Ⅰ

:

Jane

Austen

(16

December

1775

–

18

July

1817),

one

of

the

most

famous

novelists in Britain, was born in Hampshire. She lived in the villages throughout

her life. Although there were 2 suitors, she never married. She finished her first

novel

when

she

was only

21

years old.

This

work

’

s

name

was

First

Impressions

(After amending, it had a new name:

Pride and Prejudice

).

Ⅱ

:

Pride and Prejudice

is a humorous story of love and marriage.

Mr. Bennet was an

English

gentleman

living

in

Hertfordshire

with

his

wife.

He

had

five

daughters:

the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and

the

wild

Lydia.

Because

of

the

law,

after

the

death

of

Mr.

Bennet,

their

house

would be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met. This family's

future happiness and security dependent on the 5

daughters’ marriages.

One day,

a rich gentleman Mr. Bingley came and rented a large house in this country. His

sisters and his best friend Mr. Darcy came together. Love was soon in the air for

one of the 5 sisters, while another had a prejudice against Mr. Darcy.

Then

they

experienced

many

things,

but at

last,

Mr.

Bingley

married

the

oldest

sister Jane, and Elizabeth overcame the prejudice and married to Mr.

Darcy. It’s a

happy ending.

Ⅲ：

Although Mr. Song said the book report should be objective

，

but I had to say this

book touched my heart deeply.

The women written by Jane Austen still live in our world.

Some

like

Charlotte

Lucas,

they

choose

a

marriage

without

love

just

for

money

and a stable life.

Some

like

Lydia,

they

are

so

frivolous

and

foolish

that

they

flatter

themselves

that they can do anything well.

Some

like

Mary,

they

are

not

good-looking

but

think

themselves

are

the

best

ones.

They

look down

every

man

while

they

are

eager

for

a

man’s

love

in

their

hearts.

Some

like

Jane,

they

are

kind

and

beautiful,

but

they

are

also

reserved

and

feminine

。

They don’t have courage to

fight for the love of their own but wait here

in vain.

And

there

are

also

some

girls

like

innocent

Ms

Darcy

or

like

vainglorious

and

superficially clever Bingley sisters.

Of

course,

some

girls

like

Elizabeth,

they

are

clever,

gentle,

open-minded,

and

they know their own hearts.

They never give in even facing a difficult situation.
