《傲慢与偏见》读后感
《傲慢与偏见》是英国著名女作家简·奥斯丁的代表作,作品描写傲慢的单身青年达西与偏见的二小姐伊丽莎白、富裕的单身贵族,彬格莱与贤淑的大小姐吉英之间的感情纠葛。其实这本书,在初一时已经接触过了,但当时对于剧情的繁杂很没有耐心,看了几章就没有了兴致,便一直搁在一旁,直至今日才重新拾起。不过再看开头几章时还是觉得很无趣,到后来明白才这里是在为以后的情景埋伏笔。一眨眼,三十几章已经过去了,人物的性格也很明显地被作者刻画出来了。
这本书中似乎只有两种人:聪明的和愚蠢的,没有绝对的好坏之分,骗子韦翰也许除外。他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。可笑他的话里充满破绽,而聪明过人的伊丽莎白虽能与彬格来小姐辩驳,与咖苔琳夫人顶撞,却还是被韦翰牵着鼻子走。说实话,我并不认为伊丽莎白被骗说明他是一个”愚人”。人,总是先入为主,达西先生傲慢、无礼的样子早已进入伊丽莎白的头脑,还怎么对他产生好感?对于旁人的点评又怎能轻易的置若罔闻?对达西产生偏见是很正常的。我说的旁人自然就是指相貌堂堂的韦翰了。不可否认,韦翰长着一张英俊的脸,表面上也装得非常”绅士”。虽有”人不可貌相”、”知人知面不知心”之说可就连我这个活在二十一世纪,以旁观者的身份看这个故事,仍然对韦翰产生好感,又岂能怨伊丽莎白这一个生活在过去时代的姑娘?合上这本书,仔细地品味一番,方才发现,整部小说,之所以吸引人,完全是因为它轻松幽默的格调。伊丽莎白的嘲笑讽刺,正将那些自视绅士、淑女的贵族的本来面目暴露无疑。而伊丽莎白的父亲班纳特先生竟然以嘲笑太太、女儿为家庭快乐。
这部小说中通过班耐特五个女儿对待终身大事的不同处理,表现出乡镇中产阶级家庭出身的少女对婚姻爱情问题的不同态度,从而反映了作者本人的婚姻观: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。书中的女主人公伊丽莎白出身于小地主家庭,为富豪子弟达西所热爱。达西不顾门第和财富的差距,向她求婚,却遭到拒绝。伊丽莎白对他的误会和偏见是一个原因,但主要的是她讨厌他的傲慢。
因为达西的这种傲慢实际上是地位差异的反映,只要存在这种傲慢,他与伊丽莎白之间就不可能有共同的思想感情,也不可能有理想的婚姻。以后伊丽莎白亲眼观察了达西的为人处世和一系列所作所为,特别是看到他改变了过去那种骄傲自负的神态,消除了对他的误会和偏见,从而与他缔结了美满姻缘。伊丽莎白对达西先后几次求婚的不同态度,实际上反映了女性对人格独立和平等权利的追求。这是伊丽莎白这一人物形象的进步意义。
奥斯丁的小说尽管题材比较狭窄,故事相当平淡,但是她善於在日常平凡事物中塑造鲜明的人物形象,不论是伊丽莎白、达西那种作者认为值得肯定的人物,还是魏克翰、柯林斯这类遭到讽刺挖苦的对象,都写得真实动人。使我受益匪浅。

About the story:
Jane Austen is this novel’s writer who is a famous writer in the world,and she is famoused with her a series of novel.s.
Mrs.Bennet had five daughters,and marrying all her daughters was her biggest wish .In a genteel ball, Mr. Bingley , a friendly young man,also the host,fell in love with Jane at first sight.Jane was Mrs.Bennet 's first daughter who was simple,pure and never speaks evil of others. Darcy ,who was Bingley 's good friend ,a very proud man who seemed to always feel superior, was fond of Jane’s sister,Elizabeth. But his arrogance behavior and the smear from Wickham led Elizabeth to misunderstand and was biassed against Darcy .
Darcy couldn't restrain himself from loving Elizabeth ,so he proposed to her.But his attitude was still so arrogant ,Elizabeth declined firmly.This hit made Darcy noticed the consequence from proud and conceited for the first time. Leaving a long letter to explain the things around him and Elizabeth, he left her painfully. She felt regret after reading it . Not only feel guilty for misunderstanding of Darcy , but also ashamed for the behavior of her mother.
Elizabeth gradually changed her views of Darcy. When Darcy met her in his own manor again, his sincere attitude and dignified behavior made her considerably surprised.Finally ,they walked out of the frog which was pride and prejudice .It could be called a happy ending.
There are seven different marriages presented in the novel. Excluding the Gardiner and the Lucas, the remaining five marriages contrasts each other to reveal Jane’s opinions and thoughts on the subject of marriage.
The marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth reveals the characteristics which constitutes a successful marriage. One of these characteristics is that the feeling cannot be brought on by appearances, and must gradually develop between the two people as they get to know one another. In the beginning, Elizabeth and Darcy were distant from each other because of their prejudice. The series of events which they both experienced gave them the opportunity to understand one another and the time to reconcile their feelings for each other. Thus, their mutual understanding is the foundation of their relationship and will lead them to a peaceful and lasting marriage. This relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy reveals the importance of getting to know one’s partner before marrying. The marriage between Jane Bennet and Bingley is also an example of successful marriage. Jane Austen, through Elizabeth, expresses her opinion of this in the novel.
The last example of a marriage is a of a different nature than the ones mentioned above. The marriage between Mr. Collins and Charlotte is based on economics rather than on love or appearance. It was a common practice during Austen’s time for
women to marry a husband to save herself from spinsterhood or to gain financial security. However, Jane Austen viewed this as a type of prostitution and disapproved of it. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen dramatizes this form of women inequality and show that women who submits themselves to this type of marriage will have to suffer in tormenting silence as Charlotte does.
In Pride and Prejudice, Jane has denounced the elements of marriage and society that she found distasteful. These are the conclusions of her observation of the people in her world. However in her writing, Jane has also reflected her own enjoyment in life among these people with and without their faults.
About my opinions:
Believe it or not,I have readed this story no less times no matter book movie. I readed it again and again,and the more time I read the story is more than a love story I found.
I like this story for the outsdanding characteristic of the characters.
A good book not only can bring you exciting,but also give you some further thingking.From the Pride and Prejudice,I lean a lot.First,it’s stupid to judge a person by the first impression and always have prejudice on the person who you don’t like.In a word,we can’t judge a person without any further reconigse or by other people’s words.Just like Elizabeth,under Wickham’s evil speaking she judge Darcy wad a pround and hatest man and began to have prejudice on him,and kept misunderstanding him.As a reselt,she was failed to see the merists of darcy.Other example,Mr.Binely persuadeed himself run away from falling in love with june for having heard Darcy’s word that June didn’t like him,at least no more deeper than him.This hurted two loved heart.They even almost missed each other. By the way,we can learn that pride sometimes will make you far away from others.You can’t deny that the country people didn’t like Darcy very much no matter how rich he.For,he always feels superior to the country people.And,because Darcy’s pround,he offended the girl he love.
Then, After reading this book, I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs.Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. Why is she so crazy about that?I know it’s because of money. money is very important for our lives. Money is required for food, shelter,and clothing, so many things in our life need money. With money, you can make your life more comfortable . You will be able to buy a big house with servants.But, Can money determine everything?How could a marriage maintain without love bue just for money?From the marriage between Charlotte Lucas and Mr. Collins, we found that their marriage totally depended on the position, money, and the background, not the love. Most women choose the men who can satisfy their material comforts to be their husbands at that time, just like Charlotte Lucas. She married Mr. Collins although she shared no common interests with him. She didn’t love him while she married him indeed. She persuaded herself to tolerate her husband’s strange and foolish behavior, and her only comfort
was her big new house and rich material life. While in my eye, it’s really unfortunate to rest hope on the material comforts for her rest life. Although sometimes it’s necessary to consider the property, position, and background in the marriage, it’s stupit to marry just for the money. Charlotte Lucas married for the possession not love, and on the other hand, Mr. Collins married her because he needed a wife, not for love, either. Their marriage seemed to be necessary but not happy. But how to maintain the marriage without love? Fortunately,I don’t know more them in the end of the book.
About other readers’opinions;
1: After reading this book,so many opinions accured to me. It’s really a good book to make me think much. Only can I remember is—-money and marriage. 2: he most popular among the Austen's volumes is Pride and Prejudice that takes the theme of love and marriage in a mildly humorous way of expression. As a female writer, she shows different attitudes toward marriage by depicting several young women of different descent, economic position and horizon of knowledge. A simple theme introduces a great deal of what is about life. The whole book teems with authoress' wit and insight.And this inclination and
intention cannot escape from the reach of her living circle and reveal some of her points about worldly life.
3:Love perhas is deveople by misundersdanding which make lovers know more each other and fall in love with each other.Maybe we need forgivention sprit.
4:As a lady ,I think ,we should take a more objective view to sentiment. Reputation is the most important thing in a girl’s life whenever and
wherever,just as Elisabth.
