介绍:
Jane Austen's novels are exciting adventure stories, in which you are never quite sure if the hero or heroine will survive. The characters in Austen's novels are either very bad or very good, and the main characters are always very good-looking. What makes these stories so enjoyable is the author's humor.
Jane Austen's novels focus on a small group of families and friends. The heroine is a young woman and the theme is romance and the heroine's eventual marriage. Austin studies her characters, their motives(why they do what they do), and their attitude to money. Her stories are famous for their clever, gentle humor and brilliant style.
Pride and Prejudice tells the story of five young women, all of whom are looking for a husband.
The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she eventually marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he has insulted both her and her family, she dislikes him intensely. Poor Darcy then falls head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after.
Jane Austin is rightly famous for her style. Her sentences have a wonderful rhythm, and she makes such clever,true comments about people. Pride and Prejudice is a very wise book, told in a very amusing way. No wonder it has lasted!
