Sentiment after Reading 《Pride and Prejudice》

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” If a book starts like this, we may think it will be a comedy and a happy love story.As we all know, ordinary pregnant with greatness.So Jane Austen expressed the philosophy through love that is a common thing.Her novels all described the lifestyle and social communications of families in the countries of England as what she is familiar with.The book Pride and Prejudice is the typical one which was full of Jane’s views on marriage and emphasized that the benefit on economic exerts a great influence on marriage.The conversations of ladies with ladies, or of ladies and gentlemen together, but no instance occurs of a scene in which men only are present.The uniform quality of her work is one most remarkable point to be observed in it.Here is the main idea of the book.Mrs.Bonnet had no other wish except that her five daughters could get married as soon as possible with someone who was rich.At a dancing party, it is obvious that Mr.Bingley could not help falling in love with Jane because of her beauty.Mrs.Bennet was so excited that she could not hold her manners and declared to the public that she would have a daughter married soon which frightened Mr.Bingley and made him went away.It was difficult for Mrs.Bennet to recover herself until she got the news that Lydia finally married Mr.Wickham, though the marriage was built on the basis of ten thousand pounds.Mr.Darcy offered the money and did everything departing from his will just because he loved Elizabeth so much.He could not hide his feelings any more and showed his affection to Elizabeth at last.With a series of misunderstandings towards him, Elizabeth rejected him without hesitation.This plot is the climax of the novel as the prejudice of Elizabeth to Mr.Darcy was exposed and removed since then.And the combination of the two young couples, Jane and Bingley, Elizabeth and Darcy came at last.The book contains many views, all of which have either been truncated or eliminated for this version.The relationship between Mr.Bingley and Jane Bennet remains, but in a condensed form, it is necessary to the fabric of the central love story.Also suffering greatly is the character of Wickham, who appears in only two scenes.The impact of Wickham's character is more important than his presence.Most of the rest of Pride and Prejudice is left intact, and much of Austen's dialogue is retained.Wright and Moggach add an epilogue that may annoy Austen purists-it's not from the book, but it's in keeping with Austen's style and represents a good way to conclude the film.At first sight, the main idea was the love between Elizabeth and Darcy.However, if you read the while book carefully, you will find there is no trace of the enthusiasm of love.Jane Austen made mind to explain love and tell us the marriage rather than love.The background made many different love points of views.At that time, people thought wealth is the most important thing and people are conservative.They thought aristocrats and civilians couldn’t get together.Pride and Prejudice are the two common shortcomings of the man.However, if we get into blindness, lose justness and mind we will get in trouble.So, Elizabeth and Darcy are the examples.Of course, when birth, wealthy, station and breeding are related to genteel, people will become pride and look down upon poor people.But the poor people who have a strong proper pride will show prejudice to defend against the pride.The characters in the novel all had their own opinions on marriage.Mrs.Bennet, for exampke, has only one aim-that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters.As for Elizabeth, who is the second daughter in the Bennet family said that only deep love would persuade her to marry which was why she would probably end up an old maid.Lydia

and Charlotte, however, were two extremes.The former just married for sex, while the latter married for a comfortable home and protection.Though everyone can judge in the way he likes, he can't ignore other ones.You can like what you like and hate what you hate, but you should be objective when you meet external world.I think it means that you should consider things roundly, not just partial.Individuality is different from prejudice.What is it? I need to think more.In my opinion, it is true that the events are for the most part those of daily life, and the feelings are those connected with the usual joys;but these are the very events and feelings upon which the happiness or misery of most of us depends;and the field which embraces them, to the exclusion of the wonderful, the sentimental, and the historical, is surely large enough, as it certainly admits of the most profitable cultivation.In the end, too, the novel of daily real life is that of which we are least apt to weary: a round of fancy balls would tire the most vigorous admirers of variety in costume, and the return to plain clothes would be hailed with greater delight than their occasional relinquishment ever gives.As we should expect from such a life, Jane Austen's view of the world is genial, kindly, and, we repeat, free from anything like teeth.It is that of a clear-sighted and somewhat satirical onlooker, loving what deserves love, and amusing herself with the foibles, the self-deceptions, the affectations of humanity.Maybe pride and prejudice was full of the funny words which were said by Elisabeth, but there were endless worries, discontentment and pities hided under the forced laughter.Maybe more discontentments will become numb, but behind enviable and approbatory happiness what will be put there.There maybe Money, numb, tears, pity and so on.But the only changeless thing is love, the precious love.英语10甲

Some Thoughts of Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice, in my memory, is the first foreign novel I have seen.It leads me to read more foreign works, broaden my vision, deepen my recognition and lets me have a new

understanding of love and marriage.Jane Austin, the “Most Perfect Female Artist”, the author of the Pride and Prejudice, with her female's unique meticulous observation,represented a truthful picture of their little world around themselves, especially the marriage and the love storm between the gentleman and the lady.The style of her work is easy,humorous, and imbued with comic conflict.Thus, her works are popular with readers all around the world.Pride and Prejudice is a classic one of those.“Pride and Prejudice” is one of the most famous masterpieces written by Jane Austin, which was first published in January 1813.Jan Fergus calls it “her most popular novel, both with the public and with her family and friends”.It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature.In 2003, the BBC conducted the largest ever poll for the “UK's Best-Loved Book” in which Pride and Prejudice came second, behind The Lord of the Rings.What’s more, looking at Jane Austin’s novels, we find that irony is the key stone which supports her art building.In Pride and Prejudice, I think, irony is one of the most fascinating characteristics appealing to readers.Meanwhile, in the history of English literature, it was the one which comprehensively discussed the situation and problems of the women status, claiming that women independent personality, equal right, and putting up that the female consciousness and thoughts is progressing with the developmentof the society for the first time.The great work not only attracted a large number of readers at that time, but also has a great many fans now because it providesthe readers with unique artistic taste of relaxation and comedy by using the irony and her witty humor, and retains a fascination for modern readers, though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century.In my opinion, the plot of the novel is driven by the particular situation of the Bennet family that Mr and Mrs Bennet have no sons and have only five daughters, which worries Mrs Bennet that she and her daughters have to leave home and have no income if Mr Bennet dies accidently.The character in this work impresses me deeply is its female leading role, Elizabeth Bennet, later Elizabeth Darcy.Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of her father, a country gentleman, living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.She is intelligent, lively, attractive, and witty.Her bravery and intelligence leads her to dare to challenge the secular, dare to pursue her love, and dare to refuse the person who offends her although that person is so good.As we all know that nobody is perfect, Eliza has a tendency to judge someone on first impression and perhaps would be a little selective of the evidence upon which she bases her judgments.The sentences I like most are “Marriage should not be driven by thoughts of money” and “Only deep love will persuade me to marry”, a dialogue between her sister Jane and Elizabeth.I think it is not only her vision of love, but also the author’s.Moreover, Jane portrays four different types of love and marriage with a witty and humorous language in the work.Among them, the marriage between Elizabeth the hostess and Darcy the host is the most successful one.It’s also the perfect pattern of love and marriage that Jane Austen had dreamed of in her entire life.In her eyes, according to what I understand, a happy marriage should be combined with material, morality, sense and sensibility.All of them constitute perfect love and marriage.This perspective until today has high value.Synchronizing with the development of society, more and more love is just established in money and lust, not the pure love.This book shows the author Jane Austin’s pure mind.Here, I sincerely recommend you to read this book.The book is really giving us a baptism of the soul and lets us catch a glimpse of the real and pure love and marriage.

Impressions of Pride and Prejudice

I’ve read a book called Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen during this semester.Jane Austen was unmarried all her life.She was born in a mid-class family and was brought up in a comfortable environment with harmonious surroundings, so there’s not too many conflicts in her sight neither in her novel.In Pride and Prejudice she talked different ideas about love and marriage through different characters.The novel has told an interesting story: Mr.Bennet is an English gentleman with an estate in Hertfordshire.He has five unmarried daughters but no sons while his inheritance must be inherited by a male, so Mrs.Bennet has been keen to seek husband for her daughters with great enthusiasm.One day the Bennets had a new neighbor called Bingley who was a wealthy bachelor and followed be the target of Mrs.Bennet.At a ball Bingley fell in love with Jane Bennet who’s the oldest daughter of the Bennets.Bingley’s friend Darcy also came to the ball and struck the sights, many girls liked him while he thought all of them couldn’t suit his preference, including Elizabeth.Mr.Darcy always shows others a impression

of pride, having found this Elizabeth began to hate Mr.Darcy.Before long Darcy fell in love with Elizabeth Bennett(second oldest daughter in the Bennets)because of her lovely behavior, while Elizabeth is disgusted by his pride and has a prejudice about him.The official Wickham was welcomed by the villagers, and Elizabeth also took a shine to him.Wickham told Elizabeth that his father had been the steward of the Darcys.The old Darcy had regarded Wickham as his own son and showed more love to him than to Mr.Darcy.After the old Darcy died, the property should be inherited by Wickham was all deprived by Mr.Darcy, also was his pastorate.All this increased Eli’s prejudice about Mr.Darcy.At another ball Mr.Darcy invited Elizabeth to dance with him, but Eli refused him.Eli’s elder male cousin Mr.Collin came to Hertfordshire to inherit the Bennett's property by rules, he wanted to marry with one of the Bennets.Having known that Jane was already engaged with Mr.Bingley, he asked Elizabeth to marry him but was seriously rejected.At last he proposed to Charllote who was Eli’s friend.Mr.Collins was good at flattering and he got the pastorate with the help of Lady Catherine.Once his

family was invited to Rosings Garden by Lady Catherine.Elizabeth also went there with Mr.Collin and Charllote.There she met Mr.Darcy who’s Lady Catherine’s nephew.Later in a garden, Sir William told Eli about Mr.Darcy’s latest act of dissuading Mr.Bingley’s marring Jane Bennet which caused Eli’s exceedingly anger.Then Mr.Darcy came to the Collins’ and confessed his love for Elizabeth, of course he was rejected impolitely.Afterwards Mr.Darcy wrote a letter to Eli in order to remove her misunderstandings of him.Elizabeth’s uncle and aunt were also impressed by Mr.Darcy’s politeness.Gradually Eli’s prejudice of Mr.Darcy diappeared.Eventually they became couple.The writer Jane Austen disclosed mid-class young ladies’ different ideas of marriage and love through describing the different ways in which the Bennet girls doing with their marriage problems ,and this undoubtedly shows the writer’s idea about love and marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for property, wealth and status while neither would it be without caring about those elements.Jane Austen just attached great significance to marriage through her novel by telling people that marriage should

be regarded carefully cause it is not a game you could just enjoy without prudent consideration.She also wanted to deliver information that marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.The female subject Elizabeth is a mid-class girl, and Darcy proposed to her regardless of the gap between them, but Elizabeth refused because of his pride had formed Eli’s prejudice.Cause Darcy’s pride was a suggest of status gap between he and Eli, he wouldn’t have the same thought with Eli and consequently the ideal marriage.But later Darcy’s doings especially his change of the prideful manner eliminated Eli’s misunderstandings and prejudice about him, and Eli accepted his proposal.Those two opposite attitudes reflect female’s pursue of independent personality and equality.I think Elizabeth has personality ethic which caused her independent idea about love and marriage and in consequence she earned a happy life.There’re also Eli’s sisters’ love stories served as contrasts to the female subject’s ideal marriage, such as Charlotte and Collin’s life: they do had a luxury life, but there’s noreal love between them and this kind of marriage is surely a tragedy of society.

The Most Beautiful Love

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this movie is an illustration of the society at that time.She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities.Mrs.Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters.Mr.Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr.Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior.Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different.Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others.Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion.Mary likes reading classic books.(Actually she is a pedant.)Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia.Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate.When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now.That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic.But this little topic can reflect big problems.It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century.You can find these from the very beginning of this book.The first sentence in this book is impressive.It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”.The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.Pride and Prejudice was an absolutely fantastic film.A great cast, and Keira Knightly did an excellent job and Matthew Macfadyen was a wonderful in the role of Mr Darcy.The cinematography was so ridiculously good, there were some fantastic shots and the costumes were also fantastic.The script was fairly good, it is true to the classic by Jane Austen, Mr Wickam could have made more of an appearance, and had a striking resemblance to one Orlando Bloom.The movie moved fairly fast but trying to fit such a novel into two hours had to be hard anyway, so I say well done to all involved, as such a beloved book can be a hard project to take on, but after watching it I really can't wait until to see it again！!

第五篇：《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感

The abbreviation of the novel.This is a story happening in a Bennet.Mr.Bennet, a countryside gentleman in England, had no sons but five girls.According to the law, the girls in Bennet’s could not inherit their father’s fortune but could only get 5,000 pounds as dowry and the possession was to be inherited by Mr.Bennet’s nephew, Collins,square-toes and good at flattering flattery.So, how to help them marry a rich gentleman was the top agenda to Mrs.Bennet.And when Collins wanted to propose one of the girls in Bennet’ and he chose Elizabeth,for the eldest but most beautiful girl, Jane, was not available.Elizabeth refused him and he proposed her close friend, Charlotte.Although Charlotte did not like Collins, she married him for she was already 27.As for Jane,she met a handsome young man with a plenty of money named Mr.Bingley.They felt in love at first sight at a ball.Mr.Bingley showed great passion on Jane, while Jane did not though she did love him.Mr.Darcy, a very good friend of Mr.Bingley, was also a wealthy and attracted young man.At that ball,at first Mr.Darcy was very pride and prejudice to Elizabeth,but after dancing with her ,he felt in love with her.But Elizabeth did not like him because of his air.And Elizabeth treated Mr.Darcy worse because he persuaded Mr.Bingley to give up her sister, Jane.So at the first time when Mr.Darcy proposed, she refused.Lydia, Elizabeth another sister, was too young and innocent to tell a delusion and ran away with a young and handsome military officer,Wickham, who actually was a gambling addicts and had a numerous debt.When Mr.Darcy paid Wickham a lot of money to get Lydia a complete marriage, and managed to make Jane and Mr.Bingley get together, Elizabeth did not misunderstand him anymore and accepted his second proposal.Appreciation

‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.’ The first sentence in the novel and sets the ground and tone for the novel.During that time some people were timeservers and flatters ,hypocritical and stupid, like Mr.s Bennet, while some were smart and independent, like Elizabeth.And this conflict makes the whole story full of humorousness and irony, and the readers think more beyond the lines, making the author outstanding at her age.Apart from that, Jane Austin’s concept of marriage, which we can refer from the lines, is totally different from the convention and has been attracted by the readers over the years.I think, there are two points in her new concept.The first one is that a marriage does need a monetary foundation but more importantly should be built on true love and self esteem.At that time a woman was supposed to marry a rich man although she did not like that man.So that’s why Mrs.Bennet asked Elizabeth to marry Collins.But Elizabeth refused for she did not like him.However, her friend Charlotte chose to married him because

Charlotte was too old to care about too much although Charlotte was also an acknowledged lady and could not regardless the convention.Therefore,in the author’s eyes, their marriage would not last for long because it was not built on love.So, the marriage, like Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy’s, should be encouraged, and we should be negative about marriage, only built on money, like Collins and Charlotte’s, Lydia and Wickham’s.The second is that women and men should be equal.From Elizabeth turning down Collins and Mr.Darcy,we can see that, in author’s mind, a marriage should not be decided by the man but both ,and women are not the accessories of men’s but should be independent, having their own feelings, voice and decisions.And this can reflect some ideas about Jane Austin’s feminism, which also has made her distinguish for years.I think this is also suitable for today.Women,having more power than ever, should be more independent not only in marriage but also in the society.
