Pride and Prejudice by Wu Qianqian (ES02163)



Pride and Prejudice



In the class have learned the “Sense and Sensibility”, I think Jane Austen’s most famous novel is not it, I think “Pride and Prejudice” is her most famous novel. I do like this novel very much. This article was described in the 19th century British, and small beautiful village happened throughout the story line that was Elizabeth and Darcy’s love story, and it has a happy ending. ”Sense and Sensibility“ also has a good ending. I think maybe that is one of the reason why many people like Jane Austen’s novel.
Pride represent Darcy, prejudice represent Elizabeth. From the novel I find at the first sight, Mr Darcy fall in love with Elizabeth, but Elizabeth doesn’t know it, and at the beginning Mr Darcy because of his pride, he doesn’t tell Elizabeth, but when he sees Mr Wickham talk with Elizabeth, he can’t control his feeling to Elizabeth. Then he tell Elizabeth he love her, but she refused him. But Mr Darcy still love Elizabeth, finally through his strive, he make Elizabeth fall in love with him.
Darcy and Elizabeth reveals the characteristic that the feeling cannot be brought on by appearances, and must gradually develop between the two people as they get to know one another. Actually I do not like Jane, Elizabeth’s sister, I think she with Mr Bingley’s love contain too much other things, at first Mr Bingley like Jane is because of her good appearance, also Jane like Bingley is because of his handsome face and wealth at first, I don’t mean they don’t have true love, absolutely they finally love each other, I just think their love don’t like Darcy and Elizabeth---pure love.
Although it’s a love story, but I think there has some principle also can use in other relationship, don’t judge a person easily when you do not know him, and don’t judge a person through his appearance.
