Abstract: This thesis makes a summary of Austen’s views on marriage in Pride and Prejudice. Through the discussion of four different marriages in the novel, this thesis concludes that, according to Jane Austen, three factors determine a happy marriage. True love is the foundation; attraction of personality is also a main factor that affects one’s marriage, and property is the guarantee of a perfect marriage. The author points out that there are also some limitations due to Austin’s social status and the social and historical environment in which she lived. First, she looked down upon those who marry for money, but attached too much importance to property in marriage subconsciously. Second, all the women in her novels do not have their own careers, so they have to rely on men. The results show that Austen’s novels and her views on marriage were progressive at that time and have great influence on modern women’s views on marriage. As the divorce rate is rising, this thesis aims to raise people’s awareness of marriage.

摘要：本文总结了奥斯丁在《傲慢与偏见》中的婚姻观。通过对四对不同婚姻的讨论，本文得出结论，奥斯丁认为真爱、性格、财产是幸福婚姻中必不可少的重要因素。真爱是婚姻的基础，性格上的吸引也是影响婚姻的一个重要因素，除此之外，财产更是完美婚姻的保证。本文也指出了，由于奥斯丁的社会地位和其所处的历史环境，她的婚姻观也存在一定的局限性。首先，她认为为钱而结婚的行为是愚蠢的，但是她下意识里又强调金钱在婚姻里应首先考虑。其次，她忽视了女性的经济独立。从结果看出，奥斯丁的婚姻观在当时具有进步性，也对现代女性的婚姻观产生了重要影响。因为离婚率的不断上升，本文旨在提高人们对于婚姻的意识。
