IntroductionPride and Prejudice作品斜体！改正所有类似错误 reflects the British sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative，and tells us different ways and attitudes to the marriage between Mr. and Mrs. Bennets five daughters. This reveals the authors attitude toward marriage .And that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, and it is very stupid. And we must emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, oppose to love and marriage based on money or property(Hu 17).It was the economy, money that master masters peoples life, fate and marriage. Austen had a particular eye in finding the truth: the substance of capitalist marriage is a trade of money and benefit The first sentence in this novel, in which the understone is very clear, is impressive.It reads: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. That is, : the foundation of the marriage at that time is not love but possession,1.1. Concepts about Money and Marriage in the Society这部分不用再分了，合成一个就行了It shows our ordinary life, which people think . By the description of peoples daily activities, the author gave us a panoramic view of the social customs. The authors view that marriage should be based on true love is reflected in a positive way. However, we can find through some couples on the opposite of the monetary base, which helps to make the plot has more twists and turns. In this book, the author has fully proved that her money and marriage points. The simple life at a specific time, so that people pay very special attention to money, to a certain extent, which affected their marriage opinions. Jane Austen had a vivid description of love, money, marriage, in a womans unique vision . In this paper, several young men and women talked about the relationship between money and marriage, Collins and Charlotte, Wickham and Lydia Bingley and Jane, Darcy and Elizabeth to these people. On one hand, by setting a typical example from the book, the author affirmed the importance of money in marriage; On the other hand, she stressed that communication was more important than money. Different roles discussed in the pursuit of marriage, this article tells us the substance of marriage in that era.Indeed, this is a romantic love story, but at the same time, Austin is not limited to telling the love story. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the results of love, but the results of the economic needs in most cases. After reading this book, I 论文中尽量避免这种语气know that a poor woman needs a husband, a rich man, just as told in the first sentence. The novel also reflects the authors own views on marriage: that the marriage based on the property, money and status, is wrong. She stress the importance of the ideal marriage, the moods of the men and women as a cornerstone of the ideal marriage. The writer uses smart words to describe several different marriages in the book, which reflects peoples attitude toward marriage. Through Elizabeths views, we can understand the nature of the marriage of Jane and Bingley, the marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy , the marriage of Lydia and Wickham, Charlotte and Collinss marriage. Through intelligent heroine, we see a description of the marriage. If the marriage is based on wealth and beauty, it is wrong. This marriage can not maintain long-term happiness,and the base of truly happy marriage is on love and sense.2. Analysis of Four Different Marriages in Pride and Prejudice2.1. Collins and Charlottes MarriageThe most realistic marriageCharlotte and Elizabeth are best friends, but they have a different choice of marriage. Although Charlotte is a well-educated girl but she doesnt have much property.She isnt as beautiful as other girls. She realize that marriage isnt equal with happiness, but it is inherently like a safe to a woman (83) . As an already 27 years old woman, her choice of marriage is entirely out of realistic consideration. When she first met Collins, she saw his folly, and when he asked her to marry him, she also clearly know Collinss certainly not a reasonable person, and do not let people like. But she still accepts the proposal, for marriage has been her goal, as to find that kind of guy, married life is less concerned about how well educated, education but property for the young woman, it not marry is the only a decent way to happiness, and although can doubt and married also must be their most agreeable can from poverty refuge. In order to get the security of the financial guarantee, marriage is really a rare opportunity, we need to cache quickly. The marriage has nothing to do with what kind of person the man is, where Charlotte is different from Elizabeth. She owns no wealth. she is humble but she is very smart, and she thinks that there is a chance whether marriage will be happy or not. By the marriage of Charlotte, she just wants to get a rich husband, so she can have economic security. For them marriae is merely a task. Charlotte gets stable of rich life; Collins also gets a warm home: Collins couples obtain from the marriage what they want. They understand marriage in such a way.2.2. Wickham and Lydias MarriageThe most ridiculous marriageLydia and Wickham is absurd combination. of Their relationship is not built on the foundation of love but completely on the full desire and appearance, so that it is neither realistic nor romantic.Wickham has a handsome appearance and moral corruption. Besides he is very luxury and betrayal. He first deceived the rich Miss Darcy, but he failed. Later, he participated in the first Elizabeth, and then launched and all of Miss Jin rich pursuit, finally the accident and Lydia elopement.Bennett, daughter Lydia is a simple, frivolous and vain girl, young age and sharp, like a happy society, personnel exchanges, and proud of it. If any one called for, she will be put into the embrace of any person. Her feelings are always ups and downs, wavering.Wickham is a handsome appearance, actual moral corruption, very luxury, and treachery. First he deceived rich Darcy miss, he failed. Centuries later, he joined the first to Elizabeth, then and all the gold to rich miss launch to pursue, finally unexpectedly and Lydia elopement.Bennetts daughter Lydia is a simple, frivolous and vanity girl, the young age and keen on social, like and merrys officer exchanges, and proud of it. If anyone a urged, she will devote anyones arms. Her feelings always kept fluctuating, wavering.The marriage between them is conditional, and it is in Darcys help, the two talents grudgingly married. But two extravagant, consider eyes comfortable and happy, CARES in the future, they often depend to Jane or Elizabeth write for help, hoping their put to pay bills. Wickham to Lydia love soon turned into a cold. Lydia and Wickham is also from marriage got what they want: Lydia got erotic satisfied; Wickham also get what he wanted wealth, this is their understanding of marriage.2.3. Bingley and Janes Marriage The most happy marriageAmong all the marriages in this novel, the combination of pleasant Bingley and mild Jane is the most blessed and happy one.Bingley and Janes Marriage was mainly based on their love. They felt in love with each other at the first sight. Jane and Bingley match each other faces, male prodigy, anyone opinion, they are the most suitable for together. But they love did not develop very thoughtfully. For a long time, they were separated from each other without knowing anything of the others. 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.Compared with Bingley, Jane was poor and had some unconformable relations. Janes status didnt match their brother; more importantly, she couldnt bring them any benefits. Then Bingleys sister tried their best to prevent Bingley and Janes connection. Though Bingley made determined to marry Jane after they got together for the second time, their love wasnt growing without a hitch. Anyhow, in the middle of the book Bingley estranges Jane for sometime because of her lower station and not rich enough.After Bingleys 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. Two attraction and mutual love, although be the best things are difficult, finally, they also abandoned status many obstacles together.According to the relationship between Bingley and Jane, love and simila in the personality , build up a successful and happy marriage. With many similarities, people can understand each other very easily. The most important thing is that couples with similar interests can live a happy life together, because there is understanding between them to help and support the marriage. They do not care about the defects of their partners. As the old saying: “Birds of a feather flock together, people of a mind fill into the same group.” In my opinion, love is not the main base of their marriage. To some degree, it is a kind of attraction. Jane is attracted by the handsome and gentleman poise of Binley, and Binley is attracted by the beauty and kindness of Jane. Their love depends more on their mutual admiration for each other. Marriage is a complex contract, and both parties must have enough love in order to maintain the basis of this contract. But the love between Jane and Bingley is not enough deep-rooted. So I 同上do not have a sense of security, it seems to lurk a hint of a dangerous atmosphere.2.4. Darcy and Elizabeths MarriageThe most admirable marriageThere is no doubt that Elizabeth and Darcys love is the shining pearl in the history of literary, and their love is the ideal mode which has been esteem by Austen(Zheng 79). Elizabeth was born in the family of squireens, and loved by Darcy. Darcy proposes marriage to her in spite of their difference of the possession of property and social status, but is still refused by Elizabeth because of his pride. So if Darcys pride still exists, there will be no love and even happy marriage between Elizabeth and him. Elizabeth and Darcy begins to each other and left a bad impression. Elizabeth thinks Darcy insolent and Darcy also because Elizabeth place social class and she is not very decent relatives who ignored her advantages and virtue. Later, Darcy finally realized that Elizabeths preciousness, launch to pursue after the rejection, in overcoming difficulties still not gas, finally eliminated through its own actions of their own prejudices and Elizabeth, thus two misunderstanding came together. It is generally accepted that Elizabeth begins to love Darcy when she first visit Pemberley and feels it will to be something to be mistress of this huge estate. She is impressed by money as well as taste. After all, few men have a magnificent estate to impress their lovers. When Lydia and Wick ham elope, Darcy saved the fame of the Bennetts by buying Wick ham into marrying Lydia. This helped his second proposal. Darcy can do this easily because that sum is no big deal compared to his 10,000 pounds annual income. Two true lovers who complete one another make a good match; with a fortune they make a perfect one.Economic and social structures with such great power sways interpersonal the relationships between people and this made her became the cartoonist monster(D.W.Hardin 166-179). With first marriage proposal as a border, in thinking changed not only is Elizabeth, and Darcy. Elizabeth because Darcy letter, to realize their prejudice; Darcy because Elizabeth words, to realize their arrogance. If Elizabeth for Darcys first marriage proposal didnt refuse words may Darcy for her infatuation will not lasting. If no refusal dialogue, Darcy or that although multimillionaire, although a handsome, but too arrogant on high. For such people, Elizabeth even for impulsive and agreed to marry him, in the near future, Elizabeth still will be sorry. And if not rejected that after letter, Elizabeth is still that although bright, beautiful, frank, but too subjective and prejudice, for such people, Darcy will soon tired. Because have these twists and turns, the love between them is more precious, more deeply.3. An Analysis of Womens Social StatusAt that time, according to the social condition in Britain, a good marriage for a young woman was critical. This phenomenon was closely associated with the British society and the status of the status of women in the society. In the 19th century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society. There was on equality between women and men. (Zhu Hong, P34, 1997). The main life of women was forced to be staying at home, their roles were to deal with the family affairs, taking care of children and serving for their husband. Patient and deferent were the virtues of women. At that time, there were three solutions for middle-class young women: getting married, staying at home as old maids or working as the family female teachers. Since the income and status of family female teacher was very low and no one would like to be a maid forever, th
