Book Review : Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a very claic book written by Jane Austen, an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction , is one of the most well-known writers in the world.Her realism and biting social commentary has gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.Pride and Prejudice is one of the representative works of Jane Austen, first published in 1813.Though the story\'s setting is turn-of-the-19th-century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of most loved books.The novel mainly tells us a love story between Elizabeth who from a poor family and Mr.Darcy who is a rich young man and used to be very proud .It is at a ball that Elizabeth meets Mr.Darcy for the first time and his pride and supercilious behaviors has left Elizabeth a terrible impreion .This is the reason why Elizabeth\'s prejudice towards him at first .Besides this reason , there are two other reasons strengthens Elizabeth\'s prejudice .The first is that Wickham speaks ill of Mr.Darcy behind his back, which makes she thinks him is unworthy to knowing more about him .The second one is that Elizabeth regards Darcy is the person who separates her sister Jane and Mr.Bingley .But with the plots developing ,Darcy has changed himself and become no longer pride ,he also helps Jane and Bingley\'s reunion .All these factor change Elizabeth\'s attitude towards Darcy.Eventually , Elizabeth and Darcy break all the obstacles and become a couple and lead a happy life from then on.From the book, we can see, owingto Darcy’s proud, he offends the girl he loves, and because of the prejudice, Elizabeth is failed to see the advantage of Darcy, but fortunately, they didn’t mi each other ultimately.I still remember the first sentence said in the book: “It is a truth well known to the world that an unmarried man in poeion of a large fortune must be in need of a wife.” Through this sentence I think maybe the writer want to tell us her views and attitudes about love and marriage.So the theme is very clear : Marriage should be based on a real love .the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but poeion.Love seems to be a perpetual theme all the time .I love this story, it arouse people’s awarene of the importance of true love in a marriage , also it make me believe the true love.
All shall be well, Jack shall have Jill.
