Impression after Reading:

Through describing the different ways in which the Bennet girls doing with their marriage problems and the combination of four for men and women, the writer Jane Austen disclosed mid-class young ladies’ different ideas of marriage and love.

Elizabeth Bennet is the novel’s protagonist. The second daughter of Mr.Bennet, she is the most intelligent and sensible of the five Bennet sisters. She is well read and quick-witted. Darcy, her eventual husband is a proud, prickly noblewoman’s nephew which causes him to look down on his social inferiors. During the realization of

the love between Darcy and Elizabeth, they have met countless smaller obstacles including Lady Catherine’s attempt to control her nephew, Miss Bingley’s snobbery, Mrs.Bennet’s idiocy, and Wickham’s deceit.

Both Elizabeth and Darcy are forced to come to grips with their own initial mistakes. Structurally, the first half of the novel traces Darcy’s progression to the point at which he is able to admit his love in spite of his prejudice. In the second half, Elizabeth’s mistaken impressions are supplanted by informed realizations about Darcy’s real character. Darcy’s two proposals to Elizabeth suggest the mature development of their relationship. He delivers the first at the mid-point of the novel, when he has realized his love for Elizabeth but has not yet escaped his prejudices against her family, and when she is still in the grip of her first, negative impression of him. The second proposal, in which Darcy humbly restates his love for her and Elizabeth, now with full knowledge of Darcy’s good character, happily accepts. Finally, they achieve the abilities to view the other through unprejudiced eyes. Through the courtship between Darcy and Elizabeth, undoubtedly we can draw a conclusion about love and

marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for property, wealth and status. Marriage should be treated carefully because it is not a game you can just enjoy without cautious consideration; Marriage should be based on real love between the lovers. I think Elizabeth has personal ethics which brings her independent idea about love and marriage and therefore she earned a happy life. Love is something independent of these social forces, is something that can be captured if only an individual is able to escape the bad effects of hierarchical society.
