浅析简·奥斯丁的婚姻观

On Jane Austen' s View of Marriage

简·奥斯丁的婚姻观在她的6部以婚姻为主题的小说中有清晰的体现。她的婚姻观虽不可避免地带有时代的烙印,但并不是完全正统的。奥斯丁的婚姻观一直在“理智”与“情感”中徘徊,但最终“情感”战胜了“理智”,“爱情”取代了“金钱”。她最终把爱情、把男女双方真正倾心的爱慕视为婚姻的基础,冲破了当时正统的观念,给人们以启示。

Jane Austen' s views of marriage are embodied clearly in her six marriage - themed novels. There be many traditional marks with Austen' s attitude toward marriage, but none of them, however, were accepted as orthodox at her time, which remained inconsistent with contemporary views prevailing then. Austen has been wandering up and down between sense and sensibility all the time , but finally emotion has overcome reason , the love has replaced money. She regarded the cordial adoration and love as the foundation of marriage between a man and a woman, Anyway, she broke through the orthodox idea at her time after all, and initiated enlighten-ment to the people as well.
