IV.Comments on the book

1.What are the strengths and weaknesses of the book?(≥50words)

Although Austen’s theme is narrow, the story is quite dull, but she is good at

shape distinctive characters in ordinary daily things.Whether Elizabeth and Darcy that the author thinks should be positive character, or Collins this kind of being the object of sarcasm, she presents themin a real way.At the same time, Austin’s language is after temper, she in a dialogue art exquisite humor, satire, often with funny witty language to foil character's personality.This kind of artistic

innovation made her works have their own characteristics

2.What is the part of this book that had the greatest impact on you? Why?(≥

50words)

With the revealing of the truth, Elizabeth’s prejudice on Darcy becomes deeper.Until when Elizabeth refuses Darcy’s long love letter, she experiences the fierce shock.After undergoing a period of painful and profound thought, she could not help but to shout how despicable she is。When we see the blame from heart, we find her

shortcomings and the courage that she could face herself directly.It is her bringing that plays a role;she starts to give up the bias caused by self-esteem, truly and seriously understand Darcy.Elizabeth wouldn't believe the shameless lies about

Darcy said by Han and eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice.She finally falls in love with Darcy.Is the writing effective, powerful, difficult, or beautiful?(≥50words)

I think it is helpful.The different treatments and attitudes towards these marriages reflect Jane Austen’s views on marriage.It’s wrong for marriage to pursue property,money and high status.She stresses the importance of an ideal marriage and takes the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of the ideal marriage.We also learn that pride and prejudice are the very common problems and weaknesses in human’s personality.Everyone is easy to be driven by their own subjective

consciousness or other people’s wrong comments.It may cause a misunderstanding toward a thing or a person.What we should do is to avoid these weaknesses and make them under good regulation.Everything must be based on objective sense and commented with a deeper understanding.1.If you could talk to the author, what would you say?(≥50words)

In this great book, you amply demonstrates your point about love and marriage.And you let me know that at that time, according to the social conditions in

Britain, a good marriage for a young woman was critical.And in the 19th

century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society.There was no equality.between woman and man.Women were

considered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity.Now

through this book I find the courage to show ourselves.What did you learn about yourself as a result of reading this book?(≥50words)Thank you.after reading your book I form a positive attitiud to the marrige.now, I thinklove 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 happy life.3.Note down five useful expressions you learned from your reading and make

on sentence for each expression.1)[Useful expression](p.6)She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper.[Sentence you made]: He is a man in possession of a good fortune.2)[Useful expression](p.4)``My dear Mr.Bennet,'' replied his wife, ``how can you be so tiresome!You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.''

5)[Useful expression](p.292)Elizabeth could not repress a smile at this, but she answered only by a slight inclination of the head.[Sentence you made]: However, because they don’t have the emotional tools to integrate the hurt caused by abusive adults, they often repress their feelings as their first line of defence.General remarks:(≥200words)

The writer Jane Austen disclosed mid-class young ladies’ different ideas of marriage and love through describing the different ways in which the Bennet girls doing with their marriage problems, and this undoubtedly shows the writer’s idea about love and marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for property, wealth and status while neither would it be without caring about those elements.Jane Austen just attached great

significance to marriage through her novel by telling people that marriage should be regarded carefully because it is not a game you could just enjoy without prudent

consideration.She also wanted to deliver information that marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.The female subject Elizabeth is a mid-class girl, and Darcy proposed to her regardless of the gap between them, but Elizabeth refused

because of his pride had formed Eli’s prejudice.Cause Darcy’s pride was a suggest of status gap between he and Eli, he wouldn’t have the same thought with Eli and

consequently the ideal marriage.But later Darcy’s doings especially his change of the prideful manner eliminated Eli’s misunderstandings and prejudice about him, and Eli accepted his proposal.Those two opposite attitudes reflect females pursue of

independent personality and equality.I think Elizabeth has personality ethic which caused her independent idea about love and marriage and in consequence she earned a happy life.There’re also Eli’s sisters’ love stories served as contrasts to the female subject’s ideal marriage, such as Charlotte and Collin’s life: they do had a luxury life, but there’s noreal love between them and this kind of marriage is surely a tragedy of society.(_270_ Words)

II.Summary The story shows the British society's life at that time by describing the marriage problems.It mainly describes the love story of Bennet ’s several daughters.Mr.Bingley is newly from London and falls in love with the biggest daughter, Jane.His friend Darcy is sweet upon the second daughter Elizabeth, but their marriage moves slowly for some reasons.After a range of interesting troubles, the misunderstandings are finally removed.With Darcy overcomes his pride, and Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, they get together finally.By describing different marriages, Austin expresses her opinions of the marriage which insist on the understanding to each other.To a certain extent, this novel also reflects the wish for the independent marriage for women at that time.Mr.Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hertfordshire with his overbearing wife.The Bennets 5 daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia.Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr.Bennet dies their house will be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met, so the family's future happiness and security are dependent on the daughters making good marriages.Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighborhood of the rich gentleman Mr.Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country.Mr.Bingley brings with him his sister and his friend Mr.Darcy.One night, at a dancing party, Mr.Bingley is well-received in the community;but Mr.Darcy is very proud and indifferent to other people.Mr.Bingley falls in love with Jane immediately, and so does Jane.Mr.Bingley and Jane Bennet begin to grow close relationship despite Mrs.Bennet's interference and the opposition of Bingley's sister.Because of Mr.Darcy’s pride, Elizabeth is stung by his haughty rejection of her and decides to match his coldness with her own wit.Sometime later, Mr.Darcy begins to develop interests in Elizabeth.At another dancing party, Mr.Darcy invites Elizabeth to dance only to be refused.Mr.Darcy is in a difficult position.At the same time

Elizabeth begins a friendship with Mr.Wickham, a militia officer who relates a prior acquaintance with Darcy.Wickham tells her that he has been seriously mistreated by Darcy.Elizabeth immediately seizes upon this information as another reason to hate Darcy.Bingley's sister has pursuit Mr.Darcy for a long time, but when she finds that Mr.Darcy is fond of Elizabeth.The anger makes her prevent the development of their relationship.In addition, Mr.Darcy also dislikes Elizabeth’s mother and sisters for their vulgarism.Finally, Mr.Bingley leaves London under the persuasion of his sister and Mr.Darcy.Before Bingley leaves, Mr.Collins, the male relative who is to inherit Longbourn, makes a sudden appearance and stays with the Bennets.He is a recently ordained clergyman employed by the wealthy and patronizing Lady Catherine de Bourgh.Collins has another reason for visiting: he wishes to find a wife from among the Bennet sisters.Mr.Bennet and Elizabeth are amused by his self-important and pedantic behavior.He immediately enters pursuit of Jane;however, when Mrs.Bennet mentions her preoccupation with Mr.Bingley, he turns to Elizabeth.He soon proposes marriage to Elizabeth, only to be refused again.Collins quickly recovers and proposes to Elizabeth's close friend, Charlotte Lucas, who immediately accepts him.Once the marriage is arranged, Charlotte asks Elizabeth to come for an extended visit.In the spring, Elizabeth joins Charlotte and her cousin at his parish in Kent.The parish is adjacent to Rosings Park, the grand manor of Mr.Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, where Elizabeth frequently invites.While calling on Lady Catherine, Mr.Darcy encounters Elizabeth.She discovers from a cousin of Darcy that it is he who separates Bingley and Jane.Soon after, Darcy admits his love of Elizabeth and proposes to her.Insulted by his high-handed and insulting manner of proposing, Elizabeth refuses him.When he asks why she should refuse him, she tells him the story of Bingley and Jane, furthermore, she also takes Mr.Wickham’s story as an example to blame Mr.Darcy.Deeply shaken by Elizabeth's vehemence and accusations, Darcy writes her a letter justifying his actions and decides to change himself.In the letter, he says that it is Wickham who uses up all the legacy-settlement.As for Bingley and Jane, Darcy justifies his actions from having observed that Jane does not show any reciprocal interest in his friend;thus his aim in separating them is mainly to protect Bingley from heartache.Darcy admits he is concerned about the disadvantageous connection with Elizabeth's family, especially her embarrassing mother and wild younger sisters.After reading the letter, Elizabeth begins to question both her family's behaviors and Wickham's credibility;she concludes that Wickham is not as trustworthy as his easy manners would indicate, and that her early impressions of Darcy may not have been accurate.Soon after receiving the letter Elizabeth returns home.Some months later, during a tour of Derbyshire with her aunt and uncle, Elizabeth visits Darcy's estate.There they meet again, and Darcy is different from before.He becomes friendly and modest, which leaves Elizabeth a good impression.Some good things happening between Darcy and Elizabeth when news arrives that Elizabeth's younger sister Lydia has run away with Wickham.Elizabeth is convinced that Darcy will be angry with her.However, Darcy does the opposite thing.With the help of Darcy, Lydia and Wickham are found and married.Bingley and Jane are together after a lot of hardships in the end, but Darcy’s aunt Lady Catherine travels to Longbourn with the sole aim of confronting Elizabeth and demanding that she never accepts such a proposal of marries Darcy.Elizabeth refuses to bow to Lady Catherine's demands.When the news reaches Darcy, it convinces him that her opinion of him has changed.When he visits, he once again proposes marriage.Elizabeth accepts, and the two become engaged.In the end, all the people in the novel are happy, and this is the happy ending.III.Comments

In my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time.It perfectly reflects the relation between money and marriage at her time and gives the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities.The most important part of the novel is the love story between Elizabeth and Darcy.Elizabeth is a smart and beautiful girl born in a middle class family who is persistent and brave in the pursuit of love.The story’s spread leads on Elizabeth’s feeling to Darcy: from detestation to admiration and then love.In addition, other people’s happiness also appears during this period of time.Jane Austen writes this for the purpose of showing the thinking of the women’s love, marriage and expectation at that time.Now let me talk something about the marriage in the novel briefly.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is based on both money and love, and love is more important.This is the perfect marriage.The only purpose of Collins and Lucas’ marriage is pursuit.Only by

marrying someone can Lucas feels safety.Jane and Bingley’s marriage is based on beauty and money.This is also a kind of good marriage.They will be happy.Lydia and Wickham’s marriage is only based on passion.They only care about the appearance.We can image whether their life will happy or not.Jane Austen thinks that it is wrong for people to marry for money and social statues;on the other hand, she also disagrees to the marriage regardless of the former aspects.So Jane Austen calls on the reasonable marriage, and the marriage should be based on love.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 remain the main reason that may influence one’s marriage.Marrying 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, and 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.I really learn a lot from the book, which makes me think a lot.It is one of the best books that I have ever read.Furthermore, I think it is one of the best books that have ever been written.The reason that I have such feelings maybe I really read too few books.So, there are still many wonderful books in front of me waiting to be read.Keep reading, keep moving.

奥斯丁虽然没有进过正规学校，但是家庭的优良条件和读书环境，给了她自学的条件，培养了她写作的兴趣。她在十三四岁就开始写东西，显示了她在语言表达方面的才能。1816年初她得了重病，身体日益衰弱，1817年5月被送到温彻斯特接受治疗，可是医治无效，不幸于同年7月18日死在她姐姐的怀抱里。她终生未婚，安葬在温彻斯特大教堂。

5：《诺桑觉寺》（Northanger Abbey，1818，死后出版）6：《劝导》（Persuasion，1818，死后出版）

故事简介：

《傲慢与偏见》是简·奥斯汀的代表作。故事发生在一个闭塞的乡村小镇：小乡绅班纳特先生有5个女儿，而班纳特太太生活中的头等大事就是为他的5个女儿找到合适的丈夫。为此，她整天东跑西窜，忙个不停，但是她们住的地方太偏僻，一时找不到合适的人选。就在这个时候，两个单身、富有而且英俊的绅士来到这里度假。这两个人的到来，不亚于在平静的水面上投下了一块巨石。到底班纳特太太能不能如愿以偿、顺顺利利地把自己的五个女儿嫁出去呢？作者用诙谐幽默的语言，向我们讲述了一桩曲折的姻缘。结局大大出乎班纳特太太、邻居和亲戚们的意料，带有一股轻喜剧的味道。

班纳特家有五个女儿均未出嫁；而班纳特太太又是一个神经质虚荣心十足的女人，将每个女儿嫁出去是她这一生唯一的大事，可她却从不费心管教女儿的举止；而班纳特先生是个顾家的老绅士，却放任妻子和女儿的不得体行为，宁愿躲进图书室寻求平静。

简·班纳特是班纳特家的大女儿，容貌美丽、性情温柔、沉静；伊莉沙白·班纳特是班纳特家的二女儿，个性活泼大方、聪慧与美貌并俱；三女儿玛丽容貌不若其它姊妹出色，因此便在品德及知识上用功，但也造成她的自大态度；排行第四的凯蒂个性浮华，与妹妹丽迪雅最热忠跳舞，举止常失礼而不自知；么女儿爱慕虚荣、注重享乐、跳舞和与军官斗闹取乐是她生活的唯一目的。

直到有一天，班纳特家附近的搬来了一个单身男子彬格莱·查尔斯，他是一个个性温和、做人真诚不拘小节的富家青年，偶然在一个宴会彬格莱却恋上了班纳特家的大女儿简，并与简·班纳特相互爱慕；而彬格莱的好朋友达西·费茨威廉个性拘谨严肃，不善言词常给人自大傲慢的印象，在不知不觉中喜欢上班纳特家的二女儿伊莉沙白，但是因为班纳特一家本身并不是得体的家族令这两段恋情受到障碍，伊莉沙白一开始就对傲慢的达西存有偏见，这部书主要就是描述他们这段关系的转变过程。

读后感：

人们就是以财富来衡量一个人的。在达西与伊莉沙白的年代是趋于保守的，也会有贵族与平民的上的障碍。傲慢和偏见，就属于人类弱点中最常见的两种。而人性又太容易被扭曲、被异化，一不小心，或一旦陷入盲目，失去公正和理智，被感情所操纵，就会出毛病，伊莉沙白和达西也只是一个代表而已。而出身、财产、地位、教养、一旦沾上上流的边，就容易染上傲慢的毛病，对贫穷、低下、粗俗的人瞧不上眼；而地位低、财产少的人，出于人类的一种自尊心，则以偏见对抗骄傲的优越者，这自然是另一种被扭曲的傲慢。

这部书以社会女性主义观点切入，检视奥斯汀的社会背景，探索社会环境如何影响女性在面临婚姻时的抉择，反映了女性内心的焦虑与挣扎。就社会女性主义者而言，物质环境为塑造女性婚姻意识的决定因素。事实上，婚姻，就小说人物而言，是一个阶级交换与经济交流的市场。为了达成结婚的目的，女性人物擅于把自己转化成商品，展示其外貌与才艺，吸引男性目光。这一时期女性受到社会价值的鼓励，利用其女性特质来赢得婚姻伴侣。然而，奥斯汀的女性人物在面临婚姻伴侣的抉择时往往呈现对婚姻无意识的不安。爱情是一条主线，然而婚姻与爱情还是有差别的，其中一点诚实，男女主人公就太缺少了。正因为如此才使得女主角不安。

人，总是喜欢先入为主，达西先生傲慢、无礼的样子早已进入伊丽莎白的头脑，再加上骗子韦翰利用了自己巧妙的奉承能力以及一付“讨人喜欢”的仪表，迷住了伊丽莎白，不停地为自己洗刷冤情，中伤达西。不可否认，韦翰长着一张英俊的脸，表面上也装得非常“绅士”，使得伊丽莎白完全相信了韦翰的花言巧语，即使她是家中最居理智的女儿，毕竟年轻，对于一个人是好是坏，还只是看浅表的。最主要的可能是伊丽莎白太过于在乎她在别人眼中的形象，她非常不希望在别人眼里看来她是一个无知而虚荣，又没有教养的女人，可她也只是一个处在那种时代的而不甘于做一个配件的女人而已，她希望的伴侣能在心灵上与之共鸣，对于这个人的品格的要求超过了财富的要求，这一点是值得赞赏的，毕竟是在有一个爱钱的母亲的教育下长大的。不过对于这样一个母亲，她还是感到了自卑，才会在面对韦翰的谎言时，盲目的相信那个“高高在上”的达西是个卑鄙的人，从而使自己在他面前时的自卑心得到解脱。不过幸运的是伊丽莎白没有被这些真正的蒙住双眼。

人的缺陷太多，首先是心灵上的陷阱。要想在一生中成就一番事业，无论是知识、教养、还是爱情、事业，都需要同自己心灵的种种浅浮的陷阱或阴影做斗争，经过各种误解和长时间的反复的认识过程，慢慢由心灵克服各自弱点和毛病，而走向开放、洒脱、自由的必然结果。然而没有爱情不要勉强与他人结婚，只要人品正直，追求美德，不放松向喜之心，不苟且、贪图一时之利欲，追求两心之和谐、相应，运用彼此的智慧，克服心灵上的缺点，终得如愿以偿。

人和人之间的相处总会有一些小小的摩擦，而这些摩擦，往往就是自己内心中所潜藏的弱点或毛病，要和别人能够更愉快的生活，就必须先了解到自己的缺点，并磨去他，其次是了解别人的内心，最后再互相深入彼此，如此一来，你会发现到社会上每一件人、事、物都是如此美好而光明，更进一步激发出你内心深处的感动，发挥出自己的专长去替这个社会、这个国家、这个世界服务，毕竟我门是万物之长，如果人们不再用心去关怀身边的人，不再去付出自己的一臂之力，那么还有谁要去完成这个任务呢？所以从现在开始，我们就应该将自己原先所存有的毛病给除去，换上一个全新的自我，为崭新的未来打拚吧

简·奥斯丁1796年到至1797年间写成此著，写作地点都是在英国的汉普郡的史蒂文顿（Steventon Rectory）。1811年，奥斯丁校正，原书名叫《第一印象》（First Impressions），不过后来更改名为《傲慢与偏见》。书中的男女主人公都有傲慢与偏见的表现，并不能说傲慢代表达西，而偏见代表伊丽莎白。1813年，由白丘（Whitehall）的军方图书馆（Military Library）出版社的艾格顿先生（Mr.Egerton）出版。此出版社在1811年出版了简·奥斯丁的著名小说《理智与情感》，口碑不错，遂决定出版《傲慢与偏见》。

【三】内容介绍

《傲慢与偏见》是英国作家简·奥斯丁的代表作之一。故事发生在18世纪英国的一个小镇上。作者在本书中描述了四段不同的婚姻，分别是简和宾里的婚姻、伊丽莎白和达西的婚姻、莉迪亚和威克姆的婚姻、卢卡斯和柯林斯的婚姻。这四门婚姻中，他们结婚的目的和结果都不相同，作者也借着这不同的四门婚姻来表现她自己的观点：为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的；而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。因此，她既反对为金钱而结婚，也反对把婚姻当儿戏。她强调理想婚姻的重要性，并把男女双方感情作为缔结理想婚姻的基石。

1．简与宾利

简(Jane)是班内特夫妇的大女儿，是五个姐妹中最漂亮的一个，性格随和，举止有礼。虽宾利先生（Bingley）与简互生爱意，但由于简生性沉稳娴雅，害羞内向，她并没有将这种感情流露出来，使得达西先生（宾利的好朋友)误以为简对宾利毫无感情，达西虽然欣赏伊丽莎白，但却无法忍受她的母亲以及妹妹们粗俗、无礼的举止，担心简并非是钟情于宾利，便劝说宾利放弃娶简，并且宾利先生的姐妹希望宾利可以迎娶达西的妹妹，从而铺平自己与达西的婚姻之路。在妹妹和好友达西的劝说下，宾利不辞而别，去了伦敦，但简对他还是一片深情。不过，好在经过一番波折之后，这对有情人终成眷属。这是小说中的第一桩美满的婚姻。

简对世界怀着美好的期望，从不轻易论人是非，当她听说别人的丑态时，她的第一反应是可惜，而不是痛恨。宾利先生对所有人彬彬有礼，开朗健谈，在舞会上，他积极的跳舞和交谈，内心的思想从不被门第观念所羁绊，对简一往情深，二人宽容随和的性格使得他们的生活和谐美满。

2.伊丽莎白与达西

达西先生(Darcy)是宾利先生的好朋友，他出身名族，家产巨大，风度翩翩，一表人才，他虽不如宾利那么随和，但比宾利先生更加敏锐。举止粗俗的人，他是不屑于交谈的。不了解他的人常误以为他目中无人，很是傲慢。伊丽莎白(Elizabeth)是班内特夫妇的二女儿，她虽不如简美丽，却机敏聪慧，谈吐不俗，讨人喜爱。二人初次见面就很不愉快。随着故事的发展，达西逐渐爱上了伊丽莎白。但他觉得伊丽莎白的母亲与妹妹举止粗俗不堪，出身卑贱，地位低下。他不肯屈尊俯就，于是将这段感情藏而不露。伊丽莎白认为达西傲慢无礼，再加上威克姆(Wickham)的中伤，对达西偏见日深，深恶痛绝。达西无法抑制对伊丽莎白的感情，向她求婚，遭到伊丽莎白的断然拒绝和怒斥。两人在相互的交往中加深了解，在得知达西的真实品性之后，伊丽莎白的偏见也随之冰释，并随之生出爱慕之情。误会得到消除，两人喜结良缘。

这是本书中一段迂回曲折，波澜起伏的爱情故事，也是贯穿本书的主线。他们的婚姻建立在相互了解，相互爱慕的基础上。是当时社会里典型的理想婚姻。伊丽莎白聪慧过人，不畏世俗，不屈从于达西的姨母凯瑟琳(Catherine)夫人，敢于表达自己的想法，追求自己的幸福。她性格倔强，从不在任何人面前低头，她曾在凯瑟琳夫人的质问下这样回答:“最小的妹妹和最大的姐姐都有享受青春快乐的权利，因为姐姐们无法早嫁，妹妹们就不能出来社交，我认为这对妹妹们是相当苛刻的。”在当时的社会背景下，能有这样的想法实属罕见。达西检讨了自己过去的行为，转而对伊丽莎白的家人礼貌有加，热情关注，可见对伊丽莎白用情之深。他们婚后的生活甜蜜有趣，是本书的另一桩美好婚姻。

3.莉迪亚与威克姆

班内特夫妇的第五个女儿莉迪亚(Lydia)，虽然年龄最小，却有些早熟。她生性放荡，胆大粗野。在军官驻扎在小镇附近时，她乐于与他们交往，享受男人殷勤的追求。她与青年军官威克姆谈情说爱，最后居然与其私奔。后经达西先生搭救在免于身败名裂。威克姆外表英俊，俨然绅士，本质上却是个不折不扣的浪荡子，他债台高筑，曾因为钱财引诱达西小姐。他们婚后感情一落千丈，二人同床异梦，经济拮据，生活不幸，经常向他们的姐姐伊丽莎白求助。

这是简·奥斯丁笔下的一桩以美貌和情色为基础的不幸婚姻。4.卢卡斯与柯林斯

柯林斯(Collins)先生是个愚蠢势力的小人，他因要继承班内特先生的财产而深感不安，想在5个姐妹中挑取一个作为自己的妻子，以此作为补偿。在遭到伊丽莎白的拒绝后，柯林斯马上向伊丽莎白最好的朋友卢卡斯(Lucas)小姐求婚。最后和卢卡斯结为夫妇。卢卡斯小姐年满27岁，既不漂亮又没有财产，她像当时大多数女性一样，“她既不看中男人，又不看中夫妻生活，一贯只把结婚当作她自己的人生目标。”她所需要的不过是一个舒适的家。她最终成为了牧师住宅的主妇，两人之间毫无婚姻幸福可言。这是一桩“牺牲一切高尚感情，来屈就世俗利益”的不幸婚姻。

以上即是《傲慢与偏见》里的四段婚姻，但伊丽莎白的几个姐妹和女友的婚事，这些都是陪衬，用来与女主人公伊丽莎白理想的婚姻相对照。如卢卡斯和柯林斯尽管婚后过着舒适的物质生活，但他们之间没有爱情，这种婚姻实际上是掩盖在华丽外衣下的社会悲剧。作者借助班内特家庭的缩影折射出18世纪的英国乡村当时的社会婚姻意识, 反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。婚姻悲剧在那一时代是很普遍的，班内特家庭发生的事情只是当时社会婚姻意识的一个代表。究其根本原因，很简单，即那个时候的封建势力相当强大，妇女地位低下，生活在社会的底层，生活圈子相当狭窄，根本无法选择自己喜欢的生活与婚姻，社会的不平等性成了那一时代的婚姻典型，享受爱情是一种奢侈，嫁一户有权钱的人家才是值得贺喜的大事。妇女没有工作，没有得以维持生计的能力，只有依靠婚姻这条路来为将来的生活来源做打算。这是解决将来生计的最普遍、也是最行之有效的方法。如书中所描写的，每一位太太在后半生最大的愿望便是嫁女儿，让她们未来在丈夫的资产庇护下得以生存。这与本书篇首“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.凡是有钱的单身汉，都需要一位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。”呼应，所以郡里一旦来了一位有钱的绅士，母亲们便把他看作是自家某个女儿理所应得的财产。这也自然而然的说明了当班纳特太太得知伊丽莎白拒绝柯林斯的求婚后为何十分气愤，责怪女儿不明智的原因。以柯林斯在金钱方面的条件而言，可以保证伊丽莎白将来有安定、温饱的生活，在其母亲看来，放弃这样一棵“摇钱树”是一种无理取闹。在她年轻的时候，也是通过婚姻来衣食无忧，现在她更有义务要求女儿们以此获得“幸福”，没有原因，这是她的过来经历，是一种规律，是英国社会当时的婚姻法则。这便是那一时代的资本主义社会，婚姻怪圈便是金钱至上的一个体现。

《傲慢与偏见》以社会女性主义观点切入，检视奥斯汀的社会背景，探索社会环境如何影响女性在面临婚姻时，内心的焦虑与挣扎。就社会女性主义者而言，物质环境为塑造女性婚姻意识的决定因素。事实上，婚姻，就小说人物而言，为一个阶级交换与经济交流的市场。为了达成结婚的目的，女性人物擅于把自己转化成商品，展示其外貌与才艺，吸引男性目光。此一时期女性受到社会价值的鼓励，利用其女性特质来赢得婚姻伴侣。虽本书通篇是伊丽莎白幽默的俏皮话，可是这种俏皮话之下覆盖隐藏的却是那一时代的人们无尽的苦恼、不满、遗恨。或许不幸、不平等太多了，变成了麻木，于是令人羡慕、认可的“幸福”背后，堆砌着的是金钱、泪水、悔恨、遗憾，唯一没有的便是真爱。作者崇尚的是自由自主的婚姻，作者用辛辣的笔锋嘲讽世俗，通过自己的笔塑造出伊丽莎白这一进步形象来告诉读者，像宾利夫妇与达西夫妇那样理想的婚姻是可能出现的，并且鼓励人们去勇敢追求理想的婚姻与生活。
