摘 要
简•奥斯丁（1775-1817）是19世纪英国著名的女作家之一。作为当地郊区牧师之女，奥斯汀虽未进过正式学校，但是她受到家人良好的教育。事实上，除了绘画以及钢琴演奏这两个当时女性必须受的教育以外，她所受的其他教育就是阅读她父亲的书，不管是严肃的还是流行文学的书。她的父亲有一个拥有500本藏书的图书馆，因此她读了很多书。后来，在她11或者12岁的时候，奥斯汀开始写作。在她的生活中，她一直醉心于写作，但是很少受到公众的注意。《傲慢与偏见》是她的代表作，这部著作以日常生活为素材，一反当时社会上流行的伤感小说和矫揉造作的写作手法，生动地反映了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。奥斯汀在这部小说中通过班内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出生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。从小说中看，伊丽莎白聪明机智，有胆识有远见，有很强的自尊心，并善于思考问题。就当时一个待嫁闺中的小姐来讲，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。夏洛特论才华和美貌都与伊丽莎白不相伯仲，可是她并没有勇敢坚持自己的爱情，英语论文题目，屈服于现实而嫁给了平庸的柯林斯先生。伊丽莎白与夏洛特都是美丽漂亮的女子，但是正是由于她们在生活背景，英语论文范文，性格以及价值观上的不一样造就了她们不同的婚姻选择。

In this novel Austen describes different attitudes toward marriage of Bennet’s five daughters, which shows different attitudes of girls who were born in the township middle class family toward love and marriage issues, thus reflecting the author's view of marriage. From the novel Elizabeth is clever, courageous and visionary, and she also has a strong self-esteem, and good thinking. As one of girls to be married at that time, this is commendable.

So she married to Mr.Collins in order to lead her comfortable life.Elizabeth and Charlotte are all beautiful women.But because of their different background ,character and attitudes to marriage,they choose different marriage.
