Recently I have been reading a novelcalled Pride and Prejudice, which was written by Jane Austen. Although I haven’tfinished it yet, I still have something to write.
The writer, Jane Austen, was anEnglish woman. She was born in Steventon, Hampshine, where her father was arector. She was the second daughter and the seventh child in a family of eight.The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire. Austin didn’t go toregular schools, but she read many literary works at her parents’ guidance. Shestarted writing about the age of 20, and published six novels. Pride and Prejudice(1813) and Emma (1816) are the best-known books of them. Virginia Woolf calledher “the most perfect artist among women”. Most of her novels were all adaptedinto movies and successful in the world.
For living in a small country town,contacting the medium and small landlords, pastor as well as their quiet andcomfortable living environment, there were no significant social contradictionsin her works. She described a truthful picture of her world, especially themarriage and love between gentlemen and ladies by her meticulous feminineobservation. The style of her works is humorous and rich in comic conflicts, somany readers love them. This type of novels not only at that time attractedbroad readers, today; it still gives the readers unique art enjoyment.
The novel describes love process ofheroine Elizabeth and hero Darcy, her elder sister Jane and Mr.Bingley, youngersister Jane and Mr.Bingley, younger sister Lydia and Mr.Wickham, her goodfriend Charlotte and Mr.Collins.
The marriage between Darcy andElizabeth revealed the characteristics which constituted a successful marriage.One of these characteristics was that the feeling couldn’t be brought on byappearances and must gradually develop between the two people as they got toknow one another.
The marriage between Jane Bennet andBingley was also an example of successful marriage. They had the excellentunderstanding, super-excellent disposition of Jane and a general similarity offeeling and taste between her and her husband. Unlike Darcy and Elizabeth,there was a flaw in their relationship. The flaw was that both characters weretoo gullible and too good-hearted to ever act strongly against external forcesthat may attempt to separate them.
Obviously, Lydia and Wickham’smarriage was an example of a bad marriage. Their marriage was based on appearances,good looks and youthful vivacity. Once these qualities could no longer be seenby each other, the once strong relationship would slowly fade away. Throughtheir relationship, Jane Austen showed that hasty marriage based on superficialqualities quickly cooled and led to unhappiness.
The marriage between Mr.Collins andCharlette was based on economics rather than on love or appearance. It was acommon practice during Austen’s time for woman to marry a husband to saveherself from spinsterhood or to gain financial security. However, Jane Austenviewed this as a type of prostitution and disapproved it.
As far as I am concerned, love is themost beautiful and valuable thing and the basis of marriage. Although materialis important, we shouldn’t give up seeking for the true love. By contrastingElizabeth with Lydia, we know the true love is essential.
Then, I think the behavior is thesymbol of people. If Darcy was polite and warm-hearted in the beginning, maybehe would not have been misunderstood by Elizabeth. Therefore, never bearrogant. It is true that the first impression is important, but we should alsorecognize someone in long time and from all aspects. That requires we arestrong-minded, reasoned and sensible. Be tolerant to anyone, and you will bemore likely gain happiness.
