According to analyzing different kinds of marriage in Pride and Prejudice, we can find that not all marriage in this novel is happy, so the different kinds of marriage in Pride and Prejudice still have significant meaning for the young in the modern society: we can accept neither the marriage without love nor the marriage due to the impulse of sexual desire。 A true happy marriage must be based on sensible choice and love。

3。 Four Different Marriages in Pride and Prejudice 

3。1 Jane and Bingley 来自优W尔Y论W文C网WWw.YoueRw.com 加QQ7520,18766

     In some way, the marriage between Jane and Bingley was very happy。 Their marriage was in keeping with the common people’s expectation that Bingley was handsome, well behaved and kind to others and Jane was gentle and reserved。 This couple almost represented all the traditional virtues。 In China, we may call them “the beauty and the geek”。 They fell in love at first sight and finally entered into the marriage chapel after going through many difficulties。 However, their marriage was little different from that in the traditional literature works。 Jane came from middle class while Bingley belonged to high class, and at that time, people only accepted well-matched marriage, so the marriage between Jane and Bingley was a shock to that era。

3。2 Lydia and Wickham

     Lydia was the youngest girl in the Bennet family。 She was simple-minded and frivolous。 In other words, her mind was occupied by vanity。 She never took love and marriage seriously。 She entered the society at a young age and lingered on social activities。 What she pursued and loved was to seduce rich and handsome men and indulge herself in love and romance。 Just because of her foolishness, she was tempted by gorgeous Wickham and finally eloped with him。 However, Lydia did not know well about Wickham and did not realize that Wickham was immoral and idle。 Then under the help of Darcy, Lydia and Wickham got married, but their marriage was not happy because it was not based on love but on erotic feeling。 And after marriage, Wickham often went out to pursue pleasure, indifferent to Lydia’s feeling。

3。3 Charlotte and Collins

     The marriage between Charlotte and Collins was more sensible。 However, in their marriage, social status and property played an important role。 In a word, they got married just because of their own benefit。 Although Charlotte was well educated, clever and quick-witted, she had neither exceptional appearance nor property。 As a result, Charlotte did not get married until 27。 Charlotte was different from Lydia in that she yearned for romantic love and knew that love was the basis of marriage。 However, taking into her age and property into consideration, Charlotte had to choose Collins who had a certain amount of property and social status。 Collins had the right to inherit the property of the Bennet family, but Collins was stupid, rude, obsequious and even his job, vicar, was the spoil of his flattery。 Elizabeth refused Collins’s proposal because she detested his self-content, hypocrisy and flattery, while Charlotte grasped this opportunity and got married with Collins。 In this marriage, Charlotte won the courtyard, house, furniture, and since then, Charlotte lived a life without worrying about food or clothing。 Charlotte was clever enough to know that her marriage between Collins was not based on love, but she could get the guarantee of material。

3。4 Elizabeth and Darcy

     Elizabeth and Darcy were the main characters in Pride and Prejudice。 Their love went through ups and downs and was unforgettable。 Elizabeth was not only clever but had outstanding appearance, but in the party, Darcy’s desolate and inattentive attitude hurt Elizabeth’s self-esteem, as a result, Elizabeth had prejudice against Darcy。 At the beginning of the novel, Elizabeth and Darcy got into a dispute。 However, thanks to the dispute, Elizabeth and Darcy gradually knew about each other and finally fell in love with each other。 After the party, Elizabeth did not like Darcy because Darcy’s insolence and Darcy ignored Elizabeth’s virtues and merits due to Elizabeth’s social status and her shabby relatives, but in fact, Elizabeth was penetrating, brave, beautiful and had her own belief。 论文网
