第一篇：小說《傲慢與偏見》讀后感

初讀這本書還是在我初中的時(shí)候，可就是從那時(shí)起，每每想起那書中所寫，都忍不住想要再次拜讀一番，想要再去體會(huì)一下那書中飽滿的每一個(gè)人物性格，想要再去身臨其境的去感受那由相互的不屑到最終的淪陷的反轉(zhuǎn)愛情，想要去聆聽那恍如一見鐘情卻曲折反復(fù)的愛情親歷者的心聲，想要去思考女子嫁給金錢的當(dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)背景，想要去了解為愛放棄一切的勇氣…想要感受的太多太多，想必這就是可稱此書為經(jīng)典的原因吧。

書中我最喜歡的人物或說是故事情節(jié)莫過于出生于平凡家庭的伊麗莎白和貴族達(dá)西的跌宕起伏的故事了。初見的舞會(huì)上，眼神的交匯，是兩人后來如此種種的起點(diǎn)；后來互相的不止的爭(zhēng)執(zhí)與矛盾，是兩人最終合而為一的不羈的經(jīng)歷。出生于貴族而被賦予了與生俱來的傲慢，冷漠的達(dá)西，或許他自己也不曾想會(huì)被如此一個(gè)出身平凡卻桀驁不馴，不貪?rùn)?quán)貴之女征服。作為旁觀者，起先我為他們每一次的不相讓感到焦急，但是后來想想，對(duì)此卻是有了更多的欣慰。因?yàn)樗麄儾粸槲镔|(zhì)所困，最終在彼此了解的前提下，一個(gè)嫁給了愛情，一個(gè)娶到了愛情。

而其實(shí)在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中，不論是戀人，還是朋友，相處的方式很多很多，但我覺得像伊麗莎白和達(dá)西這樣的狀態(tài)，才是最自然最真實(shí)的。每個(gè)人的家庭背景，所處的生活環(huán)境都是大不相同的，進(jìn)而其人生觀價(jià)值觀也必定是不同的，看待事物及處事的思維及方式也肯定是不全相同的。而這些所有的不同，都是會(huì)難以避免的造成人與人相處間的矛盾的，而關(guān)鍵不過是在于矛盾大小，及矛盾過后雙方的處理。書中的伊麗莎白和達(dá)西，每每有爭(zhēng)執(zhí)或是抑制了自己的內(nèi)心情感后，內(nèi)心的話都會(huì)在一定的時(shí)間如火山般爆發(fā)出來，他們只想把內(nèi)心的真實(shí)想法表達(dá)出來，即使這其中包含了許多的傲慢與偏見。

當(dāng)我們反觀當(dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)背景，處于那個(gè)時(shí)代的人，男人仿佛都傲慢的覺得女人需要依賴其經(jīng)濟(jì)才得以生活，便自詡為紳士，而女人們，特別是一些家庭負(fù)擔(dān)較重或社會(huì)地位低又或者是年齡較大的女子，卻會(huì)遭到社會(huì)的偏見對(duì)待。這無疑是社會(huì)所造成的必然現(xiàn)象，而就看身在其中的人，會(huì)如何去沖破這種社會(huì)的牢籠，而收獲到美好的人生。

生活于21世紀(jì)的我們，也與當(dāng)時(shí)的他們沒什么不同，我們也同樣處于一個(gè)有偏見，有傲慢的社會(huì)環(huán)境中，我們也需要去學(xué)會(huì)表達(dá)自我，學(xué)會(huì)個(gè)性化，學(xué)會(huì)在大趨勢(shì)相同的社會(huì)中成為具有獨(dú)特魅力的自我，唯有此，才能在人生道路中收獲到更多美好的東西，才能收獲到真摯的感情，穩(wěn)固的關(guān)系，一定的社會(huì)地位，富足的人生等等，才能讓人生傲于風(fēng)骨，偏出光彩！

I need to think more.Love seems to be the perpetual theme all over the world.But actually what is love? For most girls in 20s, love may mean everything to them.They seek for love bravely no matter what difficulties they may face.In their eyes, love is pure or even holy.However, those are just an ideal situation, n real life;people tend to find a balance between love and property.Pride and prejudice is Austin’s great work.Through the discussion of the different marriages and love, the writer demonstrates her concept about love and marriage: love and marriage is closely associated with property and society, however, love and marriage can not only be decided by the property and social status.An ideal marriage should be based on mutual affection, respect and the same interest.She rejects the marriage based only on wealth.Different people have different ideas upon marriage.By the description and discussion of the four marriages in the novel, we can see that Austen fully expresses her views on love and marriage.Only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual understanding and true love, but also by satirizing the marriage founded on the basis of origin and desire.The marriage based on social position and money can’t bring happiness in life.Aimless marriage and love are unpractical.Everything goes wrong for poor couples.Marriage based on wealth is not a fault.At least, it can offer us a better condition of life.Property is not everything in the life but without it, we can do nothing.This is called reality.But if you only married for wealth, you sell your liberty.The rest of your life might be miserable, and your marriage will filled with endless bitterness.更多熱門文章：

第三篇：傲慢與偏見讀后感

我的傲慢，我的偏見 ——讀《傲慢與偏見》有感

作為一名中文系的學(xué)生，我對(duì)外國(guó)文學(xué)還真涉獵不多。也曾硬著頭皮啃過幾本，終是不喜歡，也就丟開了。且不說外國(guó)人父子同名，母女同名，單單一個(gè)人還有昵稱、愛稱、簡(jiǎn)稱??各種“稱”讓人如墜霧中，有時(shí)通本看下來依舊不記得主人公全名，更不用說情節(jié)、內(nèi)容了。

讀《呼嘯山莊》等一些英國(guó)文學(xué)時(shí)，我總感覺氣氛太過壓抑，仿佛置身陰森恐怖的墓地，隨時(shí)會(huì)從墳?zāi)估锱莱鰝€(gè)僵尸勒住你的脖子；讀《巴黎圣母院》等一些法國(guó)文學(xué)時(shí)，我總感覺宗教的繁文縟節(jié)像裹足布一樣纏著我，弄得我寸步難行，為了能讀完，不得不跳著看，跳得連氣都喘不過來，更別提欣賞了；讀《太陽(yáng)照常升起》《麥田上的守望者》等一些美國(guó)文學(xué)時(shí)，我總感覺是一群一群又一群的人不斷地喝酒喝酒再喝酒，從舞會(huì)到酒吧，從香檳到白蘭地，沒完沒了；讀莎翁等一些外國(guó)戲劇時(shí)，我總感覺太過夸張，感情張揚(yáng)得令人覺得都把讀者當(dāng)傻帽了??

就這樣帶著偏見排斥著外國(guó)文學(xué)。

就仿佛看見一個(gè)陌生人在街上哭，哪怕哭得涕泗橫流，撕心裂肺，你也只是側(cè)頭同情地望上一眼。甚至你會(huì)覺得他很可惡，忍不住蹙著眉頭，心中暗暗咒罵：“死了娘老子啦，不能躲家里哭嗎？哭得我心煩意亂的。”可是，要是這個(gè)人是你的朋友、家人，甚至心上人，他一低頭，一皺眉，你就察覺出來了。等到他開始抽泣時(shí)，你已經(jīng)忍不住抱著他，滿眼的心疼，滿心的自責(zé)。要是他嚎啕大哭，你恨不得以己替之，眼里的心疼流了一地，心像被搓揉了一般，怎么也舒展不得。所謂的感同身受，原來有時(shí)候就算“身受”了，也不一定能“感同”。

我喜歡《紅樓夢(mèng)》的繁雜，仿佛是工筆畫，一筆一劃，勾描出一個(gè)再精致不過的家長(zhǎng)里短；我喜歡《雷雨》，那種山雨欲來風(fēng)滿樓的壓抑恰到好處，使人的心稍稍緊張又稍稍期待，愈來愈濃、愈來愈悶，最后一聲巨雷，炸開了一個(gè)酣暢淋漓；我喜歡《呼蘭河傳》，里面的風(fēng)土人情雖然新鮮卻并不讓人覺得陌生，仿佛前世的記憶，雖遙遠(yuǎn)但依舊親切，仿佛人們的四季，風(fēng)，霜，雨，雪的過著，霜打了，雨淋了，亙古不變；我喜歡《傾城之戀》，男歡女愛本就該欲說還休，猶抱琵琶半遮面，小小的猜忌，小小的賭氣，小小的算計(jì)，哪能天天拿個(gè)擴(kuò)音喇叭：“噢，朱麗葉！”

就這樣存著傲慢，癡迷于中國(guó)文學(xué)。我總試圖勸說自己再多讀一些外國(guó)作品，于是身邊時(shí)常帶著舍友推薦并相借的《傲慢與偏見》，每次到寒暑假手頭實(shí)在無書可讀之時(shí)翻上兩頁(yè)，又丟開去逛街、看電視去了。就這樣帶在身邊兩年，才看到達(dá)西與伊麗莎白第一次在舞會(huì)上相見。一日，正在吃西瓜，奶奶突然冒出一句：“你比較喜歡賓利還是達(dá)西？”我嗆了一下，臉漲得通紅，吐出一嘴西瓜籽，答非所問：“西瓜真好吃??”吃完西瓜，我來不及擦手就沖進(jìn)書房尋找那本《傲慢與偏見》，找來找去才發(fā)現(xiàn)在奶奶的枕頭旁邊躺著，于是我一歪身子，躺在奶奶的床上看了起來。

只半日功夫便全部翻完，合上書，我只覺得唇齒留香，回味無窮。先前對(duì)外國(guó)文學(xué)的看法頓時(shí)消失。原來，達(dá)西對(duì)伊麗莎白存著傲慢，伊麗莎白對(duì)達(dá)西有著偏見，而我，對(duì)外國(guó)文學(xué)既有傲慢也有偏見。我才是最鄙薄的人。

《傲慢與偏見》講了四對(duì)青年男女的故事——賓利和簡(jiǎn)，達(dá)西和伊麗莎白，威爾遜和莉迪亞，柯林斯和夏洛特。威爾遜和莉迪亞的婚姻建立在肉欲的基礎(chǔ)之上，沖動(dòng)而魯莽，看著他們揚(yáng)長(zhǎng)而去的馬車，我已感覺他們情淡愛弛之時(shí)就是他們婚姻土崩瓦解之日。柯林斯和夏洛特的婚姻建立在物質(zhì)的基礎(chǔ)之上，無奈而現(xiàn)實(shí)，看著他們的教父官邸，我已感覺他們的婚姻注定會(huì)索然無味，坐等枯老。

而賓利和簡(jiǎn)、達(dá)西和伊麗莎白的婚姻則完全是建立在愛情的基礎(chǔ)之上。賓利和簡(jiǎn)一見鐘情，雖然有達(dá)西和姐妹的阻撓，最終有情人終成眷屬。而達(dá)西和伊麗莎白則是好事多磨。男主角達(dá)西最初斷定，貝內(nèi)特家有那么多不利因素，幾個(gè)女兒很難找到有地位的男人，可后來恰恰是他娶了伊麗莎白。而伊麗莎白呢，她曾發(fā)誓決不嫁達(dá)西，她對(duì)達(dá)西先拒絕后接受，可最后還是做了達(dá)西夫人。書中關(guān)于愛情的精彩論述俯拾皆是。“在婚姻問題上，唯利是圖和小心翼翼，這兩者之間區(qū)別何在呢？”“假如一個(gè)女人愛上一個(gè)男人，只要女方不故意瞞住男方，男方一定看得出來。”“將愛情埋得太深，有時(shí)是一件壞事。如果一個(gè)女人遮蓋住對(duì)自己所鐘愛的男子的感情，她或許會(huì)失去得到他的機(jī)會(huì)。”“什么事都可以隨便，沒有愛情可千萬(wàn)不要結(jié)婚。”全書用一個(gè)個(gè)鮮活的情節(jié)闡述了這些道理，提出了新的婚姻觀，即為財(cái)產(chǎn)打算的婚姻是不幸福的，結(jié)婚只考慮財(cái)產(chǎn)是愚蠢的。將就門第的包辦婚姻不堪忍受，把婚姻當(dāng)兒戲毫不足取，理想的婚姻要以感情為基礎(chǔ)。

全書沒有太多的背景，只是以一種詼諧幽默的調(diào)子一氣呵成。其中對(duì)話居多，男女主角針鋒相對(duì)，妙語(yǔ)連珠，讓人看了忍俊不禁。比如第一卷第十章，達(dá)西趁賓利小姐彈起一支蘇格蘭小曲的當(dāng)兒，邀請(qǐng)伊麗莎白跳舞：“貝內(nèi)特小姐，你是不是很想抓住這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)跳一曲里爾舞？”達(dá)西明明為伊麗莎白一副既溫柔又調(diào)皮的神態(tài)著迷，卻嘴硬，傲慢之情溢于言表。“我知道，你是想讓我說一聲’想跳’，然后你就可以洋洋得意地蔑視我的低級(jí)趣味。但是，我一向就喜歡戳穿這種把戲，捉弄一下蓄意蔑視我的人。因此，我決定跟你說：我壓根不想跳里爾舞——現(xiàn)在你好樣的就蔑視我吧。”伊麗莎白一副任君宰割的樣子，達(dá)西只好恭敬地答道“實(shí)在不敢。”心里肯定對(duì)她既愛又忌。然而，這段對(duì)話在賓利小姐看來儼然打情罵俏，她恨得牙癢癢，真想把伊麗莎白攆回家，就常常冷言冷語(yǔ)，但又故意在達(dá)西面前嘲弄他對(duì)伊麗莎白的情意，撩撥得達(dá)西更加癡迷。就這樣一環(huán)套一環(huán)，一個(gè)個(gè)人物形象躍然紙上。

掩卷沉思，說到底，不過因?yàn)闆]有愛的緣故，本是極小的事，被放大一萬(wàn)倍，成了跨不過去的門檻。大凡名著，均是每一時(shí)代震撼智慧的學(xué)論、啟迪民智的典籍、打動(dòng)心靈的作品。但是青菜蘿卜各有所愛，惟有幽默是架在古今中外名著之間的橋梁，通過它你能順溜地涉古跋今，徜徉中外經(jīng)典之中。惟有愛情是普天男女永恒的話題，如人飲水、呼吸一般常見。男歡女愛，談情說愛原是人類本能。亞當(dāng)和夏娃，伏羲和女媧，達(dá)西與伊麗莎白，賈寶玉和林黛玉，天上人間男子與女子耳。

我和外國(guó)文學(xué)言和了，在《傲慢與偏見》的幫助下。

第四篇：傲慢與偏見讀后感

魏彩彩（文英）Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen(1775-1817), the author of Pride and Prejudice, was born in a rural town named Steve Burton.There are six brothers and one sister in her family.Austen did not go to regular school, but gained good family education from her father’s literary books.The Austen love to read popular novels, and the majority are some vulgar pastime-products.Her teenage papers are the imitations of this kind of novel, thus she formed the sarcastic tone in her works.It is well-known that “sentimental novel” and “gothic novel” are full of English literature from the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.However, Austen’s works are iconoclastic, which presents the daily life of the middle class and the countryside that have not been affected by the capitalist industrial revolution.In the book, Mr.Bennet, a small squire, has five unmarried daughters, and Mrs.Bennet is anxiously looking for satisfactory husbands for their daughters.At the very fist, Mr.Bingley appeared in the small town as the Bennets’ neighbor.He is a bachelor who owes large fortune.And almost everyone in the small town wants to marry their own daughter to him, and soon Mr.Bingley fell in love with Jane, Mr.Bennet’s old daughter after a ball.Mr.Bingley’s good friend Darcy took part in the ball, too.He soon drew the attention of many girls because of his handsome feathers and tall figure.But he was so proud that he thought they were not beautiful enough to be his dance partner, including Jane's sister Elizabeth.Darcy told Bingley that the feathers of Elizabeth just can be “tolerated”, and not to the extent of drawing his interest.Out of self-esteem, Elizabeth decided to ignore the arrogant guy.But it was not long before Darcy was attracted by her lovable behavior.So he invited her to dance at another ball, and Elizabeth agreed to dance with him.Darcy gradually changed his view on Elizabeth since then.Bingley’s sister Caroline was always wishing to marry Darcy, but Darcy was very cold to her.So when she found that Darcy was into Elizabeth, she became very angry and determined to obstruct.Though Darcy appreciated Elizabeth, he can’t put up with her mother and sisters vulgar behaviors.Concerning that Jane was not interested in Bingley, Darcy persuaded Bingley not to marry Bingley.Bingley went to London in this case, but Jane still loves him deeply.Mr.Bennet doesn’t have son, according to the law of that time, Mr.Bennet’s property just can be succeeded by men, Bennet’s daughters can only get five thousand pounds as a dowry.So his estate will belong to a distant relative named Collins.Collins looks ordinary, but he is good at fattery.Depending on power he became a priest.He got married with Elizabeth’s good friend Charlotte as soon as Elizabeth refused his propose, which troubled Elizabeth a lot.There is a handsome young officer named Wickham and everybody spoke highly of him.Elizabeth was attracted by him, too.One day, he told Elizabeth that his father is

the manager of the Darcy, and Darcy’s father suggested that Darcy give Wickham a fortune in his will, so he can be a clergy decently.However, Darcy had the property all to himself.After listening to Wickham, Elizabeth became more disgusted to Darcy.Elizabeth met Darcy’s aunt Catherine when she was visiting the Collins couple and was invited to Catherine’s home.There Elizabeth came across Darcy who came there to celebrate Easter.Darcy can’t restrain his love for Elizabeth and proposed to her, but his attitude was still so arrogant, adding to Elizabeth’s serious prejudice to him before, she turned out him absolutely.This blow made Darcy realize the consequence of his pride.He left her sadly, and before leaving he wrote her a long letter of some explanation: he admitted that Bingley’s leaving was his fault, because he was unsatisfied with Mrs.Bennet and miss Bennet(not including Jane and Elizabeth), and he also thought that Jane was not really interested in Bingley.However, What Wickham said are all lies.In fact, Wickham spent all the money Darcy gave to him and tried to seduce Darcy's sister George Anna.After read the letter, Elizabeth was very regret not only for her mother and sisters’ behaviors but also for her blame of Darcy.The next summer, Elizabeth came to Darcy’s manor with her aunt and uncle.When she saw Darcy, she felt greatly surprised at his changing.She found that he is polite and respectable, the prejudice against Darcy had gradually disappeared.Later she got the information that Lydia, and Sir Wickham had got away from home, she felt worried and humiliated.Darcy paid back the money for Wickham without saying a word to Elizabeth, and helped them get married.From then on, Elizabeth dumped all the prejudice and fell in love with Darcy with all her heart.Pride and Prejudice is the most enduringly popular novel written by Jane Austen.It talks about trivial matters of love, marriage and family life between country squires and fair ladies in Britain in the 18th century.The plot is very simple.That is how the young ladies choose their husbands.I appreciate Elizabeth Bennet, who flatly rejectedCollins’ proposal, who is the heir of her father’s property and manor, and refused the first proposal from the extremely wealthy noblemanDarcy.All the facts and plots make it clear that Elizabeth seeks no fame nor fortune, but self-important and high mental outlook.Love is really a wonderful thing;if you pursue a true love you can never give up or submit to anything, stick to your principle and don’t be afraid of misunderstanding.I believe one day happiness will come true.

Pride &Prejudice Book Review

1306

袁野

20130301327

Pride and Prejudice was first published in 1813, although Jane Austen had written it between October of 1796 and August of 1797.This was at a time when women were expected to stay at home and just be a pretty face, not think for themselves, and not involve themselves in politics or careers.Men were authors;women were not.Even when Pride and Prejudice was finally published in 1813, Austen’s name did not appear as the author of the book, and in fact, Austen was never given credit for being the author of any of her works while she was alive.Regardless, Jane Austen is one of the most widely read authors of English literature and there is no doubt in my mind as to why this is true.She had a lot to say about women and society in England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Pride and Prejudice is quite comic and it paints a clear picture of how women who lacked their own fortune oftentimes had to give up love to marry for economic security and social status.And Pride and Prejudice was set in the English countryside in a county roughly thirty miles from London, the novel opens with the Bennet family in Longbourn and their five unmarried daughters.The family itself is not nearly as rich as those they interact with and because they have no

sons, the property is legally entailed to pass to a male heir, in this case Mr.Collins.Mrs.Bennet is intent on seeing her daughters married off to wealthy men and when Charles Bingley arrives at nearby Netherfield Park she is excited by the prospect of introducing her daughters to him.She immediately sends her husband to visit him on the first day he arrives.The first two sentences of the whole book are great.They will always be two of my favorite opening lines from any book, and they set the stage for all of the ridiculousness that is about to happen throughout the rest of the story“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.”

In fact, there are really three characters in this story—Elizabeth, Mr.Wickham, and Mr.Darcy.The pride of Mr.Darcy leads to Elizabeth’s prejudice, but it is also Elizabeth’s contempt and honesty that allures Mr.Darcy.Her prejudice is promoted and abused by Mr.Wickham—a man of ill nature but good disguise, whose self-importance and vanity are to surface later.Elizabeth is first partial to Mr.Wickham, fuelled by empathy and prejudice(in a good way).She rejects Mr.Darcy’s proposal, which

does not seem to hurt Mr.Darcy’s pride but only strengthens his intention.She began to see Mr.Darcy through her own eyes.The more she observes, the more affectionate she become to him.Her love for him is never a sudden one—it grows out of guilt, shame, gratitude, respect, and admiration.Elizabeth makes Mr.Darcy a less proud creature, while Mr.Darcy makes Elizabeth realize her own prejudice.It is love that motivated two.We all have pride, self-importance, and esteem.We all tend to be defensive when our importance is threatened by another “higher” being.So we impose stereotypes, prejudices, and biases on others.We judge people, we make evaluations based on fractions of facts, and we fill gaps with our imagination and treat imagination as evidence.In the end, our prejudice serves no other purpose than our pride.Prejudice prevents us from listening, so we will never hear what others have suffered.Prejudice prevents us from observing, so we will never see their true conducts.Prejudice prevents us from reflecting, so we shall never doubt our own righteousness and hence our esteem is preserved.How hard it is to see what is really there!
