【摘要】簡·奥斯丁是十九世纪英国文学史上最伟大的现实主义小说家之一。奥斯丁的代表作《傲慢与偏见》最为典型地反映了她的婚姻观。在这部小说中，奥斯丁描述了三种主要的婚姻类型：伊丽莎白和达西的婚姻即有经济保障，又有爱情基础；夏绿蒂与柯林斯的婚姻只是为了追求“可靠的储藏室”，根本没有感情基础；丽迪娅的婚姻纯粹是出于性冲动，完全不顾后果。作者的理想婚姻类型是伊丽莎白的婚姻，她的独立人格和进步的女性意识深受作者的喜爱。
在当时，妇女的社会地位极其低下，婚姻是她们提高地位的最好途径。并且金钱在婚姻中的地位举足轻重。伊丽莎白能够在那样的背景下把爱情放在考虑婚姻的首位，对当时的社会是一沉重批判。实际上，伊丽莎白的婚姻观就是作者的婚姻观。
因此作者的婚姻观带有明显的进步色彩。

【Abstract】Jane Austen is one of the greatest realistic novelists in English literature in the 19th century.Austen’s masterpiece Pride and Prejudice fully embodies her view of marriage.In this novel three major types of marriage manifest themselves：the marriage of sensible Elizabeth and decent Darcy involves both love and money，but attaches great importance to love；the marriage of mediocre Charlotte and vulgar Collins includes money but not love；the marriage of empty-minded Lydia and dissolute Wickham brings them neither love nor money.Austen prefers Elizabeth’s marriage because of Elizabeth’s independent and progressive feminine consciousness.
At that time，women’s status was quite inferior.The best and the only way for them to raise status is to get married，and money plays a very important role in marriage.In that case，Elizabeth attaches great importance to love rather than money in marriage，making a great criticism to that society.In fact，Elizabeth’s view of marriage is just Austen’s view of marriage.
Therefore，Austen’s view of marriage bears an obvious progressive color.

Chapter One Social Background
A general knowledge of the social and cultural setting in which a novel is written is important，for most novels mirror the customs and values of a particular society，often criticizing it.
Pride and Prejudice was set among the rural middle and upper classes who were landowners.None of the major characters worked，for these moneyed classes lived entirely on their income from rents and inheritances.For the women of the time，life was largely restricted to the home and the family.For the poor and the lower-class women，there was ample work in the home and the in the fields to keep them busy.But for the ladies of the upper classes，life was one big round of dances，dinners，cards，and visits to the friends and relatives.
At that time，well-educated young women of small fortune had three choices.Firstly，she kept as an old virgin，even today，nobody wants to be like this.Secondly，she could work as a tutor.However，she could earn very little money and this post was at the bottom of the society.Jane Austin used to describe a women tutor’ fate was absolutely inferior to a black slave.The last and the best way was to marry.Marriage at that time was indeed a shortcut for women to extricate themselves from predicaments，but economic considerations should not be neglected because a marriage without financial security could only put women into another difficult situation，in which they might suffer poverty again，and even disagreeable husbands as well.
