19、sful 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. 第49页/共95页第四十九页，共96页。 In the beginning, Elizabeth and Darcy were distant from each other because of their prejudice.

20、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 relations

23、eth, there is a flaw in their relationship. The flaw is that both characters are too gullible and too good-hearted to ever act strongly against external forces that may attempt to separate them:You Jane and Bingley are each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved on; so easy, that ev

Once these qualities can

25、 no longer be seen by each other, the once strong relationship will slowly fade away. As in the novel, Lydia and Wickhams marriage gradually disintegrates; Lydia becomes a regular visitor at her two elder sisters home when her husband was gone to enjoy himself in London or Bath. Through their relati

26、onship, Austen shows that 第54页/共95页第五十四页，共96页。第55页/共95页第五十五页，共96页。 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 herself from spinsterhood or to gain financial

27、security. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen dramatizes gender inequality and shows that women who submit themselves to this type of marriage will have to suffer in tormenting silence as Charlotte does:When Mr. Collins said any thing of which his wife might reasonably be ashamed, which certainly was not

28、 unseldom, she Elizabeth would involuntarily turned her eye on Charlotte. Once or twice she could discern a faint blush; but in general Charlotte wisely did not hear. (Chapter 28)第56页/共95页第五十六页，共96页。第57页/共95页第五十七页，共96页。 The relationship between Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet was similar to that of Lydia

29、 and Wickham. Mr. Bennet had married a woman he found sexually attractive without realizing she was an unintelligent woman. Mrs. Bennets favoritism towards Lydia and her comments on how she was once as energetic as Lydia reveals this similarity. Mr. Bennets comment on Wickham being his favorite son-

30、in-law reinforces this parallelism. The effect of the relationships was that Mr. Bennet would isolate himself from his family; he found refuge in his library or in mocking his wife. Mr. Bennets self-realization at the end of the novel in which he discovers that his lack of attention towards his fami

31、ly had led his family to develop the way they are, was too late to save his family.第58页/共95页第五十八页，共96页。 Bennet is Austens example of a weak father. In these two latter relationships, Austen shows that it is necessary to use good judgment to select a spouse, otherwise the two people will lose respect

32、 for each other.第59页/共95页第五十九页，共96页。Summary: 1. Criteria of marriage: These five marriages contribute to the theme that a happy and strong marriage takes time to build and must be based on mutual feeling, understanding, and respect.

35、页第六十二页，共96页。Arrangement of the Plot eg. Mr. Darcy Elizabeth Lady Catherine De Bourghs Mrs Bennet Elizabeth 第63页/共95页第六十三页，共96页。 The tone of the novel is light, satirical, and vivid. Eg: Mr. Collins proposal to Elizabeth Lady Catherines visitto Lizzy at Longbourn, provides comic relief to the reader

36、while at the same time revealing certain traits of the characters. Lydias lack of common sense and responsibility is revealed when she takes pride in being the first Bennet girl to be married. Lydia does not take into consideration the circumstance of her marriage, the personality of her husband, or

37、 the prospects of their marriage for the future. Elizabeth Bennets ability to laugh off her misfortune and to continue to be optimistic, considering her situation, also contributes to the tone of the novel. 第64页/共95页第六十四页，共96页。“ It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession

38、 of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Q: What kind of rhetorical device is employed in this sentence? What is the function of this sentence? 第65页/共95页第六十五页，共96页。 The first sentence sets the tone for the entire novel, in that the whole work is a masterpiece of irony. (the irony between the

39、first half of the sentence and the second half of the sentence) Subject matter: courtship and marriage第66页/共95页第六十六页，共96页。 The sentence begins as though the novel were going to be a great philosophical discourse. “It is a truth universally acknowledged” implies that the novel will deal with great tr

40、uths, but the second half of the sentence reveals that the great universal truth is no more than a consideration of a common social situation. Thus there is an ironic difference between the formal manner of the statement and the ultimate meaning of the sentence. The “truth” spoken of is that a singl

41、e man in possession of a fortune must need a wife, whereas in reality the sentence means that a woman without a fortune needs a man with a fortune for a husband. 第67页/共95页第六十七页，共96页。 Austens book is a piece of literature that connects itself to the 18th century period. Pride and Prejudice is 18th ce

42、ntury 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 Austen had allowed personal feelings of the characters to

43、 be expressed in her work, she can also be classified as Romantic. 第68页/共95页第六十八页，共96页。 Traditional ideas about status and class distinctions are beginning to give way to money as a dominant value. eg. 1.

Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year.第70页/共95页第七十页，共96页。 The most remarkable characterist

45、ic of Jane Austen as a novelist is her recognition of the limits of her knowledge of life and her determination never to go beyond these limits in her books. She describes her own class, in the part of the country with which she was acquainted; and both the types of character and the events are such

46、 as she knew from first-hand observation and experience. But to the portrayal of these she brought an extraordinary power of delicate and subtle delineation, a gift of lively dialogue, and a peculiar detachment. She abounds in humor, but it is always quiet and controlled; and though one feels that s

47、he sees through the affectations and petty hypocrisies of her circle, she seldom becomes openly satirical. The fineness of her workmanship, unexcelled in the English novel, makes possible the discrimination of characters who have outwardly little or nothing to distinguish them; and the analysis of t

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
