On Jane Austen’s View Of Marriage In Pride And Prejudice_英语论文

摘要

在19世纪，英国出现了许多女作家，她们用她们的笔描写她们的所见所闻以及自己的感受，并融入在了自己的文学著作当中。其中的一个就是简˙奥斯汀。 她在她的《傲慢与偏见》当中描写了数个婚姻案例，这些案例反映了18世纪末19世纪初英国人的婚姻观。在那个等级观念盛行的年代，金钱和社会地位在婚姻中占据着主要作用。然而，在书中，作者通过对班纳特、柯林斯、夏洛特、莉迪亚和威克汉姆等人的婚姻的描写，讽刺了将金钱，社会地位等外在条件当做婚姻的主要因素，倡导在婚姻中，爱情和对彼此的尊重才是最重要的。奥斯丁尝试表达这样的一种观念，即完美的婚姻，爱情与对彼此的尊重才是首要， 我们应摒弃婚姻中的金钱观和地位观。本文将在分析书中的人物以及他们各自的婚姻的基础上，分析奥斯汀的婚姻观以及影响婚姻的因素。

Abstract

In the 19th century, many female artists emerged in Britain, and they just described what they have seen and heard into their own literature masterpieces with exquisite curves. One of them was just Austen. She described several marriages in Pride And prejudice, which reflected the views on marriages of the Britain people at the end of 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century. In a society that level views were pervasive, money and social status take the main position in marriage. However, in the novel, Austen satire this kind of opinion by describing the marriages of Mrs. Bennet, Charlotte, Mr. Collins, Lydia and wickham. Austen was trying to express her views that, in perfect marriage, feeling of love and respect and understanding to each other could neither be missed, and at the same time, taking money and social status into consideration should be judged. This paper, by analyzing the four main types of marriage in the book, I will try to analyze Jane Austen’s views on marriage and the key elements described in the work of Pride And Prejudice that can affect marriage, especially the feeling of love and economic condition.
