On 《Pride And Prejudice》
I’m forced to read this novel at the beginning, but I can’t wait to finish it subsequently.
"It is a truth universally acknowledges that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." This is just as Leo Tolstoy’s famous starting in 《Anna Karenina》: "All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"． To begin with such a design, Jane Austen has her deep meaning. Marriage and money are inseparable. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession. The author does not deny this. So she uses typical Bennets to prove this truth.
The story takes place in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. The five Bennet sisters--including strong-willed Elizabeth and young Lydia--have all been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a wealthy husband. So when a wealthy bachelor shows up in their lives, the whole family is turned upside-down. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome but snobbish Mr. Darcy, the battle of the sexes is joined.
As we all know, Austen, in this novel, through the five Bennet daughters’ attitude towards love and marriage, shows the relationship between mental feelings, such as love, and material possessions , which also reflects the author's attitude: Marry for the sake of property, money or status is wrong; marry but do not take into account the above factors is foolish. As a result, she not only opposed to marry for the purpose of money, but also opposed to treat marriage as child's play. She stressed the importance of an ideal marriage. But 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.
Then let’s come to talk about the meaningful topic of this love story: 《Pride And Prejudice》
Pride and prejudice are our common problems and weaknesses. In fact, everyone is very easy to be driven by his own subjective impression and thus easy to make incorrect comments on others, and then led to misunderstand between people. One’s first impression can affect a lot of things for sure, but it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be changed. The deeper you get to understand someone, the more objective points you will have on him or her. The changing of Elizabeth’s point of view towards Darcy just proved this perfectly: no pride, no prejudice, and these two married just because they love each other, just because they need each other instead of need each other’s possessions. Austen is smart, because Elizabeth got beauty and intelligence while Darcy is handsome and rich. I even wonder if such a perfect marriage could take place in modern society.
In brief, after reading this story, many feelings come to me. At the same time, I strongly recommend every university students to read this classical book and then think twice about this eternal subject: on love, which factor is that should be in the first place?
