Pride and Prejudice

Adapted from Jane Austin’s novel, the movie Pride and Prejudice has impressed me a lot .The plot brings me back to the late 1980s conservative England society where the story is set.

Though born in a small landowner family, Elizabeth has a strong sense of self-respect. Once rejected by Darcy for the dancing, she considers him as an arrogant man and determines to leave him aside. But she never knows that Darcy has fallen in love with her at the first sight and this rude behavior is probably due to shyness. In addition, Darcy persuades Bingley to leave Elizabeth’s sister Jane. Thus, when Darcy shows his affection for her, she rejected him firmly. After many things, Elizabeth eventually realizes that Darcy gradually turns to be a very helpful and kind-hearted man and accepts his affection. It is obvious that they both dare love in spite of the wide gap between family status.

By contrast, Elizabeth’s good friend Charlotte shows different

attitudes towards marriage. Complying with the society’s cognition level, she marries Collins. What must be noticed is that she marries for a comfortable life, not for love, and has to endure her husband’s strange behaviors. And from then on, she has to live a lamentable life.

Elizabeth’s rejection to Collins’s proposal suggests that she is different from most girls then. She is strong-minded, wise and courageous and she wants a piece of marriage based on feeling, which contributes to the enviable marriage.

From what has been discussed above, we can conclude girls are supposed to struggle for their own happiness, which needs courage and persistence. They ought to be strong-minded and make their own decisions. And this is the same with girls today.

第二篇：Pride and Prejudice傲慢与偏见读后感 英文版

"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen started off annoying me and ended up enchanting me. Up until about page one hundred I found this book vexing, frivolous and down right tedious. I now count myself as a convert to the Austen cult.

I must confess I have been known to express an antipathy for anything written or set before 1900. I just cannot get down with corsets, outdoor plumbing and buggy rides. Whenever someone dips a quill into an inkwell my eyes glaze over. This is a shortcoming I readily own up to but have no desire to correct. So I admit to not starting this book with the highest of hopes. I did really enjoy Ang Lee's "Sense and Sensibility" however and so when my friend threw the gauntlet down I dutifully picked it up. Boy did I hate him at first. To get anywhere with this book one has to immerse oneself in the realities of life and marriage in the nineteenth century. At first all this talk of entailment and manners just left me cold. I liked the language to be sure. Austen's dialogue is delightful through out but dialogue alone (no matter how delicious) does not a great novel make.

A hundred pages or so in though I started to see what a shrewd eye for character this Austen woman had. Mr. Collins was the first person I marvelled at. His character springs forth fully formed as a total but somehow loveable ass. From that point on I found much to love about this book. I was so into it by the end that I was laughing at some characters, sympathizing with others and clucking my tongue at an unhappy few. In short I was completely absorbed. In conclusion I must now count myself a fan of Miss Austen's novels (and not just their fim adaptations) and do so look forward to acqauinting myself with more of her work in the future. "Emma" anyone?
