奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》,正如她自己所说,是在两寸象牙上细细的雕刻,它是奥斯汀的代表作.这部反映婚姻问题的小说是作者作品中最受欢迎的一部,也是她本人最喜欢的作品.作品生动的反映了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.其社会风情画似的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者,实至今日,仍给读者以独特的艺术享受.她是第一个现实地描绘日常平凡生活中平凡恩的小说家,在英国小说史上起了承上启下的作用. 从小说看，伊丽莎白聪敏机智，有胆识，有远见，有很强的自尊心，并善于思考问题。就当时一个待字闺中的小姐来讲，这是难能可贵的。正是由于这种品质，才使她在爱情问题上有独立的主见，并导致她与达西组成美满的家庭。
在《傲慢与偏见》中，奥斯丁还写了伊丽莎白的几个姐妹和女友的婚事，这些都是陪衬，用来与女主人公理想的婚姻相对照。如夏绿蒂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。 《傲慢与偏见》虽是一出闪烁著斗智意味的爱情轻喜剧，实则说明了人必须行动和自省才有希望，人的尊严绝不是与生俱来的，而是从行动和自省中淬炼获得，透过理性的行动，把人类的王国建立得具有一个心灵价值的模式，以与物质俗世有别。大体上，人的生存没有意义，但从小体上看，人本身的行动却深具意义，即使只是儿女私情的往来。
