Abstract: In Pride and Prejudice Austen writes about four types of marriage: ideal Elizabeth and Darcy, realizable Charlotte and Collins, felicitous Jane and Bingley, unhappy Lydia and Wickham. In this novel Austen expresses her view of marriage clearly: it is wrong to marry for money, but is silly to marry without it; marriage is associated with property and social status but is not determined by them; no happiness can be obtained from a marriage without love. Austen’s view of marriage lays stress on the importance of striking some balance between love and economic considerations but it seems to insist that love plays a more important role in marriage.
Key words: marriage types; view of marriage; property and social status; love
摘要：奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》中描述了四种男女的婚姻类型：理想的伊丽莎白和达西、现实的夏洛蒂和柯林斯、幸福的吉英和彬格莱以及不幸的莉迪亚和韦翰。通过对这些婚姻类型的描写，奥斯汀清晰地展示了她的婚姻观：为钱结婚是错误的，但找一个没钱的人结婚也是愚蠢的；婚姻虽然与财产门第有联系，但不应该仅仅由财产门第来决定；建立在爱情基础上的婚姻才是幸福的婚姻。总的说来，奥斯汀在她的作品中倡导的是一种爱情与经济并重而以爱情为主的婚姻观，这在当时社会是有进步意义的。
