Abstract
Jane Austen is a famous novelist in Britain. She witnesses the development of the Romanism and Realism. Her six books are successful which have been translated into different languages and issued around the world. In the time when the Romanism and Gothic novels were prevailing, Austen persisted in her own style, and she was good at observing the surrounding and the world in unique female perspective.
This paper is based on the character, Mr. Collins, in Pride and Prejudice to research Austen’s tendency of feminism. The first part introduces Austen’s life experience and her works; the second part introduces other people’s researches on Austen and her tendency of feminism; the third part researches the development of feminism and feminist literature theory. The fourth part analyzes Mr. Collins’ attitude to social status, property, marriage and his different roles in the family. The conclusion is that Mr. Collins’ patriarchal notion is rooted. Austen discloses the unfairness to women in the patriarchal society by exposing Mr. Collins’ characteristics, which shows Austen’s tendency of feminism.
Key words: Jane Austen, feminism, Mr. Collins, patriarchal society, Pride and Prejudice
