Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel， which impresses me for a longtime. It describes a love story mainly between Elisabeth， who I like the best，and a rich and proud man， Darcy.
The story began with the arrival of a crowd of rich men who rent a housenear the Bennet. In a ball， Elisabeth gave such a bad impression on Darcy’sfirst pride that she refused Darcy’s first proposal. Darcy was so surprised byElisabeth’s refusal that he loved Elisabeth more deeply. And Elisabeth’santipathy made Darcy realize his shortings. He was not angry about Elisabeth’scensure， but also he changed his previous proud attitude.
During Elisabeth’s travel in Darcy’s manor. Darcy was very nice to heruncle and aunt， different from previous proud attitude. When one of Elisabeth’ssisters ran away with Wickham， Darcy helped Elisabeth find her sister andprevent her sister from the loss of reputation， with nobody knowing that it washe who helped the Bennet. So many changes in Darcy eliminated Elisabeth’sprejudice. At last it end with their marriage.
Taking the daily life as its material， this story reflected the life andlove in a conservative你 and blocking England town. It reflected the author’sview about marriage that it is fault to marry for property， money and status andit is also foolish to take these elements into account. In fact Darcy’s pridemanifested the gap between their statuses.
Since his pride existed， there is no ideal marriage between Elisabeth andDarcy. From the different attitudes from Darcy’s two proposals， it reflected thefeminine pursuit of personality independence and right equality， which is aprogressive character from the image of Elisabeth.
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. She 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.
Smelling the faint ink fragrance in his nose, he turned the pages in his hand and read the lines in front of him quietly. Pride and Prejudice is a book that is often heard by others and feels good. I bought it home and realized it carefully. I didnt think it was good at the beginning. After reading it completely, I learned some philosophy and wisdom of life from it.
Pride and prejudice, a novel by the British writer Austin, shows some of the daily life and rural scenery of the middle class in England, and opens a new page in the history of English novels.
Elizabeth in the pursuit of love on the road, has been adhering to their original beliefs, not by the then door-to-door and wealth status of their own footsteps, adhere to the fate of their own destiny. She took control of her destiny and finally got a good marriage. Her character and spirit, all let me deeply admire. In addition, knowing that she misunderstood Darcy, she admitted her mistake and love to Darcy. She knew that the moral character that mistakes can change is what we should learn.
Seeing the happy ending of this twists and turns fate, I am deeply gratified and look forward to it silently. I hope that all people can have the integration of rationality and sensibility, and truly manage their own happy life independently.

I have read some parts of this nover when I was about thirteen years old,but the book was really too thick for me to read over ’s a pity that I haven’t finished it till fortunately,I have watched the movie “Pride and Predudice”directed by an American film studio several months ago.
The simple but pure plot,the wonderful song,the classical custume,the luxury ball,the scene full of amorous feelings from the British country,the beatiful and stubborn actress,all of these moved me . Darcy,the actor of the nover,a nobleman from the uper-classes in England,because of this,he has an inborn superiority that he looks down at every person from the lower-classes .
He don’t like neither their life style nor their way to actress of the nover,an obstinate,wise young girl from the lower-classes of the dosen’t like anyone who is constumelious,she hates the spurs from the pride men. By these,you know,there’er lots of conflicts between them,but at last,Darcy and Elizabeth,the two different even opposite youngsters fall love .That’s very incredible.
In fact,we are always pride and think something in our mind but not right,we assess the others only depend on their background or their color of skin,we hide our true heart and pretend,we dispise the others without any reason……But why don’t we ask ourselves in our heart or mind: what do we feel in fact? What do we need in fact? What do we hate and love in fact? Why not express our real feelings at once?Why not chase the happy we really want ?
If we can go through the hindrances that set by ourselves,if we can express the true feelings we have and say it out loudly and clearly to somebody we want to tell with,if we can give up the contumely and spurns which block us to get long well wigh the others wo love,if we can live together harmony and sincere,if ……If that day really es,the love will e too.
One day, I read a book called pride and prejudice.
The author of this book is Austin. She comes from a pastors family. She lives in the countryside of England most of her life, so she knows the local customs very well. Most of her works are from the lives she is familiar with.
Pride and Prejudice is mainly about the love story between Darcy and Elizabeth. Elizabeth is the second daughter of Bennetts family, the heroine of the book. She is intelligent, beautiful, intelligent, and eager for true love. Because of the prejudice against Darcy, she easily refused Darcys proposal, which led to many twists and turns in their relationship. At last she got rid of prejudice.
Darcy is a young man with rich family and noble title. He was noble in appearance, flexible in mind and kind in heart, and he was very kind even to his enemy, Weiken. However, he is considered arrogant because of his bad association with strangers. After accepting Elizabeths criticism modestly, he won Elizabeths love.
This let me know that a person cant be arrogant because of his familys wealth, cant guess others at will, and has prejudice against others.
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel, which impresses me for a long time. It describes a love story mainly between Elisabeth, who I like the best, and a rich and proud man, Darcy.
The story began with the arrival of a crowd of rich men who rent a house near the Bennet. In a ball, Elisabeth gave such a bad impression on Darcy’s first pride that she refused Darcy’s first proposal. Darcy was so surprised by Elisabeth’s refusal that he loved Elisabeth more deeply. And Elisabeth’s antipathy made Darcy realize his shortcomings. He was not angry about Elisabeth’s censure, but also he changed his previous proud attitude.
During Elisabeth’s travel in Darcy’s manor. Darcy was very nice to her uncle and aunt, different from previous proud attitude. When one of Elisabeth’s sisters ran away with Wickham, Darcy helped Elisabeth find her sister and prevent her sister from the loss of reputation, with nobody knowing that it was he who helped the Bennet. So many changes in Darcy eliminated Elisabeth’s prejudice. At last it end with their marriage.

It reflected the author’s view about marriage that it is fault to marry for property, money and status and it is also foolish to take these elements into account.

Since his pride existed, there is no ideal marriage between Elisabeth and Darcy. From the different attitudes from Darcy’s two proposals, it reflected the feminine pursuit of personality independence and right equality, which is a progressive character from the image of Elisabeth.
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.
