Pride and Prejudice has been valued as most successful and popular masterpiece among all the novels written by Jane Austen.The novel describing several different marriages among young women of the middle class, which reveals that love is the foundation for a happy marriage, and also should be based on a large amount of money.Pride and Prejudice also reflected Jane Austen’s marriage view: It is wrong to marry for the property, money and position.She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage, and regards men and women's emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage.The story of Pride and Prejudice took place in the time of the Regency in Britain.At that time, Britain was at the period of transition from the earlier stage of Capitalism to Capitalist Industrialization.In the countryside, the aristocratic family still held great power and right that country squires were likely to fawn upon them.However, as the development of Capitalism and the expand of the rank of rich people, the distinction between social strata was becoming smaller and smaller, while money was getting more and more important in people’s mind about social value.The author, Jane Austen, was a British novelist who was born in a small country town.Austen didn't go to regular schools, but she read many literary works at her parents' guidance.She started writing about the age of 20, and published six novels.Jane was unmarried all her life.She described a truthful picture of her world, especially the marriage and love between gentleman and ladies by her meticulous feminine observation.It mainly describes the development of the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, an intelligent young woman and the daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich and haughty aristocratic landowner.The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England.The writer Jane Austen disclosed mid-class young ladies’ different ideas of1

marriage and love through describing the different ways in which the Bennet girls doing with their marriage problems, and this undoubtedly shows the writer’s idea about love and marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for property, wealth and status while neither would it be without caring about those elements.Jane Austen just attached great significance to marriage through her novel by telling people that marriage should be regarded carefully cause it is not a game you could just enjoy without prudent consideration.She also wanted to deliver information that marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.Besides, marriage does not mean the act of uncontrolled passion but a complex engagement between the marrying couple and society.Elizabeth was a clever and smart girl, although she was not the most beautiful one.She was also an independent girl and always had an individual opinion, because Elizabeth was an educated girl, although she learned by herself.So education is very important to women.I think Elizabeth has personality ethic which caused her independent idea about love and marriage and in consequence she earned a happy life.Darcy was handsome man and he seemed very noble.He was very wealthy, but he was very proud and rude in other people’s eyes.Because of the education he had in his childhood, he first ignored Elizabeth’s merits because of the social position she was in and the relatives she had.But later, he realized Elizabeth’s smart and beauty and proposed to her.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is a perfect one.The female subject Elizabeth is a mid-class girl, and Darcy proposed to her regardless of the gap between them, but Elizabeth refused because of his pride had formed Eli’s prejudice.Cause Darcy’s pride was a suggest of status gap between he and Eli, he wouldn’t have the same thought with Eli and consequently the ideal marriage.But later Darcy’s doings especially his change of the prideful manner eliminated Eli’s misunderstandings and prejudice about him, and Elizabeth accepted his proposal.At the beginning of Pride and Prejudice, a sentence reads “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” It not only reflects Austen’s opinion towards marriage that money is very important, but also reflects the reality of the British society at that time: money

was at the first place, men played an important role in the society, but women had no position in the society.In Austen’s opinion, a marriage that both had money and love is a perfect one.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage just coincided with Austen’s basic requirements.It was Elizabeth’s optional marriage based on her personal value that made her get the final happiness and curbed Darcy’s arrogant as well.They thus established an equal relation based on mutual understanding and respect.So their marriage was the most harmonious one in the novel.Jane was the oldest in Bennet’s family.She was the most beautiful one among her sisters.But she was shy and lack of self confidence.So she was afraid to speak out that she loved.Bingley was also very wealthy, but he was more approachable than Darcy.Similar to Jane, he was lack of courage and had no definite views of his own on his marriage.They were met on a ball.Jane was attracted by Bingley’s handsome appearance, and Bingley also indulged in Jane’s beauty.So they fell in love with each other at the first sight.Although Jane loved Bingley very much, as a lady, she never showed her love.And she was within an inch of losing such a good man.Bingley was also not a strong-minded person.Influenced by his friend Darcy and family, he left Jane.But fortunately, this couple got married at last.In my opinion, their marriage was just based on the attraction between each other.Actually, they were lack of confidence and understanding with each other.Although this marriage appeared a happiness one, some crisis was hidden.The style of her works is humorous and rich in comic conflicts, so many readers love them.From the late eighteenth to the nineteenth century, vulgar and boring sentimental novels and gothic novels were full in British literary.But Jane’s novel iconoclastic showed mid-class of daily life and pastoral scenery in British countryside at that time which had not been capitalist industrial revolution impacted,.Although the breadth and depth of the reflection was limited, it played good effect to change the vulgar atmosphere in novels.Pride and prejudice are our common weakness and shortcomings.Every person actually is easy to be driven by his own subjective impression.So it can comment easily to other people under incorrectness, then it will cause misunderstandings between each other.A person’s first impression can affect many things.Not he must

change, but you should more deeply know about him, then you will have more objective opinion, just like the heroine's opinion of Darcy in the novel changed because of knowing.Or if the people in the world no longer have pride and prejudice these two bad behavior customs, this world will more harmonious and friendly.

《傲慢與偏見》讀書報(bào)告

作者簡(jiǎn)介：

簡(jiǎn)·奧斯汀，是英國著名女性小說家，她的作品主要關(guān)注鄉(xiāng)紳家庭女性的婚姻和生活，以女性特有的細(xì)致入微的觀察力和活潑風(fēng)趣的文字真實(shí)地描繪了她周圍世界的小天地。

奧斯丁21歲時(shí)寫成她的第一部小說，題名《最初的印象》，她與出版商聯(lián)系出版，沒有結(jié)果。就在這一年，她又開始寫《埃莉諾與瑪麗安》，以后她又寫《諾桑覺寺》，于1799年寫完。十幾年后，《最初的印象》經(jīng)過改寫，換名為《傲慢與偏見》，《埃莉諾與瑪麗安》經(jīng)過改寫，換名為《理智與情感》，分別得到出版。至于《諾桑覺寺》，作者生前沒有出書。以上這三部是奧斯丁前期作品，寫于她的故鄉(xiāng)史蒂文頓。

奧斯丁雖然沒有進(jìn)過正規(guī)學(xué)校，但是家庭的優(yōu)良條件和讀書環(huán)境，給了她自學(xué)的條件，培養(yǎng)了她寫作的興趣。她在十三四歲就開始寫東西，顯示了她在語言表達(dá)方面的才能。1816年初她得了重病，身體日益衰弱，1817年5月被送到溫徹斯特接受治療，可是醫(yī)治無效，不幸于同年7月18日死在她姐姐的懷抱里。她終生未婚，安葬在溫徹斯特大教堂。

主要作品：

1： 《理性與感性》（Sense and Sensibility，1811）2：《傲慢與偏見》（Pride and Prejudice，1813）3：《曼斯菲爾德莊園》（Mansfield Park，1814）4：《艾瑪》（Emma，1815）

5：《諾桑覺寺》（Northanger Abbey，1818，死后出版）6：《勸導(dǎo)》（Persuasion，1818，死后出版）

故事簡(jiǎn)介：

《傲慢與偏見》是簡(jiǎn)·奧斯汀的代表作。故事發(fā)生在一個(gè)閉塞的鄉(xiāng)村小鎮(zhèn)：小鄉(xiāng)紳班納特先生有5個(gè)女兒，而班納特太太生活中的頭等大事就是為他的5個(gè)女兒找到合適的丈夫。為此，她整天東跑西竄，忙個(gè)不停，但是她們住的地方太偏僻，一時(shí)找不到合適的人選。就在這個(gè)時(shí)候，兩個(gè)單身、富有而且英俊的紳士來到這里度假。這兩個(gè)人的到來，不亞于在平靜的水面上投下了一塊巨石。到底班納特太太能不能如愿以償、順順利利地把自己的五個(gè)女兒嫁出去呢？作者用詼諧幽默的語言，向我們講述了一樁曲折的姻緣。結(jié)局大大出乎班納特太太、鄰居和親戚們的意料，帶有一股輕喜劇的味道。

班納特家有五個(gè)女兒均未出嫁；而班納特太太又是一個(gè)神經(jīng)質(zhì)虛榮心十足的女人，將每個(gè)女兒嫁出去是她這一生唯一的大事，可她卻從不費(fèi)心管教女兒的舉止；而班納特先生是個(gè)顧家的老紳士，卻放任妻子和女兒的不得體行為，寧愿躲進(jìn)圖書室尋求平靜。

簡(jiǎn)·班納特是班納特家的大女兒，容貌美麗、性情溫柔、沉靜；伊莉沙白·班納特是班納特家的二女兒，個(gè)性活潑大方、聰慧與美貌并俱；三女兒瑪麗容貌不若其它姊妹出色，因此便在品德及知識(shí)上用功，但也造成她的自大態(tài)度；排行第四的凱蒂個(gè)性浮華，與妹妹麗迪雅最熱忠跳舞，舉止常失禮而不自知；么女兒愛慕虛榮、注重享樂、跳舞和與軍官斗鬧取樂是她生活的唯一目的。

直到有一天，班納特家附近的搬來了一個(gè)單身男子彬格萊·查爾斯，他是一個(gè)個(gè)性溫和、做人真誠不拘小節(jié)的富家青年，偶然在一個(gè)宴會(huì)彬格萊卻戀上了班納特家的大女兒簡(jiǎn)，并與簡(jiǎn)·班納特相互愛慕；而彬格萊的好朋友達(dá)西·費(fèi)茨威廉個(gè)性拘謹(jǐn)嚴(yán)肅，不善言詞常給人自大傲慢的印象，在不知不覺中喜歡上班納特家的二女兒伊莉沙白，但是因?yàn)榘嗉{特一家本身并不是得體的家族令這兩段戀情受到障礙，伊莉沙白一開始就對(duì)傲慢的達(dá)西存有偏見，這部書主要就是描述他們這段關(guān)系的轉(zhuǎn)變過程。

讀后感：

人們就是以財(cái)富來衡量一個(gè)人的。在達(dá)西與伊莉沙白的年代是趨于保守的，也會(huì)有貴族與平民的上的障礙。傲慢和偏見，就屬于人類弱點(diǎn)中最常見的兩種。而人性又太容易被扭曲、被異化，一不小心，或一旦陷入盲目，失去公正和理智，被感情所操縱，就會(huì)出毛病，伊莉沙白和達(dá)西也只是一個(gè)代表而已。而出身、財(cái)產(chǎn)、地位、教養(yǎng)、一旦沾上上流的邊，就容易染上傲慢的毛病，對(duì)貧窮、低下、粗俗的人瞧不上眼；而地位低、財(cái)產(chǎn)少的人，出于人類的一種自尊心，則以偏見對(duì)抗驕傲的優(yōu)越者，這自然是另一種被扭曲的傲慢。

這部書以社會(huì)女性主義觀點(diǎn)切入，檢視奧斯汀的社會(huì)背景，探索社會(huì)環(huán)境如何影響女性在面臨婚姻時(shí)的抉擇，反映了女性內(nèi)心的焦慮與掙扎。就社會(huì)女性主義者而言，物質(zhì)環(huán)境為塑造女性婚姻意識(shí)的決定因素。事實(shí)上，婚姻，就小說人物而言，是一個(gè)階級(jí)交換與經(jīng)濟(jì)交流的市場(chǎng)。為了達(dá)成結(jié)婚的目的，女性人物擅于把自己轉(zhuǎn)化成商品，展示其外貌與才藝，吸引男性目光。這一時(shí)期女性受到社會(huì)價(jià)值的鼓勵(lì)，利用其女性特質(zhì)來贏得婚姻伴侶。然而，奧斯汀的女性人物在面臨婚姻伴侶的抉擇時(shí)往往呈現(xiàn)對(duì)婚姻無意識(shí)的不安。愛情是一條主線，然而婚姻與愛情還是有差別的，其中一點(diǎn)誠實(shí)，男女主人公就太缺少了。正因?yàn)槿绱瞬攀沟门鹘遣话病?/p>

人，總是喜歡先入為主，達(dá)西先生傲慢、無禮的樣子早已進(jìn)入伊麗莎白的頭腦，再加上騙子韋翰利用了自己巧妙的奉承能力以及一付“討人喜歡”的儀表，迷住了伊麗莎白，不停地為自己洗刷冤情，中傷達(dá)西。不可否認(rèn)，韋翰長著一張英俊的臉，表面上也裝得非?！凹澥俊?，使得伊麗莎白完全相信了韋翰的花言巧語，即使她是家中最居理智的女兒，畢竟年輕，對(duì)于一個(gè)人是好是壞，還只是看淺表的。最主要的可能是伊麗莎白太過于在乎她在別人眼中的形象，她非常不希望在別人眼里看來她是一個(gè)無知而虛榮，又沒有教養(yǎng)的女人，可她也只是一個(gè)處在那種時(shí)代的而不甘于做一個(gè)配件的女人而已，她希望的伴侶能在心靈上與之共鳴，對(duì)于這個(gè)人的品格的要求超過了財(cái)富的要求，這一點(diǎn)是值得贊賞的，畢竟是在有一個(gè)愛錢的母親的教育下長大的。不過對(duì)于這樣一個(gè)母親，她還是感到了自卑，才會(huì)在面對(duì)韋翰的謊言時(shí)，盲目的相信那個(gè)“高高在上”的達(dá)西是個(gè)卑鄙的人，從而使自己在他面前時(shí)的自卑心得到解脫。不過幸運(yùn)的是伊麗莎白沒有被這些真正的蒙住雙眼。

人的缺陷太多，首先是心靈上的陷阱。要想在一生中成就一番事業(yè)，無論是知識(shí)、教養(yǎng)、還是愛情、事業(yè)，都需要同自己心靈的種種淺浮的陷阱或陰影做斗爭(zhēng)，經(jīng)過各種誤解和長時(shí)間的反復(fù)的認(rèn)識(shí)過程，慢慢由心靈克服各自弱點(diǎn)和毛病，而走向開放、灑脫、自由的必然結(jié)果。然而沒有愛情不要勉強(qiáng)與他人結(jié)婚，只要人品正直，追求美德，不放松向喜之心，不茍且、貪圖一時(shí)之利欲，追求兩心之和諧、相應(yīng)，運(yùn)用彼此的智慧，克服心靈上的缺點(diǎn)，終得如愿以償。

人和人之間的相處總會(huì)有一些小小的摩擦，而這些摩擦，往往就是自己內(nèi)心中所潛藏的弱點(diǎn)或毛病，要和別人能夠更愉快的生活，就必須先了解到自己的缺點(diǎn)，并磨去他，其次是了解別人的內(nèi)心，最后再互相深入彼此，如此一來，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)到社會(huì)上每一件人、事、物都是如此美好而光明，更進(jìn)一步激發(fā)出你內(nèi)心深處的感動(dòng)，發(fā)揮出自己的專長去替這個(gè)社會(huì)、這個(gè)國家、這個(gè)世界服務(wù)，畢竟我門是萬物之長，如果人們不再用心去關(guān)懷身邊的人，不再去付出自己的一臂之力，那么還有誰要去完成這個(gè)任務(wù)呢？所以從現(xiàn)在開始，我們就應(yīng)該將自己原先所存有的毛病給除去，換上一個(gè)全新的自我，為嶄新的未來打拚吧

《傲慢與偏見》讀書報(bào)告

雖不是一部題材宏大的作品，卻深深地震撼了我。

——題記又一次翻開已經(jīng)稍稍發(fā)黃的書，熟悉而親切的文字，讓我立刻想起伊麗莎白美麗的眼睛，達(dá)西似乎冷竣卻隱藏著溫柔的面容??這并不厚的一本高中就已讀過的書，我卻不惜千里之遠(yuǎn)從家里帶到學(xué)校，讓它時(shí)刻伴我身邊。也許它并不是我所讀過的最好的小說，卻是讓我最難忘的一本。

真的，這不是一部宏大的作品。薄薄300來頁，不到30萬字，沒有波瀾壯闊，也談不上深?yuàn)W，和長達(dá)4000余頁、超過300萬字的意識(shí)流小說《追憶似水年華》這類書一比就相形見絀，就像作者奧斯汀本人無法和那些大文豪相提并論一樣?；蛟S有的人認(rèn)為這本書太平常而根本就不屑于去評(píng)價(jià)它，然而這卻是一部極具生命力的小說，歷經(jīng)200余年，仍然吸引著無數(shù)讀者。在今天著名的騰訊BBS論壇外國文學(xué)版面上，只要出現(xiàn)與《傲慢與偏見》或者奧斯汀有關(guān)話題的帖子，點(diǎn)擊率和回復(fù)率一定會(huì)直線上升，盡管這些話題已不知被討論過多少次了。

和奧斯汀的其他幾部小說一樣，《傲慢與偏見》的取材事實(shí)上是相當(dāng)狹窄的。記得夏洛蒂·勃朗特曾說過：“我可不愿意在她們的那些高雅而狹窄的房子里跟她（奧斯?。┑哪切┘澥渴缗畟兇粼谝黄??！痹谖铱磥?，奧斯汀的小說有點(diǎn)

像小女子文學(xué)，缺少一種大氣的感覺，但我卻喜歡這種“小女子文學(xué)”。你可以說她目光狹窄，也可以說她缺乏深度，你卻無法抵擋她的魅力。事實(shí)上，取材范圍的狹窄，并沒有限制作者的視野，正如《傲慢與偏見》中達(dá)西和伊麗莎白的一段對(duì)話。達(dá)西說：“在鄉(xiāng)下，你四周的環(huán)境非常閉塞，很少變化。”而伊麗莎白卻回答道：“可是人本身變化那么多，你永遠(yuǎn)可以在他們身上看出新的東西?！边@也許正代表了作者自己的看法吧。奧斯汀自己說“鄉(xiāng)間村莊里的三、四戶人家”是她“得心應(yīng)手的好材料”，還把自己的藝術(shù)比作在“兩寸象牙”上“細(xì)細(xì)地描畫”。在我看來這正是作者的長處，也是其小說獨(dú)到的地方。精工細(xì)琢，一絲不茍，娓娓道來，細(xì)水長流，這就是我所喜歡的“小女子文學(xué)”的特點(diǎn)。無怪乎有人建議奧斯汀換一種寫作方式的時(shí)候，奧斯汀拒絕道：“我必須保持自己的風(fēng)格，按自己的方式寫下去?！焙鋈宦?lián)想到臺(tái)灣作家三毛的文章，其最受歡迎的幾本散文集如《撒哈拉的故事》《稻草人手記》等，無非也是寫一些生活瑣事，取材也不見得有多廣泛多深刻，卻如此受青睞，大概也源于此吧。反映生活的作品即是美的作品，《傲慢與偏見》帶給我們的是一種英國鄉(xiāng)村濃郁的生活氣息，讓人倍感親切自然。對(duì)大多數(shù)人來說，只有平平淡淡從從容容才是真。好的文學(xué)作品總是反映永恒的人性，普通人的心態(tài)，在讀者中產(chǎn)生共鳴。評(píng)論家們始終把奧斯汀排在勃朗特之前，其地位僅

次于莎士比亞，就在于她的平淡、安寧。有道是于平凡之中見偉大，于細(xì)微之處見深情，取材雖小，反映的問題卻不一定小。

愛情是小說永恒的主題，《傲慢與偏見》以愛情和婚姻為主要內(nèi)容，自然是吸引讀者的。但描寫愛情的小說不計(jì)其數(shù)，要像《傲慢與偏見》這樣在世界文學(xué)中占有一席之地，也并不是一件容易的事?！栋谅c偏見》之所以稱得上世界文學(xué)名著而不流俗于一般愛情小說，自有它的魅力所在。那么到底是什么使它脫穎而出呢？一部好的小說，內(nèi)容、情節(jié)是非常重要的?！栋谅c偏見》的內(nèi)容并不復(fù)雜，情節(jié)卻引人入勝。讀過這本書的讀者應(yīng)該對(duì)小說開篇的一句話記憶猶新：“It is a true universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.(凡是有財(cái)產(chǎn)的單身漢，必定需要娶位太太，這已經(jīng)成了一條舉世公認(rèn)的真理。)” 在英文中in want of 是指客觀需要，而不是主觀想要；這簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的一句話卻深深反映出資產(chǎn)階級(jí)婚姻的實(shí)質(zhì)無非是金錢交易與利益的結(jié)合，可見作者的目光之透徹犀利，也正印證了前面所說的細(xì)微之處卻能反映大問題。小說開篇就這樣牢牢抓住了讀者，接著通過班納特夫婦風(fēng)趣的對(duì)話，把讀者帶進(jìn)一個(gè)女兒多得發(fā)愁的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)家庭中。這個(gè)家庭家道已經(jīng)中落，卻還有五個(gè)待嫁的女兒，而且不幸班納特先生又沒有兒子，其財(cái)產(chǎn)將由表親柯林斯繼承。在資

產(chǎn)階級(jí)社會(huì)，如果女孩沒有豐厚的嫁妝，就算再有才貌，也難找到體面的丈夫，就像書中達(dá)西所說：“她們倘使想嫁給有地位的男人，機(jī)會(huì)可就大大減少了?！彼蕴幵诨橐鲆獧?quán)衡雙方階級(jí)地位和金錢利害的情況下，這五位姑娘的出嫁前景確實(shí)不太美妙。小說采用古典的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義筆法，描寫了四對(duì)青年男女的結(jié)合，通過班納特五個(gè)女兒對(duì)待終身大事的不同處理，表現(xiàn)出鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)家庭出身的少女對(duì)婚姻愛情問題的不同態(tài)度，也借此表達(dá)了作者本人的婚姻觀，即為財(cái)產(chǎn)打算的婚姻是沒有幸福的，結(jié)婚完全不考慮財(cái)產(chǎn)也是行不通的，講究門第的包辦婚姻不堪忍受，把婚姻當(dāng)兒戲毫不足取，理想的婚姻要以感情為基礎(chǔ)。書中的女主人公伊麗莎白與達(dá)西不顧門第和財(cái)富的差距，真心相愛，美滿結(jié)合，是作者所頌揚(yáng)的幸?；橐觥囊聋惿椎纳砩?，我們可以看到女性對(duì)人格獨(dú)立和平等權(quán)利的追求。作者雖然沒有反映出她那個(gè)時(shí)代的階級(jí)矛盾和階級(jí)斗爭(zhēng)，然而她的強(qiáng)烈的階級(jí)意識(shí)卻表現(xiàn)了出來，對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)、財(cái)產(chǎn)決定婚姻關(guān)系乃至生活命運(yùn)的揭露也可謂入木三分。西方有位馬克思主義批評(píng)家大衛(wèi)·戴克斯曾半開玩笑的說，在“揭露人類行為的經(jīng)濟(jì)原因”方面，奧斯汀“從某種意義上可以說在馬克思以前就是馬克思主義者了。”

談到《傲慢與偏見》，就不能不談到它詼諧風(fēng)趣的語言。奧斯汀的語言是經(jīng)過錘煉的，她在對(duì)話藝術(shù)上講究幽默、諷

刺，這種藝術(shù)創(chuàng)新使她的作品具有自己的特色，而這種富有特色的語言在《傲慢與偏見》中發(fā)揮得尤為淋漓盡致。比如在寫班納特太太時(shí)，作者就這樣寫到：“只要碰到不稱心的事，她就自以為神經(jīng)衰弱?！庇衷诎嗉{特太太與其丈夫的對(duì)話中寫到：“我的好老爺，你怎么舍得這樣糟蹋自己的親生女兒？你是在故意叫我氣惱，好讓你自己得意吧。你半點(diǎn)也不體諒我的神經(jīng)衰弱。”“你真錯(cuò)怪了我，我的好太太。我非常尊重你的神經(jīng)。它們是我的老朋友。至少在最近二十年以來，我一直聽到你鄭重其事地提到它們?！倍嗝椿铎`活現(xiàn)的語言，絕妙的嘲諷與詼諧，立刻使兩個(gè)不同的人物形象在讀者腦海中變得立體而清晰。再如另一個(gè)片段的描寫：咖苔琳夫人的馬車路過門口，柯林斯牧師全家手忙腳亂出去迎接，伊麗莎白卻說：“就是這么回事嗎？我還以為是豬玀闖進(jìn)了花園呢?！敝甭实耐诳?，戳穿了咖苔琳夫人自己吹起來的唬人架勢(shì)，也使伊麗莎白這個(gè)蔑視權(quán)貴的形象在人們腦海中留下了更深的印象，越發(fā)覺得她可愛。這樣的例子在書中還有很多。一個(gè)曾充滿偏見的伊麗莎白、一個(gè)曾渾身傲慢的達(dá)西、一對(duì)有趣的班納特夫婦、一個(gè)可笑的柯林斯、眾多出場(chǎng)人物、再加上喜劇效果和特殊寫作技巧，這就是《傲慢與偏見》，卻不是它的全部。奧斯汀的幽默是需要反復(fù)咀嚼的，它并不是一看就能逗得你哈哈大笑的書，你最多只能會(huì)心的微笑。

《傲慢與偏見》是我珍愛的一部小說，它不偉大但精工，不廣闊但深刻。書中彌漫著安詳、靜謐、和諧的氣氛，以女性特有的細(xì)致入微的觀察力，真實(shí)地描繪了她周圍世界的小天地，尤其是紳士淑女間的婚姻和愛情**。格調(diào)輕松詼諧，富有喜劇性沖突，小說文風(fēng)細(xì)膩生動(dòng)，英國鄉(xiāng)間的風(fēng)俗人情躍然紙上，處處以小見大、匠心獨(dú)具、社會(huì)風(fēng)情畫式的故事吸引著廣大的讀者，給我們以獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)享受。

它是一部雅俗共賞的作品，因?yàn)閷?duì)它的熟悉才更加感到親切。它像鄉(xiāng)間小路上的一縷清風(fēng)，讓我避開世間的喧嘩，或者人間的悲傷。女孩子總是渴望浪漫，喜歡幻想，在作者筆下，愛情像傳統(tǒng)的英國紳士，有些拘謹(jǐn)，但高尚可愛。達(dá)西“傲慢”，但他有一顆善良的心，追求真愛的勇氣。伊麗莎白敢愛敢恨，有著一流的口才，出眾的美貌，非凡的氣質(zhì)和勇氣。我想這世界上肯定會(huì)有完美的愛情。只要我們用真誠的心去和人們溝通，交流，多從不同的角度去考慮事情的真正本質(zhì)，最終，一定會(huì)找到真正的幸福與快樂！

2000年，BBC做過一個(gè)“千年作家評(píng)選”活動(dòng)，結(jié)果奧斯丁緊隨莎士比亞之后，排名第二，而且，她是前十位里唯一的女性作家。這位女性堪稱英國之驕傲。她創(chuàng)造出了一大批的人物，開啟了19世紀(jì)30年代的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義小說高潮。

【二】創(chuàng)作背景

簡(jiǎn)·奧斯丁1796年到至1797年間寫成此著，寫作地點(diǎn)都是在英國的漢普郡的史蒂文頓（Steventon Rectory）。1811年，奧斯丁校正，原書名叫《第一印象》（First Impressions），不過后來更改名為《傲慢與偏見》。書中的男女主人公都有傲慢與偏見的表現(xiàn)，并不能說傲慢代表達(dá)西，而偏見代表伊麗莎白。1813年，由白丘（Whitehall）的軍方圖書館（Military Library）出版社的艾格頓先生（Mr.Egerton）出版。此出版社在1811年出版了簡(jiǎn)·奧斯丁的著名小說《理智與情感》，口碑不錯(cuò)，遂決定出版《傲慢與偏見》。

【三】內(nèi)容介紹

《傲慢與偏見》是英國作家簡(jiǎn)·奧斯丁的代表作之一。故事發(fā)生在18世紀(jì)英國的一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)上。作者在本書中描述了四段不同的婚姻，分別是簡(jiǎn)和賓里的婚姻、伊麗莎白和達(dá)西的婚姻、莉迪亞和威克姆的婚姻、盧卡斯和柯林斯的婚姻。這四門婚姻中，他們結(jié)婚的目的和結(jié)果都不相同，作者也借著這不同的四門婚姻來表現(xiàn)她自己的觀點(diǎn)：為了財(cái)產(chǎn)、金錢和地位而結(jié)婚是錯(cuò)誤的；而結(jié)婚不考慮上述因素也是愚蠢的。因此，她既反對(duì)為金錢而結(jié)婚，也反對(duì)把婚姻當(dāng)兒戲。她強(qiáng)調(diào)理想婚姻的重要性，并把男女雙方感情作為締結(jié)理想婚姻的基石。

1．簡(jiǎn)與賓利

簡(jiǎn)(Jane)是班內(nèi)特夫婦的大女兒，是五個(gè)姐妹中最漂亮的一個(gè)，性格隨和，舉止有禮。雖賓利先生（Bingley）與簡(jiǎn)互生愛意，但由于簡(jiǎn)生性沉穩(wěn)嫻雅，害羞內(nèi)向，她并沒有將這種感情流露出來，使得達(dá)西先生（賓利的好朋友)誤以為簡(jiǎn)對(duì)賓利毫無感情，達(dá)西雖然欣賞伊麗莎白，但卻無法忍受她的母親以及妹妹們粗俗、無禮的舉止，擔(dān)心簡(jiǎn)并非是鐘情于賓利，便勸說賓利放棄娶簡(jiǎn)，并且賓利先生的姐妹希望賓利可以迎娶達(dá)西的妹妹，從而鋪平自己與達(dá)西的婚姻之路。在妹妹和好友達(dá)西的勸說下，賓利不辭而別，去了倫敦，但簡(jiǎn)對(duì)他還是一片深情。不過，好在經(jīng)過一番波折之后，這對(duì)有情人終成眷屬。這是小說中的第一樁美滿的婚姻。

簡(jiǎn)對(duì)世界懷著美好的期望，從不輕易論人是非，當(dāng)她聽說別人的丑態(tài)時(shí)，她的第一反應(yīng)是可惜，而不是痛恨。賓利先生對(duì)所有人彬彬有禮，開朗健談，在舞會(huì)上，他積極的跳舞和交談，內(nèi)心的思想從不被門第觀念所羈絆，對(duì)簡(jiǎn)一往情深，二人寬容隨和的性格使得他們的生活和諧美滿。

2.伊麗莎白與達(dá)西

達(dá)西先生(Darcy)是賓利先生的好朋友，他出身名族，家產(chǎn)巨大，風(fēng)度翩翩，一表人才，他雖不如賓利那么隨和，但比賓利先生更加敏銳。舉止粗俗的人，他是不屑于交談的。不了解他的人常誤以為他目中無人，很是傲慢。伊麗莎白(Elizabeth)是班內(nèi)特夫婦的二女兒，她雖不如簡(jiǎn)美麗，卻機(jī)敏聰慧，談吐不俗，討人喜愛。二人初次見面就很不愉快。隨著故事的發(fā)展，達(dá)西逐漸愛上了伊麗莎白。但他覺得伊麗莎白的母親與妹妹舉止粗俗不堪，出身卑賤，地位低下。他不肯屈尊俯就，于是將這段感情藏而不露。伊麗莎白認(rèn)為達(dá)西傲慢無禮，再加上威克姆(Wickham)的中傷，對(duì)達(dá)西偏見日深，深惡痛絕。達(dá)西無法抑制對(duì)伊麗莎白的感情，向她求婚，遭到伊麗莎白的斷然拒絕和怒斥。兩人在相互的交往中加深了解，在得知達(dá)西的真實(shí)品性之后，伊麗莎白的偏見也隨之冰釋，并隨之生出愛慕之情。誤會(huì)得到消除，兩人喜結(jié)良緣。

這是本書中一段迂回曲折，波瀾起伏的愛情故事，也是貫穿本書的主線。他們的婚姻建立在相互了解，相互愛慕的基礎(chǔ)上。是當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)里典型的理想婚姻。伊麗莎白聰慧過人，不畏世俗，不屈從于達(dá)西的姨母凱瑟琳(Catherine)夫人，敢于表達(dá)自己的想法，追求自己的幸福。她性格倔強(qiáng)，從不在任何人面前低頭，她曾在凱瑟琳夫人的質(zhì)問下這樣回答:“最小的妹妹和最大的姐姐都有享受青春快樂的權(quán)利，因?yàn)榻憬銈儫o法早嫁，妹妹們就不能出來社交，我認(rèn)為這對(duì)妹妹們是相當(dāng)苛刻的?！痹诋?dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)背景下，能有這樣的想法實(shí)屬罕見。達(dá)西檢討了自己過去的行為，轉(zhuǎn)而對(duì)伊麗莎白的家人禮貌有加，熱情關(guān)注，可見對(duì)伊麗莎白用情之深。他們婚后的生活甜蜜有趣，是本書的另一樁美好婚姻。

3.莉迪亞與威克姆

班內(nèi)特夫婦的第五個(gè)女兒莉迪亞(Lydia)，雖然年齡最小，卻有些早熟。她生性放蕩，膽大粗野。在軍官駐扎在小鎮(zhèn)附近時(shí)，她樂于與他們交往，享受男人殷勤的追求。她與青年軍官威克姆談情說愛，最后居然與其私奔。后經(jīng)達(dá)西先生搭救在免于身敗名裂。威克姆外表英俊，儼然紳士，本質(zhì)上卻是個(gè)不折不扣的浪蕩子，他債臺(tái)高筑，曾因?yàn)殄X財(cái)引誘達(dá)西小姐。他們婚后感情一落千丈，二人同床異夢(mèng)，經(jīng)濟(jì)拮據(jù)，生活不幸，經(jīng)常向他們的姐姐伊麗莎白求助。

這是簡(jiǎn)·奧斯丁筆下的一樁以美貌和情色為基礎(chǔ)的不幸婚姻。4.盧卡斯與柯林斯

柯林斯(Collins)先生是個(gè)愚蠢勢(shì)力的小人，他因要繼承班內(nèi)特先生的財(cái)產(chǎn)而深感不安，想在5個(gè)姐妹中挑取一個(gè)作為自己的妻子，以此作為補(bǔ)償。在遭到伊麗莎白的拒絕后，柯林斯馬上向伊麗莎白最好的朋友盧卡斯(Lucas)小姐求婚。最后和盧卡斯結(jié)為夫婦。盧卡斯小姐年滿27歲，既不漂亮又沒有財(cái)產(chǎn)，她像當(dāng)時(shí)大多數(shù)女性一樣，“她既不看中男人，又不看中夫妻生活，一貫只把結(jié)婚當(dāng)作她自己的人生目標(biāo)。”她所需要的不過是一個(gè)舒適的家。她最終成為了牧師住宅的主婦，兩人之間毫無婚姻幸?？裳浴＿@是一樁“犧牲一切高尚感情，來屈就世俗利益”的不幸婚姻。

以上即是《傲慢與偏見》里的四段婚姻，但伊麗莎白的幾個(gè)姐妹和女友的婚事，這些都是陪襯，用來與女主人公伊麗莎白理想的婚姻相對(duì)照。如盧卡斯和柯林斯盡管婚后過著舒適的物質(zhì)生活，但他們之間沒有愛情，這種婚姻實(shí)際上是掩蓋在華麗外衣下的社會(huì)悲劇。作者借助班內(nèi)特家庭的縮影折射出18世紀(jì)的英國鄉(xiāng)村當(dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)婚姻意識(shí), 反映了18世紀(jì)末到19世紀(jì)初處于保守和閉塞狀態(tài)下的英國鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)生活和世態(tài)人情。婚姻悲劇在那一時(shí)代是很普遍的，班內(nèi)特家庭發(fā)生的事情只是當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)婚姻意識(shí)的一個(gè)代表。究其根本原因，很簡(jiǎn)單，即那個(gè)時(shí)候的封建勢(shì)力相當(dāng)強(qiáng)大，婦女地位低下，生活在社會(huì)的底層，生活圈子相當(dāng)狹窄，根本無法選擇自己喜歡的生活與婚姻，社會(huì)的不平等性成了那一時(shí)代的婚姻典型，享受愛情是一種奢侈，嫁一戶有權(quán)錢的人家才是值得賀喜的大事。婦女沒有工作，沒有得以維持生計(jì)的能力，只有依靠婚姻這條路來為將來的生活來源做打算。這是解決將來生計(jì)的最普遍、也是最行之有效的方法。如書中所描寫的，每一位太太在后半生最大的愿望便是嫁女兒，讓她們未來在丈夫的資產(chǎn)庇護(hù)下得以生存。這與本書篇首“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.凡是有錢的單身漢，都需要一位太太，這已經(jīng)成了一條舉世公認(rèn)的真理。”呼應(yīng)，所以郡里一旦來了一位有錢的紳士，母親們便把他看作是自家某個(gè)女兒理所應(yīng)得的財(cái)產(chǎn)。這也自然而然的說明了當(dāng)班納特太太得知伊麗莎白拒絕柯林斯的求婚后為何十分氣憤，責(zé)怪女兒不明智的原因。以柯林斯在金錢方面的條件而言，可以保證伊麗莎白將來有安定、溫飽的生活，在其母親看來，放棄這樣一棵“搖錢樹”是一種無理取鬧。在她年輕的時(shí)候，也是通過婚姻來衣食無憂，現(xiàn)在她更有義務(wù)要求女兒們以此獲得“幸?！?，沒有原因，這是她的過來經(jīng)歷，是一種規(guī)律，是英國社會(huì)當(dāng)時(shí)的婚姻法則。這便是那一時(shí)代的資本主義社會(huì)，婚姻怪圈便是金錢至上的一個(gè)體現(xiàn)。

《傲慢與偏見》以社會(huì)女性主義觀點(diǎn)切入，檢視奧斯汀的社會(huì)背景，探索社會(huì)環(huán)境如何影響女性在面臨婚姻時(shí)，內(nèi)心的焦慮與掙扎。就社會(huì)女性主義者而言，物質(zhì)環(huán)境為塑造女性婚姻意識(shí)的決定因素。事實(shí)上，婚姻，就小說人物而言，為一個(gè)階級(jí)交換與經(jīng)濟(jì)交流的市場(chǎng)。為了達(dá)成結(jié)婚的目的，女性人物擅于把自己轉(zhuǎn)化成商品，展示其外貌與才藝，吸引男性目光。此一時(shí)期女性受到社會(huì)價(jià)值的鼓勵(lì)，利用其女性特質(zhì)來贏得婚姻伴侶。雖本書通篇是伊麗莎白幽默的俏皮話，可是這種俏皮話之下覆蓋隱藏的卻是那一時(shí)代的人們無盡的苦惱、不滿、遺恨?；蛟S不幸、不平等太多了，變成了麻木，于是令人羨慕、認(rèn)可的“幸?！北澈螅哑鲋氖墙疱X、淚水、悔恨、遺憾，唯一沒有的便是真愛。作者崇尚的是自由自主的婚姻，作者用辛辣的筆鋒嘲諷世俗，通過自己的筆塑造出伊麗莎白這一進(jìn)步形象來告訴讀者，像賓利夫婦與達(dá)西夫婦那樣理想的婚姻是可能出現(xiàn)的，并且鼓勵(lì)人們?nèi)ビ赂易非罄硐氲幕橐雠c生活。

II.Summary The story shows the British society's life at that time by describing the marriage problems.It mainly describes the love story of Bennet ’s several daughters.Mr.Bingley is newly from London and falls in love with the biggest daughter, Jane.His friend Darcy is sweet upon the second daughter Elizabeth, but their marriage moves slowly for some reasons.After a range of interesting troubles, the misunderstandings are finally removed.With Darcy overcomes his pride, and Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, they get together finally.By describing different marriages, Austin expresses her opinions of the marriage which insist on the understanding to each other.To a certain extent, this novel also reflects the wish for the independent marriage for women at that time.Mr.Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hertfordshire with his overbearing wife.The Bennets 5 daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia.Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr.Bennet dies their house will be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met, so the family's future happiness and security are dependent on the daughters making good marriages.Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighborhood of the rich gentleman Mr.Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country.Mr.Bingley brings with him his sister and his friend Mr.Darcy.One night, at a dancing party, Mr.Bingley is well-received in the community;but Mr.Darcy is very proud and indifferent to other people.Mr.Bingley falls in love with Jane immediately, and so does Jane.Mr.Bingley and Jane Bennet begin to grow close relationship despite Mrs.Bennet's interference and the opposition of Bingley's sister.Because of Mr.Darcy’s pride, Elizabeth is stung by his haughty rejection of her and decides to match his coldness with her own wit.Sometime later, Mr.Darcy begins to develop interests in Elizabeth.At another dancing party, Mr.Darcy invites Elizabeth to dance only to be refused.Mr.Darcy is in a difficult position.At the same time

Elizabeth begins a friendship with Mr.Wickham, a militia officer who relates a prior acquaintance with Darcy.Wickham tells her that he has been seriously mistreated by Darcy.Elizabeth immediately seizes upon this information as another reason to hate Darcy.Bingley's sister has pursuit Mr.Darcy for a long time, but when she finds that Mr.Darcy is fond of Elizabeth.The anger makes her prevent the development of their relationship.In addition, Mr.Darcy also dislikes Elizabeth’s mother and sisters for their vulgarism.Finally, Mr.Bingley leaves London under the persuasion of his sister and Mr.Darcy.Before Bingley leaves, Mr.Collins, the male relative who is to inherit Longbourn, makes a sudden appearance and stays with the Bennets.He is a recently ordained clergyman employed by the wealthy and patronizing Lady Catherine de Bourgh.Collins has another reason for visiting: he wishes to find a wife from among the Bennet sisters.Mr.Bennet and Elizabeth are amused by his self-important and pedantic behavior.He immediately enters pursuit of Jane;however, when Mrs.Bennet mentions her preoccupation with Mr.Bingley, he turns to Elizabeth.He soon proposes marriage to Elizabeth, only to be refused again.Collins quickly recovers and proposes to Elizabeth's close friend, Charlotte Lucas, who immediately accepts him.Once the marriage is arranged, Charlotte asks Elizabeth to come for an extended visit.In the spring, Elizabeth joins Charlotte and her cousin at his parish in Kent.The parish is adjacent to Rosings Park, the grand manor of Mr.Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, where Elizabeth frequently invites.While calling on Lady Catherine, Mr.Darcy encounters Elizabeth.She discovers from a cousin of Darcy that it is he who separates Bingley and Jane.Soon after, Darcy admits his love of Elizabeth and proposes to her.Insulted by his high-handed and insulting manner of proposing, Elizabeth refuses him.When he asks why she should refuse him, she tells him the story of Bingley and Jane, furthermore, she also takes Mr.Wickham’s story as an example to blame Mr.Darcy.Deeply shaken by Elizabeth's vehemence and accusations, Darcy writes her a letter justifying his actions and decides to change himself.In the letter, he says that it is Wickham who uses up all the legacy-settlement.As for Bingley and Jane, Darcy justifies his actions from having observed that Jane does not show any reciprocal interest in his friend;thus his aim in separating them is mainly to protect Bingley from heartache.Darcy admits he is concerned about the disadvantageous connection with Elizabeth's family, especially her embarrassing mother and wild younger sisters.After reading the letter, Elizabeth begins to question both her family's behaviors and Wickham's credibility;she concludes that Wickham is not as trustworthy as his easy manners would indicate, and that her early impressions of Darcy may not have been accurate.Soon after receiving the letter Elizabeth returns home.Some months later, during a tour of Derbyshire with her aunt and uncle, Elizabeth visits Darcy's estate.There they meet again, and Darcy is different from before.He becomes friendly and modest, which leaves Elizabeth a good impression.Some good things happening between Darcy and Elizabeth when news arrives that Elizabeth's younger sister Lydia has run away with Wickham.Elizabeth is convinced that Darcy will be angry with her.However, Darcy does the opposite thing.With the help of Darcy, Lydia and Wickham are found and married.Bingley and Jane are together after a lot of hardships in the end, but Darcy’s aunt Lady Catherine travels to Longbourn with the sole aim of confronting Elizabeth and demanding that she never accepts such a proposal of marries Darcy.Elizabeth refuses to bow to Lady Catherine's demands.When the news reaches Darcy, it convinces him that her opinion of him has changed.When he visits, he once again proposes marriage.Elizabeth accepts, and the two become engaged.In the end, all the people in the novel are happy, and this is the happy ending.III.Comments

In my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time.It perfectly reflects the relation between money and marriage at her time and gives the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities.The most important part of the novel is the love story between Elizabeth and Darcy.Elizabeth is a smart and beautiful girl born in a middle class family who is persistent and brave in the pursuit of love.The story’s spread leads on Elizabeth’s feeling to Darcy: from detestation to admiration and then love.In addition, other people’s happiness also appears during this period of time.Jane Austen writes this for the purpose of showing the thinking of the women’s love, marriage and expectation at that time.Now let me talk something about the marriage in the novel briefly.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is based on both money and love, and love is more important.This is the perfect marriage.The only purpose of Collins and Lucas’ marriage is pursuit.Only by

marrying someone can Lucas feels safety.Jane and Bingley’s marriage is based on beauty and money.This is also a kind of good marriage.They will be happy.Lydia and Wickham’s marriage is only based on passion.They only care about the appearance.We can image whether their life will happy or not.Jane Austen thinks that it is wrong for people to marry for money and social statues;on the other hand, she also disagrees to the marriage regardless of the former aspects.So Jane Austen calls on the reasonable marriage, and the marriage should be based on love.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 remain the main reason that may influence one’s marriage.Marrying 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, and 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 her time and in modern time.I really learn a lot from the book, which makes me think a lot.It is one of the best books that I have ever read.Furthermore, I think it is one of the best books that have ever been written.The reason that I have such feelings maybe I really read too few books.So, there are still many wonderful books in front of me waiting to be read.Keep reading, keep moving.
