　　《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感【一】

　　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.liuxue86.com

　　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》英文读后感【二】

　　I’m forced to read this novel at the beginning, but I can’t wait to finish it subsequently.

　　"It is a truth universally acknowledges that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." This is just as Leo Tolstoy’s famous starting in 《Anna Karenina》: "All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way". To begin with such a design, Jane Austen has her deep meaning. Marriage and money are inseparable. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession. The author does not deny this. So she uses typical Bennets to prove this truth.

　　The story takes place in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. The five Bennet sisters--including strong-willed Elizabeth and young Lydia--have all been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a wealthy husband. So when a wealthy bachelor shows up in their lives, the whole family is turned upside-down. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome but snobbish 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 mental feelings, such as love, and material possessions , which also reflects the author''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 to treat marriage as child''s play. She stressed the importance of an ideal marriage. But 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.

　　Then let’s come to talk about the meaningful topic of this love story: 《Pride And Prejudice》

　　Pride and prejudice are our common problems and weaknesses. In fact, everyone is very easy to be driven by his own subjective impression and thus easy to make incorrect comments on others, and then led to misunderstand between people. One’s first impression can affect a lot of things for sure, but it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be changed. The deeper you get to understand someone, the more objective points you will have on him or her. The changing of Elizabeth’s point of view towards Darcy just proved this perfectly: no pride, no prejudice, and these two married just because they love each other, just because they need each other instead of need each other’s possessions. Austen is smart, because Elizabeth got beauty and intelligence while Darcy is handsome and rich. I even wonder if such a perfect marriage could take place in modern society.
