伊丽莎白性格.doc

Elizabeth Bennet The second daughter in the Bennet family, and the most intelligent and quick-witted, Elizabeth is the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice and one of the most well-known female characters in English literature. Her admirable qualities are numerous—she is lovely, clever, and, in a novel defined by dialogue, she converses as brilliantly as anyone. Her honesty, virtue, and lively wit enable her to rise above the nonsense and bad behavior that pervade her class-bound and often spiteful society. Nevertheless, her sharp tongue and tendency to make hasty judgments often lead her astray; Pride and Prejudice is essentially the story of how she (and her true love, Darcy) overcome all obstacles—including their own personal failings—to find romantic happiness. Elizabeth must not only cope with a hopeless mother, a distant father, two badly behaved younger siblings, and several snobbish, antagonizing females, she must also overcome her own mistaken impressions of Darcy, which initially lead her to reject his proposals of marriage. Her charms are sufficient to keep him interested, fortunately, while she navigates familial and social turmoil. As she gradually comes to recognize the nobility of Darcy’s character, she realizes the error of her initial prejudice against him. 性格 伊丽莎白宽松而悠闲的生活环境造就了她聪明活泼、机智幽默、落落大方的性格。她拥有敏锐的观察力和判断力、强烈的自信心、精神上的优越意识和迷人的反 抗性格，她敢作敢为，以自己的行动向专讲体面的礼教挑战；但相比于夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简·爱》，奥斯汀强调的是女性实现自我价值，这种女性意识中少有的非 功利性特征。对于奥斯汀来说，重建健全的女性主体意识远远比争取女性的平等社会地位重要。她并不强调女性一定要取得和男性一样的社会地位，甚至不否定社会 中男性角色和女性角色的区别，她重视的是女性自身的发展，是女性的自我完善，强调女性找回自我。 婚恋观 在伊丽莎白看来，没有爱情就千万不要结婚，她对待爱情和婚姻的态度理智得让人吃惊，她向往的婚姻固然以爱情为前提，但也决不能离开经济需要。虽然她最 初对有着英俊外表和良好口才的威汉姆充满好感，并一度打定主意要俘获他的心，但在舅妈的劝说下，她很快理智地退出，有效地阻止了自己和威汉姆进一步坠入爱 河，原因只有一个：双方都没有什么财产。伊丽莎白总是处于传统父权文化观念中女性被选择的弱势地位，物质爱情双丰收的婚姻不过是提高她地位的一个手段和证 明她才智的一个方法。 1、女主人公伊丽莎白生活的社会环境《傲慢与偏见》所描绘的18世纪末19世纪初的英国女性不论在经济、社会还是家庭地位上都依附于男性，社会等级制度森严，婚姻讲究门当户对。像伊丽莎白这样一个中产阶级出身但又财产微薄的知识女性，要想获得一种体面的生活和地位，唯一的途径就是嫁给一个好男人。正如奥斯丁所写：一个有钱的单身汉，每年有四五千镑的收入真是女儿们的福气 !总之，婚姻是人们寻求经济保障及社会地位的
