傲慢与偏见

In this novel, Austen describes the different treatment of Bennett's five daughters to the event of life, showing the different attitudes of the girls from the middle class families in the town to the marriage and love issues, thus reflecting the author's own view of marriage: it is wrong to marry for property, money and status; And it would be foolish to get married without taking them into account. Therefore, she is not only opposed to marry for money, but also opposed to take marriage as a game. She emphasized the importance of an ideal marriage, and took the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of an ideal marriage. Elizabeth, the heroine of the book, was born in a family of small landlords and loved by Darcy, the son of the rich. Darcy, regardless of birth and wealth gap, asked her to marry him, but was rejected. Elizabeth's misunderstanding and prejudice against him is one reason, but the main reason is that she hates his arrogance. Because Darcy's arrogance is actually a reflection of the difference in status, as long as there is such arrogance, he and Elizabeth can not have common thoughts and feelings, nor can there be an ideal marriage. Later, Elizabeth observed Darcy's behavior and a series of actions with her own eyes, especially to see him change the past that kind of proud and conceited manner, eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice to him, and thus concluded a happy marriage with him. Elizabeth's different attitudes towards Darcy's marriage proposals actually reflect women's pursuit of personality independence and equal rights.
