《傲慢与偏见》英语专业毕业论文.doc

Abstract
Pride and Prejudice is Austin’s great work. In Pride and Prejudice Austen writes four marriage types: ideal Elizabeth and Darcy; realizable Charlotte and Collins; felicitous Jane and Bingley; unhappy Lydia and Wickham. She points out emphatically that economic consideration are the bonds of wedlock and love. She acclaims that happy marriage is not subject to property and family status. It is unwise to marry without money and it is also wrong to marry for money. Marriage with mutual love is regarded as happy and ideal one. The thesis explicates that Austen’s view of marriage is progressive, in Pride and Prejudice. She focuses on the equality between men and women and she emphasizes marriage should be of equal importance in terms of love and economic consideration. More importantly, mutual love should be the top priority in marriage. With the ideal marriage in mind, the author of this novel criticizes the patriarchy and the view of marriage of her time. Therefore, her exposure is a great realistic significance to the society today.
Key Words: Pride and Prejudice; views of marriage; Austen
摘要
《傲慢与偏见》是奥斯汀的伟大著作,小说中描述了四种男女的婚姻类型:理想的伊丽莎白和达西、现实的夏络蒂和柯林斯、幸福的吉英和彬格莱以及不幸的丽迪雅和韦翰。她强调了经济状况对妇女爱情和婚姻的束缚,指出婚姻不应该只由财产门第来决定,虽然找一个没钱的人结婚是不明智的,但是为金钱而结婚也是错误的,建立在爱情基础上的婚姻才是理想和幸福的。本论文主要以马克思主义社会经济学说为依据,来阐明奥斯丁的婚姻观是前卫的,她提倡的是一种爱情与经济并重而又以爱情为重的婚姻观,还强调了男女之间的平等,揭示了婚姻的内涵。对今天社会来讲,她的揭示也有着相当的现实意义。
