Pride and Prejudice was first published in 1813, although Jane Austen had written it between October of 1796 and August of 1797.This was at a time when women were expected to stay at home and just be a pretty face, not think for themselves, and not involve themselves in politics or careers.Men were authors;women were not.Even when Pride and Prejudice was finally published in 1813, Austen’s name did not appear as the author of the book, and in fact, Austen was never given credit for being the author of any of her works while she was alive.Regardless, Jane Austen is one of the most widely read authors of English literature and there is no doubt in my mind as to why this is true.She had a lot to say about women and society in England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Pride and Prejudice is quite comic and it paints a clear picture of how women who lacked their own fortune oftentimes had to give up love to marry for economic security and social status.And Pride and Prejudice was set in the English countryside in a county roughly thirty miles from London, the novel opens with the Bennet family in Longbourn and their five unmarried daughters.The family itself is not nearly as rich as those they interact with and because they have no
sons, the property is legally entailed to pass to a male heir, in this case Mr.Collins.Mrs.Bennet is intent on seeing her daughters married off to wealthy men and when Charles Bingley arrives at nearby Netherfield Park she is excited by the prospect of introducing her daughters to him.She immediately sends her husband to visit him on the first day he arrives.The first two sentences of the whole book are great.They will always be two of my favorite opening lines from any book, and they set the stage for all of the ridiculousness that is about to happen throughout the rest of the story“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.”
In fact, there are really three characters in this story—Elizabeth, Mr.Wickham, and Mr.Darcy.The pride of Mr.Darcy leads to Elizabeth’s prejudice, but it is also Elizabeth’s contempt and honesty that allures Mr.Darcy.Her prejudice is promoted and abused by Mr.Wickham—a man of ill nature but good disguise, whose self-importance and vanity are to surface later.Elizabeth is first partial to Mr.Wickham, fuelled by empathy and prejudice(in a good way).She rejects Mr.Darcy’s proposal, which
does not seem to hurt Mr.Darcy’s pride but only strengthens his intention.She began to see Mr.Darcy through her own eyes.The more she observes, the more affectionate she become to him.Her love for him is never a sudden one—it grows out of guilt, shame, gratitude, respect, and admiration.Elizabeth makes Mr.Darcy a less proud creature, while Mr.Darcy makes Elizabeth realize her own prejudice.It is love that motivated two.We all have pride, self-importance, and esteem.We all tend to be defensive when our importance is threatened by another “higher” being.So we impose stereotypes, prejudices, and biases on others.We judge people, we make evaluations based on fractions of facts, and we fill gaps with our imagination and treat imagination as evidence.In the end, our prejudice serves no other purpose than our pride.Prejudice prevents us from listening, so we will never hear what others have suffered.Prejudice prevents us from observing, so we will never see their true conducts.Prejudice prevents us from reflecting, so we shall never doubt our own righteousness and hence our esteem is preserved.How hard it is to see what is really there!
第二篇：傲慢与偏见读后感
我喜欢里面的达西，在人们眼里，他可能不讨人喜欢，但是宽大的胸怀，对别人怀疑的那种镇静，对自己所爱的执着，对粗俗人的包容，对朋友的真诚，甚至对某些人的不屑，才华、睿智，我都欣赏！
我喜欢里面的人物描写，对那种傲慢者，对那种拜金主义者，对那种萌动的爱意，对那种对爱的期盼，对低俗之辈的赤裸裸讽刺，都是那么的逼真。
小说中，每个人都用他们的方式来诠释自己的爱情观、价值观、人生观。
当时的西方社会，贵族社会和底层平民有严重的区别，社会阶级化明显。上帝创造人类的本意是赋予了每个人平等的地位、平等的权利。但是出生的差别、环境的影响，各人追逐的东西都是不同的，有人天生就爱金钱，有人天生就热恋权利，有人天生就沉迷于虚荣华贵，有人天生就是名誉的奴隶，有人天生就是纯真善良的守护者，有人天生就是真爱的追随者。当然，有些人并不是天生的，所谓近朱者赤，近墨者黑，当然也有出淤泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖。我没有权利将自己的爱情观、价值观、人生观强加给任何人，任何人都没有，如果他们是出于本意的，就如出生那样，赤裸裸地、坦诚的去追逐这些，是无可非议的，并且值得尊重，毕竟人各有志；但是那些耍些伎俩、损人利己之人、卑鄙之人、非出于真心想法和做法的人，我们绝对可以用以傲慢和偏见来看他们。社会的丰富多彩，世界的可贵之处，就是有了这么多独一无二的人类。

Book Reading
Jane Austen(1775-1817)
“Pride and Prejudice”Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press(April 2010)
Information about the writer: An English writer, who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life.Although Austen was widely read in her lifetime, she published her works anonymously.The most urgent preoccupation of her bright, young heroines is courtship and finally marriage.Austen herself never married.Her best-known books include PRIDE AND PREJUDICE(1813)and EMMA(1816).Virginia Woolf called Austen “the most perfect artist among women.”
Extract1.Elizabeth’s astonishment was beyond expression.She stared, coloured, doubted, and was silent.This he considered sufficient encouragement;and the avowal of all that he felt, and had long felt for her, immediately followed.He spoke well;but there were feelings besides those of the heart to be detailed;and he was not more eloquent on the subject of tenderness than of pride.His sense of her inferiority— of its being a degradation—of the family obstacles which had always opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his suit.2.In spite of her deeply-rooted dislike, she could not be insensible to the compliment of such a man’s affection, and though her intentions did not vary for an instant, she was at first sorry for the pain he was to receive;till, roused to resentment by his subsequent language, she lost all compassion in anger.She tried, however, to compose herself to answer him with patience, when he should have done.My comments: Mrs.Bennet is a vain person, and she has five daughters, all of whom with obvious personality.Mrs.Bennet has no other wish but marring off her daughters with someone wealthy and has high social status, but she never gives a lot of care to her daughters’ improperly behavior.Mr.Bennent is an old gentleman who take good care of his family, but he would like to let his wife’s improper behavior go unchecked, and he prefer hiding himself into library to find a piece of peace.Their oldest daughter, Jane Bennet, has a good appearance, gentle despotism, and always be quiet.Second daughter, Elizabeth, a vivid, wisdom, pretty, independent girl.Third daughter, Mary Bennet, maybe she is not as beautiful as her sisters ,but she is delinquent in pursuing knowledge to make up the common of her appearance ,so she is also a pride girl.Forth girl, Catherine “Kitty” Bennet ,who has a impetuous character , is fond of dancing, her manner is always improper, but she was never aware of this point.The youngest daughter , Lydia Bennet , is also a vain person , interested in dancing and making fun with officers ,it seems that such thing is her own life’s aim.One day, Bingley, a single man of a large fortune came to live near their home.He was a gentle, honest, tolerant and rich young man.He fell in love with Jane in a dance and had an affinity for each other.But Bingley’s friend
Darcy was serious and not good at communicating with others, which left a proud impression on others.Gradually, he fell in love with Elizabeth.However, the family of Bennet was not a decent family itself, which hindered their love from developing smoothly.Elizabeth had a prejudice against Darcy from the first.The problem between Elizabeth and Darcy was just a representative.Once one’s parentage, property, status and cultivation are related to upper class, he will be proud and look down on poor, humble and vulgar people.In turn, people with low status and little property, out of the self-esteem, will defend the proud with prejudice, which turns out to be another pride.Elizabeth was a clever girl;she did not accept that kind of marriage, either.When Darcy, a rich man proposed to her, she rejected.Because she did not like Darcy.Darcy was proud.Elizabeth had prejudice with him.Obviously, the pride and prejudice;two bad guys obstructed Darcy and Elizabeth's marriage.Fortunately, Darcy and Elizabeth rediscovered
themselves.Gradually, Elizabeth fell in love with Darcy, too.Finally, they married.By the way, in the end, Jane married Bingley.Love is really a wonderful thing.On the way of seeking love, as long as we stick to our principle and don’t be afraid of misunderstanding, I believe one day happiness will come true.

A book report on Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, is the most famous of Jane Austen's novels and one of the first “romantic comedies” in the history of the novel.Jane Austen, English novelist whose realism, biting social commentary and masterful use of free indirect speech, burlesque and irony have earned her a place as one of the most widely-read and best-loved writers in British literature.Its manuscript was first written between 1796 and 1797, initially called First Impressions, but was never published under that title.The title of the book is taken from a sentence in Fanny Burney's Cecilia;Austen was a reader and admirer of Burney's novels.The book opens its prelude with the sentence, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surroundings families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.Elizabeth was the core character of the story, who is the second daughter of Mr.Bennet.She is characterized as a sensible, intelligent, yet stubborn, young woman.Elizabeth initially holds that Mr.Darcy is such a proud man that she dislikes him because of it.Jane, sister of Elizabeth falls in love with Mr.Bingley but Mr.Bingley is persuaded to leave the town under the suggestion of Mr.Darcy.Mr.Darcy is a rich man that at first he thinks that Elizabeth is not handsome enough to tempt him.However, he has a crush on the girl later.The man makes a proposal to Elizabeth, unfortunately he was turned down because his attitude is supposed to be too proud and Elizabeth has a great prejudice against him.What’s more, Elizabeth is convinced by Mr.Wickam of Darcy’s selfishness and pride.Having been turned down by the girl, Mr.Darcy leaves her sadly, leaving a long letter to make some explanation: he admits that he persuaded Bingley to leave but it is
because he is unsatisfied with Mrs.Bennet.What Mr.Wickam has said is all a lie for that it is Wickam who uses up all the assets and attempts to temp her sister.After reading the letter, Elizabeth is regretful and changes her opinion against Darcy.The next summer, Elizabeth meets Mr.Darcy and finds the changes in Darcy.During that time, Mr.Darcy helps Lidia and helps Bingley be together with Jane.From then on, Elizabeth’s prejudice towards Darcy is changed into true love.Finally they make peace and again, Mr.Darcy makes a proposal to Elizabeth.At last, the lovers finally got married.Having read the book, a question occurred to me that what is the cause of the lovers to be together after such a long time.As far as I am concerned, it is pride and prejudice that is the barrier of their love.In fact, there is barrier like this in our communication in our daily life.We always take something for granted and we have prejudice to the people whom we do not really understand.Meanwhile, we are too proud sometimes and we just refuse to know others well because of our poor pride.Furthermore, we have choice to decide what we want.Some people gets married because the temptation of the materials, like Charlotte, however, some insist on getting married to the person that is really their love, just like Elizabeth.Material comfort makes us happy sometimes, however, it won’t last long.For the things are empty in spirits.We need something that can comfort our spirits not just our bodies.Everyone has his own shortcomings.Elizabeth has prejudice against before she knows the person well, while Mr.Darcy is too proud at first.No one is perfect, but we can overcome those shortcomings as possible as we can, no matter what the result is.The communication with people is not an easy thing and understanding others may be more difficult.However, if we try our best to do it well, throwing away all our pride and prejudice, and be a new person to fight for a good future.
