Jane Austen is this novel’s writer who is a famous writer in the world,and she is famous with her a series of novels.I still remember the first sentence in this book.It reads :“It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must in need of a wife.” The undertone is very clear : the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.Love seems to be a perpetual theme all the time.And the main story in the book Pride and Prejudice is not a exception.The writer tells us her views and attitudes about love and marriage in this book.Mrs.Bennet had five daughters,and marrying all her daughters was her biggest wish.In a genteel ball, Mr.Bingley , a friendly young man,also the host,fell in love with Jane at first sight.Jane was Mrs.Bennet 's first daughter who was simple,pure and never speaks evil of others.Darcy ,who was Bingley 's good friend ,a very proud man who seemed to always feel superior, was fond of Jane’s sister,Elizabeth.But his arrogance behavior and the smear from Wickham led Elizabeth to misunderstand and was biassed against Darcy.Darcy couldn't restrain himself from loving Elizabeth ,so he proposed to her.But his attitude was still so arrogant ,Elizabeth declined firmly.This hit made Darcy noticed the consequence from proud and conceited for the first time.Leaving a long letter to explain the things around him and Elizabeth, he left her painfully.She felt regret after reading it.Not only feel guilty for misunderstanding of Darcy , but also ashamed for the behavior of her mother.Elizabeth gradually changed her views of Darcy.When Darcy met her in his own manor again, his sincere attitude and dignified behavior made her considerably surprised.Finally ,they walked out of the frog which was pride and prejudice.It could be called a happy ending.There are seven different marriages presented in the novel.Excluding the Gardiner and the Lucas, the remaining five marriages contrasts each other to reveal Jane’s opinions and thoughts on the subject of marriage.The marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth reveals the characteristics which constitutes a successful marriage.One of these characteristics is that the feeling cannot be brought on by appearances, and must gradually develop between the two people as they get to know one another.In the beginning, Elizabeth and Darcy were distant from each other because of their prejudice.The series of events which they both experienced gave them the opportunity to understand one another and the time to reconcile their feelings for each other.Thus, their mutual understanding is the foundation of their relationship and will lead them to a peaceful and lasting marriage.This relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy reveals the importance of getting to know one’s partner before marrying.The marriage between Jane Bennet and Bingley is also an example of successful marriage.Jane Austen, through Elizabeth, expresses
her opinion of this in the novel.The last example of a marriage is a of a different nature than the ones mentioned above.The marriage between Mr.Collins and Charlotte is based on economics rather than on love or appearance.It was a common practice during Austen’s time for women to marry a husband to save herself from spinsterhood or to gain financial security.However, Jane Austen viewed this as a type of prostitution and disapproved of it.In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen dramatizes this form of women inequality and show that women who submits themselves to this type of marriage will have to suffer in tormenting silence as Charlotte does.In Pride and Prejudice, Jane has denounced the elements of marriage and society that she found distasteful.These are the conclusions of her observation of the people in her world.However in her writing, Jane has also reflected her own enjoyment in life among these people with and without their faults.About my opinions:
Believe it or not,I have read this story no less times no matter book still is movie.I read it again and again,and the more time I read the story is more than a love story I found.I like this story for the outstanding characteristic of the characters.A good book not only can bring you exciting,but also give you some further thinking.From the Pride and Prejudice,I learn a lot.First,it’s stupid to judge a person by the first impression and always have prejudice on the person who you don’t like.In a word,we can’t judge a person without any further recognise or by other people’s words.Just like Elizabeth,under Wickham’s evil speaking she judge Darcy is a pride and masty man and began to have prejudice on him,and kept misunderstanding him.As a result,she was failed to see the merits of Darcy.Other example,Mr.Binely persuaded himself run away from falling in love with Jane for having heard Darcy’s word that June didn’t like him,at least no more deeper than him.This hurt two loved heart.They even almost missed each other.By the way,we can learn that pride sometimes will make you far away from others.You can’t deny that the country people didn’t like Darcy very much no matter how rich he.For,he always feels superior to the country people.And,because Darcy’s pride,he offended the girl he love.Then, After reading this book, I cloudn’t forget how eager Mrs.Bennet wants to marry off her daughters.Why is she so crazy about that?I know it’s because of money.Money is very important for our lives.Money is required for food, shelter,and clothing, so many things in our life need money.With money, you can make your life more comfortable.You will be able to buy a big house with servants.But, Can money determine everything?How could a marriage maintain without love but just for money?From the marriage between Charlotte Lucas and Mr.Collins, we found that their marriage totally depended on the position, money, and the background, not the love.Most women choose the men who can satisfy their material comforts to be their
husbands at that time, just like Charlotte Lucas.She married Mr.Collins although she shared no common interests with him.She didn’t love him while she married him indeed.She persuaded herself to tolerate her husband’s strange and foolish behavior, and her only comfort was her big new house and rich material life.While in my eye, it’s really unfortunate to rest hope on the material comforts for her rest life.Although sometimes it’s necessary to consider the property, position, and background in the marriage, it’s stupid to marry just for the money.Charlotte Lucas married for the possession not love, and on the other hand, Mr.Collins married her because he needed a wife, not for love, either.Their marriage seemed to be necessary but not happy.But how to maintain the marriage without love? Fortunately,I don’t know morethem in the end of the book.
第二篇:傲慢與偏見英文讀后感
Reading after Pride and Prejudice
Recently I have been reading a novel called Pride and Prejudice, which was written by Jane Austen.Although I haven’t finished it yet, I still have something to write.The writer, Jane Austen, was an English woman.She was born in Steventon, Hampshine, where her father was a rector.She was the second daughter and the seventh child in a family of eight.The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire.Austin didn’t go to regular schools, but she read many literary works at her parents’guidance.She started writing about the age of 20, and published six novels.Pride and Prejudice(1813)and Emma(1816)are the best-known books of them.Virginia Woolf called her “the most perfect artist among women”.Most of her novels were all adapted into movies and successful in the world.For living in a small country town, contacting the medium and small landlords, pastor as well as their quiet and comfortable living environment, there were no significant social contradictions in her works.She described a truthful picture of her world, especially the marriage and love between gentlemen and ladies by her meticulous feminine observation.The style of her works is humorous and rich in comic conflicts, so many readers love them.This type of novels not only at that time attracted broad readers, today;it still gives the readers unique art enjoyment.The novel describes love process of heroine Elizabeth and hero Darcy, her elder sister Jane and Mr.Bingley, younger sister Jane and Mr.Bingley, younger sister Lydia and Mr.Wickham, her good friend Charlotte and Mr.Collins.The marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth revealed the characteristics which constituted a successful marriage.One of these characteristics was that the feeling couldn’t be brought on by appearances and must gradually develop between the two people as they got to know one another.The marriage between Jane Bennet and Bingley was also an example of successful marriage.They had the excellent understanding, super-excellent disposition of Jane and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and her husband.Unlike Darcy and Elizabeth, there was a flaw in their relationship.The flaw was that both characters were too gullible and too good-hearted to ever act strongly against external forces that may attempt to separate them.Obviously, Lydia and Wickham’s marriage was an example of a bad marriage.Their marriage was based on appearances, good looks and youthful vivacity.Once these qualities could no longer be seen by each other, the once strong relationship would slowly fade away.Through their relationship, Jane Austen showed that hasty marriage based on superficial qualities quickly cooled and led to unhappiness.The marriage between Mr.Collins and Charlette was based on economics rather than on love or appearance.It was a common practice during Austen’s time for woman to marry a husband to save herself from spinsterhood or to gain financial security.However, Jane Austen viewed this as a type of prostitution and disapproved it.Elizabeth was a clever, beautiful and strong-minded woman, who looked down upon the hypocrisy in high-society circles.Facing the marriage, she was courage, visionary and good at thinking.Although, she had some wrong opinions on Darcy in the beginning, finally she knew about Darcy justly through thinking, hence gained the true love.Darcy was a handsome, rich gentleman, but proud and didn’t want to make contact with others, leading to dissatisfactions from neighbors.Even worse, Darcy left bad impressions on the people around him and Elizabeth also hated him.She had prejudice against Darcy gradually.When Darcy proposed to her, she refused him decisively.After that, Darcy began to reflect on the self-examination and treated people with more populist.As time went by, they came across again.Darcy was not only polite, but was popular among the neighbors.Finally, regardless of his aunt’s strong objection and concept of family, Darcy proposed to Elizabeth again.Elizabeth willingly consented.She began to appear her lively side to Darcy.The characters have their own personalities.Mrs.Bennet was a woman who was eager to marry off her daughters.Mr.Bingley was a friendly young man.Jane was simple, innocent and never spoke evil of others.Elizabeth was a clever girl who always had her own opinions.Mary liked reading classic books.Kitty didn’t have her own opinions but liked to follow her sister.Lydia was a girl who followed exotic things, handsome man and was somehow a little profligate.As far as I am concerned, love is the most beautiful and valuable thing and the basis of marriage.Although material is important, we shouldn’t give up seeking for the true love.By contrasting Elizabeth with Lydia, we know the true love is essential.Then, I think the behavior is the symbol of people.If Darcy was polite and warm-hearted in the beginning, maybe he would not have been misunderstood by Elizabeth.Therefore, never be arrogant.It is true that the first impression is important, but we should also recognize someone in long time and from all aspects.That requires we are strong-minded, reasoned and sensible.Be tolerant to anyone, and you will be more likely gain happiness.Last but not least, this novel has an effect on today’s Chinese society, which is full of bullionism and hedonism.Many youngers have the question, especially girls, “Rose and bread, which is more important”.Once in a famous dating show called If you are the one, a girl said “Would rather sit in the BMW car crying, don’t sit on the bike laughing”, which means she would live together with a rich man rather than a poor man.Most girls think that houses, cars and property are more important than appearances and characters.I don’t agree with it.As new century’s girls, who are expected to be independent, self-reliance, self-love, we could earn money through our own effects instead of putting the hope on others.Only in this way can we have the security sense and be more attractive to lovers.The lover is one of the most intimate persons and the family is a part of our lives, therefore, let’s seek for the true love and create a promising future.
第三篇:英文傲慢與偏見讀后感
凡是有財產的單身漢,必定需要娶位太太,這已經成了一條舉世公認的真理?!币赃@樣一句話作為本書的開頭,讓人不由想到這會是一部清喜劇,來講一個皆大歡喜的愛情故事??墒侨缛糁粸榱讼捕x,那么這部《傲慢與偏見》就不會有如此長久的生命力。往往,偉大出自于平凡,奧斯丁就是將她的哲理通過愛情這一人人司空見慣的事物來表達的。
《傲慢與偏見》是英國著名女作家簡·奧斯丁的代表作,這部作品以日常生活為素材,一反當時社會上流行的感傷小說的內容和矯揉造作的寫作方法,作品描寫傲慢的單身青年達西與偏見的二小姐伊麗莎白、富裕的單身貴族賓格萊與賢淑的大小姐吉英之間的感情糾葛。
這本書中似乎只有兩種人:聰明的和愚蠢的,沒有絕對的好壞之分,文中的所謂「傲慢」就是指出身富貴、教養頗高、眼光銳利的青年達西的個性弱點;而所謂「偏見」是指出身中產階級、教養頗好、機智聰明的小姐-伊麗莎白的精神弱點。一個眼光銳利,一個機智聰明,都屬人中杰,但卻都難免人性的弱點的糾纏。他們在一次的家庭舞會上初次見面,卻因對彼此的印象不佳,一個態度傲慢,另一個心懷偏見。第一個印象先入為主,以后又加上女人們在旁閑言碎語,而造成了兩人之間的愛恨情仇。伊麗莎白曾對達西說過:“我們的性情非常相似,我們都不愛交際,沉默寡言,不愿開口,除非我們會說出話來語驚四座,像格言一樣具有光彩,流傳千古.”就是因為這思想上的一致,才在婚姻中百般受到阻礙,同時也是因為這才最后促成美滿的婚姻.作為故事中的女主人公,伊麗莎白聰敏機智,有膽識,有遠見,有很強的自尊心,并善于思考問題。就當時一個待嫁閨中的小姐來講,這是難能可貴的。而我第一次被伊麗莎白的個性打動,就是在她拒絕達西先生告白時。雖然有誤會造成的偏見,但她理直氣壯地指責初見不歡的告白對象的樣子著實可愛。讓人不禁感嘆,她哪來的這么大的勇氣和自信?怎么會這么堅定的不為所動?對達西先生的誤解是一方面,另一方面,小說在最后給出了解答。當本內特先生聽聞自己最心愛的女兒心有所屬時,對伊麗莎白的那句“我擔心世上沒有人能配得上你”。由此看來,伊麗莎白的自信應該是來源于父親的教育。這種自信讓她在任何事物面前都不失去自我,哪怕是教條,哪怕是別人的目光,哪怕是金錢和地位,哪怕是愛情。
愛情中的人應該坦誠相待。當達西向伊麗莎白求婚而遭到拒絕時,他說了一句話:“要是我耍一點手段,把我內心的矛盾掩飾起來,一味地恭維你,使你相信我無論在理智方面、思想方面以及其他各方面,都是對你懷著無條件的純潔的愛,那么也許你就不會有這些苛刻的責罵了??上o論是什么樣的偽裝,我都痛恨。”達西沒有為了討好伊麗莎白,而改變他的傲慢性情。伊麗莎白也表現了很真實的自己,彼此都不刻意去營造給人的印象,表現出了最真實的一面。而開始的時候,伊麗莎白一直活在自己的偏見之下,而忽略思考事實的真相,經過達西的解釋和自己的判斷,才最終找到幸福的歸宿。
《傲慢與偏見》,是我們很常見的弱點和毛病。每一個人其實都很容易被自己的主觀印象所驅使,因而容易對別的人下不正確的注解,進而造成了彼此之間的誤會。一個人所給予的第一印象固然可以影響到很多事,但并非一定不會改變,要有更加深入的了解,才能有更客觀一點的論點,就好像故事中女主角對達西的看法,就是因為了解才有所改變.閱讀的魅力在于能在別人的故事中看到自己的內心,不斷反思與成長,伊麗莎白與達西的結合告訴我們,獲得人類一切美好感情的前提是消除傲慢與偏見以及更多的負面人生觀。當然還有更多作者欲說還休的情懷需要隨著時間的流逝而去參悟

第五篇:《傲慢與偏見》英文讀后感
Impressions of pride and prejudice
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time.The author perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities.Mrs.Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters.Mr.Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr.Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior.Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different.Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others.Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion.Mary likes reading classic books.(Actually she is a pedant.)Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia.Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate.When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now.That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic.But this little topic can reflect big problems.It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century.You can find these from the very beginning of this book.The first sentence in this book is impressive.It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”.The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories.In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs.After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs.Bennet wants to marry off her daughters.If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time.Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions.Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives.Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions.Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr.Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them.From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband.The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind.A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages.Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage.Marry for money is still a big problem in our society.We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think.The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems.Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively.The plots in her works are always very natural.The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics.I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic.Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
