Jane Austen was born in a parish priest's family in Steventon town and received a good family education. The main textbook is her father's literary collection. The popular novels of the Austin family are mostly vulgar pastimes. Her schoolwork in her girlhood is a parody of such popular novels, which forms the ironic tone in her works. Her six novels Sense and Sensibility (18 1 1), Pride and Prejudice (18 13) and Mansfield Garden (1 8/kloc-0). 8 18) and Persuasion (186558) Jane Austen did not walk out of the limited space imposed on herself. She didn't write a story about a wealthy family ―― although she knew something about the aristocratic family on the corner of North Hampton. The contradictions and conflicts in describing love and marriage reflect the characteristics of English society in1late 8th century/early 9th century. Comic scenes are often used to ridicule people's despicable weaknesses such as stupidity, selfishness, power and blind self-confidence. Austen's novels appeared at the beginning of19th century, sweeping away the popular pseudo-romanticism at that time, inheriting and developing the excellent British realistic tradition in18th century, and preparing for the climax of realistic novels in19th century, which played an important role in connecting the preceding with the following.

Among them, Pride and Prejudice is a rare treasure of Universal Library, which is listed as one of the top ten novels in the world by Mao Mu. It takes the love and marriage of young men and women as the theme, and the love entanglement of the hero and heroine as the main line, and describes four marriages, which has become the most comic and fascinating work of the author.

Austin clearly defined the "good or bad" standard of marriage. There are two kinds of unfortunate marriages: one is completely based on the economy, like Charlotte and Collins; Like Lydia and Wycombe, it is purely based on beauty. On the contrary, Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bentley, their marriage is based on love, which is a truly happy marriage. Elizabeth, in particular, first rejected Darcy, and then accepted it, fully stating: "You can never get married without love."

Secondly, since falling in love and getting married is a major event related to lifelong happiness, we should be careful and not let superficial phenomena blind our eyes. Elizabeth was prejudiced against Darcy because of his neglect, and when Wycombe, who was "personable", courted her, she took a favorable view of him. It was only after listening to his shameless remarks that her prejudice and hatred against Darcy deepened. Later, she blamed herself that vanity had done such a stupid thing. Facts have proved that "first impression" is unreliable, and prejudice is more terrible than ignorance.

In addition, marriage is not only a personal problem, but also a social problem. Lydia's elopement has caused panic among the whole family and even all relatives and friends, because everyone knows that if this scandal leads to a scandal, it will not only ruin Lydia's reputation, but also implicate her relatives and friends, especially her borrowed sister, and it will be difficult to find a decent home. Later, because of Darcy's rescue, Lydia didn't have a "short slip and long regret". On the contrary, the successful marriage between Elizabeth and Jane naturally brings hope and opportunities to the other two sisters. This is what the author tells us: people should not patronize themselves, but also be responsible for their relatives, friends and society. Although it is an ideological liberated society now, in China, influenced by traditional ideas, whether marriage is happy or not is still a very important factor.

British scholar H walpole said: "The world is a comedy to be understood with reason, and a tragedy to be understood with emotion." Austin understood the world rationally, and created a comedy about human feelings. There are two interesting people in the book. Mrs. Bennett is a woman who is "mentally retarded, ignorant and moody". Because she is eager to marry a woman, she lives in wishful thinking. Every time she meets a "rich bachelor", she regards it as the "legal property" of one of her daughters. Reverend Collins is a fool who combines conceit and humility. On the one hand, he is inferior to the noble Mrs. Delport, on the other hand, he is pretentious to others and often lives in arrogant fantasies. Austin's satirical art is not only manifested in the comedy of some characters, but also in the comic handling of many plots, and also incorporates the satirical conception of the whole story, making reality mock people's subjective imagination.

Dialogue is the basic material and means of shaping characters in literary creation. On the other hand, Austen is good at using the differences in motivation and understanding between the speaker, the listener and the reader to create multi-level intonation, which makes her dialogue vivid, full of personality, rich in meaning and intriguing. For example, when Darcy invited Elizabeth to dance, Miss Bingley played a Scottish ditty: "Miss Bennet, do you really want to seize this opportunity to dance a Lille?" Although this is arrogant, he still wants to please Elizabeth subjectively, but Elizabeth doesn't sound convinced. She thinks that the Lille dance is a local dance, and Darcy invited her to dance this dance to despise her "low taste", so she replied solemnly, "I don't want to dance Lille at all-now, if you are good, despise me." Darcy replied, "I really dare not." This sentence may be interpreted in many ways: Elizabeth only regards each other as attentive, Miss Bingley may interpret it as a sign of wanting to get married, and readers may find that Darcy may be thinking, "This charming lady is really something. I can only give up this time and be cautious in the future. " Subtle conversations like this are unforgettable.

In a word, in Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen shows her most thorough understanding of human nature in the most exquisite language, and her humor is everywhere, which makes people feel dazzling and full of interest.
