Elizabeth 伊丽莎白人物 英文赏析

Elizabeth: An extraordinary female

Elizabeth, the main character in Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen, is

considered to

be a new woman who breaks

the tradition.

Much of the story

is

seen

through

her

intelligence

that

also

reflects

the

folly

of

others.

Many

of

her

personal

traits and behaviors are attractive to us. Especially when it comes to her marriage, we

can know that love is the most important thing for Elizabeth instead of property and

status. That view and quality is what we need to possess in modern society. Although

Elizabeth

has

some

obvious

shortcomings,

we

cannot

deny

that

she

is

an

extraordinary woman.

Next I will talk about Elizabeth from four aspects according my feelings of the

book.

Firstly, Elizabeth is clever and sensitive at observing surroundings. For example,

when

there

was

a

dancing

party

in

the

Netherfield

Park,

we

can

read

about

some

inappropriate

words

and

deeds

of

Mrs

Bennet’s

and

her

little

daughters’

through

Elizabeth’s

eyes.

At

the

same

time,

Elizabeth

also

fond

Mr

Darcy’s

arrogance

and

impatience while Mr Bingley were so enthusiastic to her sister Jane. Just from a small

party, she can grasp so much information

and judge out others’ personalities.

Certainly,

she couldn’t make every correct judgment,

but she was at least different from other

common people. Even Mr Bennet thought that Elizabeth was the cleverest daughter

than others. According to his point of view, only excellent man can get together with

his

daughter.

If

compared

to

her

sister

Jane,

Elizabeth

is

obviously

cleverer.

In

the

book, Mr Bingley’s

sisters were always dishonest and even separate Bingley and Jane.

Readers can find out this fact early through some small details. So was Elizabeth. But

Jane

was

so

kind

and

stupid

that

she

didn’t

accept

the

truth.

I

always

believe

that

being

good

at

observing

and

thinking

can

find

something

unexpected

just

like

Elizabeth.

Secondly, Elizabeth loved her families and cared them

very much. That’s largely

moved me. In the 18

th

or 19

th

century, the main attention of the society was paid to

property

and

status.

In

Pride

and

Prejudice,

we

can

fortunately

find

some

true

love

between families, especially Elizabeth. When Mrs

Bennet couldn’t wait to send Jane

to

Netherfield

Park,

which

made

Jane

got

ill,

Elizabeth

were

not

afraid

of

3

miles

walking to look after Jane. She

even didn’t care about others’

astonished eyes and her

own

awkward

appearance.

Her

coming

made

everyone

surprised

and

unbelievable

because they seldom fond

such a different female like Elizabeth around their living

environment. It was Elizabeth’s

care to her sister that made Darcy find out her beauty.

In addition to that, in dealing with Lydia

’s marriage,

she also tried her best to support

her

sister

by

sending

her

private

savings.

At

that

time, the

quality

was

precious.

In

modern city, not only the west but also China increasingly felt the weak affection. The

altruistic love Elizabeth showed is enough to make readers moved. “Love is priceless”

is reflected incisively and vividly by Elizabeth.

Thirdly, Elizabeth had independent mind and broke traditional concept. Living in

that society, women didn’t have any rights to be educated. Some ladies occasionally

can have the opportunity to study, but they just read a little modern Chinese in order
