1、傲慢与偏见是英国著名女作家简奥斯汀的一部伟大著作。它以男女主人公的爱情纠葛为主线，描写四段不同的婚姻，展示了当时社会爱情和婚姻的状况。本文旨在分析四组人物的爱情观与婚姻观，并探讨简奥斯汀的爱情观和婚姻观。四组不同的婚姻及不同的人物向读者展现了不同的恋爱观和婚姻观。在傲慢与偏见中，有人只是为了追求地位，权利和财富而结合，也有人只是为了追寻真爱。但是，人们要考虑到现实社会的残酷性。人们应对爱情观与婚姻观有清楚的认识，不要被虚伪和假情假意所蒙蔽。真正的爱情与婚姻应基于真爱；过多的追求权利，地位与金钱的爱情与婚姻是不幸福的。关键词：简奥斯汀；傲慢与偏见；爱情观与婚姻观Table of Contents

IntroductionIn a sense, Pride and Prejudice is the story of two courtships those between Darcy and Elizabeth and between Bingley and Jane. Within this broad structure appear other, smaller courtships: Mr. Collinss aborted

6、wooing of Elizabeth, followed by his successful wooing of Charlotte Lucas; Wickhams pursuit first of Elizabeth, them of the never-seen Miss King, and finally of Lydia. Courtship therefore takes on a profound, of often unspoken, importance in the novel. Marriage is the ultimate goal; courtship consti

7、tutes the real working-out of love. Courtship becomes a sort of forge of a persons personality, and each courtship becomes a microcosm for different sorts of love （or different ways to abuse love as a means to social advancement）.Through the Darcy-Elizabeth and Bingley-Jane marriages, Austen shows t

8、he power of love and happiness to overcome class boundaries and prejudices, thereby implying that such prejudices are hollow, unfeeling, and unproductive. “Jane Austen thinks that marriage will not be happy without love. The happy marriage should be based on the mutual respect, mutual admiration” （Z

9、hong, 2010:8）. Of course, this whole discussion of class must be made with the understanding that Austen herself is often criticized as being a classist: she doesnt really represent anyone from the lower classes; those servants she portrays are generally happy with their lot. Austen does criticize c

10、lass structure but only a limited slice of that structure. “The rational and realistic features of her love stories are also an important part in attracting her readers attention and interest” （Ye, 2010:12）. Jane Austen sets Elizabeth and Jane as examples for the girls who want to be happy. British

11、female writer Virginia Woolf once said that: “Among all the greatest writers, Jane Austen is the most difficult one to be captured in the great moments” （Virginia Woolf, 1927:35）. The American psychologist Dr. Arnold A. Lazarus stresses that, “happy marriage is based on similarity, not difference” （

12、Dr. Arnold, 1978:26）. And peoples marriage is based on social status and property. As Zhu Hong says: “the essence of marriage （at that time） is money dealing and beneficial integration” （Zhu, 1985:45）. In Lord David Cecils view: “Conflict arises between dissimilar characters, and the deepest attachm

13、ents are based on characters similarity or affinity as expressions of the same spiritual principle” （Cecil, 1959:146）. Education background, possessions, remain the main reason that may influence ones marriage. In Pride and Prejudice, there are marriages based on vanity, carelessness and wealth, we

14、should not be controlled by these shortages in the real society, but keep our own faiths and feelings.The concept of love and marriage in this novel gives inspiration to readers. The combination based on money, social status and power is false and unreal. This dissertation analyses four marriages in

15、 Pride and Prejudice, and discusses different concept of love and marriage.2. The Introduction to Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice2.1 The Introduction to Jane AustenJane Austen （1775-1817） was born in Hampshire, a country priest family located in Hants, the village of Kingston, Sidemen in north E

16、ngland. Her six novelsSense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Manshifeierde Manor, Emma, Persuasion all describe more than marriage. During Austens life, however, only her immediate family knew of her authorship of these novels. At one point, she wrote behind a door that creake

17、d when visitors approached; this warning allowed her to hide manuscripts before anyone could enter. Though publishing anonymously prevented her from acquiring an authorial reputation, it also enabled her to preserve her privacy at a time when English society associated a females entrance into the pu

18、blic sphere with a reprehensible loss of femininity. Additionally, Austen may have sought anonymity because of the more general atmosphere of repression pervading her era.The social milieu of Austens Regency England was particularly stratified, and class divisions were rooted in family connections a

19、nd wealth. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen is critical of the assumptions and prejudices of upper class England. She distinguishes between internal merit （goodness of person） and external merit （rank and possessions）, just like Mr. Darcy. Though she frequently satirizes snobs, she also pokes fun at t

20、he poor breeding and misbehavior of those lower on the social scale, just like Mr. Collins. Nevertheless, Austen was in many ways a realist, and the England she depicts is one in which social mobility is limited and class-consciousness is strong. “Her success is due to her unrivalled creation of pla

21、usible characters and their idiolects, her melding of emotional analysis and psychological acuity with social satire and comedy” （Janet Todd, 2006:132）.2.2 The Introduction to Pride and Prejudice As in any good love story, the lovers, Darcy and Elizabeth must elude and overcome numerous stumbling bl

22、ocks. Austen, meanwhile, poses countless smaller obstacles to the realization of the love between Elizabeth and Darcy. Through the Darcy-Elizabeth and Bingley-Jane marriages, Austen shows the power of love and happiness to overcome class boundaries and prejudices, thereby implying that such prejudic

23、es are hollow, unfeeling, and unproductive. Pride and Prejudice depicts a society in which a womans reputation is of the utmost importance. A woman is expected to behave in certain ways. Stepping outside the social norms makes her vulnerable to ostracism. In the 19th century, women have no real righ

24、ts and freedom to choose and do what they want. “The central life of women was forced to be staying at home; their roles were to deal with the family affairs, such as taking care of the children and serving for the husband” （Zhu Hong, 1995: 34）. Although many women dream of beautiful and romantic lo

25、ve and marriage, the reality forces them to give up and obey the real society.3. The Concept of Love and Marriage in the Society and the Four Marriages 3.1 The Concept of Love and Marriage in the SocietyJane Austen （1813:1）, “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of

26、a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” This sentence also offers a miniature sketch of the entire plot, which concerns itself with the pursuit of “single men in possession of a good fortune” by various female characters. The preoccupation with socially advantageous marriage in nineteenth-century

27、 English society manifests itself here, for in claiming that a single man “must be in want of a wife,” the narrator reveals that the reverse is also true: a single woman, whose socially prescribed options are quite limited, is in （perhaps desperate） want of a husband. “The class distinction in Brita

28、in, the economic relationships and even womens status are exposed through the characters prudent choice in finding a mate” （Liu, 2010:18）.In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen deals with a comparatively affluent society. “The love making of her young people, though serious and sympathetic, is subdued

29、by humor to the ordinary plane of emotion of which most of us live” （Wu, 1998:118）. In this novel, Austen explicates clearly the true nature of marriage of the upper classmarriage of fortune and interests. With the huge topic of the nineteenth century, marriage, Austen shows us how such things matter. 3.2 The Four Ma
