Jane Austen and her pride and prejudiceAbout the authorJane Austen is a famous English novelist in English literature in the 19th century. “She was born in 1775 at Stevenson in Hampshire of middle-class parents.”(London: Macmillan Education Ltd, 1985) She neve

15、r accepted the formal school education. But “the wide range of activities within the Austen family country walks, charades, reading writing stories and family plays, constituted a rich informal education for the children, and stimulated Jane Austens ambition to become a novelist.”During the forty-tw

16、o years of her life, Austen had completed six novels Northanger Abbey, sense and sensibility, Pride and prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion and left behind three fragments. Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austens masterpiece. The initial title of the novel pride and prejudice is “First Impre

17、ssions” which was written between October 1796 and August 1797, it first publishes in 1813. The book tells a story about love affairs between the heroineElizabeth Ben net and the hero-Fitzwilliam Darcy, and mainly talks about the process of their becoming lovers. Firstly one possesses prejudice, the

18、 other possesses pride; then they both overcome their shortcomings; finally, they achieve their happiness. Social BackgroundTo know what Austen writes pride and prejudice for, we should have a clear mind of the social background. There are many social straits in Austens time and people in each class

19、 have different destinies. In Austens days, there were no centrally organized systems of state-supported education. Of course, women were not allowed to attend the institutionalized rungs on the educational ladder. At that time, Britain was at the period of transition from the earlier stage of capit

20、alism to capitalist Industrialization. In the countryside, the aristocratic family still held great power and right that country squires were likely to fawn upon them. However, as the development of capitalism and the expand of the rank of rich people. The distinction between social strata was becom

21、ing smaller and smaller, while money was getting more and more important in peoples mind about social value, A western literature critic once said that “even David (a British economist) had a unlikely clearer understanding about the function of money in daily life as Jane Austen had”1 It is exactly

22、because of the secure pledge in finance that the country squire society could be existing strongly and solidly. . Womens position in Austens timeAt that time, the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century made womens liberation possible. Mass production needed more hands and machine could be operate

23、d by women who were not physically as strong as men. The lower-class women became wage earners in factories. This was the beginning of their independence. But, women still enjoy a low social status in society, there was no requirement for academic education for women, they have no way to get educati

24、on, and very little opportunity for women to use knowledge. Therefore, marriage is a good way out for women. On the other hand, Property is a very important factor in Jane Austens time. “Only young women with beautiful appearance and food family background can they have lots of opportunities to get

25、a satisfactory marriage.” . Austens literary concernAs a novelist Jane Austen writes within every narrow sphere. The subject matter, the character range, the social setting and plots are all restricted to the provincial life of the late 18th-century England, concerning three or four landed gentry fa

26、milies their daily routine life, relationship with members of their own family and with their friend. Dancing parties, tea parties, picnics, and gossips, in her works, Austen vividly revealed the class relationship, social customs and social morals of her time by meticulously and humorously depictin

27、g the life of the rural gentry at that time. She was the founder of the novel which deals with unimportant middle class people and of which there are many fine examples in later English fiction. She is also sparing of descrying the internal thoughts and emotions of male characters. Austens careful c

28、raftsmanship has enabled her novels to be popular with readers in every generation.IIICharacters of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy Though pride and prejudice, we find that DarcyandElizabeth possess some good qualities. They have their own personal charm. Elizabeth is the protagonist of Pride and prejudice

29、and one of the most well-known female characters in English literature. Elizabethhasmanyvirtues:sheisagirlwith wit,quicknessofobservation, intelligent, vivacious, humorous, lovely, playfuldisposition and she has a strong sense of personality and dignity. She converses as brilliantly as anyone. Her h

30、onesty, virtue, and lively wit enable her to rise above the nonsense and bad behavior that pervade her class-bound and often spiteful society. Mr. Darcy is a wealthy and reserved man, though he often appears haughty or proud to strangers. But he is a good man, a man of integrity, with the somber att

31、ractiveness of a wicked one. Such persons characters will enable them to make idealism and rationalism marriage. Character of Elizabeth Elizabeth is the 2nd daughter of Bennets family and she is also “her fathers favorite daughter who having inherited his wit and intelligence.(London: York Press, 19

32、80) “Elizabeth is much more spirited and independent than a twenty-year-old lady of her period would ordinarily be.” She has perhaps received more admiration than any other heroine in English literature; she is “unique.” She is intelligent, vivacious, humorous, perceptive and quick-witted, and she has a strong sense of personality and dignity. 3.1.1 SensibleAmong the characters appeared in the novel, its no dou
