Abstract
Pride and prejudice is Jane Austin’s great work, discussing the different marriages and love. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen comments that marriage in her time is a financial contract, where love is strictly a matter of chance. This is clearly evident from the very first line of the novel: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”资料个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
To Regency-era writer Jane Austen, a perfect marriage meant having it all - love and money. She rejects the marriage based on wealth and stresses the element of emotion in a marriage. As this did not happen often in reality, her novels appeased with happy endings.
Key Words: Love; marriage; property; social status
 
摘要
《傲慢与偏见》是简·奥斯汀的一部伟大的作品,书中讨论了不同的婚姻和爱情。《傲慢与偏见》中,简·奥斯汀评论在她的时代，婚姻更像是一份金融合同,拥有爱情的婚姻完全是运气使然。显然，上述观点在小说的第一行就能明明白白地显示出来:“一个富有的单身汉都想有一个妻子，这是一个普遍的真理。”下面就是我个人针对这部著作中爱情与婚姻观的浅要分析。
对于摄政时代的作家简·奥斯汀，一场完美的婚姻就意味着拥有了一切——爱情和金钱。她拒绝建立在财富的基础上的婚姻，并强调婚姻中情感元素的重要性。由于这在现实中往往没有发生，她的小说结局常常平息于幸福。
