傲慢与偏见读后感e.doc

Pride and Prejudice is the famous British writer Jane Austin masterpiece. She always writes something to reflect the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century.In the beginning of the novel, the author tell us that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife what is a truth universally acknowledged thing. However little known 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 the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. From this we can guess that the novel will tell us something about the relation between money and marriage and will represent the society in Britain at that time.Bennet family has five daughters were not married, and Mrs. Bennet is a woman full of vanity and makes great efforts to marry off her daughters, but she never bother to discipline her daughters behavior, and Mr. Bennet is a family of the old gentleman, but let his wife and daughters inappropriate behavior, would rather hide in a library to find calm. 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, but I think she is a pedant. Kitty doesnt 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. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is not only a love story but an illustration of the society at that time. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austens favorites topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century.Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy meet each other in a genteel ball. Her mother told something about the beauty of her daughter Jane. When talked about the love, Mr. Darcy asked Elizabeth what she recommended to encourage affection, she said:” Dancing. Even if ones partner is barely tolerable.” After she said this, she left. Maybe this is her love opinion. We all say that first impressions are most lasting; Mr. Darcy with his insolent way had left a deep impression on Elizabeth. Even the cheater Mr. Wickham using his clever flatter ability with his attractive appearance caught her. He slander Mr. Darcy makes Elizabeth fully believes the rhetoric of Wickham. This may have great relevance with her age. Even if she is the least sentimental daughter in her family, but still she is too young to judge a person is good or bad, she just see the superficial of a man. So Mr. Darcys arrogance behavior and the smear from Wickham led Elizabeth to misunderstand and was biased against Darcy. On the other hand, Darcy couldnt restrain himself from loving Elizabeth, so he proposed to her. But his attitude was still so arrogant, Elizabeth declined firmly. This hit made Darcy noticed the consequence from proud and conceited for the first time. Leaving a long letter to explain the things around him and Elizabeth, he left her painfully. She felt regret after reading it. Not only feel guilty for misunderstanding of Darcy, but also ashamed for the behavior of her family, especially her mother. Elizabeth gradually changed her views of Darcy. When Darcy met her in his own manor again, his sincere attitude and dignified behavior made her considerably surprised. Finally, they walked out of the misunderstanding which was pride and prejudice .It could be called a happy ending. The marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth reveals the characteristics which constitutes a successful marriage. One of these characteristics is that the feeling cannot be brought on by appearances, and must gradually develop between the two people as they get to know one another. In the beginning, Elizabeth and Darcy were distant from each other because of their pride and prejudice. The series of events which they both experienced gave them the opportunity to understand one another and the time to reconcile their feelings for each other. Thus, their mutual understanding is the foundation of their relationship and will lead them to a peaceful and lasting marriage. This relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy reveals the importance of getting to know ones partner before marrying. The marriage between Jane Bennet and Mr. Bingley is also an example of successful marriage. Jane Austen, through Elizabeth expresses her opinion of this in the novel. The marriage between Mr. Collins and Charlotte is based on economics rather than on love or appearance. It was a common practice during Austens time for women to marry a husband to save her from spinsterhood or to gain financial security. From the Pride and Prejudice I learn a lot. First, its stupid to judge a person by the first impression and always have prejudice on the person who you dont like. In a word, we cant judge a person without any further understanding or by other peoples words. Just like Elizabeths misunderstanding for Mr. Darcy. Other example, Mr. Bingley persuaded himself run awa
