Book Report -- Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by British female novelist Jane Austen. The novel describes the young squire Bennet\'s five daughters. The protagonist is the second daughter Elizabeth. She met Darcy at a party, but she heard that he was arrogant, and always rejected him. After a lot of twists and turns, Elizabeth lifted her prejudice against Darcy, Darcy also put down his arrogance, and finally they fell in love and lived together happily.
Love is an eternal theme in literature. There are many novels with love as the theme throughout the ages. And the book Pride and Prejudice can be so highly praised in the world, it must have its unique charm. Then I will try to evaluate the book from three aspects: language, creative background and theme.
I was impressed by the first sentence of the novel: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. This simple sentence at the beginning of the book hit the spot and pointed out that the essence of bourgeois marriage is the combination of interests. The novel also attracts readers through humorous language. This sense of humor is especially evident in Jane Austen\'s dialogue. The comic style of writing and special writing techniques make the reader laugh, but also make the reader can\'t help but read on and do some deep thinking.
This novel takes daily life as the material, contrary to the popular sentimental novel content and artificial writing method, vividly reflects the late 18th century to the early 19th century in the conservative and closed state of English village life and human conditions. The book filled with peace, quiet, harmony, order atmosphere, with a woman\'s unique meticulous observation, the real description of the world around her, especially the marriage and love waves between gentlemen and ladies. In this novel, Austen shows the different attitudes of girls from bourgeois families to marriage and love through the different treatment of Bennet\'s five daughters, which reflects the author\'s own view of marriage: it is wrong to marry for property, money and status; It would be foolish to get married without considering these factors. Therefore, she is against marrying for money, but also against treating marriage as a joke. She stressed the importance of the ideal marriage, and the relationship between the two sides as the cornerstone of the ideal marriage. Simply put, we marry for love, not profit. Elizabeth\'s different attitude towards Darcy\'s two marriage proposals actually reflects women\'s pursuit of personality independence and equal rights.
All in all, it\'s a great work. Now we can still draw spiritual strength from books, such as the spiritual qualities of independence and confidence.
