内容提要

《傲慢与偏见》是简奥斯丁一本在全世界都被广泛传颂的小说，写于1813年，我们可以通过这本小说将婚姻分为几种典型并且分析这几种婚姻观的价值取向。

有些人认为婚姻是用来创造机会去提高自己的社会地位和获得金钱支撑，金钱与社会地位是他们选择伴侣时考虑的最密切联系的东西。

婚姻是一座城，男女主角达西和伊丽莎白那样的人却愿意完全摒除偏见与傲慢心甘情愿地进入这座城，所以爱情的力量是伟大的，可以让人丢掉傲慢与偏见去重新认识并且接受一个人。

本文主要透过分析女主人共伊丽莎白对于几段婚姻的看法来分析这本书的婚姻观。

通过对伊丽莎白的性格分析来帮助我们解读者个性格独立而又睿智的女主角从而可以更加透彻的了解作者的作品。
