First, the image of Elizabeth Bennet is

、
Social
environment ,where the heroine , Elizabeth is
living.
that
time
British
women,
whether
in
economic,
social
or
family
status
are
dependent on men,
with strict
social
hierarchy and people
are faced with
marital stress for good
match. Elizabeth, who is a young middle-class
woman
with tiny property, but she is
knowageable in that time . The only way to get a
happy
life and decent status
is to
marry a good
man. As
Austen wrote:
sigle man in possession
of a good fortune must be in want of a wife
.
’’
In short,
marriage is good approach
for people to
search
for economic security and
social status. Collins, Elizabeth's
cousin, knows that sentence very well,he is
well-off
but
vulgar,he
thinks
it
is
beneficial
for
Elizabeth
to
marry

rejected
by
Elizabeth,Collins
turns
back
to
propose
to

Description of
Elizabeth
’
personality and
their family environment
The center and the focus of
Elizabeth ? Bennett.
Elizabeth
is
an
intelligent,
honest,
attractive,witty,
funny
and
lively
and
educated
young
lady,but with a tendency to judge on
first impressions and
perhaps to be a
little
selective of
the evidence
upon which she bases
her
judgements.
.
Also,she
is
a
rebellious
and
independent
person,
maybe
we
should
say she is the
new women.
Her
family environment is
not good,
no
abundant money,
and no officials in her home . Compared with
Kosslyn, and
Darcy
,her
family
is
very
poor .But
she
does
not
feel
inferior,
still
bravely
pursues
her
own
happiness
and
true
love.
Darcy
oppses
the
marriage
between Benley and
the older sister of Elizabeth ,Jane ,because of
the poor
situation in her family. Darcy
looked down on
Elizabeth at
first, also because
of
her
poor
position
and
weak
home
background.
When
Mrs
Depaul
accused Elizabeth that she should
not marry
Darcy,they do
not
match, and
Elizabeth was proud to retorted:
a gentleman. In this regard, we are in
good match.
and wealth can be equated,
because the grade of
levels is
in accordance
with the division of property; If a
person owns a large property, he would be
respected, and enjoy high social status
.

、
The rough road
of
Elizabeth's marriage
She refused to marry
Collins at first, and later she decline the
propose of
Darcy. She refused to marry
him,which fully reflect the concept of her
marriage,also including Austen herself
: love first! love is foremost! Reverend
Mr. Collins is
Mr. Bennet
’
s
(Elizabeth's father) capable nephew,and he is
also the heir of
Mr. Bennett. However,he is a vain,
humble, stupid man, and
he is good at
currying favor with the powerful got the
appreciation of Mrs Catherine De
Bauer
,
and he also
fortunately got a lucrative
job as a
priest in one
parish, which
makes him
become more and
more
arrogant, apretentious. He thinks
it is too easy to get marry with the daughter
of Bennet ,because he takes posission
of
high social status and
great
took a fancy to the second
daughter, Elizabeth Bennet, Although
he
realizes the touchings things in Elizabeth,there
is a weakness that can not
compare with
him,she does not have too much money and high
status .
Therefore,after analyzing of
their strengths and weakness of each other,
Collins strongly believes
his proposal will certainly be
successful, and there
will not be
another person who wants to marry her. But out of
his
expectation,Elizabeth firmly
rejected his proposal, and clearly told him,
can not make me happy, I believe I am
the only woman who is unable to make
you happy.
status can not
make Elizabeth falls in love with anyone ,because
the most
important thing in her eyes is
true love!The solid condition and basis of
marriage is love,and it is reflected
thoroughly in the marriage between Darcy
and her.
Her love
begins when she meets an officer in self-defense
group whose
name is eth is fascinated
immediately by his nice and gentle
appearance.
And
Wickham
gets
crash
on
her
,he
is
gossip,he
often
says
something bad of Darcy to get the love
of said:
people in Netherfield hate
him very much!Except outside people, I go to any
nearby people,they might say Darcy is a
arrogant man. It is impossible for you
to hear a good word about
him.
”
These words was full
of flaws, but the witty
Elizabeth doesn
not
find it is
wrong
to say so .And her
nose is
completely
blinded by love. When she
broke up with Wickham, her mind was full of that
arrogant
man,Wickham.
In
one
word
,
witty
Elizabeth
is
now
mocked
as
listening to John's
slanderous words ,and she heared it was Darcy who
make
the couple,
her sister
Jane an Bingley she thought it
was
the
prejudices
that
Darcy
pressed
on
her
family
status,and
Darcy
wanted
to
match
his
sister
and
Bingley
thought
he
was
so
selfish
and
impolite.
She
deeply
criticized
Darcy
who
ruined
her
sister’
s
happy
life,
deprived of the right of Wickham to get
a happy life. Darcy's Pride based on
his indomitable character,it is because
he verbally hurt Elizabeththat caused
her prejudice; also due
to
Elizabeth's self-love has generated
her
prejudice
against
Darcy,so
Pride
and
Prejudice
have
reached
the
peak.
The
letter
Darcy
wrote to Elizabeth greatly chaged her mind,brought
a brainstorm to her
mind.
Darcy
admitted
in
the
letter
the
reason
he
made
Jane
and
Bingley
break
up
is
that
he
thoutht
it
did
not
exist
true
love
between
them;and
Wickham's
actions
was
very
contemptible,
and
even
he
wanted
to
induce
Darcy's
sister to elope with him. This letter is like a
heavy bomb
in Elizabeth’
s
heart ,blew
up
all the previous
obstacles and ill
feelings in
her mind .Then
Elezabeth
seriously
and
calmly
looked
at
herself
again,
realizing
that
was too blind, eccentric,
with too much
human bias in the past
and it was
perverse.
It
is
Darcy
and
Wickham
’
s
different
attitudes
towards
her
that
contributed
to
her
own
prejudice
and
ignorance.
The
tissue
was
finally
deceived by
her
new self and new mind .
The correct
understanding of
the
new self-help Elizabeth go out of
the errors, eliminate
the prejudice
against
Darcy, and Darcy was shocked by
the condemnation of Elizabeth,and Darcy
formed a
new
understanding of the behaviour in is
so
different
that
when
Darcy
appeared
in
front
of
Elizabeth
to
make
a
proposal
to
her.
Elizabeth
saw a
new Darcy a different Darcy,who
was
very submissive ,so
warm
love was added on hime except for respect on
pride became
into modest,prejudice
became into elopement of Elizabeth's sister
Lydia and Weiyue Han had subsided
because of Darcy
’
help, but
the two are
emotionally closer and
closer, the sweet tea permeates thick love. The
visit of
stupid arrogant Lady Catherine
not only failed to stop the trend of
Elizabeth
and
Darcy
to
get
married,but
as
a
catalyst
for
love
,that
inspired
Darcy
to
make
proposas to Elizabeth for the second time
.Characters in common and
the
mutual appreciation of
each other push
them into the rational
marriage,
eventually, Pride
and Prejudice changed into a deep sweetness.

、
Elizabeth's concept for
marriage and realistic significance
Due to the deviation of
self-awareness,there comes out emotional turmoil
between
Elizabeth and Darcy. Elizabeth has the
mind of prejudice because
of the wrong
awareness to Darcy. It is the understanding of
justice that helps
Elizabeth to get the
real happiness. Both rational choice and strong
emotional
