a year; Miss Bingley has a fortune of twenty thousand pounds; Darcy has ten thousand a year; Darcy’s sister Georgiana’s dowry is thirty thousand; Mr. Bennet has two thousand pounds a year; Mrs. Bennet’s father leaves her four thousand pounds. Therefore, compared with Darcy and Bingley, Elizabeth’s family is relatively poor and has lower social status. Elizabeth must have a sense of inferiority, so she has to show her good quality thereby hiding her family’s low status.Moreover, at that time, women had long been regarded as inferior to men physically and intellectually. Both law and theology had ordered their subjection [15]34. Women could not in their own name possess property, engage in business, or control the disposal of their children and even their own persons. In order to prove her idea that women are not inherently inferior to men in intelligence, Elizabeth makes herself intelligent andhas a sound judgment. She disagrees with deep-rooted social notions of the purpose of women’s marriage is predominantly for financial security and she claims that a woman’s marriage should be based on mutual love, mutual respect and mutual understanding.3.2 Internal factors3.2.1 Family factorElizabeth Bennet lives in a society of stationary characters in its conditions and outlook. Generations are born and die and are succeed by their descendents, living in the same places and doing the same things. There is so little change of ideas; democracy has not yet raised her horrid head; money is a potential problem; courtship has its own dramas [12]86. People around her are almost all foolish, passive and reposeful, though there are a few exceptions.Her father, Mr. Bennet is a country gentleman in whom irony is the most prominent quality and who by appreciation of character makes some amends for the selfish indifference, which is the ground of his character [12]86. With no doubt, Elizabeth inherits her father’s taste and intellect, as well as a strong criticaljudgment. But there is as much likeness between mother and daughter as may exist between a lively and sensible woman and a lively fool. “Mrs. Bennet is a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper.”[7]3 Her feelings, impulsiveness, judgments and speeches are generally wrong, while Elizabeth’s are generally right. To some extent, her character is greatly affected by her father not by her mother.Negative family background partly influences Elizabeth’s character. With ignorant mother, incompetent father as well as reckless and self-willed sisters, Elizabeth is often looked up down by others [16]211. With time going, she wants to be a clever girl and ask others to pay much more attention to her intellect and her unique talent, thereby alleviating surrounding people’s contempt. As a consequence, her wisdom and intellect are appraised by others.3.2.2 Marriage factorElizabeth’s character is influenced by marriage factor. Through comparing her mother’s and her friend Charlotte’s view of marriage, we can see Elizabeth’s unique attitude to marriage.Mrs. Bennet is at all costs with her blind desperation for marriage [5]34. At the beginning of the novel, when she declares of the new tenant of Netherfield, she says “A single man of large fortune, four or five thousand a year, what a fine thing for our girls”[7]2. This shows Mrs. Bennet expects her daughter marriage well as her only desire in the life and one of Elizabeth’s friend Charlotte views marriage as a “comfortable home”. “At the age of twenty seven, without having ever been handsome, felt all the good luck of it. [7]107”She accepts Collins solely from the pure and disinterested desire of an establishment. While Elizabeth takes a different view to marriage, so she feels ashamed that a friend of hers can fall so far below her own ideals of conduct. She thinks Charlotte as Collin’s wife is “a most humiliating picture”.Elizabeth’s attitude towards love and marriage has progressive social significance. She likes a free choice, not dictated by economic pressure, though there is indeed not the least hint in the book which suggests that she would like to go so far as to totally reject money for love’s sake [12]88. She is not rich, but never ready to sacrifice every better self-feeling to material profit. She rejects to give Mr. Collins her hand because she knows they share not the same ideas and taste. She stands for moral integrity in love affairs. In her eyes, the life long companyshould be the first precondition. She accepts Darcy’s propose because she loves him. She thinks that “he was the exact man whose disposition and talents would most suit her”and “it is a union that must have been to the advantage of both”[12]88. Therefore, Elizabeth’s idea of happiness in marriage has to do with individual compatibility and affection, what Charlotte presumably means by “romantic”. This point of view is really superior to the traditional view at that time.4. Influence of Austen’s feminism“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”[7]1 This is opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice. From the first sentence, we can know women’s dreadful situation that is to say women have no economic status. Ellen Moers pointed out that Austen wrote at a time when both men and women found themselves in “a Feminist Controversy”[17]245. Jane Austen shows the strong protest against secular prejudice towards the notion of family status and the system of marriage imposed onthe English middle and lower class women between the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th century [5]33. So from this point, we can see that Austen’s novels all end with an improved feudal society, whose leader is an open-minded gentleman who permits some changes and understands women’s worth and treat them as individuals. At last, the gentleman marries the heroine and secures her of a better life and promising future, and the ideal union of individual desire and social limitations are realized in the heroines’marriages.Austen expresses her view of women in Pride and Prejudice, which is appallingly similar to her radical contemporaries. Through describing Elizabeth’s fine aspiration about asking for the independence of personality and struggling for the equality of human rights, we can see the idea of Jane Austen about woman rights. Elizabeth is anything but merely subservient to the male and represents in some sense the feminist ideal of woman [5]33. Moreover, the figure of Elizabeth reflects not only Austen’s faith in female mind but her belief that intellectual abilities are as desirable in the woman as in the man. Elizabeth herself is intelligent and has a sound judgment, and she does not distinguish people around her according to their gender but according to their intelligence. Jane Bennet and Miss Bingleyboth have qualities which were regarded as marks of feminine excellence in an age which advised women to conceal any mental accomplishments [11]43. Yet neither is judged the equal of Elizabeth Bennet because they lack her “quickness of observation”and “judgment”. This standard of excellence is made by Darcy, who comments that while a woman should cultivate accomplishments such as “music, singing, drawing, dancing, all the modern languages…and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading”[7]32. So Elizabeth is the spokesman of Jane Austen.5. ConclusionJane Austen is a milestone as well as a very important writer in the history of British literature. In her era, British novels seemed to come to a stop, and family reading activity became more and more boring [18]5. She invented her own special mode of fiction, the domestic comedy of middle-class manners, and a dramatic, realistic account of the quiet backwaters of everyday life for thecountry families of Regency England from the late 1790s until 1815 [2]1. All these help her to have the equal name as Sir Walter Scott.Elizabeth, the heroine of Pride and Prejudice, touches the readers all the time everywhere in the world. Elizabeth, who fought for the happy marriage, is an excellent actress, playing an active role on the stage of life. The above study mainly discuses Elizabeth’s four characters, including reason, self-esteem, intelligence and resistance. Generally speaking, Elizabeth is lively, bright, sparkling as well as full of emotion and energy, which make her eyes glow, her words flash, bring the blood to her cheeks so often. [12]1 Then, this paper studies deep causes of Elizabeth’s which are affected by internal factors and external factors as well as the influence of Austen’s feminism.The purpose of this paper is to add luster to getting a better understanding of Elizabeth, then through analyzing her personality and causes, we can understand Austen’s complexity and her opinion of women’s attitude towards self-pursuit, love and marriage.。
傲慢与偏见的英文赏析
A book report about Pride and PrejudiceThe <<Pride and Prejudice>> is a book telling that Bannate treat married the daughter of five different treatments . Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, This is a really love story , but above love . The story let me know a truth that the true love is based on two people who is respect each other . This story also tells another truth about the society at that years . which is a unfair society ,which is a Noble in power’s society .Mrs Bannate has five daughters .The older is called Jane , who is loved by Mr Bingly . The second daughter named Elizabeth and she was loved by Mr Darcy who is a very rich and pride man . Elizabeth and Darcy is the novel’s hero and heroine. The third daughter is Mary and she isn’t as beautiful as her elder sisters , but she is knowledgeable and a little self-important . The two young sister have a very strong vanity . So the five different characters let the story go on .In fact, I didn't understand the story at the first time I read it. I didn't know why it called Pride andPrejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn't find where' s the prejudice. I thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But after watching the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I'm a prejudiced person so I can't find where's wrong.I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something , my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time. I like it so just like it, if not so just not. I'm a person thinking by heart not by brain. What is worse, I actually didn't think it's wrong. I thought everyone is all like that.Everyone has his special way to cognize the world. So it's individuality, not prejudice. But I think something is wrong. Though everyone can judge in the way he likes, he can't ignore other ones. You can like what you like and hate what you hate, but you should be objective when you meet external world. I think it means that you should consider things roundly, not just partial. Am I right?The main subject in the novel is stated in the first sentence of the novel: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." In this statement, Jane has cleverly done three things: she has declared that the main subject of the novel will be courtship and marriage, she has established the humorous tone of the novel by taking a simple subject to elaborate and to speak intelligently of, and she has prepared the reader for a chase in the novel of either a husband in search of a wife, or a women in pursuit of a husband. The first line also defines Jane's book as a piece of literature that connects itself to the 18th century period. Pride and Prejudice is 18th century because of the emphasis on man in his social environment rather than in his individual conditions. The use of satire and wit, a common form of 18th century literature, also contributes to label the book as 18th century. However, because Jane Austen had allowed personal feelings of the characters to be expressed in her work, she can also be classified as Romantic. In the figure of Elizabeth, Jane Austen shows passion attempting to find a validmode of existence in society. Passion and reasons also comes together in the novel to show that they are complementary of marriage.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 pe dant.) 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 watch the movie, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this story is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted i n somepeople’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?The answer surely is wrong .I think there will have true love in the world , Like Elizabeth and Darcy . Love is the true feeling in the two person .Don’t judge love by money , by status .The love don’t have honor and downtrodden ,the love is fair . So keep the right feelings about love ,you will find your true love ,like Elizabeth and Darcy .。
