The novel was written in Britain at the end of 18, and the concept of "marriage based on feelings" gradually emerged. The author tells about the combination of four couples of men and women, and also expresses his views on marriage with superb narrative skills.
1, the fairy-tale affection between Jane and Bingley
Mrs Bennett, the hostess of Longbourne Manor, has five beautiful daughters, but no son. According to British inheritance law, daughters have no right to inherit property. Once Mr Bennitt dies, all his property will be inherited by his distant relative, Mr Collins. Mr. Collins has no affection for the Bennitt family, and Mrs. Bennitt and her daughters may be driven out of the house and live on the streets. Out of fear of future life, it became Mrs Bennitt's goal to marry her daughter into a rich family.
Jane is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Bennitt, and Bingley is the new owner of Nedfield Manor, who is very rich. Jane is beautiful, kind and gentle, Bingley is cheerful and easy-going, rational and humorous. They fell in love at first sight at the public dance. The two sides have close family backgrounds and similar interests, which is a perfect match. The only negative items are Jane's mother and three sisters. Mrs. Bennitt, from humble origins, is a clumsy, ignorant and flattering ordinary woman, while her three sisters lack education and control, and their behavior is exaggerated. But this did not hinder Bingley's enthusiasm. He married Jane successfully despite being blocked by his sister and friends.
There is no doubt that Jane is happy. She is the most beautiful girl in town. She is very sensible. She doesn't have to choose between money and feelings. Bingley meets all the requirements of her perfect marriage.
2. Charlotte's real marriage
Charlotte is the daughter of Sir Lucas and a close friend of Elizabeth, the second lady of Longbourn Manor. She is clever and sensible.
Mr. Collins is Elizabeth's cousin and the future legal heir to Longbourn Manor. He went to Haoyun at a young age and became a priest with the support of Lady Catherine. His house is good and his income is considerable. On the one hand, he wants to thank Lady Catherine, on the other hand, he feels good about himself because he is in power, and the whole person has become a mixture of pride and servility, arrogance and humility. His actions and words were greatly despised by Elizabeth.
Mr Collins needs to find a wife. After failing to propose to Elizabeth, he quickly turned to Charlotte. Charlotte doesn't like Mr. Collins either, but she is still willing to commit herself to him.
"I'm not a romantic, you know. All I want is a comfortable family; I am not talking nonsense when I study Mr. Collins' personality, social relations and living conditions. After marrying him, I am more likely to be happy, at least similar to what most people who are going to get married expect. " Charlotte said to Elizabeth.
Charlotte is twenty-seven years old. She has no beautiful appearance and no prominent family background. It's not bad to find such a home. In the face of marriage, Charlotte is undoubtedly rational and sober.
Collins does not love Charlotte, and Charlotte does not necessarily love Collins. This is a realistic marriage, and it is also the marriage of most people, each with its own survival needs.
3. Lydia's frivolous marriage
Lady Bennett's fifth daughter Lydia is only 16 years old. She inherited all the shortcomings of Mrs Bennitt, naive, reckless, ignorant and frivolous. In that era of closed tradition, she ignored social comments and hung out among officers all day, enjoying the attention of men.
Wickham is a lieutenant officer with poor character, no knowledge and no future. However, he is young, handsome and eloquent, and has won the favor of many women, and Lydia is one of them.
Lydia naively thought Wickham would marry her, so she eloped with him, which put the whole family to shame. The only way to wash away shame is to get married. Wickham used marriage as a bargaining chip, got a huge sum of 2500 pounds to pay off his debts, and got a job in the northern army.
Lydia was immersed in the perfect life of marriage and followed her husband to the border.
Marriage without material foundation and feelings can only be maintained by the support of my sister.
4. Elizabeth's proud love
Elizabeth is Mrs. Bennitt's second young lady, lively, intelligent, brave and educated. On the issue of marriage, she has her own opinions, material wealth, dignity and feelings, all of which are indispensable.
With Mrs. Bennitt's consent, Collins proposed to Elizabeth, but she was rejected. Elizabeth doesn't like Collins' character.
Wickham's appearance is gentle and gentle, and his words and deeds are favored by Elizabeth. However, due to his lack of economic foundation, Elizabeth properly maintained their relationship at the level of friends.
Bingley's friend Darcy, born in a rich family, has huge wealth, introverted personality, doesn't like talking to strangers and is not sociable.
"Not bad, but not good-looking, not attractive to me; At the moment, I am not in the mood to support girls who are despised by other men. " At the first meeting at the ball, Darcy commented on what Elizabeth said to Bingley and listened to every word. Her arrogant attitude was also deeply impressed on her mind.
Later, Wickham's slander on Darcy's reversal of black and white further deepened Elizabeth's hatred of Darcy.
Prejudice blinded her. After the dance, Darcy showed her kindness many times, but the clever Elizabeth didn't know it.
Darcy could not control his emotions and confessed to Elizabeth. Her shock is beyond description. "He talked endlessly about how humble Elizabeth's family was and how wrong the two sides were. Since I would rather lose my identity than marry her, it shows that I am sincere to her. "Darcy's confession hurt Elizabeth's self-esteem, and the two broke up in discord.
Darcy gave Elizabeth a letter detailing Wickham's evil deeds, and the evidence was conclusive.
After reading the letters repeatedly, Elizabeth realized her prejudice. "What makes me so stupid is not my feelings, but my vanity. Since I met them, I have been proud of the flattery of one of them and angry at the indifference of the other, so I am full of prejudice and ignorance, and there is no reason to speak of it. "
After being rejected by Elizabeth, Darcy also realized the problem of self. "My parents are good people, my father is an exception. He is kind, kind. Unfortunately, they indulged me, encouraged me and even taught me to be a selfish and arrogant guy. They look down on everyone except my relatives. At least they disdain to think that they are far behind me in intelligence and wealth. From the age of eight to twenty-eight, I was that kind of person; You taught me a lesson. It is from you that I understand what humility is. "
"Prejudice prevents you from understanding me, and arrogance prevents me from falling in love with you." After putting down Pride and Prejudice, Darcy and his resume finally got married after twists and turns. The author gave the story a happy ending.
Read the model essay of pride and prejudice II. I have long heard of this excellent book, Pride and Prejudice. One day, I came across this book and couldn't wait to turn it over.
If you read this book with curiosity at first, you will be eager to turn it over when you arrive.
This book mainly describes the marriages of Bennett's daughters, reflecting several different views on marriage. In feelings, should beauty, money, status or feelings themselves be put first? The author does not stick to the method of reasoning to clarify his point of view, but lets the readers ponder through several different marriage descriptions. ...
In this book, although there are many characters described, the author arranged it skillfully, as if there was a master and a second time. Although people there except Jane Bennet and elizabeth bennet, as well as Mr Bentley and Mr Darcy, almost everyone else has many shortcomings. But it is because of these little people's descriptions that we think it is true, because in life, we are actually playing these disgraceful protagonists more or less, aren't we? Ask yourself if Mrs. Bennet is selfish, snobbish and dissolute; Wickham turned around; Collins' hypocrisy, stupidity and servility are still Mrs. Catherine's bossiness and selfishness; And other people's ... can we all find some prototypes from ourselves or people around us?
Of course, not all the characters described in the book are so obscene.
Jane is the eldest miss of the Bennet family. She is beautiful, gentle and even naive. She never thinks the worst of others-even though she knows others are cheating on her! In fact, such a person seems perfect, but I think she seems to lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong. If she lives in today's China, even the southeast and northwest will be cheated! In fact, being a man should not only have a tolerant heart, but also have the minimum ability to decide when to endure and when to retreat!
What I admire most is Miss Bennet, Elizabeth. She is beautiful, passionate, intelligent, self-respecting and confident, and will never bow to power. When she saw Darcy's arrogant behavior, even though she knew that he was a young master with an annual salary of tens of thousands of pounds and a high position, she would never curry favor with him. At the dance, when the whole village of Rambo was around him, she just sat on the side with disdain. Later, she realized that she had wronged Darcy before she dared to apologize. Also, when Jane was ill, she put down the lady's airs, braved the rain to visit her sister on foot and patiently served her sister ... In short, in this book, she is almost a perfect darling, with personality, but kind and selfless!
Bentley is a "good man" similar to Jane. Although he is rich, he is so approachable. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups". I think it is both accidental and inevitable that he and Jane can get together. As for Darcy, as I said before, he is an "arrogant guy". Although he is arrogant in appearance, he is actually kind at heart. Although he is rich and powerful, he is so kind to his servants and sincere and selfless to his friends. In fact, he is arrogant because he has capital-I wonder if a young master who grew up in a powerful family and an only son who has been spoiled by his parents can not develop the bad habit of arrogance. At first, he also had deep opinions, but under the influence of Elizabeth, he slowly began to approach ordinary people who were "out of proportion to his position". After that, he and Elizabeth put aside their views on the portal and finally came together. They are two people with almost perfect personalities, and they may become more perfect after interacting with each other.
In short, after reading this book, I feel a lot, but my writing is limited, so it is inevitable that my words fail to convey my meaning. I hope you don't laugh! At the same time, I suggest that you finish reading this book. After reading it, cover the book and think deeply about the theme: What should you put in the first place?
Pride and Prejudice is the masterpiece of Jane Austen, a famous British woman writer. It describes the emotional entanglements between the arrogant single young Darcy and the prejudiced second lady Elizabeth, the rich single aristocrat Bingley and the virtuous young lady Jane.
In fact, this book has been contacted since the first grade, but I was impatient with the complexity of the plot at that time. After reading a few chapters, I lost interest, so I put it aside and didn't pick it up until today. However, when I read the previous chapters again, I still felt very bored. Only then did I know that there was an ambush in the future scene. In a blink of an eye, more than 30 chapters have passed, and the character is clearly portrayed by the author. There seems to be only two kinds of people in this book: smart and stupid, and there is no absolute difference between good and bad, except perhaps Wickham, a liar. He charmed Elizabeth with his clever flattery skills and a pleasing appearance, constantly cleaning up his grievances and slandering Darcy. Ironically, his words were full of loopholes, and Elizabeth, though smart enough to argue with Miss Bingley and refute Lady Catherine, was led by Wickham. To tell the truth, I don't think Elizabeth's being cheated means that he is a "fool". People are always preconceived. It is normal for Mr. Darcy's insolence to enter Elizabeth's mind, how to have a good impression on him, and how to easily turn a deaf ear to other people's comments and prejudices about Darcy. When I say others, I naturally mean the handsome Wickham. There is no denying that Wickham has a handsome face and pretends to be a "gentleman" on the surface Although there is a saying that "a person can't judge a book by its cover" and "a person knows its face but doesn't know its heart", even though I lived in the 2 1 century, I still have a good impression on Wickham as a bystander after reading this story. How can I blame Elizabeth, a girl living in the past?
Close this book and savor it carefully, only to find that the whole novel is fascinating because of its concise and humorous style. Elizabeth's sarcasm and satire are exposing the true face of those nobles who think they are gentlemen and ladies. Fortunately, Elizabeth's father, Mr Bennet, laughed at his wife and daughter for the sake of family happiness.
After reading "Pride and Prejudice", due to personality weakness, we will unconsciously hurt each other every time we meet, just like two hedgehogs, they will hurt each other as soon as they get close. Their relationship began to thaw, and Elizabeth and her uncle and aunt took a walk together from time to time during their summer trip to Derbyshire.
Elizabeth began to think that Darcy's character may not be what she thought at first. After Darcy's courtship was rejected by her, the rivalry between the two made each other lost in thought. What happened afterwards, whether Darcy rescued Lydia or brought Bentley back to Jane, made Elizabeth really.
I saw Darcy's true character clearly and moved her bit by bit. When Darcy pursued her for the second time, he finally agreed. Elizabeth first rejected Darcy, and later understood him. In the middle, I experienced my own examination and research on Darcy, and it was also the coexistence of reason and emotion. So, they will also be happy.
Each of us can find our own microcosm in the novel Pride and Prejudice, which may be a word, a person and a thing. Generally speaking, we should study our own methods before continuing. We need to manage our happiness. Only when reason and emotion coexist can we go further.
After reading Pride and Prejudice, I bought the original English version of Pride and Prejudice under the strong recommendation of my good friend, and it took me several days to finish reading it. Love at first sight! Of course, masterpieces are not flawless. While I like it, I also have many ideas.
Let me talk about the advantages I found first. There is no doubt that the style is different. Most books are written from a man's perspective. Even novels featuring women such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are basically interpreted from the perspective of men, while Pride and Prejudice are obviously full of women's thoughts, including world outlook and lifestyle. This is best reflected in the writing materials: if he is a male writer, most of his works are thrilling (just a matter of strength), the most wonderful passage in this book is Wickham eloping with Elizabeth's sister (and the ending is not tragic), and the worst thing the author can think of is simply cheating between some people; One thing that runs through the whole article is how a mother marries her daughter. This series of facts shows the femininity of this book. Of course, there were few such books at that time, so I think this is the great success of this book.
A good novel should reflect the style of an era, and in this respect, this book is also quite successful. After reading this book, it is not difficult to form the situation of European women's society at that time-all women are proud of getting married, no matter who they marry, marriage has become the only goal of women's life, and real feelings are few and far between, which is hard to understand. It is these that the author profoundly exposes and criticizes.
Speaking of shortcomings, I want to compare it with other books: in terms of language skills, it is not as good as The Count of Monte Cristo; As far as the twists and turns of the story are concerned, it is not as good as Gone with the Wind. As far as the height of social display is concerned, it is not as good as Gao Laotou. As far as the psychological description of characters is concerned, it is better to be red and black. But after all, these defects are largely determined by the social reality it wants to describe.
After reading this book, I want to make a comparison with Gone with the Wind. These two books are too similar in story information and plot development, even the characters are the same: Elizabeth corresponds to Scarlett, Darcy corresponds to Rhett, Bentley corresponds to Vichy, and Jane corresponds to Melanie. The relationship between the first two is from emotional freezing to warming, and then to intense; The latter two always feel the same. The only difference is that Pride and Prejudice is set in peace, while the latter is set in war. Just think, if Bentley is put in troubled times, he will be as down and out as Vichy.
In the fierce struggle and transformation of feelings, this is unparalleled. Gone with the Wind is set in the war, so the emotional conflict is naturally easy to show, and these are the artistic effects that Pride and Prejudice are not easy to achieve. Gone with the Wind is also very successful in the whole war and post-war social problems, so the realm of this book has been sublimated from children's affair to deep thinking about the country and society, which is what Pride and Prejudice lacks.
Judging from the artistry of the whole book, Pride and Prejudice is indeed inferior to Gone with the Wind. But this is not difficult to find and understand after deep thinking. As a female writer, Austen does have her limitations in artistic perception, which can be forgiven. So until now, I still firmly believe that Pride and Prejudice does have many advantages, and it makes sense for Mao Mu to list it as one of the top ten famous novels in the world.
After reading Pride and Prejudice, I have read many world famous books. When I first read Pride and Prejudice, I had a feeling that I couldn't put it down.
This book has no grand historical background. It happened in a rural life, which made people feel very calm and natural.
There is no serious social contradiction in Pride and Prejudice. The author truly describes the small world around her, especially the storm of marriage and love between gentlemen and ladies, with the unique and meticulous observation of women.
What attracts me more is the little entanglement and hesitation of the hero and heroine in the process of slowly entering love, which truly depicts the process of love and the actions of men and women to try to guess each other's thoughts.
It is precisely because of the arrogance and prejudice before this love came into being that a love didn't come so easily. In all kinds of misunderstandings and conflicts, it shows the psychological activities of the characters in detail, thus embodying the characters of the main characters, making the story develop in the right direction and the ending come out smoothly.
Comment on Pride and Prejudice, a pleasing novel and a beautiful story.
The article describes some stories about bonet's daughter. The eldest daughter, Ji 'an, is gentle, kind and beautiful. She fell in love with Bentley, a rich boy, at first sight, but it brought a turning point at a critical moment. Elizabeth Li Qing, the second daughter, was smart, ambitious and opinionated, and met Darcy in her youth, which was in line with the aristocratic millions. However, due to Darcy's aloof and eccentric personality, Elizabeth's prejudice against him is also very serious. They obviously love each other but refuse to admit it, and they continue to hurt each other with words. Fortunately, they finally dispelled their mistakes and became lovers.
I benefited a lot from reading this novel. Among our people, there are many very modest people, but there are also some arrogant people. These arrogant people are sometimes annoying. They have eyes on their heads and despise others. In fact, arrogance is a shortcoming in forming a character in the environment. Children in China are regarded by their parents as holding "the model of the little emperor" since childhood. "If you have been pampered since childhood, how can you not be arrogant? Therefore, I think that we should not be biased against arrogant people, but reflect on ourselves more deeply to see if we are arrogant, and we should learn not to worry and tire our parents in our own affairs in the future.
As the book says: "Everyone has a proud heart. As long as we have a little strength, they will feel particularly great. But although pride and vanity have the same meaning, they are actually different self-feelings. Pride is a feeling, vanity needs to involve others' overestimation of themselves, so people are proud but not vain, which is understandable.
The review of Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel, which impressed me for a long time. It mainly describes the love story between my favorite Elizabeth and a rich and proud Darcy.
The story begins with the arrival of a group of rich people who rented a house near Bennet. At a ball, Elizabeth left such a bad impression on Darcy's first pride that she refused Darcy's first proposal. Darcy was very surprised at Elizabeth's refusal, so he loved Elizabeth even more.
Elizabeth's disgust made Darcy aware of his shortcomings. He didn't get angry because of Elizabeth's censure, but changed his previous arrogant attitude. During Elizabeth's trip to Darcy manor. Darcy is very kind to her uncle and aunt, and has changed his arrogant attitude.
When one of Elizabeth's sisters eloped with Wickham, Darcy helped Elizabeth find her sister and prevented her sister's reputation from being damaged. No one knew that he helped the Bennett family. Darcy's many changes eliminated Elizabeth's prejudice. Finally, their marriage ended.
This story is based on daily life and reflects the life and love of a conservative and closed English town. It reflects the author's view on marriage, that is, it is wrong to marry for property, money and status, and it is foolish to consider these factors.
In fact, Darcy's pride reflects the gap between their status. Because of his pride, there is no ideal marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy. Judging from the different attitudes of Darcy's two marriage proposals, it embodies women's pursuit of independence of personality and equality of rights, and Elizabeth is a progressive figure in her image.
Comment 9 on Pride and Prejudice She is an ordinary girl, isn't she? Have an ordinary family, an ordinary experience and an ordinary appearance. She is also a special girl. She is not greedy for glory, content with poverty, neither humble nor supercilious. Even in front of those "people with status", she still walks towards the truth, and she laughs at all kinds of insults. Such a girl lives a free and easy life of her own every day.
What I like most about this movie is not the rich and luxurious mansion, nor the beautiful mountains and rivers, nor the beautiful and romantic love. Instead, the heroine sat quietly on the slightly swaying swing, and the warm sun shone on her white face. Everything is so dreamy and full of happiness …
Isn't life just a swinging swing? No matter how hard, once and for all. In the final analysis, it will return to the original point, and the intensity will only change the scenery along the way. So, why pursue fame and wealth? That will only make the short life more empty, and in the endless pursuit, what will be lost will be the most beautiful scenery. When we return to the original point and suddenly look back, we realize that the journey of a lifetime is just a fixed trajectory. All kinds of people go along the track, starting with life and ending with death. The only difference is that different eyes see different scenery.
In fact, life is really simple, but it is the four unchanging processes of birth, aging, illness and death. Everyone can't choose a starting point and an ending point. All we can change is how to live and how to die. If we really understand the true meaning of life, we will be deeply moved. We will brand such a sentence in our hearts-life is precious and love is more expensive. If we are free, we can throw them both.
If you have parents who run around for you, lovers who accompany you to the end of your life, and friends who share weal and woe with you, life will reach its due height. We should love life with gratitude.
I want to sit quietly on the swing in a sunny afternoon, listen to the music of life, see the clouds rolling and the ebb and flow.
After reading Pride and Prejudice, 10, this novel was skimmed in junior high school, only pursuing the plot, without seriously understanding its essence. This serious rereading has benefited me a lot.
1. Prejudice is an emotional identity attitude that is difficult to change once it is initially identified, which will make you unable to see the truth of the matter clearly. Although Jane in the novel seems to me to be set too perfectly, her equal attitude towards people deeply touched me. I was deeply impressed by what Jane told Elizabeth, to the general effect that we can't prove him wrong, and we can't judge whether he is guilty just by hearing about it. If he is wrong, he must find a witness to prove that he is wrong and that the witness is right.
From Jane and Elizabeth, I learned to look at a person completely instead of labeling others on one or two small things.
2. British etiquette. My biggest feeling is that the British etiquette is very complicated, but very elegant. Although you hate someone again, you must be polite and tactful. People often say that I am outspoken, so I should study hard in the future. It's not that complicated and delicate, but it should be tactful and polite.
3. The simple language of this novel. Now I can feel more and more what Mr. Lu Xun means by taking Jane as the essence of the novel. Really simple language, which is the most test of the writer's basic skills. The story supported by simple language must be wonderful, which is really difficult. But Austin did it! Her story is not thrilling, full of reason and morality, and thought-provoking.
4. A truly mature marriage is based on mutual mature love, and you can't just get married for various reasons like Charlotte or Lydia.
