Pride and Prejudice is Austin's masterpiece. This work is based on daily life, which is contrary to the content and artificial writing method of sentimental novels popular in society at that time, and vividly reflects the life and social conditions of British towns and villages in a conservative and closed state from the end of 18 to the beginning of 19. This novel with social customs not only attracted a large number of readers at that time, but still gives readers unique artistic enjoyment today.

In this novel, Austin shows the different attitudes of girls from middle-class families in villages and towns to marriage and love through the different treatment of Bennett's five daughters to lifelong events, which reflects the author's own view on marriage: it is wrong to marry for property, money and status; It is also foolish to get married without considering the above factors. So she is not only against getting married for money, but also against taking marriage as a joke. She emphasizes the importance of an ideal marriage and regards the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of an ideal marriage. Elizabeth, the heroine in the book, comes from a small landlord family and is loved by Darcy, the son of a rich man. Despite the gap between family status and wealth, Darcy proposed to her, but she refused. Elizabeth's misunderstanding and prejudice against him is one reason, but the most important thing is that she hates his arrogance. Because Darcy's arrogance is actually a reflection of the status difference, as long as there is such arrogance, he and Elizabeth can't have the same thoughts and feelings and ideal marriage. Later, Elizabeth observed Darcy's behavior and a series of actions with her own eyes, especially seeing that he changed his arrogant attitude in the past and eliminated his misunderstanding and prejudice, thus concluding a happy marriage with him. Elizabeth's different attitudes towards Darcy's several marriage proposals actually reflect women's pursuit of personality independence and equal rights. This is the progressive significance of Elizabeth's image.

From an early age, Elizabeth is smart, resourceful, brave, far-sighted, self-respecting and good at thinking. As far as a young lady waiting for the word at that time is concerned, this is commendable. It is precisely because of this quality that she has an opinion on love and has a happy family with Darcy.

In Pride and Prejudice, Austin also wrote about the marriages of several sisters and girlfriends of Elizabeth, as a foil, in contrast to the heroine's ideal marriage. For example, although Charlotte and Collins lived a comfortable material life after marriage, there was no love between them. This kind of marriage is actually a social tragedy hidden under the gorgeous coat.

Although the theme of Austen's novels is relatively narrow and the stories are quite plain, she is good at creating vivid characters in everyday ordinary things, whether Elizabeth and Darcy, whom the author thinks worthy of recognition, or Wickham and Collins, who are satirized, are real and touching. At the same time, Austin's language is tempered. She pays attention to humor and satire in the art of dialogue, and often uses humorous language to set off the personality characteristics of characters. This artistic innovation makes her works unique.

Excerpts from books

"Did Jane regard anyone as a bad person? No matter what kind of person, no matter what his past behavior is, how can she believe that a person will have such a heart unless it is proved that that person is really bad? But when it comes to Wickham, Jane knows as well as I do. We all know that he is a total slut. He has neither personality nor decency. He speaks insincerely and speaks softly. "

This remark aroused Mrs Gardiner's great curiosity. She wanted to know how her nephew and daughter knew these things, so she asked loudly, "Do you really know all these things?"

Elizabeth blushed and replied, "Of course I know. I told you about his shameless behavior towards Mr Darcy that day. People treat him so generously, but the last time you were in Longbourn, you heard what he said about people. There are many things I can't say and it's not worth saying, but he can't tell you the facts about the Pemberley family. He described Miss Darcy as such a person that at first I completely regarded her as a proud, indifferent and annoying lady. However, he knows the opposite. He must know in his heart that Miss Darcy is as amiable as we have seen, and some of them are not artificial. "

"Don't Lydia completely don't know these things? Since you and Jane know each other so well, how can she know nothing about it? "

"Bad is bad here. I didn't know the truth until I went to Kent myself and often stayed with Mr. Darcy and his relative Colonel Fitzwilliam. By the time I got home, the militia in so-and-so county was ready to leave Meryton in a week or two. I told Jane everything about the situation at that time. Jane and I don't think it's necessary to tell anyone, because since all the neighbors have a good impression of Wickham, who will benefit if everyone's impression of him turns bad? Even when I decided to let Lydia go with Mrs. Forster, I didn't want Lydia to know his character. It never occurred to me that she would be cheated by him. You can believe that I never expected such consequences. "

"So, when they left for Brighton, you still didn't care. I didn't expect them to fall in love, did you? "

"I didn't expect this. I remember none of them showed love, you know, as long as they saw a little trace at first, they wouldn't talk in a family like ours. When he first came to the army, she liked him very much. We were all like that. In the first month or two, there was not a girl in Meryton who was not fascinated by him; But he has no special respect for her. Later, her infatuation with him disappeared, because other officers in the militia paid more attention to her, so her heart turned to them again. "

They talked about this interesting topic over and over again along the way, talking about what is worth worrying about and what can be hoped for; What do you think? I really can't talk about anything new, so I have to shut up for a while. But after a while, we talked about it again; This can be imagined. Elizabeth can't get rid of it. She felt sorry for herself for this matter, and she could not feel at ease for a moment, and she could not forget it for a moment.

They hurried on their way, stayed overnight and arrived at Longbourn at dinner the next day. Elizabeth was glad not to keep Jane waiting.

They entered the paddock, and when Uncle Gardiner's children saw a carriage, they rushed to the steps and stood. When the carriage arrived at the door, the children were pleasantly surprised, laughing and jumping around. This was the first time that the adults were welcomed happily and warmly after they came back.

Elizabeth jumped out of the carriage, kissed each child in a hurry and ran to the door, while Jane was running downstairs from her mother's room to meet her.

Elizabeth gave her a warm hug and both sisters burst into tears. Elizabeth couldn't wait to ask if she had heard the news of the eloping couple.

"I haven't heard any news yet," Jane replied. "Fortunately, my dear uncle is back. I hope everything will go well from now on."

"Is Dad in town?"

"He went to town. He left on Tuesday. I told you in my letter. "

"Do you often hear from him?"

"Only received a letter from him. It was sent on Wednesday. In a few words, the letter only said that he had arrived safely and told me his detailed address, which I specially asked him to write when I left. In addition, he only said that there is important news to write. "

"mom? How is the family? "

"I don't think my mother is bad, but she is mentally frustrated. She is upstairs; She must be happy to see you back. She is still in her dressing room. Thankfully, Mary and Katie are fine. "

"But how are you?" Elizabeth asked loudly again. "You look pale. How much thought you must have spent! "

My sister told her that she was fine. Just as Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were busy with their children, the two sisters had just finished these words when they saw a large group of men, women and children coming, and the conversation had to be terminated. Jane went to her uncle and aunt to express her welcome and thanks, laughing and crying for a while.

After everyone entered the living room, my uncle and aunt asked Elizabeth the question she had just asked, and immediately found that Jane had nothing to say. Jane is always optimistic because of her charity. Even now, she is not disheartened, she is still counting on everything to have a happy ending. One morning, she will receive a letter, either from her father or from Lydia, which will report the incident in detail and perhaps announce the couple's marriage.

After chatting for a while, everyone went to Mrs. Bennet's room. As expected, Mrs. Bennet cried and sighed when she saw them. First she scolded Wickham for his despicable behavior, and then she complained about her illness and injustice. She scolded almost everyone except one, which was the main reason why she doted on her daughter blindly and made her make a big mistake.

She said, "If I had followed my plan and sent my family to Brighton, this would not have happened. Lydia is poor and lovely. The trouble is that nobody cares. How can Mrs. Foster trust her to leave them? I think they must have neglected her too much. A girl like her would never do this if someone took good care of her. I always feel that they don't deserve to take care of her; But I have always been at the mercy of others. Poor kid! Mr. Bennet has left. As soon as he meets Wickham, he will definitely fight for his life. He will definitely be beaten to death by Wickham. What can we do? The Collins family will kick us out before his bones are cold; Brother, if you don't help us, I really don't know what to do. " (Chapter 47)

abstract

"It has become a universally acknowledged truth that all rich bachelors always want to marry a wife. Every time such a bachelor moves to a new place, his neighbors have no idea about his temperament and views. However, because this truth has long been deeply rooted in people's minds, people always regard him as the property that one of their daughters deserves. "

This is the opening passage of the masterpiece Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, a famous British woman writer, which leads to a classic story about love and value in Britain at the beginning of19th century.

As we all know, in this novel, Austin shows the different attitudes of girls from middle-class families in villages and towns to marriage and love through the different treatment of Bennett's five daughters for lifelong events, which also reflects the author's own thinking about love and marriage: it is wrong to marry just for property, money and status; It is also foolish to get married without considering the above factors. Therefore, she not only opposes marriage for money, but also opposes marriage as a child's play. She emphasizes the importance of an ideal marriage and regards the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of an ideal marriage.

Elizabeth bennet (keira knightley), the heroine of the story, comes from a small landlord family and has four sisters: sister Jane Bennet, sister Mary Bennet, Katie Bennet and Letia Bennet. The monotonous and slightly calm life of the five sisters was accompanied by the arrival of two young people.

Film evaluation

Pride and Prejudice is Austin's masterpiece. This work is based on daily life, which is contrary to the content and artificial writing method of sentimental novels popular in society at that time, and vividly reflects the life and social conditions of British towns and villages in a conservative and closed state from the end of 18 to the beginning of 19. This novel with social customs not only attracted a large number of readers at that time, but still gives readers unique artistic enjoyment today. And so far, there are more than a dozen film and television works adapted from this famous book, but there are very few excellent works in it. Perhaps, only the 1948 version of Pride and Prejudice can leave us a little impression. The film has a good performance in all aspects, and there are well-known music circulating outside the film.

Judging from the original novel, Elizabeth is smart, resourceful, brave, far-sighted, self-respecting and good at thinking. For the young lady of a big family at that time, this is very valuable. It is precisely because of this quality that she has an independent opinion on the issue of love, which led to her and Darcy going through various twists and turns and forming a happy family. In addition, in the story, the author also describes the marriage of Elizabeth's sister and best friend as a foil, which contrasts with the heroine's ideal marriage. For example, although Charlotte and Collins lived a comfortable material life after marriage, there was no love between them. This kind of marriage is actually a social tragedy hidden under a gorgeous coat. ...

Pride and prejudice major film and television edition

Version 40

The advantage is that the actor is famous, Darcy is handsome and Elizabeth is beautiful, but Auliffe comes from Shakespeare's plays.

Different from drama types, drama actors generally have more stage effects and exaggeration than ordinary movie actors, which also makes Austria

Liv's performance in the film was criticized by film critics. In contrast, the heroine's performance is better, but it seems to be too successful.

Mature and perfect, more like an elegant lady in her thirties than a girl in her early twenties.

Generally speaking, the film does not conform to the original spirit, and Mrs. Catherine has become a positive role, playing between men and women.

The role of matchmaker plays a matching role; There are spies, dissatisfaction and arguments between the hero and heroine, but it seems to be based on

On the basis of mutual affection, it seems to be playing an elegant game in which both sides know the answer. There are happy movies.

Early Hollywood style.

80 edition

The choice of actors in this edition is commendable, and it is very close to the illustrations in the original "Pride and Prejudice", almost

It was chosen entirely according to the illustrations. Especially Darcy, Collins, Mrs. Bennet, Lady Catherine and Deborah.

The image of elder sister (beautiful, elegant but morbid); The sisters in the class are also good, and Charlotte is gentle and rational, almost reaching the beauty.

It's beautiful. Lady Catherine and Darcy are really alike when they look serious.

This version of Elizabeth is the most gentle and refined (when she hates Darcy, the most incisive sentence she said is: "I hope Darcy goes first."

Marry Miss De Bourgh so that Lady Catherine can be his mother-in-law! "), humorous, reserved,

But soft outside and rigid inside, gentleness implies self-esteem and keenness, profound thoughts and frequent self-reflection; Elizabethan

After I refused Darcy's proposal for the first time and read Darcy's letter, I thought deeply and saw my vanity clearly.

After the "epiphany", the character's mind was sublimated, and the change of feelings for Darcy became more natural.

Darcy shows the characteristics of arrogance and inhumanity, and also shows his concern for Elizabeth, which really makes.

People can't figure out why, but imagine if he shows a little affection, which is described in Pride and Prejudice.

Among the prodigies, people will soon find and talk about it.

This version better embodies the sisterhood among the five sisters in the class. In contrast, in the 95 th edition, Elizabeth only loves her sister.

, sharper for other sisters. Although Jane is not as beautiful as a fairy, her manners are particularly elegant and beautiful, especially when she meets you for the first time.

It describes in detail the love at first sight between Shi and Mr. Bingley, with deep affection and courtesy. Collins' performance is very good.

A ridiculous man, but he doesn't bear a grudge against Elizabeth. He is still a gentleman. There are also couples between Charlotte and Collins.

Use, although it is out of helplessness. Miss Bingley is petite and elegant, and inadvertently shows a sharp snobbery towards Darcy.

Mr. Wang is infatuated with each other and sometimes ridicules each other. If Elizabeth hadn't intervened, there would have been friendship between the two men.

Maybe something will happen in the future. Lady Catherine is a beautiful but very powerful and formidable female character, because

This Elizabeth is even more valuable in resisting its arrogance, but in the 95 th edition, she is an old man of little use.

Madam, after quarreling with Elizabeth, she was defeated immediately, which is not in obvious contrast with Elizabeth's politeness and solemnity.

Not afraid of power.

Another feature of the version is that the soundtrack is very fresh and concise, especially the opening song and the ending song, which are full of tranquility, beauty and quality.

I still often appreciate the simple and melodious English country atmosphere.

The main disadvantages of this version are: 1, the indoor scene is narrow, especially when dancing. 2、

The adaptation skill of TV series is not enough, and there are too many inner monologues. Some dialogues are even based on the psychological activities of the original characters. Da Xi Dana

This letter is also completely read, procrastinating and monotonous. After all, novels and TV plays are different carriers. This is the biggest flaw of the play.

3. Darcy's role is stiff, unnatural, too rigid, arrogant and serious, but not affectionate enough and not changing enough.

People are convinced. This defect is also fatal. 4. This is the most elegant version of all the characters, only elegant, more elegant and more.

More elegant, even the frivolous Lydia is more elegant and beautiful than the later version. If Darcy and Bentley are interested in this course,

If the Nate family is not satisfied, it can only be said that the upper class at that time was really picky. 5. Elizabeth is very beautiful sometimes.

But the facial features are a little rough, and some angles are not very good, especially when crying. However, in my mind, she is still

There is a version that is closest to Elizabeth's image. Darcy, too, is handsome, but still flawed (slightly thinner lips,

From different angles, you will feel incredibly handsome.

95 edition

In the choice of characters, generally speaking, it is not as good as the 80' s version, especially Miss Bentley, which is neither beautiful nor elegant.

It is difficult to pose a threat to Elizabeth, which is the biggest casting failure. And Mr. Wickham's casting is not good. I really don't understand why.

Can touch girls' feelings. Lady Catherine is an old lady and her role is not smart enough; Jane is not elegant enough; Colin

Alice is too short, and sometimes there is malice in her words and deeds (according to Austin's taste, there is no one in the book except Wickham)

Bad people, only ridiculous people and rational people). And Elizabeth: Austin thinks Elizabeth is slim and has fine hair.

It should be golden, often wearing bright yellow dresses and simple and bright green jewelry (Austin wrote to her sister

These are mentioned in the letter), which are not expressed. In contrast, the 80 th edition did it.

But the most commendable thing is that the performances of the main characters in this edition are in place. It can be said that the actor's interpretation is obscure.

Covered up the deviation of external image. Mr. Darcy, in particular, if the 80 th edition embodies form, then the 95 th edition has both spirit and form.

In other words, its god completely makes up for its lack of shape (if there is any shortage). It can only be said that Darcy's successful interpretation makes

The 95th edition of Pride and Prejudice has reached a new peak. Elizabeth's interpretation is just right, but the role determines it.

The position is still too sharp and exposed, gentle and witty, but it can cater to the aesthetic orientation of modern people's personality on the whole. this

The greatest advantage of an actor is that, to paraphrase Darcy, he looks "ok" at first glance, but the more he looks, the more he can laugh.

Vivid and beautiful, which is also very rare. Eye contact and information transmission between the protagonists are in place, and love is unfolding at different levels.

Quietly entering, convincing and intoxicating, conforms to the implicit and rational love view of 18 and 19 century.

In the film, the indoor scene is magnificent and the scenery is beautiful. Even the actors pay more attention to manners and eyes, and the costume props are excellent.

The fineness of the whole movie is almost comparable to that of the movie. The adaptation skills are profound, from books to TV plays.

Cross. But the ending is flawed, Darcy's communication with Elizabeth after his successful proposal and the ups and downs of the plot.

Completely deleted, while the church gets married and the priest makes a concluding speech, which is vulgar and redundant.

2005 edition

This version is quite special.

I feel the same way with many viewers. The actor selection failed, and his appearance was not good. The whole is reflected in the previous version.

The feeling of elegance has been abandoned at this point.

According to the records in the book, Bennett's annual income is 2000 pounds. This is the standard. You know, in the past few decades,

In Jane Eyre, a tutor (similar to today's little white-collar worker) costs 30 pounds a year (according to today's little white collar)

If the income is 30,000, the annual income of the class will be at least 2 million); In his later Sherlock Holmes era, in.

An income of 700 pounds is a very respectable squire family. According to the comments of British history and novelists, Bennett's family belongs to

Gentleman class, with ancestral property, manor, carriage, housekeeper, servant, groom, cook and many maids, should be upper class.

The lower class in the meeting belongs to the feudal ruling class, not the emerging middle class, and the upper class is divided into the upper and lower classes and the poor.

The difference between the rich and the poor, like Darcy, is already a minority and extremely rich upper-middle class, and all the property of the class belongs to him.

People have the right to inherit, but their daughters can't, which leads to the determination of the Bennett couple to marry their daughters, and also leads to the relative status of the hero and heroine.

Inequality. But it is precisely because of the equivalence of the status of the main classes that Elizabeth will say that their combination is "neck and neck"

Even Lady Catherine did not deny this.

However, in the 2005 film, Ban Jia looks definitely not "upper class", and it is difficult to use "noble" in his manners.

Described as a whole "wild" family, Mr. Bennet had a good time and had the good temper of an old man staying in the study.

A slightly eccentric aristocratic gentry turned into an enlightened rich peasant with a good temper.

Let's talk about the main defects first: First, I feel that I have created the most failed Mr. Bentley, and the image is just like leaving school.

A boy who has seen a girl. Second, the image of Elizabeth. Elizabeth in the film has a great personality and dares to love and hate.

Enthusiastic and thin (this figure is popular now), but neither personality nor appearance seems to match.

In line with Austin's aesthetic taste. Moreover, the film does not show its rich connotation, often smirking, but always watching love.

Pocket book, the seed of love silly girl, especially when she first arrived in Pemberley, except for a little rough.

In addition to vulgarity, it almost makes people doubt his snobbery, and I don't understand that this kind of performance can still be selected for the Oscar actress candidate list.

. Darcy doesn't have the arrogant and lofty external feeling deliberately described in the book, and he doesn't look like a person in the upper class. At most, he is one.

An educated ordinary gentleman and a boy who fell in love with a beautiful girl at first sight for no reason are not calm enough.

More than pure. In this case, the verbal communication between the two is also slightly naive.

However, things always split in two. This film can't be said to be a failure, but it can only be said that there are many directors and producers.

The writer's personal feelings are "different" and interpreted as "eccentric", which some viewers can't accept.

First of all, the roughness of its costumes, props and characters is deliberately caused, because the 80 and 95 versions of Zhuyu came first.

This is actually a very simple thing.

Secondly, the scene of dancing at the beginning of the film is spectacular and crowded, which is simply thrilling. Jane and Elizabeth

It's really hard to stand out from everyone and be loved. A lot of processing in this movie really gives people.

With a sense of uncertainty and drift.

Thirdly, the music is beautiful, especially the part where Darcy and Elizabeth dance alone, which is very strange and lonely.

That strange and unpredictable smell is really special. In a word, the music part is quite wonderful.

Fourthly, some details are very touching, especially when the hero and heroine meet georgiana in Pemberley.

When talking about whether Elizabeth is quite good at playing the piano, there is a pause between Darcy's words, as if watching Elizabeth speak.

And when I was so absorbed, I forgot what to say and immediately lost my temper consciously. That kind of look is quite in place.

Fifth, the picture has a special texture, but it feels more like the scenery in Wuthering Heights, desolate and lonely.

Sadness, even the flashing sunshine, makes people feel cold in the morning.
