《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感
Impressions of pride and prejudice
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. The author 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.

第三篇:傲慢与偏见英文读后感
My first reaction to this book is that it is based on much more on social hierarchy than I have imagined it to be.
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”. It also hides such mattes: a single woman must be in want of a husband, especially a wealthy one. I think the undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession. So there is no difficulty to explain why Mr.Bennet eagerly wants to marry off her daughters to wealthy husbands. At that time in Britain, 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. There is a strong class-consciousness in society at that time.
This class-consciousness also appears in Darcy’s proposal of marriage to Elizabeth. “He spoke well, but there were feelings besides those of the heart to be detailed, and he was not more eloquent on the subject of tenderness than of pride. His sense of her inferiority -of its being a degradation-of the family obstacles which judgment had always opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to the consequence he was wounding, but was very unlikely to recommend his suit.” As the above quote makes clear, he spends more time emphasizing her lower rank and unsuitability for marriage to him than he does complimenting her or pledging his love.
Darcy’s arrogance and the sense of the superiority prefigure the failure of the
proposal.
But, at the end of the story, Darcy and Bingley conquer the prejudice of social
hierarchy and find the true love.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. But I can’t help asking: if the rich
marry the rich, the poor marry the poor, how can the society improve?
第四篇:Pride and Prejudice傲慢与偏见英文观后感
Pride and Prejudice
After reading <>, I really have lots to complain about. I truly don’t like the people in this novel. But why? I don’t know. Maybe I just don’t understand the realistic society and life and people’s ideas at that time in England, or maybe I am just such a person that always has a prejudice against everybody.
The main roles I want to talk about in this novel, of course, are Darcy and Elizabeth.
First, I want to say something about Elizabeth. After hearing Darcy’s bad comment on her, she said the words “I will never dance with him” so easily and so unwisely. Here we can know she is arrogant and she can’t stand Darcy’s contempt. But we also can see that she said the words too easily and too absolutely without thinking. What a fool! Who can predict what’s going to happen next moment? None! Long after this matter, we all know that she did dance with Darcy. At that time she may already forget the words that she had said before. But I will never forget her arbitrariness That Elizabeth believed Wickham’s words makes me more dislike her. It’s a common sense that one couldn’t be a real good guy, if he can say hurtful things about someone else naturally and directly. But Elizabeth believed. Now that she hated Darcy or you can say she had a prejudice toward Darcy from the very start, she can totally ignore him. However she cared about it very much. Maybe she started to love Darcy the minute she began to have a prejudice towards him. But who knows, and even she herself did not know.
Another scene that Darcy showed his love to Elizabeth makes me totally dislike her, especially the words she said that “you are the last man in the world I could ever marry”. She said such irresponsible and hurtful things without any consideration. Actually, she misunderstood everything. I just want to say she is a sad and hateful person. What’s worse, she’s also a gutless person. Finally, she knew Wickham cheated her and Darcy was innocent and Darcy was a perfect gentleman. She found that she had already fallen in love with Darcy deeply. However, she did nothing but wept and regretted. She even didn’t have the courage to express her love to Darcy. As a modern girl, if I was her, I would fly to Darcy to admit my misunderstanding and express my true feelings to him in no time. Happiness is gained by one’s own efforts. If you don’t pursue the happiness, it’s almost impossible to enjoy it. Now what could I say about Elizabeth? I don’t think she would have a happy ending if there is no Darcy. Next, let me talk about Darcy. In the beginning, I like this gentleman. I admire him. When he said that “she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me, and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men”, I admire him very much. He was an arrogant man. And also he had the enough capital to be arrogant. Yes, he was handsome and wealthy. And then some time later, he asked Elizabeth to marry him, for he fell in love with her. Unfortunately, he was severely rejected by Elizabeth at once, but I still like him. He was a lovely man, right? At least, I think so. However, at the very last he showed his love to Elizabeth once again, regardless of the hurtful words that Elizabeth said before. It makes me disappointment. Where’s his pride? I love his pride all the time, but now it disappeared. If I was Darcy, after hearing Elizabeth’s hurtful word, I would never meet her again and I would even forget her name at once. And eventually he was a poor man that had lost his pride. These are all my opinions about Elizabeth and Darcy. By the way, I really can’t understand why the girls were so crazy about officers and how come Darcy’s love to Elizabeth developed so suddenly. <> is a classic novel that reflect the social reality, so no one in this novel is perfect. The perfect person does not exist in the world. And it gives me the opportunity to nit-pick. As a whole, they were all kind people in the real society.

第五篇:《傲慢与偏见》读后感英文版
Lady Catherine, a poor mother “Pride and Prejudice” is a movie about love. Well, Lady Catherine impressed me very much in this play. As a mother, she is admiring.
She has much money and connections. For the sake of that, she looks down upon everything, especially the poor. Therefore, she is extremely disgusted with Elizabeth’s arrival. In fact, she has nothing that deserve us to like her. However, when talking about her daughter, she is always kind and merciful. She loves her daughter as most mothers do. Maybe why she asks Elizabeth to play the piano is just because of the regret to Anne. Moreover, she is proud of her daughter. She thinks that Anne is perfect expect healthy. Then when heard of Elizabeth and Darcy have met each other, she has a glimpse at Elizabeth with a meaningful eye contact. Undoubtly, she has been conscious of the affection between Elizabeth and Darcy. So she shouted insults at Elizabeth as she can. This is the nature of a mother. They always want to tidy all the obstacles out for their child. She knows that Darcy is a perfect choice for Anne’s husband. She has almost been sure of Darcy being her son- in- law without Elizabeth’s appearance. In this case, we can understand why she resents Elizabeth so much.
Months later, lady Catherine hears about the story of Elizabeth and Darcy. To ensure that, she go to the town regardless of the storm and heavy rain. The plot is unforgettable for me. Lady Catherine looks dirty and untidy. She looks like an another woman compared with the former image, just a mother struggling for baby’s happiness. Well , the Catherine in this screen is so touching. Of course, she ends up with a failing ending. Lady Catherine is so overbearing at first, who loses her own dignity just for daughter’s happiness ultimately. Well, at last what I want to say is that, although Lady Catherine is not accepted by most of us, in my eyes, she is a both poor and great mother as well.
