《傲慢与偏见》作品赏析

【摘要】《傲慢与偏见》是奥斯丁的代表作。这部作品以日常生活为素材，一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法，生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。这部社会风情画式的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者，时至今日，仍给读者以独特的艺术享受。

一、内容赏析

奥斯丁在这部小说中通过班纳特五个女儿对待终身大事的不同处理，表现出乡镇中产阶级家庭出身的少女对婚姻爱情问题的不同态度，从而反映了作者本人的婚姻观：为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的；而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。因此，她既反对为金钱而结婚，也反对把婚姻当儿戏。她强调理想婚姻的重要性，并把男女双方感情作为缔结理想婚姻的基石。

书中的女主人公伊丽莎白出身于小地主家庭，为富豪子弟达西所热爱。达西不顾门第和财富的差距，向她求婚，却遭到拒绝。伊丽莎白对他的误会和偏见是一个原因，但主要的是她讨厌他的傲慢。因为达西的这种傲慢实际上是地位差异的反映，只要存在这种傲慢，他与伊丽莎白之间就不可能有共同的思想感情，也不可能有理想的婚姻。以后伊丽莎白亲眼观察了达西的为人处世和一系列所作所为，特别是看到他改变了过去那种骄傲自负的神态，消除了对他的误会和偏见，从而与他缔结了美满姻缘。伊丽莎白对达西先后几次求婚的不同态度，实际上反映了女性对人格独立和平等权利的追求。这是伊丽莎白这一人物形象的进步意义。

从小说看，伊丽莎白聪敏机智，有胆识，有远见，有很强的自尊心，并善于思考问题。就当时一个待字闺中的小姐来讲，这是难能可贵的。正是由于这种品质，才使她在爱情问题上有独立的主见，并导致她与达西组成美满的家庭。

在《傲慢与偏见》中，奥斯丁还写了伊丽莎白的几个姐妹和女友的婚事，这些都是陪衬，用来与女主人公理想的婚姻相对照。如夏绿蒂和柯林斯尽管婚后过着舒适的物质生活，但他们之间没有爱情，这种婚姻实际上是掩盖在华丽外衣下的社会悲剧。

然而就在重重误解、心机、成见与持续华丽表面生活的遮掩下，挡不住的爱情仍如结晶的璞玉一般，终究不能不脱颖而出，傲慢与偏见的人性两貌，在种种环环相扣的冲突中清晰的突出，作者以她圆润、敏锐、幽默而细致的笔触，十足荡气回肠的描绘这一群人的恩怨爱恨。

《傲慢与偏见》虽是一出闪烁著斗智意味的爱情轻喜剧，实则说明了人必须行动和自省才有希望，人的尊严绝不是与生俱来的，而是从行动和自省中淬炼获得，透过理性的行动，把人类的王国建立得具有一个心灵价值的模式，以与物质俗世有别。大体上，人的生存没有意义，但从小体上看，人本身的行动却深具意义，即使只是儿女私情的往来。

二、取材赏析

和奥斯汀的其他几部小说一样，《傲慢与偏见》的取材事实上是相当狭窄的。

正如夏洛蒂•勃朗特曾说：“我可不愿意在她们的那些高雅而狭窄的房子里跟她（奥斯汀）的那些绅士淑女们呆在一起。”在我看来，奥斯汀的小说有点像小女子文学，缺少一种大气的感觉。但我却喜欢这种“小女子文学”。你可以说她目光狭窄，也可以说她缺乏深度，你却无法抵挡她的魅力。

事实上，取材范围的狭窄，并没有限制作者的视野，正如《傲慢与偏见》中达西和伊丽莎白的一段对话。达西说：“在乡下，你四周的环境非常闭塞，很少变化。”而伊丽莎白却回答到：“可是人本身变化那么多，你永远可以在他们身上看出新的东西。”这也许正代表了作者自己的看法吧。奥斯汀自己说“乡间村庄里的三、四户人家”是她“得心应手的好材料”，还把自己的艺术比作在“二寸象牙”上“细细地描画”。在我看来这正是作者的长处，也是其小说独到的地方。精工细致，一丝不苟，娓娓道来，细水长流，这就是我所喜欢的“小女子文学”的特点。无怪乎有人建议奥斯汀换一种写作方式的时候，奥斯汀拒绝道：“我必须保持自己的风格，按自己的方式写下去。”忽然联想到台湾作家三毛的文章，其最受欢迎的几本散文集如《撒哈拉的故事》《稻草人手记》等，无非也是写一些生活琐事，取材也不见得有多广泛多深刻，却如此受亲睐，大概也源于此吧。反映生活的作品即是美的作品，《傲慢与偏见》带给我们的是一种英国乡村浓郁的生活气息，让人倍感亲切自然。对大多数人来说，只有平平淡淡从从容容才是真。好的文学作品总是反应永恒的人性，普通人的心态，在读者中产生共鸣。评论家们始终把奥斯汀排在勃朗特之前，其地位仅次于莎士比亚，就在于她的平淡、安宁。更何况有道是于平凡之中见伟大，于细微之处见深情，取材虽小，反映的问题却不一定小。这一点下面将谈及。

尽管题材比较狭窄，故事相当平淡，但是她善于在日常平凡事物中塑造鲜明的人物形象，不论是伊丽莎白、达西那种作者认为值得肯定的人物，还是魏克翰、柯林斯这类遭到讽刺挖苦的对象，都写得真实动人。同时，奥斯丁的语言是经过锤炼的，她在对话艺术上讲究幽默、讽刺，常以风趣诙谐的语言来烘托人物的性格特征。这种艺术创新使她的作品具有自己的特色。

三、人物形象塑造

谈到《傲慢与偏见》里的任务形象，就不能不谈到它诙谐风趣的语言。奥斯丁的语言是经过锤炼的，她在对话艺术上讲究幽默、讽刺，这种艺术创新使她的作品具有自己的特色，而这种富有特色的语言在《傲慢与偏见》中发挥得尤为淋漓尽致。比如在写班纳特太太时，作者就这样写到：“只要碰到不称心的事，她就自以为神经衰弱。”又在班纳特太太与其丈夫的对话中写到：“我的好老爷，你怎么舍得这样糟蹋自己的亲生女儿？你是在故意叫我气恼，好让你自己得意吧。你半点也不体谅我的神经衰弱。”“你真错怪了我，我的好太太。我非常尊重你的神经。它们是我的老朋友。至少在最近二十年以来，我一直听到你郑重其事地提到它们。”多么活灵活现的语言，绝妙的嘲讽与诙谐，立刻使两个不同的人物形象在读者脑海中变得立体而清晰。再如另一个片段的描写：咖苔琳夫人的马车路过门口，柯林斯牧师全家手忙脚乱出去迎接，伊丽莎白却说：“就是这么回事吗？我还以为是猪猡闯进了花园呢。”直率的挖苦，戳穿了咖苔琳夫人自己吹起来的唬人架势，也使伊丽莎白这个蔑视权贵的形象在人们脑海中留下了更深的印象，越发觉得她的可爱。

此外，奥斯汀还善于通过最普通的语言让人物自己暴露自己。例如小说开头时，班纳特太太曾说郎格太太“是个自私自利、假仁假义的女人，我瞧不起她。”

而到故事的结尾，当其大女儿与彬格莱的婚事已成定局时，她又说“我觉得郎格太太这个人真是太好了。”这两段截然相反的话，让读者不禁哑然失笑的同时，又多么生动地表现出班纳特太太的反复无常、自我中心。这样的例子在书中还有很多。一个曾充满偏见的伊丽莎白、一个曾浑身傲慢的达西、一对有趣的班纳特夫妇、一个可笑的柯林斯、众多出场人物、再加上喜剧效果和特殊写作技巧，这就是《傲慢与偏见》，却不是它的全部。奥斯汀的幽默是需要反复咀嚼的，并不是一看就能逗得你哈哈大笑的书，你最多只能会心的微笑。

奥斯汀素来擅长于描写人物，正如《傲慢与偏见》这本书中几乎每一个人物都给我留下了深刻的印象。《傲慢与偏见》中所涉及的人物虽不多也并不算少，要把所有这些人物描写得各具风格个性，突兀于纸上，是相当难能可贵的。打开这本书，这些被刻画得栩栩如生的立体人物好像可以从书中向我们走来：温柔美丽、心地善良的吉英，机智聪明、生气勃勃、有胆识、有远见的伊丽莎白，相貌平平，性好虚荣的玛丽，幼稚轻浮、娇纵放肆、卖弄风情的吉蒂与丽迪雅，愚蠢粗俗、趋炎附势的柯林斯，甚至那些不那么重要的人物也描写得惟妙惟肖。如书中写伊丽莎白等人到咖苔琳夫人府上作客这个场景：“威廉爵士虽说当年也曾进宫觐见过皇上，可是看到四周围这般的富贵气派，也不禁完全给吓住了，只得弯腰一躬，一声不响，坐了下来；再说他的女儿，简直吓得丧魂失魄一般，兀自坐在椅子边上，眼睛也不知往哪里看才好。伊丽莎白倒是完全安然自若，而且从容不迫地细细瞧着那三位女主人。”似乎随手一写却那么生动细致的刻画，使我们好像也是当时的客人，身临其景地看到他们，甚至他们的内心世界。总之，在日常平凡事物中塑造鲜明了人物形象，不论是伊丽莎白、达西那种值得肯定的人物，还是魏克翰、柯林斯这类遭到讽刺挖苦的对象，都写得真实动人。同时，语言幽默、讽刺，常以风趣诙谐的语言来烘托人物的性格特征。

四、透过主题看实质

爱情是小说永恒的主题，《傲慢与偏见》以爱情和婚姻为主要内容，自然是吸引读者的。但描写爱情的小说不计其数，要像《傲慢与偏见》这样在世界文学中占有一席之地，也并不是一件容易的事。《傲慢与偏见》之所以称得上世界文学名著而不流俗于一般爱情小说，自有它的魅力所在。那么到底是什么使它脱颖而出呢？一部好的小说，内容、情节是非常重要的。《傲慢与偏见》的内容并不复杂，情节却引人入胜。读过本书的读者应该对小说开篇的一句话记忆犹新：“凡是有财产的单身汉，必定需要娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。”这简简单单的一句话却深深反映出资产阶级婚姻的实质无非是金钱交易与利益的结合，可见作者的目光之透彻犀利，也正应证了前面所说的细微之处却能反映大问题。

小说开篇就这样牢牢抓住了读者，接着通过班纳特夫妇风趣的对话，把读者带进一个女儿多得发愁的中产阶级家庭中。这个家庭家道已经中落，却还有5个待嫁的女儿，而且不幸班纳特先生又没有儿子，其财产将由表亲柯林斯继承。在资产阶级社会，如果女孩没有丰厚的嫁妆，就是再有才貌，也难找到体面的丈夫，就像书中达西所说：“她们倘使想嫁给有地位的男人，机会可就大大减少了。”所以处在婚姻要权衡双方阶级地位和金钱利害的情况下，这五位姑娘的出嫁前景确实不太美妙。

小说采用古典的现实主义笔法，描写了四对青年男女的结合，通过班纳特五个女儿对待终身大事的不同处理，表现出乡镇中产阶级家庭出身的少女对婚姻爱

情问题的不同态度，也借此表达了作者本人的婚姻观，即为财产打算的婚姻是没有幸福的，结婚不考虑财产是愚蠢的，讲究门第的包办婚姻不堪忍受，把婚姻当儿戏毫不足取，理想的婚姻要以感情为基础。书中的女主人公伊丽莎白与达西不顾门第和财富的差距，真心相爱，美满结合，是作者所颂扬的幸福婚姻。从伊丽莎白的身上，我们可以看到女性对人格独立和平等权利的追求；作者虽然没有反映出她那个时代的阶级矛盾和阶级斗争，然而她的强烈的阶级意识却表现了出来，对经济、财产决定婚姻关系乃至生活命运的揭露也可谓入木三分。西方有位马克思主义批评家大卫•戴克斯曾半开玩笑的说，在“揭露人类行为的经济原因”方面，奥斯汀“从某种意义上可以说在马克思以前就是马克思主义者了。”

五、总结

《傲慢与偏见》创作于十九世纪上半叶，距离今天已经将近二百年。可以说，二百年的变迁中女性的社会地位已经得到了很大的提高。如今的女性不再是依附于男性而生存的悲惨角色。女性不仅可以拥有继承父母财产的权利还拥有取得社会职位甚至作为国家领导人的权利。奥斯汀生活的年代“英国社会正从一个资本主义前期进入资本主工业化的过渡时期，在一个资产阶级新兴力量还远未发达起来而仍然在封建旧势力严控之下的英国农村地区，我们可以想见，妇女的地位是多么的低下。男性作为主体对作为客体的女性具有绝对的统治权，男女根本不平等。”但是奥斯汀在那时已经具备了很多女性的进步意识，拥有了自我意识和抗争精神，可以说已经是非常先进了。而伊丽莎白身上依然有着现代女性可以学习的诸多优良品质，她的聪慧更是女性立足所必须的品质。如果我们假设伊丽莎白是现代女性，我相信她可以成为非常优秀的职场女性，而不仅仅只是一个家庭主妇。时代的悲哀正在于此。

尽管这本著作诞生的年代早已离我们远去，但在作者珍‧奥斯汀的笔下，我们可以感觉到有种身在其境的感觉，同时有种非要一次把整本书看完的欲望。有人认为，文学作品严格来说是不能翻译的，因为这些文字组成的完美，一旦经过他人的更改，所有原创性的精华必定只剩轮廓，其实各国文化天生差异的可爱之处亦正式在此，因为要人人精通各国文字几乎是不可能的事，“翻译”于是成了文化中的文化，它使得文学本身除了土壤性，更具备了共通性，甚至突破时空的隔阂，拉近历史与地理的先天距离，而人与人之间的关系更加亲密，而《傲慢与偏见》正是透过翻译才能让我们得以阅读这样的一本的好书。

Analysis of Robinson Crusoe

2009级师范三班刘静 Robinson Crusoe is written by Defoe(1660 ~ 1731), known as the father of English novel and the periodical literature.He is the father of the English novel and periodical literature, who was born in a family which was against the Anglican Protestant.His father is a businessman, doing business.His article influenced the later development of journal articles and newspaper.Because the speech, he was repeatedly arrested.At the age of 59 Defoe began writing fiction as a novelist, show remarkable ability.Robinson Crusoe Robinson is Defoe's first novel, is also one of the most famous novels.It is based on a British seaman on a deserted island alone for 4 years in exile records and creation.Robinson is the heroine of Defoe works in accordance with their ideals and created the character, he killed out of doing business, living on a desert island for 28 years, overcome all sorts of unimaginable difficulties.He start empty-handed, develop the island, not only to their own survival, and create a new world.He was a pioneer in the image, a real asset class hero.In this figure embodies the western ocean civilization tradition, with the outward development of curiosity, desire to conquer and spirit of adventure, praised the strength quality and working spirit.The novel opens English realistic novel road.In this novel, there are so many about the Wonderful part, but two points impress: one is the author of the narrative language easy to understand.In front of the book, the author use a lot of space to introduce Robinson in the sea to sea before, whether does not listen to parents' guide, but follow the guidance of the soul, the careful psychological description, the author description most incisive.Two is a fascinating story, the protagonist of nearly thirty years of life vividly in front of us, let our eyes as if emerging from a young life.Robinson Crusoe is to let a person look after all that the most primitive, most of my books, not only because it is the wonderful, and it gives us the modern enlightenment.The most qualities I learn from Robinson Crusoe is not his hard-working and brave, but his amazing mental capacity.One can imagine, a single large living alone on a desert island life ten years, no one to accompany him, even the most basic, and a person simply talk for a while to do.The deserted island there is no house, no rice, can only rely on his own hard to create a piece of heaven and earth.The first nonwhite character to be given a realistic, individualized, and humane portrayal in the English novel, Friday has a huge literary and cultural importance.Recent rewritings of the Crusoe story, like J.M.Coetzee’s Foe and Michel Tournier’s Friday, emphasize the sad consequences of Crusoe’s

failure to understand Friday and suggest how the tale might be told very differently from the native’s perspective.Besides his importance to our culture, Friday is a key figure within the context of the novel.Friday’s sincere questions to Crusoe about the devil, which Crusoe answers only

indirectly and hesitantly, leave us wondering whether Crusoe’s knowledge of Christianity is superficial and sketchy in contrast to Friday’s full

understanding of his own god Benamuckee.In short, Friday’s exuberance and emotional directness often point out the wooden conventionality of Crusoe’s personality.Despite Friday’s subjugation, however, Crusoe appreciates Friday much more than he would a mere servant.Crusoe does not seem to value intimacy with humans much, but he does say that he loves Friday, which is a

remarkable disclosure.Crusoe may bring Friday Christianity and clothing, but Friday brings Crusoe emotional warmth and a vitality of spirit that Crusoe’s own European heart lacks.This novel shows that we need to believe ourselves, where there is a will, there is way.Use our hands, then see a new world.What is more, we are not only live ourselves in the world, we need to care about others.Be brave, and

never lose hope.

II.Morte d' Arthur《亚瑟王之死》

III.Questions for Discussion

.SIR THOMAS MALORY(1405-1471)

Life: He was very rich because he inherited a

considerable estate in Warwickshire(a county in west

central England)upon his father's death in 1433 and he

seems to have quickly become drawn into the turmoil of

local politics.In 1445, he became a Member of

Parliament for his county: a rather unstable area during

this time because the usually powerful Earl of Warwick,was only in his mid-teens.A lot of political affairs in Warwickshire led Sir

Thomas into his numerous clashes with the law.From

1444 onwards, he was caught up in raids(袭击)on the

attacks on the Duke of Buckingham and Combe Abbey

大修道院,大寺院 , as well as a number of thefts in the county

of Essex.Keen to blacken his name, Sir Thomas'

enemies branded(给某人加上污名)him “a rapist, church-

robber, extortioner(勒索者，敲诈者)and would-be

murderer".Unlucky or incompetent,Sir Thomas was certainly in prison almost

continuously throughout the 1450s, though he did

escape several times.His pardon came to him in

Conspiracy(阴谋活动)of 1468, for which he was

imprisoned.There, he turned to writing and earned

eternal fame.Sir Thomas died on 12th March 1471,probably in Newgate Prison(London).He was buried in the nearby Friary Church of St.Francis.II.Morte d' Arthur

《亚瑟王之死》

Malory's tale begins with the mysterious birth of Arthur and ends with his equally mysterious death.The central concern is with the adventures of Arthur and his famous Knights of the Round Table.The knights fight many battles and win glory, all of which is a credit to the name of King Arthur.Near the end of the story, however, the tide of good fortune turns.Launcelot, one of Arthur's knights, falls in love with Arfhur's queen, Guinever, and the lady

returns his love.One by one the other knight become discontented(使不满), selfish, or

disillusioned(使醒悟;使不再抱幻想;使...的理想破灭).Thus weakened, the kingdom is attacked by force under Sir Mordred, Arthur's treacherous(背叛的;不忠的)nephew, and ultimately it goes down in defeat.Arthur is borne away(被...所驱使)on a barge(大型平底船)by three mysterious ladies of the Lake.Morte d‘Arthur was written in a time of transition.The feudal order was dying.By the time Malory began writing his story, soldiers were fighting with gunpowder, a middle class of

tradesmen was arising;and the practices of chivalry were being replaced(代替,取代)by a new aristocratic code.Malory, in a desire to escape the disorder and uneasiness of his day,tried to recapture lost ideals of the romantic past as recounted(叙述,讲述)in his tale of noble kings, adventurous knights, and damsels(少女;闺女)in distress(悲痛;苦恼;忧伤;贫困,穷苦;危难;不幸;引起痛苦或悲痛的事物).This book is very important in English literature.Its Arthurian materials have a strong influence on literature of later centuries.III.Questions for Discussion
