傲慢与偏见英文观后感
Pride and Prejudice
As we all know that, nowadays ladies want to marry gentlemen who are ‘high, wealthy and handsome,’ and almost all gentlemen like ‘white, wealthy and beautiful’ women. It seems that appearance and possessions have decided marriage to some extent. However, I do believe that we can learn a lot from Pride and Prejudice.
The first sentence in the movie reads, ‘A truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must in need of a wife." It reflects the social phenomenon at that time. Miss Bennet was eager to marry her five daughters to rich men. However, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennet don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. 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. We can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions.
True love seems very fragile and lovers have to face a lot pressure from their families. The difference in social status can be a big barrier keeping lovers away from each other. Only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual understanding and true love, can a couple
live a happy life. Elizabeth and Darcy tried so hard to persuade their families and shatter the stereotypes. Eventually, they became a couple and lead a happy life from then on.
From their wonderful marriage, we can conclude that it’s true love that matters most. For all the girls, their boyfriends may not be the richest guys in the world, but as long as they really care for us and we love each other, they can marry in the future. Sometimes, beautiful appearance and wealth may blind our eyes, I think it’s high time that we should think over love and make an important choice.
The movie really impresses me a lot. Love is everything, and nothing can prevent true love. In such a society where every is pursuing for a large amount of wealth and good appearance, I think we really need to calm down.
第二篇:傲慢与偏见英文读后感
Reading after Pride and Prejudice
Recently I have been reading a novel called Pride and Prejudice, which was written by Jane Austen. Although I haven’t finished it yet, I still have something to write.
The writer, Jane Austen, was an English woman. She was born in Steventon, Hampshine, where her father was a rector. She was the second daughter and the seventh child in a family of eight. The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire. Austin didn’t go to regular schools, but she read many literary works at her parents’guidance. She started writing about the age of 20, and published six novels. Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Emma (1816) are the best-known books of them. Virginia Woolf called her “the most perfect artist among women”. Most of her novels were all adapted into movies and successful in the world. For living in a small country town, contacting the medium and small landlords, pastor as well as their quiet and comfortable living environment, there were no significant social contradictions in her works. She described a truthful picture of her world, especially the marriage and love between gentlemen and ladies by her meticulous feminine observation. The style of her works is humorous and rich in comic conflicts, so many readers love them. This type of novels not only at that time attracted broad readers, today; it still gives the readers unique art enjoyment. The novel describes love process of heroine Elizabeth and hero Darcy, her elder sister Jane and Mr.Bingley, younger sister Jane and Mr.Bingley, younger sister Lydia and Mr.Wickham, her good friend Charlotte and Mr.Collins. The marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth revealed the characteristics which constituted a successful marriage. One of these characteristics was that the feeling couldn’t be brought on by appearances and must gradually develop between the two people as they got to know one another. The marriage between Jane Bennet and Bingley was also an example of successful marriage. They had the excellent understanding, super-excellent disposition of Jane and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and her husband. Unlike Darcy and Elizabeth, there was a flaw in their relationship. The flaw was that both characters were too gullible and too good-hearted to ever act strongly against external forces that may attempt to separate them. Obviously, Lydia and Wickham’s marriage was an example of a bad marriage. Their marriage was based on appearances, good looks and youthful vivacity. Once these qualities could no longer be seen by each other, the once strong relationship would slowly fade away. Through their relationship, Jane Austen showed that hasty marriage based on superficial qualities quickly cooled and led to unhappiness. The marriage between Mr.Collins and Charlette was based on economics rather than on love or appearance. It was a common practice during Austen’s time for woman to marry a husband to save herself from spinsterhood or to gain financial security. However, Jane Austen viewed this as a type of prostitution and disapproved it. Elizabeth was a clever, beautiful and strong-minded woman, who looked down upon the hypocrisy in high-society circles. Facing the marriage, she was courage, visionary and good at thinking. Although, she had some wrong opinions on Darcy in the beginning, finally she knew about Darcy justly through thinking, hence gained the true love. Darcy was a handsome, rich gentleman, but proud and didn’t want to make contact with others, leading to dissatisfactions from neighbors. Even worse, Darcy left bad impressions on the people around him and Elizabeth also hated him. She had prejudice against Darcy gradually. When Darcy proposed to her, she refused him decisively. After that, Darcy began to reflect on the self-examination and treated people with more populist. As time went by, they came across again. Darcy was not only polite, but was popular among the neighbors. Finally, regardless of his aunt’s strong objection and concept of family, Darcy proposed to Elizabeth again. Elizabeth willingly consented. She began to appear her lively side to Darcy. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs.Bennet was a woman who was eager to marry off her daughters. Mr.Bingley was a friendly young man. Jane was simple, innocent and never spoke evil of others. Elizabeth was a clever girl who always had her own opinions. Mary liked reading classic books. Kitty didn’t have her own opinions but liked to follow her sister. Lydia was a girl who followed exotic things, handsome man and was somehow a little profligate. As far as I am concerned, love is the most beautiful and valuable thing and the basis of marriage. Although material is important, we shouldn’t give up seeking for the true love. By contrasting Elizabeth with Lydia, we know the true love is essential. Then, I think the behavior is the symbol of people. If Darcy was polite and warm-hearted in the beginning, maybe he would not have been misunderstood by Elizabeth. Therefore, never be arrogant. It is true that the first impression is important, but we should also recognize someone in long time and from all aspects. That requires we are strong-minded, reasoned and sensible. Be tolerant to anyone, and you will be more likely gain happiness. Last but not least, this novel has an effect on today’s Chinese society, which is full of bullionism and hedonism. Many youngers have the question, especially girls, “Rose and bread, which is more important”. Once in a famous dating show called If you are the one, a girl said “Would rather sit in the BMW car crying, don’t sit on the bike laughing”, which means she would live together with a rich man rather than a poor man. Most girls think that houses, cars and property are more important than appearances and characters. I don’t agree with it. As new century’s girls, who are expected to be independent, self-reliance, self-love, we could earn money through our own effects instead of putting the hope on others. Only in this way can we have the security sense and be more attractive to lovers. The lover is one of the most intimate persons and the family is a part of our lives, therefore, let’s seek for the true love and create a promising future.
第三篇:英文傲慢与偏见读后感
凡是有财产的单身汉,必定需要娶位太太,这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。”以这样一句话作为本书的开头,让人不由想到这会是一部清喜剧,来讲一个皆大欢喜的爱情故事。可是如若只为了消遣而读,那么这部《傲慢与偏见》就不会有如此长久的生命力。往往,伟大出自于平凡,奥斯丁就是将她的哲理通过爱情这一人人司空见惯的事物来表达的。
《傲慢与偏见》是英国著名女作家简·奥斯丁的代表作,这部作品以日常生活为素材,一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,作品描写傲慢的单身青年达西与偏见的二小姐伊丽莎白、富裕的单身贵族宾格莱与贤淑的大小姐吉英之间的感情纠葛。
这本书中似乎只有两种人:聪明的和愚蠢的,没有绝对的好坏之分,文中的所谓「傲慢」就是指出身富贵、教养颇高、眼光锐利的青年达西的个性弱点;而所谓「偏见」是指出身中产阶级、教养颇好、机智聪明的小姐-伊丽莎白的精神弱点。一个眼光锐利,一个机智聪明,都属人中杰,但却都难免人性的弱点的纠缠。他们在一次的家庭舞会上初次见面,却因对彼此的印象不佳,一个态度傲慢,另一个心怀偏见。第一个印象先入为主,以后又加上女人们在旁闲言碎语,而造成了两人之间的爱恨情仇。伊丽莎白曾对达西说过:“我们的性情非常相似,我们都不爱交际,沉默寡言,不愿开口,除非我们会说出话来语惊四座,像格言一样具有光彩,流传千古.”就是因为这思想上的一致,才在婚姻中百般受到阻碍,同时也是因为这才最后促成美满的婚姻. 作为故事中的女主人公,伊丽莎白聪敏机智,有胆识,有远见,有很强的自尊心,并善于思考问题。就当时一个待嫁闺中的小姐来讲,这是难能可贵的。而我第一次被伊丽莎白的个性打动,就是在她拒绝达西先生告白时。虽然有误会造成的偏见,但她理直气壮地指责初见不欢的告白对象的样子着实可爱。让人不禁感叹,她哪来的这么大的勇气和自信?怎么会这么坚定的不为所动?对达西先生的误解是一方面,另一方面,小说在最后给出了解答。当本内特先生听闻自己最心爱的女儿心有所属时,对伊丽莎白的那句“我担心世上没有人能配得上你”。由此看来,伊丽莎白的自信应该是来源于父亲的教育。这种自信让她在任何事物面前都不失去自我,哪怕是教条,哪怕是别人的目光,哪怕是金钱和地位,哪怕是爱情。
爱情中的人应该坦诚相待。当达西向伊丽莎白求婚而遭到拒绝时,他说了一句话:“要是我耍一点手段,把我内心的矛盾掩饰起来,一味地恭维你,使你相信我无论在理智方面、思想方面以及其他各方面,都是对你怀着无条件的纯洁的爱,那么也许你就不会有这些苛刻的责骂了。可惜无论是什么样的伪装,我都痛恨。”达西沒有为了讨好伊丽莎白,而改变他的傲慢性情。伊丽莎白也表现了很真实的自己,彼此都不刻意去营造给人的印象,表现出了最真实的一面。而开始的时候,伊丽莎白一直活在自己的偏见之下,而忽略思考事实的真相,经过达西的解释和自己的判断,才最终找到幸福的归宿。
《傲慢与偏见》,是我们很常见的弱点和毛病。每一个人其实都很容易被自己的主观印象所驱使,因而容易对别的人下不正确的注解,进而造成了彼此之间的误会。一个人所给予的第一印象固然可以影响到很多事,但并非一定不会改变,要有更加深入的了解,才能有更客观一点的论点,就好像故事中女主角对达西的看法,就是因为了解才有所改变. 阅读的魅力在于能在别人的故事中看到自己的内心,不断反思与成长,伊丽莎白与达西的结合告诉我们,获得人类一切美好感情的前提是消除傲慢与偏见以及更多的负面人生观。当然还有更多作者欲说还休的情怀需要随着时间的流逝而去参悟
第四篇:《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感
The abbreviation of the novel.
This is a story happening in a Bennet. Mr.Bennet, a countryside gentleman in England, had no sons but five girls. According to the law, the girls in Bennet’s could not inherit their father’s fortune but could only get 5,000 pounds as dowry and the possession was to be inherited by Mr.Bennet’s nephew, Collins,square-toes and good at flattering flattery. So, how to help them marry a rich gentleman was the top agenda to Mrs.Bennet. And when Collins wanted to propose one of the girls in Bennet’ and he chose Elizabeth,for the eldest but most beautiful girl, Jane, was not available.Elizabeth refused him and he proposed her close friend, Charlotte . Although Charlotte did not like Collins, she married him for she was already 27. As for Jane,she met a handsome young man with a plenty of money named Mr.Bingley. They felt in love at first sight at a ball. Mr.Bingley showed great passion on Jane, while Jane did not though she did love him. Mr.Darcy, a very good friend of Mr.Bingley, was also a wealthy and attracted young man. At that ball,at first Mr.Darcy was very pride and prejudice to Elizabeth,but after dancing with her ,he felt in love with her. But Elizabeth did not like him because of his air.And Elizabeth treated Mr.Darcy worse because he persuaded Mr.Bingley to give up her sister, Jane. So at the first time when Mr.Darcy proposed, she refused. Lydia, Elizabeth another sister, was too young and innocent to tell a delusion and ran away with a young and handsome military officer,
Wickham, who actually was a gambling addicts and had a numerous debt. When Mr.Darcy paid Wickham a lot of money to get Lydia a complete marriage, and managed to make Jane and Mr.Bingley get together, Elizabeth did not misunderstand him anymore and accepted his second proposal.
Appreciation
‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.’ The first sentence in the novel and sets the ground and tone for the novel. During that time some people were timeservers and flatters ,hypocritical and stupid, like Mr.s Bennet, while some were smart and independent, like Elizabeth.And this conflict makes the whole story full of humorousness and irony, and the readers think more beyond the lines, making the author outstanding at her age. Apart from that, Jane Austin’s concept of marriage, which we can refer from the lines, is totally different from the convention and has been attracted by the readers over the years. I think, there are two points in her new concept. The first one is that a marriage does need a monetary foundation but more importantly should be built on true love and self esteem. At that time a woman was supposed to marry a rich man although she did not like that man. So that’s why Mrs.Bennet asked Elizabeth to marry Collins. But Elizabeth refused for she did not like him.However, her friend Charlotte chose to married him because
Charlotte was too old to care about too much although Charlotte was also an acknowledged lady and could not regardless the convention. Therefore,in the author’s eyes, their marriage would not last for long because it was not built on love. So, the marriage, like Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy’s, should be encouraged, and we should be negative about marriage, only built on money, like Collins and Charlotte’s, Lydia and Wickham’s. The second is that women and men should be equal. From Elizabeth turning down Collins and Mr.Darcy,we can see that, in author’s mind, a marriage should not be decided by the man but both ,and women are not the accessories of men’s but should be independent, having their own feelings, voice and decisions. And this can reflect some ideas about Jane Austin’s feminism, which also has made her distinguish for years. I think this is also suitable for today. Women,having more power than ever, should be more independent not only in marriage but also in the society.
第五篇: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.
