The impression of Pride and Prejudice

The book《 Pride and Prejudice》 is written by Jane Austen , a famous English writer .

I still remember the first sentence in this

book .It reads :"It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must in need of a wife ." The undertone is very clear : the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession. Love seems to be a perpetual theme all the time .And the main story in the book Pride and Prejudice is not a exception .The writer tells us her views and attitudes about love and marriage in this book.

爱情与婚姻是人类恒久不变的话题，在《傲慢与偏见》里，简·奥斯汀用她理智而诙谐的笔调为我们讲述了五个婚姻故事，阐释了婚姻的真谛：爱情。婚姻应建立在爱情的基础上，而以金钱或者外貌、情欲为目的的婚姻是难以幸福的。而且爱情的建立，必须经过双方深入的了解，抛除虚荣心与偏见，客观的认识对方的品格，只有优秀的品格才能获取爱情。

Love and marriage is a constant topic among human, In Pride And Prejudice, Jane Austen told a story about five marriages for us in her rational and humorous writing tone, which explains the truth of marriage: love. Marriage should be based on love, while it can’t have access to happiness when just based on money or appearance. And a deeper knowledge is needed when we start our affection . Exclude vanity and prejudice, and think about each other's moral character objectively, and we can know someone better and more exact---- only good moral character deserves real love.

偏见是人的劣根性——读《傲慢与偏见》有感

看完《傲慢与偏见》有种意犹未尽的感觉，书中的人物似乎活在我的心里，又似乎都走出来出现在我身边，而他们身上的缺点也逐一在周围人中体现出来。随着书的结尾，书中人物都有个自的结局，但又似乎充满着变数，不管怎么样，对我来说喜欢的依然喜欢，厌恶的依然厌恶。

整本书的故事从班纳特一家说起，最终又以他们一家的生活概况为结局，中间描述了青年男女之间的情感纠葛，并以周围人的言论、态度从侧面折射出了当时的社会形态——即人与人之间无时无刻都存在的偏见，以及官宦世家居上位的傲慢。故事的结局可以说是美好的，但是中间的过程却显得极为坎坷，纵观全文几乎每个人都对其他人有着偏见，而正是因为这一点，使得故事一波三折。

猜疑的人不会有任何损失，而被猜疑的人却要蒙受不白之冤，更不能理解为何自己会受到不平待遇。达西的设定似乎就是这样一个角色，因为从小养成的性格是人感到傲慢，于是一传十十传百，众人纷纷人云亦云，恨不能把他贬低的更多些。却没有一个人愿意去了解这些传言真实性，放下自己的偏见。就连一向嫉恶如仇敢作敢当的伊丽莎白也因达西没邀请她共舞而对达西产生厌恶，并对于流言深以为然。在相当长的一段时间里，伊丽莎白怀着偏见与达西交流。怀着一颗恶意的心与人交流，自然难以取得什么好的结果。同样的，因为达西对吉英的偏见，使他帮助彬格莱做出错误的决定，以致在长达一年的时间里，吉英与彬格莱的爱情处于几近夭折的状态。就我个人而言，我一向认为自己还算是个公道的人，看到书中的有些描写不禁觉得有些夸张，但那当我看完全书再细想时发现，自己不止一次的对达西产生了猜忌和厌恶，可当发现自己的错误时，也只是对达西的误解稍有惋惜，并未有何自责。

This book is a great masterpiece of Jane Austen, a famous British writer, the theme of which is the choice people make for marriage partners, so is in Pride and Prejudice.

it is official: now everyone on the planet has read this book. i was the last holdout, and being the last person (excluding those who are just being born...... now) i am sorry i didnt like it more. i knew going into it that i was not a jane austen girl; i had read two others and thought them bloodless and mercantile. but everyone said to me, "well, you havent read pride and prejudice is why you dont like her." which i thought might be valid. but its not. because i still dont care. this is not the greatest love story of all time. its more like the most amiable alliance of compatible feelings that ends up in a mutually agreeable union and merging of fortunes and temperaments. i mean, really. this book needs heathcliff to come barrelling in on a stallion all wet from the moors to ravish all five of these daughters and show them what a real man is all about. now theres a love story...

The Appreciation of Pride and Prejudice

--------misunderstanding and love

Last term,I read the book Pride and Prejudice in short English version. At first glance,I thought that the novel just talked about the love between Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy.And Elizabeth and his sister Jane both marry the people they love finally.But after watching the the movie and reading the book in Chinese version, I have some different opinions and have a deep understanding about this novel.

What impressed me most is that Elizabeth’s attitude towards Mr Darcy. Why does Elizabeth from hate to love to him?In the novel, as we all know, Mr Darcy is discovered to be proud ,to be above his company and above being pleased①. The behaviors that Mr Darcy danced only with two ladies that he knew and declined being introduced to any other lady is what made Elizabeth most violent against him.What’more,at the party, Mr Darcy talked to Mr Bingley that Elizabeth is tolerable,but not handsome enough to tempt him②. But unforunately,Elizabeth is near enough to overhear the conversation. This is the first time that Elizabeth has prejudice against Mr Darcy. When Miss Lucas said that one cannot wonder that so very fine a young man,with family,fortune, everything in his favour, should think highly of himself③.He has a right to be proud, Elizabeth show her agreement but she dislikes that Mr Darcy mortified her. The point is that these word that Mr Darcy said in the ball actuclly hurt Elizabeth..It is because the first misunderstanding that Elizabeth refuse to dance with Mr Darcy.When Elizabeth meet Mr Wickham,she has an unreasonable admiration.After hearing the story about Mr Wickham ,Mr Darcy and the Old Darcy,Elizabeth said I had supposed him to be despising his fellow creatures in general,but did not suspect him of descending to such malicious revenge,such injustice,such inhumanity as this.His disposition must be dreadful④. Apparently, Elizabeth had a deeper misunderstanding to Mr Darcy. She thought he was just a selfish,jealous man and worse than that she had thought before.This was the second misunderstanding.The third misunderstanding is that Elizabeth thought Mr Darcy broke up his sister and Mr Bingely who loved each other deeply when she knew that Mr Darcy persuaded congratulated himself on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most imprudent marriage.It is Mr Darcy acts in a proud way that deepen the misunderstanding between him and Elizabeth.

Jane Austen is an English famous writer. Her compositions focus on country females’ marriage and their life. She describes her apperceive to the world with her own special perspective and humor words. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote this novel, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively.

6.0 stars. Confession...this book gave me an earth-shattering Janeaustegasm and I am feeling a bit spent and vulnerable at the moment, so please bear with me. You see, I decided I wanted to get more literated by reading the "classicals" in between my steady flow of science fiction, mystery and horror. The question was where to begin.

After sherlocking through my Easton Press collection, I started by pulling out my Dickens

feeling warm, satisfied and content. It also made me made retrospectively pleased that I named my youngest daughter Sydney.
