realism,biting(adj.辛辣的辛辣的)social commentary and masterful(adj.熟练的熟练的)use of free indirect speech,burlesque(adj.滑稽的滑稽的)and irony have earned her a place as one of the most widely read and most beloved

protagonist(n.主角主角)of Pride and Prejudice and one of the most well-known female characters in English literature.Her admirable qualities are numerousShe is lovely,clevershe converses(vi.谈话谈话)as brilliantly as anyone.Her honesty,virtue,and lively wit enable her to rise above the nonsense and bad behavior that pervade(vt.遍及遍及;弥漫弥漫)her class-bound and often spiteful(adj.恶意的恶意的)society.Nevertheless,her sharp tongue and tendency to make hasty judgments often lead her astray(adj.误误入歧途的入歧途的).Mr.DarcyDarcy is Elizabeths male counterpart.Intelligent and forthright(adj.直率直率的的),he too has a tendency to judge too hastily and harshly,and his high birth and wealth make him overly proud and overly conscious of his social status.Indeed,his haughtiness(n.傲慢傲慢)makes him initially bungle(v.把把搞搞糟糟)his courtship(n.求爱求爱).When he proposes to her,for instance,he dwell(vi.细想细想)more on how unsuitable a match she is than on her charms,beauty,or anything else complimentary.Her rejection of his advances builds a kind of humility(n.谦卑谦卑)in him.Darcy demonstrates his continued devotion(n.忠诚，热爱忠诚，热爱)to Elizabeth,in spite of his distaste(vt.厌恶厌恶)for her low connections,when he rescues Lydia and the entire Bennet family from disgrace(n.耻辱耻辱),and when he goes against the wishes of his haughty(adj.傲慢的傲慢的)aunt,Lady Catherine,by continuing to pursue Elizabeth.Darcy proves Darcy proves himself worthy of himself worthy of Elizabeth,and she ends Elizabeth,and she ends up up repentrepenting her earlier,ing her earlier,overly harsh judgment overly harsh judgment of him.of him.Mr.bennetMr.Bennet is the patriarch(n.家长家长;族长族长)of the Bennet household.He is a man driven to exasperation(n.恼怒恼怒)by his ridiculous wife and difficult daughters.He reacts by withdrawing(离离开开;变得冷漠变得冷漠)from his family and assuming a detached(adj.分开的分开的;超然超然的的)attitude punctuated(vt.不时打断不时打断)by bursts of sarcastic(adj.尖酸的尖酸的)humor.He is closest to Elizabeth because they are the two most intelligent Bennets.Initially(adv.最初最初)，his dry wit(n.智慧智慧)and self-possession in the face of his wifes hysteria(n.歇歇斯底里斯底里)make him a sympathetic figure,In particular,his foolish indulgence(n.放放纵纵)of Lydias immature behavior nearly leads to general disgrace(n.耻辱耻辱)when she elopes(vi.私奔私奔)with Wickham.Further,upon her disappearance,he proves largely ineffective.It is left to Mr.Gardiner and Darcy to track Lydia down and rectify(vt.改正改正)the situation.Ultimately,Mr.Bennet would rather withdraw from the world than cope with it.But,Mrs.BennetMrs.Bennet is a miraculously（adv.非凡地）非凡地）tiresome character.Noisy and foolish,she is a woman consumed by the desire to see her daughters married and seems to care for nothing else in the world.Ironically(adv.讽刺地讽刺地),her single-minded pursuit of this goal tends to backfire(n.事与愿违事与愿违),as her lack of social graces alienates(vt.使疏远使疏远)the very people(Darcy and Bingley)whom she tries desperately to attract.Austen uses her continually to highlight the necessity of marriage for young women.Mrs.Bennet also serves as a middle-class counterpoint(n.对应物对应物)to such upper-class snobs(n.势利小人势利小人)as Lady Catherine and Miss Bingley,demonstrating that foolishness can be found at every level of societyIn the end,however,Mrs.Bennet proves such an unattractive figure,lacking redeeming(adj.弥补的弥补的)characteristics of any kind,that some readers have accused Austen of unfairness in portraying(vt.描绘描绘)heras if Austen,like Mr.Bennet,took perverse(adj.不正不正当的当的)pleasure in poking fun at a woman already scorned(v.轻蔑轻蔑,嘲笑嘲笑)as a result of her ill breeding.Our Opinionis essentially the story of how Elizabeth(and her true love,Darcy)overcome all obstaclesincluding their own personal failings(n.缺点缺点)to find romantic happiness.Pride and PrejudicePride and PrejudiceElizabeth must not only cope with a hopeless mother,a distant father,two badly behaved younger siblings,and several snobbish(adj.势利的势利的),antagonizing(adj.敌对的敌对的)females,she must also overcome her own mistaken impressions of Darcy,which initially lead her to reject his proposals of marriage.The book shows the writers idea about love and marriage:Its wrong to get married just for property,wealth and status while neither would it be without caring about those elements.Marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.Marriage should be regarded carefully because it is not a game you could just enjoy without prudent(adj.谨慎谨慎的的)consideration.Marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice
