　　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.

　　The 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.

　　The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.

　　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 “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.

　　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 her time and in modern time.

　　《傲慢與偏見》是簡·奧斯汀的代表作。這部作品以日常生活為素材，一反當時社會上流行的感傷小說的內容和矯揉造作的寫作方法，生動地反映了18世紀末到19世紀初處於保守和閉塞狀態下的英國鄉鎮生活和世態人情。

　　簡·奧斯汀是英國女小說家。生於鄉村小鎮斯蒂文頓，父親是當地教區牧師。奧斯汀沒有上過正規學校，但受到較好的家庭教育，主要教材就是父親的文學藏書。奧斯汀一家愛讀流行小說，多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女時期的習作就是對這類流行小說的滑稽模仿，這樣就形成了她作品中嘲諷的基調。她20歲左右開始寫作，共發表了6部長篇小說。1811年出版的《理智與情感》是她的處女作，隨後又接連發表了《傲慢與偏見》、《曼斯菲爾德花園》、《愛瑪》、《諾桑覺寺》和《勸導》。

　　《傲慢與偏見》並沒有什麼波瀾起伏的故事情節，描繪的都是生活瑣事，平淡的故事中我看到了作者的別具匠心，大量形容詞的運用是為人物形象做了鋪墊，極其誇張的表現正是人物性格的體現，善於在日常平凡事物中塑造鮮明的人物形象。

　　《傲慢與偏見》原名《最初的印象》，是奧斯丁的代表作，通過婚姻問題的描寫展示了當時英國社會的生活畫面。故事圍繞貝內特一家幾個女兒的婚姻大事展開。從倫敦新搬來的單身漢闊少賓利先生愛上了溫柔美貌的大女兒簡，他的朋友達西則傾情於二女兒伊麗莎白。由於她聽信了年輕軍官韋恩的讒言而對達西產生了偏見致使這樁婚姻進行的十分緩慢。經過一連串有趣的周折後，誤會終於得以消除。達西克服了傲氣，伊麗莎白也克服了對他的偏見，最後兩人終成眷屬。與此同時，作品還涉及了另外兩對青年男女的結合過程，即已是27歲的夏洛特出於尋找歸宿找個可以依靠的有錢人遂於柯林斯結婚，莉迪亞一貫輕浮，與韋恩私奔後，經達西搭救而苟合成婚。奧斯丁正是通過對不同婚姻的描寫表達自己對建立在互相理解和真誠愛情基礎上的婚姻的讚揚和對以門第財產和情慾為基礎的愛情的諷刺。在一定程度上，這部小說也反映了當時英國婦女爭取婚姻自主的願望與理想。

　　作者在本文中塑造了各種人物對婚姻的不同對待，有姐姐簡的一波三折，有妹妹的一味追求外表金錢和地位，和夏洛特與柯林斯的無愛婚姻悲劇，他們雖然說都是對伊麗莎白和達西婚姻的陪襯但是足以看出作者想要表達出自己內心的愛情婚姻觀，以及對社會風氣的批判。

　　在批判的同時，作者也褒揚著伊麗莎白和達西的婚姻。他們不顧地位差異，儘管一波三折，但是最終的美滿結局就是作者所讚揚的。作者呼籲著女性們要有自己的主見，放遠眼見，這樣才能去主宰自己的一切，才能促成自己美滿的生活。在女性不受公平待遇的社會，他的這種呼籲是難能可貴的。

　　本書中的語言深刻令人深思，代表了作者對封建制度的不滿與抨擊，如“對不要臉的人，決不能低估了其不要臉的程度。”而另一方面，也表現出作者對美好愛情的歌頌與讚揚:“將感情埋藏得太深有時是件壞事。如果一個女人掩飾了對自己所愛的男子的感情，她也許就失去了得到他的機會。”

　　《傲慢與偏見》毫無疑問是一篇不朽之作。
