Pride and Prejudice

侯云

What do you think of the sentence "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."in the beginning of the book?

  At least, in my opinion, I won't take this sentence lightly. I mean I don't think the author just try to tell us that the fortune is the most important thing in our marriage. Instead, the author may want to emphasize that this steretopy in poeple's mind should be broken. We should pursue some valuable things in our marriage.

  I think it's a general lead in of this story. From my perspective, it is a foreshadowing of the following contents. This sentence seems to be true, because at last, both Elithebeth and Jane marry to rich gentlemen. But it also seems to be one-side. What about those men without a large fortune? In this way, the sentence is thought-provoking. Moreover, the whole story seems to be talking about what kind of men can a women married, while this sentence goes from men's needs. I think it's an interesting difference.
