傲慢与偏见英语读后感 篇一
After reading Pride and Prejudice, I was deeply impressed by Jane Austen's remarkable storytelling skills and her insightful portrayal of human nature. The novel revolves around the complex relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, and explores themes of love, marriage, social class, and personal growth.
One of the most striking aspects of the novel is Austen's sharp wit and satirical commentary on the society of her time. Through her characters, she exposes the hypocrisy, arrogance, and narrow-mindedness that often prevail in the upper class. Mr. Darcy, for instance, initially comes across as proud and condescending, while Elizabeth is quick to judge and dismiss others based on their social status. However, as the story progresses, both characters learn to overcome their prejudices and grow as individuals.
Elizabeth's character development is particularly inspiring. She starts off as a strong-willed and independent young woman who refuses to conform to societal expectations. Her refusal to marry for convenience or social status sets her apart from her peers, and her sharp wit and intelligence make her a compelling protagonist. Throughout the novel, Elizabeth's interactions with Mr. Darcy challenge her preconceived notions and force her to reevaluate her biases. The gradual transformation of their relationship is beautifully depicted, and their eventual union is a testament to the power of self-reflection and personal growth.
Another aspect of the novel that I found fascinating is Austen's exploration of the role of women in society. In a time when women were expected to marry for financial security and social status, Elizabeth stands out as a symbol of female empowerment. She refuses to compromise her principles and settle for a loveless marriage, and instead holds out for true love and emotional fulfillment. Austen's portrayal of Elizabeth as an intelligent, strong-willed woman challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the importance of personal happiness and self-fulfillment.
Overall, Pride and Prejudice is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate readers with its compelling characters, engaging plot, and insightful social commentary. Jane Austen's keen observations and sharp wit make the novel a delightful read, while its exploration of universal themes such as love, marriage, and personal growth make it relevant even in today's society. As I turned the final page, I was left with a renewed appreciation for the power of self-reflection, the dangers of prejudice, and the importance of staying true to oneself.
傲慢与偏见英语读后感 篇二
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a literary gem that has stood the test of time. As I delved into the pages of this classic novel, I was transported to the elegant world of Regency England and captivated by the intricate web of relationships and the social dynamics that unfolded.
One of the aspects that struck me the most about Pride and Prejudice is Austen's mastery in crafting multi-dimensional characters. Each character is unique and distinct, with their own quirks and flaws. From the witty and strong-willed Elizabeth Bennet to the brooding and enigmatic Mr. Darcy, Austen breathes life into her characters, making them relatable and compelling. Through their interactions, she explores the complexities of human nature and the intricacies of relationships, painting a vivid portrait of love, marriage, and social class.
The theme of pride and prejudice is central to the novel and is portrayed through the character development of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. At first, both characters exhibit a strong sense of pride and prejudice, which leads to misunderstandings and conflicts. Elizabeth's initial prejudice against Mr. Darcy blinds her to his true character, while Darcy's pride prevents him from expressing his true feelings. However, as the story progresses, they both undergo a transformative journey of self-reflection and personal growth. They learn to overcome their own biases and prejudices, ultimately leading to their reconciliation and eventual union. Austen's portrayal of their evolving relationship serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of humility, empathy, and open-mindedness in overcoming obstacles and building meaningful connections.
Another aspect of Pride and Prejudice that resonated with me is Austen's critique of the societal norms and expectations of her time. Through her characters, she exposes the hypocrisy and superficiality of the upper class, highlighting the limitations imposed on women and the pressure to conform to societal standards. Elizabeth, with her independent spirit and refusal to settle for a loveless marriage, challenges these conventions and becomes a symbol of female empowerment. Austen's social commentary serves as a reminder that true happiness can only be attained when one follows their heart and stays true to their own values.
In conclusion, Pride and Prejudice is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate readers with its engaging plot, well-developed characters, and astute social commentary. Jane Austen's wit and insight shine through in every page, reminding us of the power of self-reflection, the dangers of prejudice, and the importance of staying true to oneself. As I closed the book, I was left with a renewed appreciation for the complexities of human nature and a sense of hope that love, understanding, and personal growth can triumph over societal constraints.
傲慢与偏见英语读后感 篇三
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
傲慢与偏见英语读后感 篇四
MISS AUSTEN never attempts to describe a scene or a class of society with which she was not herself thoroughly acquainted. The conversations of ladies with ladies, or of ladies and gentlemen together, are given, but no instance occurs of a scene in which men only are present. The uniform quality of her work is one most remarkable point to be observed in it. Let a volume be opened at any place: there is the same good English, the same refined style, the same simplicity and truth. There is never any deviation into the unnatural or exaggerated; and how worthy of all love and respect is the finely disciplined genius which rejects the forcible but transient modes of stimulating interest which can so easily be employed when desired, and which knows how to trust to the never-failing principles of human nature! This very trust has sometimes been made an objection to Miss Austen, and she has been accused of writing dull stories about ordinary people. But her supposed ordinary people are really not such very ordinary people. Let anyone who is inclined to criticise on this score endeavor to construct one character from among the ordinary people of his own acquaintance that shall be capable of interesting any reader for ten minutes. It will then be found how great has been the discrimination of Miss Austen in the selection of her characters, and how skillful is her treatment in the management of them. It is true that the events are for the most part those of daily life, and the feelings are those connected with the usual joys and griefs of familiar existence; but these are the very events and feelings upon which the happiness or misery of most of us depends; and the field which embraces them, to the exclusion of the wonderful, the sentimental, and the historical, is surely large enough, as it certainly admits of the most profitable cultivation.
In the end, too, the novel of daily real life is that of which we are least apt to weary: a round of fancy balls would tire the most vigorous admirers of variety in costume, and the return to plain clothes would be hailed with greater delight than their occasional relinquishment ever gives. Miss Austen's personages are always in plain clothes, but no two suits are alike: all are worn with their appropriate differen AS we should expect from such a life, Jane Austen's view of the world is genial, kindly, and, we repeat, free from anything like cynicism. It is that of a clear-sighted and somewhat satirical onlooker, loving what deserves love, and amusing herself with the foibles, the self-deceptions, the affectations of humanity. Refined almost to fastidiousness, she is hard upon vulgarity; not, however, on good-natured vulgarity, such as that of Mrs. Jennings in "Sense and Sensibility," but on vulgarity like that of Miss Steele, in the same novel, combined at once with effrontery and with meanness of soul.

傲慢与偏见英语读后感 篇六
I’m forced to read this novel at the beginning， but I can’t wait to finishit subsequently.
"It is a truth universally acknowledges that a single man in possession ofa good fortune must be in want of a wife." This is just as Leo Tolstoy’s famousstarting in 《Anna Karenina》: "All happy families resemble one another， eachunhappy family is unhappy in its own way". To begin with such a design， JaneAusten has her deep meaning. Marriage and money are inseparable. The undertoneis very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion butpossession. The author does not deny this. So she uses typical Bennets to provethis truth.
The story takes place in the class-conscious England of the late 18thcentury. The five Bennet sisters--including strong-willed Elizabeth and youngLydia--have all been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding awealthy husband. So when a wealthy bachelor shows up in their lives， the wholefamily is turned upside-down. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome butsnobbish Mr. Darcy， the battle of the sexes is joined.
As we all know， Austen， in this novel， through the five Bennet daughters’attitude towards love and marriage， shows the relationship between mentalfeelings， such as love， and material possessions ， which also reflects theauthor''s attitude: Marry for the sake of property， money or status is wrong;marry but do not take into account the above factors is foolish. As a result，she not only opposed to marry for the purpose of money， but also opposed totreat marriage as child''s play. She stressed the importance of an idealmarriage. But in modern society， although the marriages of economic needs havedecreased rapidly， the concept of “money determines everything” is still rootedin some people’s mind.
Then let’s e to talk about the meaningful topic of this love story: 《PrideAnd Prejudice》
Pride and prejudice are our mon problems and weaknesses. In fact， everyoneis very easy to be driven by his own subjective impression and thus easy to makeincorrect ments on others， and then led to misunderstand between people. One’sfirst impression can affect a lot of things for sure， but it doesn’t mean itcouldn’t be changed. The deeper you get to understand someone， the moreobjective points you will have on him or her. The changing of Elizabeth’s pointof view towards Darcy just proved this perfectly: no pride， no prejudice， andthese two married just because they love each other， just because they need eachother instead of need each other’s possessions. Austen is smart， becauseElizabeth got beauty and intelligence while Darcy is handsome and rich. I evenwonder if such a perfect marriage could take place in modern society.
