10、 of the complaint from their mouths about the other. So it is not surprise to see the father become so amazed when Lizzy says that she loves Darcy. But whats the reason? What stopped them from getting together at first? Its pride and prejudice. We all know that at the first ball, when Lizzy asked Mr
11、 Darcy to have a dance. He refused. He didnt think that anyone at the village can deserve him. After this, Lizzy promised not to pay attention to him any more because of his pride. There are other two things that make the impression of the hero worse.One is that she thinks its he that had separated

16、. We can comprehend the essence of Jane,and Bingleys marriage, Elizabeth and Darcys marriage , Lydia and Wickhams marriage and Charlotte and Collinss marriage through Elizabeths views. Through the wise heroine, we see marriage description. To marry for wealth and beauty is wrong. This kind of marria
17、ge cannot retain long-term happiness, and truly happy marriage is based on love and sense. Elizabeth Bennet was a 20-year-old girl, and the protagonist of the story. She is her fathers favourite and inherits his intelligence and wit. She is generally regarded as one of the most enduring and popular
18、female protagonists in English literature.II. The analysis of Elizabeths character Elizabeth Bennet is a person worthy of our imitation. She is a model because she is different from all the other characters, except Darcy, and because she does not adhere rigidly to the standards set forth by society,
19、 she is self-reliant and independent. Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collins proposal because she does not think that marriage was boring, nor does she believe in marriage of convenience. When Mr. Collins says arrogantly to Elizabeth, she politely refused him. Unlike Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth would never vi
20、olate her principle and her integrity and throw away her talents by marrying Mr. Collins, a conceited, narrow-minded, and pompous fool. Elizabeth looks nature because she puts her trust in her own perceptions and impressions. On the other hand, she is not ready to rebel against society. She does not
21、 totally disregard social proprietary. She has good manners; her slight breach of decorum walking alone to Nether field Park is justified by her genuine concern for her sister who is ill. She has good manners. When Lady Catherine criticizes Elizabeth skill of playing piano, she can have good manners
22、 to keep polite. Elizabeth demonstrates that she has great restraint even under tremendous pressure. Elizabeth realizes that she must take responsibility for her own education because she can not look to either of her parents for advice, and she must ultimately depend on her own experiences,instinct
23、s, and judgments. Her self-reliant attitude causes her to think of herself as to be independent, but her views are distorted because she also regards herself as above normal social relationship. Elizabeth is unconscious that she suffers from pride. She does not realize the inherent dangers of her er
24、ror. According to Darcy, Elizabeths defects are her willful tendency to misunderstand others. She embraces stubbornly her own quick perceptions about the people around her as true and accurate. The flaws in her character are revealed by her prejudices. Elizabeths initial prejudices against Darcy are
25、 rooted in the pride of her own quick perception, and her distorted perception of reality. Elizabeth believes that Darcy is bad, so she naturally gives Wickham the benefit of the doubt when he told her about Darcys breach of agreement without hearing Darcys side of the story. Elizabeth is disposed t
26、o think badly of Darcy because of his ungentlemanly behaviour, but she thinks well of Mr. Wickham because his charm, his smoother facade, and his sharper wit endears him to everyone. Her prejudice renders her incapable of judging the merits of Darcy.On the surface, Elizabeth is just ordinary. She is
27、 attractive but not beautiful; she is endowed with certain graces and talents, but not unusually gifted, she is appealing without being exquisite. In the end, she wins everything: the prince, the castle, the happiness, and the esteem. Elizabeth will find happiness because she learns to recognize her
28、 faults, but characters like Lady Catherine and Ms. Bingley will never find happiness because they do not learn from experience. Elizabeth becomes more of a lady than Lady Catherine. Lady Catherines defeat was brought about by her arrogance. Her display of egotism not only fail to dissuade Elizabeth
29、 from marrying Darcy, but led Darcy to propose the second time; Lady Catherines disdainful act makes Darcy realize that Elizabeth still has some feelings for him. On the other hand, Ms. Bingley possesses self-defeating cunning, Jane will also never find enduring happiness. Elizabeths blindness of he

Elizabeth realizes that whenever she discusses Darcys faults, she unconsciously touches upon her own. Elizabeths confession that she was guilty of prejudices based on her own jud
31、gment tells us that she is superior to the other characters, such as Lady Catherine, Ms. Bingley, Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, Lydia, and Wickham, but above all that she is human. She also realizes that people cannot be judged based solely by their appearance, and that character evaluations must also t
32、ake into account the substance behind a persons appearance. Elizabeth becomes a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart. Without neither family wealth nor wisdom to aid her, Elizabeths success is a attribute to her inner strength. Darcy in the beginning is snobbish and proud. III. Elizabeths views about her sisters and friends marriage A.The most realistic marriage Charlottes marriage Charlottes Elizabeths best friend, but they have different choices on marriage.Although Charlotte is a well-educated girl but she doesnt have much pr
