Book Review--Pride and Prejudice
Rational or Emotional
Doris Guo 38
Would you like to travel back to the 18th century? Not to visit the busiest Chinese emperor YongZheng but to discover the fantastic story of Elizabeth Bennet--a beautiful girl who has been through a both romantic and rational love story.This is what you will experience if you read Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen,one of the most famous British female writers.Jane put her own story into the novel, so the emotions of the characters seem more realistic.Unfortunately,the happy ending of the novel was not from Jane’s real life.She has never married and died at her forties.However, the content of the novel is the story of how Elizabeth and Darcy arrive at nuptial happine by an improbable and circuitous route.Mr.Darcy is a haughtynobleman who is very rich and handsome.The story Austen has written is that of Darcy’s wooing and winning of Elizabeth.To win the love of such a woman is not easy but Darcy believes it to be well worthwhile-she will love him.Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but actually, this book is an illustration of the society at that time.It tells us what a key role money plays in the marriage market and how marriage becomes an economic rather than social activity.In addition, much of the pride and prejudice in the novel exists because of cla divisions.Above all, the novel has a great influence on our vision of love and life.Teenagers today usually have puppy love at a very young age and many of them are always confused at it.By reading this novel, we can have a more thorough understanding of love.What actually affects us tends to be sense and sensibility.Are we going to be more rational or emotional? Try to read this book or you can go and watch the movie.Then you’ll have your own answer of this question.Quotes from Pride and Prejudice
Darcy's first impreions on Elizabeth are colored by his snobbery.He cannotacknowledge his love for her even in his own heart because of his pride.His first proposal clearly reflects this attitude: “In vain have I struggled.It will not do.My feelings will not be repreed.You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”
And this is how Elizabeth turned him
down:”And those are the words of a gentleman.From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.”
