读《傲慢与偏见》有感
“凡是有钱的单身汉,总想要娶位太太,这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。”第一次听到这句话是在英语听力课上,当时老师念的是英文,只觉得挺幽默的便刘鑫记了下来,后来我才知道这是《傲慢与偏见》的开头。
《傲慢与偏见》,我先看的是凯特奈特莉电影版,班纳特家的五个女儿个性都被诠释得很明了,达西先生的傲慢也被展现得很真实,整个故事看下情节跌宕起伏,画面也十分精彩。所以我忍不住要再去看原著,但阅读文章什么的又是另外一种特别的感觉了,简奥斯汀的语言中,带着一丝讽刺的幽默,我时常忍俊不禁,却又难免叹息连连。
故事要表达的显而易见,简奥斯汀以有偏见的伊丽莎白与骄傲的达西的爱情为主线,突出表现了当时中产阶级家庭出身的少女对婚姻爱情问题的不同态度。故事一共讲述了四段爱情,不,应该说是四段婚姻。容貌美丽、性情温柔的简与个性随和,仪表堂堂的宾利先生;活泼大方、聪慧与美貌并俱的伊丽莎白和家财丰厚,难免骄傲的达西先生;好玩乐钱财,为人轻浮的五女儿莉迪亚与虚伪但是英俊的军官魏克翰,安静又现实的夏洛蒂与伊丽莎白自以为是的表哥柯斯林。
但是作者最推崇的,始终是伊丽莎白和达西先生之间的爱情。爱情是一种奇妙的东西,当伊丽莎白第一次见到达西的时候,达西表现出高贵的举止和傲慢的态度,他拒绝了伊丽莎白的跳舞邀请,这让伊丽莎白感到十分不悦,达西和宾利的对话更是严重戳伤了伊丽莎白的自尊心,紧接着魏克翰的颠倒黑白又让她对达西更加厌恶。可是达西却在这时候无法抑制地爱上了她。其实,达西对伊丽莎白的好感,从第二次舞会就开始了。他带着挑剔的目光说她还不够美得让他心动,却不得不承认她的舞姿轻盈,招人喜爱。尽管他一口咬定她缺乏上流社会的风度,但却被她落落大方的调皮劲儿所吸引。达西已经陷进去了,在爱情里,最先陷进去的人,付出最多。所以,达西会为了伊丽莎白改变自己的傲慢,他开始和她的家人亲戚接触,暗中帮助她解决麻烦事。但是这时候的伊丽莎白对他的偏见已经占据了她对达西的所有感觉。所以当达西放下傲慢鼓起勇气向她求婚的时候,她讽刺又断然地拒绝了,两人言辞激烈地争吵了一番。后来,伊丽莎白通过达西的留信才明白一切都是误会,达西才是真正的受害者,魏克翰其实是外善内恶之人。
伊丽莎白为自己的愚蠢自责后悔,对达西也有了改观。尤其是达西第二年夏天回来后待人接物均彬彬有礼。她的偏见彻底消除了,也渐渐对达西有了情意。
从讨厌到感激,再到喜欢,最后是深爱,这一过程里将伊丽莎白的偏见同达西的傲慢紧密联系在一起,又渐渐消磨掉两人之间的傲慢与偏见,使得相爱的两个人最终幸福地走到了一起。故事证明“初次印象”往往是不可靠的,而偏见又比无知更可怕。而傲慢就如同书中所讲一般“傲慢是一般人的通病,人性特别容易趋于这方面,简直谁都不免因为自己具有了某种品质而自命不凡。一个人可以骄傲而不可以虚荣。”
简奥斯汀认为婚姻是关系到终身幸福的东西,应该严谨以待,切不可被表面所蒙蔽。而我们在追求爱情的路上也是如此,如果因为一些名利和金钱就放弃了自己的真爱或者牺牲了自己的真爱来做婚姻的牺牲品,你一定会后悔一生的。如果你发现对方有自己所不能容忍的,你就应该及时提出,如果你提出来了对方还是不愿更改或无法更改,那么还是趁早放弃吧,有时候放手也是一种幸福。记得老班纳特先生说过一句很适用的话,“除非你找一个真正让你信服的丈夫,不然你的生活很难幸福。”

弃我去者,昨日之日不可留乱我心者,今日之日多烦忧Impressions of Pride and PrejudiceI’ve read a book called Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen during this winter holidays. Jane Austen was unmarried all her life. She was born in a mid-class family and was brought up in a comfortable environment with harmonious surroundings, so there’s not too many conflicts in her sight neither in her novel. In Pride and Prejudice she talked different ideas about love and marriage through different characters.The novel has told an interesting story: Mr. Bennet is an English gentleman with an estate in Hertfordshire. He has five unmarried daughters but no sons while his inheritance must be inherited by a male, so Mrs. Bennet has been keen to seek husband for her daughters with great enthusiasm. One day the Bennets had a new neighbor called Bingley who was a wealthy bachelor and followed be the target of Mrs. Bennet. At a ball Bingley fell in love with Jane Bennet who’s the oldest daughter of the Bennets. Bingley’s friend Darcy also came to the ball and struck the sights, many girls liked him while he thought all of them couldn’t suit his preference, including Elizabeth. Mr. Darcy always shows others a impression of pride, having found this Elizabeth began to hate Mr. Darcy. Before long Darcy fell in love with Elizabeth Bennett(second oldest daughter in the Bennets) because of her lovely behavior, while Elizabeth is disgusted by his pride and has a prejudice about him. The official Wickham was welcomed by the villagers, and Elizabeth also took a shine to him. Wickham told Elizabeth that his father had been the steward of the Darcys. The old Darcy had regarded Wickham as his own son and showed more love to him than to Mr. Darcy. After the old Darcy died, the property should be inherited by Wickham was all deprived by Mr. Darcy, also was his pastorate. All this increased Eli’s prejudice about Mr. Darcy. At another ball Mr. Darcy invited Elizabeth to dance with him, but Eli refused him. Eli’s elder male cousin Mr. Collin came to Hertfordshire to inherit the Bennett's property by rules, he wanted to marry with one of the Bennets. Having known that Jane was already engaged with Mr. Bingley, he asked Elizabeth to marry him but was seriously rejected. At last he proposed to Charllote who was Eli’s friend. Mr. Collins was good at flattering and he got the pastorate with the help of Lady Catherine. Once his family was invited to Rosings Garden by Lady Catherine. Elizabeth also went there with Mr. Collin and Charllote. There she met Mr. Darcy who’s Lady Catherine’s nephew. Later in a garden, Sir William told Eli about Mr. Darcy’s latest act of dissuading Mr. Bingley’s marring Jane Bennet which caused Eli’s exceedingly anger. Then Mr. Darcy came to the Collins’ and confessed his love for Elizabeth, of course he was rejected impolitely. Afterwards Mr. Darcy wrote a letter to Eli in order to remove her misunde
rstandings of him. Elizabeth’s uncle and aunt were also impressed by Mr. Darcy’s politeness. Gradually Eli’s prejudice of Mr. Darcy diappeared. Eventually they became couple.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 cause 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 female’s 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 no real love between them and this kind of marriage is surely a tragedy of society.
