Reading Report of Pride and Prejudice

Before reading Pride and Prejudice，I simply regarded it as a love story，however，after reading，I found that it is an illustration of the society of Britain in 18th century。

First of all，let me introduce the author of this book。Jane Austen who was one of the most famous female writer in Britain even in the whole world。Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote Pride and Prejudice，her sharp observation of lives made the whole book mature and lively。She perfectly reflected the relationship between money and marriage at her time and gave vivid characters in her book。Today，Pride and Prejudice still can be one of the guides telling us the relationship between money and marriage both at her time and modern time。

Secondly，let me introduce the main plot and characters in that book。Novel through four marriage to elaborate the relationship between money and marriage。I think Mr.Bennet is a hidden man.。For example，when his wife asking him to pay a visit to Mr.Bingley，he seems unwilling to do that，however，he early did in fact。Mrs.Bennet is a neurotic vanity and shortsighed woman。There is nothing important than marring off her five daughters。

I will introduce the five daughters in turn。Jane is a beautiful，simply and innocent girl。She never speak evil of others。Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion。Mary likes reading classic books and feigning elegant。Actually she is a pedant。Lydia is a little profligate girl who likes to follow handsome boys。Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister，Lydia。

There is male actors in following。Mr.Bingley is just what a young man ought to be。But his friend，Mr.Darcy，is an arrogant man who seems always feel suprior。Mr.Bingley’sister，Miss.Caroline，is a snobbish girl。The officer Mr.Wickham is a yellow dog。The Bennet’cousin Mr.Collin is a man who attaches bigwigs。

Thirdly，I will show you some of my feelings。Before this，I must introduce the background information about Britain in 18th century。“Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’ possessions。Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives had no choice but marry a man or a woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives。”FORM INTERNET

Thus，we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier，particularly for women without many possession。Furtherly，the marriage in Pride and Prejudice is not the result of love，but economic needs。Miss.Caroline strongly opposed Mr.Bingley’plan of marring Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them。In modern society，although the marriage of economic needs have decreased rapidly，the concept of “money determines everything”is still rooted in some people’ mind。Marry for money is still a big problem in our society。Today，possession，education background，jobs’condition remains the main reasons that may influence one’ marriage。

Above is my reading report。

II.Summary The story shows the British society's life at that time by describing the marriage problems.It mainly describes the love story of Bennet ’s several daughters.Mr.Bingley is newly from London and falls in love with the biggest daughter, Jane.His friend Darcy is sweet upon the second daughter Elizabeth, but their marriage moves slowly for some reasons.After a range of interesting troubles, the misunderstandings are finally removed.With Darcy overcomes his pride, and Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, they get together finally.By describing different marriages, Austin expresses her opinions of the marriage which insist on the understanding to each other.To a certain extent, this novel also reflects the wish for the independent marriage for women at that time.Mr.Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hertfordshire with his overbearing wife.The Bennets 5 daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia.Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr.Bennet dies their house will be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met, so the family's future happiness and security are dependent on the daughters making good marriages.Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighborhood of the rich gentleman Mr.Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country.Mr.Bingley brings with him his sister and his friend Mr.Darcy.One night, at a dancing party, Mr.Bingley is well-received in the community;but Mr.Darcy is very proud and indifferent to other people.Mr.Bingley falls in love with Jane immediately, and so does Jane.Mr.Bingley and Jane Bennet begin to grow close relationship despite Mrs.Bennet's interference and the opposition of Bingley's sister.Because of Mr.Darcy’s pride, Elizabeth is stung by his haughty rejection of her and decides to match his coldness with her own wit.Sometime later, Mr.Darcy begins to develop interests in Elizabeth.At another dancing party, Mr.Darcy invites Elizabeth to dance only to be refused.Mr.Darcy is in a difficult position.At the same time

Elizabeth begins a friendship with Mr.Wickham, a militia officer who relates a prior acquaintance with Darcy.Wickham tells her that he has been seriously mistreated by Darcy.Elizabeth immediately seizes upon this information as another reason to hate Darcy.Bingley's sister has pursuit Mr.Darcy for a long time, but when she finds that Mr.Darcy is fond of Elizabeth.The anger makes her prevent the development of their relationship.In addition, Mr.Darcy also dislikes Elizabeth’s mother and sisters for their vulgarism.Finally, Mr.Bingley leaves London under the persuasion of his sister and Mr.Darcy.Before Bingley leaves, Mr.Collins, the male relative who is to inherit Longbourn, makes a sudden appearance and stays with the Bennets.He is a recently ordained clergyman employed by the wealthy and patronizing Lady Catherine de Bourgh.Collins has another reason for visiting: he wishes to find a wife from among the Bennet sisters.Mr.Bennet and Elizabeth are amused by his self-important and pedantic behavior.He immediately enters pursuit of Jane;however, when Mrs.Bennet mentions her preoccupation with Mr.Bingley, he turns to Elizabeth.He soon proposes marriage to Elizabeth, only to be refused again.Collins quickly recovers and proposes to Elizabeth's close friend, Charlotte Lucas, who immediately accepts him.Once the marriage is arranged, Charlotte asks Elizabeth to come for an extended visit.In the spring, Elizabeth joins Charlotte and her cousin at his parish in Kent.The parish is adjacent to Rosings Park, the grand manor of Mr.Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, where Elizabeth frequently invites.While calling on Lady Catherine, Mr.Darcy encounters Elizabeth.She discovers from a cousin of Darcy that it is he who separates Bingley and Jane.Soon after, Darcy admits his love of Elizabeth and proposes to her.Insulted by his high-handed and insulting manner of proposing, Elizabeth refuses him.When he asks why she should refuse him, she tells him the story of Bingley and Jane, furthermore, she also takes Mr.Wickham’s story as an example to blame Mr.Darcy.Deeply shaken by Elizabeth's vehemence and accusations, Darcy writes her a letter justifying his actions and decides to change himself.In the letter, he says that it is Wickham who uses up all the legacy-settlement.As for Bingley and Jane, Darcy justifies his actions from having observed that Jane does not show any reciprocal interest in his friend;thus his aim in separating them is mainly to protect Bingley from heartache.Darcy admits he is concerned about the disadvantageous connection with Elizabeth's family, especially her embarrassing mother and wild younger sisters.After reading the letter, Elizabeth begins to question both her family's behaviors and Wickham's credibility;she concludes that Wickham is not as trustworthy as his easy manners would indicate, and that her early impressions of Darcy may not have been accurate.Soon after receiving the letter Elizabeth returns home.Some months later, during a tour of Derbyshire with her aunt and uncle, Elizabeth visits Darcy's estate.There they meet again, and Darcy is different from before.He becomes friendly and modest, which leaves Elizabeth a good impression.Some good things happening between Darcy and Elizabeth when news arrives that Elizabeth's younger sister Lydia has run away with Wickham.Elizabeth is convinced that Darcy will be angry with her.However, Darcy does the opposite thing.With the help of Darcy, Lydia and Wickham are found and married.Bingley and Jane are together after a lot of hardships in the end, but Darcy’s aunt Lady Catherine travels to Longbourn with the sole aim of confronting Elizabeth and demanding that she never accepts such a proposal of marries Darcy.Elizabeth refuses to bow to Lady Catherine's demands.When the news reaches Darcy, it convinces him that her opinion of him has changed.When he visits, he once again proposes marriage.Elizabeth accepts, and the two become engaged.In the end, all the people in the novel are happy, and this is the happy ending.III.Comments

In my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time.It perfectly reflects the relation between money and marriage at her time and gives the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities.The most important part of the novel is the love story between Elizabeth and Darcy.Elizabeth is a smart and beautiful girl born in a middle class family who is persistent and brave in the pursuit of love.The story’s spread leads on Elizabeth’s feeling to Darcy: from detestation to admiration and then love.In addition, other people’s happiness also appears during this period of time.Jane Austen writes this for the purpose of showing the thinking of the women’s love, marriage and expectation at that time.Now let me talk something about the marriage in the novel briefly.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is based on both money and love, and love is more important.This is the perfect marriage.The only purpose of Collins and Lucas’ marriage is pursuit.Only by

marrying someone can Lucas feels safety.Jane and Bingley’s marriage is based on beauty and money.This is also a kind of good marriage.They will be happy.Lydia and Wickham’s marriage is only based on passion.They only care about the appearance.We can image whether their life will happy or not.Jane Austen thinks that it is wrong for people to marry for money and social statues;on the other hand, she also disagrees to the marriage regardless of the former aspects.So Jane Austen calls on the reasonable marriage, and the marriage should be based on love.In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind.A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages.Education background, possessions, jobs remain the main reason that may influence one’s marriage.Marrying for money is still a big problem in our society.We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything? Austen left this problem for us to think.The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, and the simplicity that reflects big problems.Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively.The plots in her works are always very natural.The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics.I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic.Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.I really learn a lot from the book, which makes me think a lot.It is one of the best books that I have ever read.Furthermore, I think it is one of the best books that have ever been written.The reason that I have such feelings maybe I really read too few books.So, there are still many wonderful books in front of me waiting to be read.Keep reading, keep moving.

Pride and Prejudice is the story of four marriages in British country of 18th century.Jane Austen shows the pictures of the current social life in Britain through the marriage matter, it also reflects her views on marriage.The book describes the

virtuous and emotional entanglements among the single young Darcy and the second Miss.Elizabeth, and the wealthy single Bingley and the eldest Miss.Jane.The most important love story naturally happens between Elizabeth and Darcy.There’re three marriages interspersed in it.Collins and Charlotte’s business marriage just satisfies their dreams.Collins wants a wife, and Charlotte wants a husband.Wickham and Lydia’s frivolous marriage just meets their benefits.Lydia completes her “pursuit”, and Wickham gains some money.Bingley and Jane’s marriage is happy with true

feelings, like Darcy and Elizabeth’s.They have feelings for each other in the ball, and have deeper contacts with each other.But they two can’t determine the other’s mind;Bingley is persuaded by Darcy to give the affection and he leaves Jane.Jane lives in sadness.So does Bingley.He comes back to chase Jane and the lover immerses in the joy.They two are all gentle persons, so their marriage will be comfortable and filled with tender and sweet.(207 Words)

IV.Comments on the book

1.What are the strengths and weaknesses of the book?(≥50words)

Although Austen’s theme is narrow, the story is quite dull, but she is good at

shape distinctive characters in ordinary daily things.Whether Elizabeth and Darcy that the author thinks should be positive character, or Collins this kind of being the object of sarcasm, she presents themin a real way.At the same time, Austin’s language is after temper, she in a dialogue art exquisite humor, satire, often with funny witty language to foil character's personality.This kind of artistic

innovation made her works have their own characteristics

2.What is the part of this book that had the greatest impact on you? Why?(≥

50words)

With the revealing of the truth, Elizabeth’s prejudice on Darcy becomes deeper.Until when Elizabeth refuses Darcy’s long love letter, she experiences the fierce shock.After undergoing a period of painful and profound thought, she could not help but to shout how despicable she is。When we see the blame from heart, we find her

shortcomings and the courage that she could face herself directly.It is her bringing that plays a role;she starts to give up the bias caused by self-esteem, truly and seriously understand Darcy.Elizabeth wouldn't believe the shameless lies about

Darcy said by Han and eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice.She finally falls in love with Darcy.Is the writing effective, powerful, difficult, or beautiful?(≥50words)

I think it is helpful.The different treatments and attitudes towards these marriages reflect Jane Austen’s views on marriage.It’s wrong for marriage to pursue property,money and high status.She stresses the importance of an ideal marriage and takes the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of the ideal marriage.We also learn that pride and prejudice are the very common problems and weaknesses in human’s personality.Everyone is easy to be driven by their own subjective

consciousness or other people’s wrong comments.It may cause a misunderstanding toward a thing or a person.What we should do is to avoid these weaknesses and make them under good regulation.Everything must be based on objective sense and commented with a deeper understanding.1.If you could talk to the author, what would you say?(≥50words)

In this great book, you amply demonstrates your point about love and marriage.And you let me know that at that time, according to the social conditions in

Britain, a good marriage for a young woman was critical.And in the 19th

century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society.There was no equality.between woman and man.Women were

considered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity.Now

through this book I find the courage to show ourselves.What did you learn about yourself as a result of reading this book?(≥50words)Thank you.after reading your book I form a positive attitiud to the marrige.now, I thinklove and marriage only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual understanding and true love, but also by satirizing the marriage founded on the basis of origin and desire.The marriage based on social position and money can’t bring happy life.3.Note down five useful expressions you learned from your reading and make

on sentence for each expression.1)[Useful expression](p.6)She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper.[Sentence you made]: He is a man in possession of a good fortune.2)[Useful expression](p.4)``My dear Mr.Bennet,'' replied his wife, ``how can you be so tiresome!You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.''

[Sentence you made]: From the fact that after 100,000 years or a million years or whatever it is, eventually life would grow tiresome, that hardly shows that life has grown tiresome after 50 years or 80 years or 100.3)[Useful expression](p.60)``Indeed I have, Sir,'' was her answer.``She is a great deal too ill to be moved.Mr.Jones says we must not think of moving her.We must trespass a little longer on your kindness.'

[Sentence you made]: I will trespass on your hospitality

4)[Useful expression](p.124)``I remember hearing you once say, Mr.Darcy, that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was unappeasable.You are very cautious, I suppose, as to its being created.'’

[Sentence you made]: I remember hearing you once say , that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was unappeasable

5)[Useful expression](p.292)Elizabeth could not repress a smile at this, but she answered only by a slight inclination of the head.[Sentence you made]: However, because they don’t have the emotional tools to integrate the hurt caused by abusive adults, they often repress their feelings as their first line of defence.General remarks:(≥200words)

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 because 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 females 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.(_270_ Words)

《傲慢与偏见》读书报告

作者简介：

简·奥斯汀，是英国著名女性小说家，她的作品主要关注乡绅家庭女性的婚姻和生活，以女性特有的细致入微的观察力和活泼风趣的文字真实地描绘了她周围世界的小天地。

奥斯丁21岁时写成她的第一部小说，题名《最初的印象》，她与出版商联系出版，没有结果。就在这一年，她又开始写《埃莉诺与玛丽安》，以后她又写《诺桑觉寺》，于1799年写完。十几年后，《最初的印象》经过改写，换名为《傲慢与偏见》，《埃莉诺与玛丽安》经过改写，换名为《理智与情感》，分别得到出版。至于《诺桑觉寺》，作者生前没有出书。以上这三部是奥斯丁前期作品，写于她的故乡史蒂文顿。

奥斯丁虽然没有进过正规学校，但是家庭的优良条件和读书环境，给了她自学的条件，培养了她写作的兴趣。她在十三四岁就开始写东西，显示了她在语言表达方面的才能。1816年初她得了重病，身体日益衰弱，1817年5月被送到温彻斯特接受治疗，可是医治无效，不幸于同年7月18日死在她姐姐的怀抱里。她终生未婚，安葬在温彻斯特大教堂。

主要作品：

1： 《理性与感性》（Sense and Sensibility，1811）2：《傲慢与偏见》（Pride and Prejudice，1813）3：《曼斯菲尔德庄园》（Mansfield Park，1814）4：《艾玛》（Emma，1815）

5：《诺桑觉寺》（Northanger Abbey，1818，死后出版）6：《劝导》（Persuasion，1818，死后出版）

故事简介：

《傲慢与偏见》是简·奥斯汀的代表作。故事发生在一个闭塞的乡村小镇：小乡绅班纳特先生有5个女儿，而班纳特太太生活中的头等大事就是为他的5个女儿找到合适的丈夫。为此，她整天东跑西窜，忙个不停，但是她们住的地方太偏僻，一时找不到合适的人选。就在这个时候，两个单身、富有而且英俊的绅士来到这里度假。这两个人的到来，不亚于在平静的水面上投下了一块巨石。到底班纳特太太能不能如愿以偿、顺顺利利地把自己的五个女儿嫁出去呢？作者用诙谐幽默的语言，向我们讲述了一桩曲折的姻缘。结局大大出乎班纳特太太、邻居和亲戚们的意料，带有一股轻喜剧的味道。

班纳特家有五个女儿均未出嫁；而班纳特太太又是一个神经质虚荣心十足的女人，将每个女儿嫁出去是她这一生唯一的大事，可她却从不费心管教女儿的举止；而班纳特先生是个顾家的老绅士，却放任妻子和女儿的不得体行为，宁愿躲进图书室寻求平静。

简·班纳特是班纳特家的大女儿，容貌美丽、性情温柔、沉静；伊莉沙白·班纳特是班纳特家的二女儿，个性活泼大方、聪慧与美貌并俱；三女儿玛丽容貌不若其它姊妹出色，因此便在品德及知识上用功，但也造成她的自大态度；排行第四的凯蒂个性浮华，与妹妹丽迪雅最热忠跳舞，举止常失礼而不自知；么女儿爱慕虚荣、注重享乐、跳舞和与军官斗闹取乐是她生活的唯一目的。

直到有一天，班纳特家附近的搬来了一个单身男子彬格莱·查尔斯，他是一个个性温和、做人真诚不拘小节的富家青年，偶然在一个宴会彬格莱却恋上了班纳特家的大女儿简，并与简·班纳特相互爱慕；而彬格莱的好朋友达西·费茨威廉个性拘谨严肃，不善言词常给人自大傲慢的印象，在不知不觉中喜欢上班纳特家的二女儿伊莉沙白，但是因为班纳特一家本身并不是得体的家族令这两段恋情受到障碍，伊莉沙白一开始就对傲慢的达西存有偏见，这部书主要就是描述他们这段关系的转变过程。

读后感：

人们就是以财富来衡量一个人的。在达西与伊莉沙白的年代是趋于保守的，也会有贵族与平民的上的障碍。傲慢和偏见，就属于人类弱点中最常见的两种。而人性又太容易被扭曲、被异化，一不小心，或一旦陷入盲目，失去公正和理智，被感情所操纵，就会出毛病，伊莉沙白和达西也只是一个代表而已。而出身、财产、地位、教养、一旦沾上上流的边，就容易染上傲慢的毛病，对贫穷、低下、粗俗的人瞧不上眼；而地位低、财产少的人，出于人类的一种自尊心，则以偏见对抗骄傲的优越者，这自然是另一种被扭曲的傲慢。

这部书以社会女性主义观点切入，检视奥斯汀的社会背景，探索社会环境如何影响女性在面临婚姻时的抉择，反映了女性内心的焦虑与挣扎。就社会女性主义者而言，物质环境为塑造女性婚姻意识的决定因素。事实上，婚姻，就小说人物而言，是一个阶级交换与经济交流的市场。为了达成结婚的目的，女性人物擅于把自己转化成商品，展示其外貌与才艺，吸引男性目光。这一时期女性受到社会价值的鼓励，利用其女性特质来赢得婚姻伴侣。然而，奥斯汀的女性人物在面临婚姻伴侣的抉择时往往呈现对婚姻无意识的不安。爱情是一条主线，然而婚姻与爱情还是有差别的，其中一点诚实，男女主人公就太缺少了。正因为如此才使得女主角不安。

人，总是喜欢先入为主，达西先生傲慢、无礼的样子早已进入伊丽莎白的头脑，再加上骗子韦翰利用了自己巧妙的奉承能力以及一付“讨人喜欢”的仪表，迷住了伊丽莎白，不停地为自己洗刷冤情，中伤达西。不可否认，韦翰长着一张英俊的脸，表面上也装得非常“绅士”，使得伊丽莎白完全相信了韦翰的花言巧语，即使她是家中最居理智的女儿，毕竟年轻，对于一个人是好是坏，还只是看浅表的。最主要的可能是伊丽莎白太过于在乎她在别人眼中的形象，她非常不希望在别人眼里看来她是一个无知而虚荣，又没有教养的女人，可她也只是一个处在那种时代的而不甘于做一个配件的女人而已，她希望的伴侣能在心灵上与之共鸣，对于这个人的品格的要求超过了财富的要求，这一点是值得赞赏的，毕竟是在有一个爱钱的母亲的教育下长大的。不过对于这样一个母亲，她还是感到了自卑，才会在面对韦翰的谎言时，盲目的相信那个“高高在上”的达西是个卑鄙的人，从而使自己在他面前时的自卑心得到解脱。不过幸运的是伊丽莎白没有被这些真正的蒙住双眼。

人的缺陷太多，首先是心灵上的陷阱。要想在一生中成就一番事业，无论是知识、教养、还是爱情、事业，都需要同自己心灵的种种浅浮的陷阱或阴影做斗争，经过各种误解和长时间的反复的认识过程，慢慢由心灵克服各自弱点和毛病，而走向开放、洒脱、自由的必然结果。然而没有爱情不要勉强与他人结婚，只要人品正直，追求美德，不放松向喜之心，不苟且、贪图一时之利欲，追求两心之和谐、相应，运用彼此的智慧，克服心灵上的缺点，终得如愿以偿。

人和人之间的相处总会有一些小小的摩擦，而这些摩擦，往往就是自己内心中所潜藏的弱点或毛病，要和别人能够更愉快的生活，就必须先了解到自己的缺点，并磨去他，其次是了解别人的内心，最后再互相深入彼此，如此一来，你会发现到社会上每一件人、事、物都是如此美好而光明，更进一步激发出你内心深处的感动，发挥出自己的专长去替这个社会、这个国家、这个世界服务，毕竟我门是万物之长，如果人们不再用心去关怀身边的人，不再去付出自己的一臂之力，那么还有谁要去完成这个任务呢？所以从现在开始，我们就应该将自己原先所存有的毛病给除去，换上一个全新的自我，为崭新的未来打拚吧
