Abstract:“IT IS A TRUTH universally acknowledged,that a single man in possession of
a good fortune,must be in want of a wife.”Almost two centuries later,the deep
impression on readers left by the opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice has not
decreased because of their changing literary taste.As the author of Pride and
Prejudice,Jane Austen was one of the famous realistic writers in English literature in
the nineteenth century.Pride and Prejudice is Austen’s representative work.During
the forty-two years of her short life and a merry one,Austen wrote six full-length
works:Pride and Prejudice,Sense and Sensibility,Northanger Abbey,Mansfield Park,
Emma and Persuasion.
There were no earthshaking events,no dreadful disasters,no sharp
contradictions and no romantic legends in Authen’s novels.Time and space were
small in her novels.She wrote how a marriageable woman could find a satisfactory
husband.She described many kinds of love and marriage of different women.She
expressed her own original views of marriage in her works.
In Pride and Prejudice Austen wrote four marriage types:ideal Elizabeth and
Darcy,realizable Charlotte and Collins,felicitous Jane and Bingley,unhappy Lydia
and Wickham.She pointed out emphatically economic consideration is the bonds of
wedlock and love.She said marriage is not determined by property and family status;
it is unwise to marry without money,but it is wrong to marry for money;the marriage
settled by love is happy and ideal.
Based on Marxist social and economic theory,the thesis explicated that
Austen’s view of marriage was progressive,advocated by her focus on the equality
between men and women.She emphasized marriage should be of equal importance
both by love and by economic consideration but love plays the guiding role.She
revealed the connotation of marriage.She mercilessly criticized the patriarchy and the
view of marriage of her time.Her exposure is of great realistic significance to thesociety today.
Key Words:Pride and Prejudice,views of marriage,property and family status,
patriarchy,realistic significance
摘要:“凡是有财产的单身汉，必定需要娶位太太，这已经成为了一条举世公认的真理。”近两个世纪过去了，在《傲慢与偏见》这本书的开首一句话留给读者的深刻印象并没有因为文学趣味的变化而减退。《傲慢与偏见》这本书的作者简.奥斯丁是十九世纪英国文学史上最著名的现实主义作家之一。《傲慢与偏见》是奥斯丁的代表作。在奥斯丁短暂而精彩的42年生涯本论文由英语论文网 www.51lunwen.org整理提供中，共创作出了六部长篇小说：《傲慢与偏见》、《理智与情感》、《落桑觉寺》、《曼斯菲尔德庄园》、《爱玛》和《劝导》。
在奥斯丁的小说中，没有惊天动地的大事件，没有可怕的灾难，没有尖锐的矛盾和浪漫的传奇。她写作的时间和空间都不大。她写的多是未婚女子怎样找到一个满意的丈夫，写的是各种类型妇女的爱情生活和婚姻纠纷，表达了她独特的婚姻观。
奥斯丁在《傲慢与偏见》中描述了四种男女的婚姻类型：理想的伊丽莎白和达西、现实的夏络蒂和柯林斯、幸福的吉英和彬格莱以及不幸的丽迪雅和韦翰。她强调了经济状况对妇女爱情和婚姻的束缚，指出婚姻不应该只由财产门第来决定，虽然找一个没钱的人结婚是不明智的，但是为金钱而结婚也是错误的，建立在爱情基础上的婚姻才是理想和幸福的。本论本论文由英语论文网 www.51lunwen.org整理提供文主要以马克思主义社会经济学说为依据，来阐明奥斯丁的婚姻观是前卫的，她提倡的是一种爱情与经济并重而又以爱情为重的婚姻观，还强调了男女之间的平等，揭示了婚姻的内涵，对当时社会的父权制婚姻观进行了鞭鞑。对今天社会来讲，她的揭示也有着相当的现实意义。
