At that time, Jane Austen also has the special opinion on the ideal marriage，that is her pragmatic marriage which she maintains on her own. She thinks that marriage should be based on money and property. Meanwhile, “family status” also plays an important part on the marriage. Through the general analysis and exploration about the heroes’ and heroines’ social status, character, manner dealing with things and final ending from Jane Austen’s two novels, we find her pragmatic marriage’s specific meaning.
