傲慢与偏见的婚姻观.doc

Introduction
Jane Austen humorously described the marriage in the "Pride and Prejudice" and a series of marriage-relaterable relationship between marriages, property and family status. In her novel, as long as a woman who was intelligent, decent, educated, and patient could overcome social barriers, she would receive the ideal happy marriage.
Austen was bom in a middle-class family of a small village in England, so the people and things in her works were all connected with this environment which was very familiar to her. It is difficult for readers to find the sufferings of those working people who lived at the bottom of the society at that time. At the same time, the important events, such as the French Revolution and Industrial Revolution, were little. Her narrative was always inseparable from the party, walk, talk, dance Although this written style received some
people's criticism, she still stick to it. She once said that she was “sculpt on two inches of ivory". Austen was never married, but the marriage is the eternal theme of her writings. In her works, the marriage status of middle-class people was alive.
The Background of Pride and Prejudice
In this great book, the author amply demonstrated her view on love and marriage. In order to analyze these points of view, we should firstly start from the background of her great works. "At that time, according to the social conditions in Britain, a good marriage for a young woman was critical. This phenomenon was closely associated with the British society and the status of women in the society. 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. The central life of women was forced to be staying at home. Their roles were to deal with the family affairs, such as taking care of the children and serving for the husband.”(Zhu Hong, P34, 1995)
