Abstract: As one of the most famous realistic writers in English literature in the 19th century, Jane Austen’s most popular novel is Pride and Prejudice, in which Jane Austen depicted four different types of marriage and made it clear her own view of marriage. This paper aims to analyze the four different kinds of marriage in the novel. Women enjoy a low status at that time and it has a great impact on their marriages. Holding different attitudes toward the low status, women finally get different marriages. Through this paper, readers may have a better understanding of women at that time and think more about women’s choosing right marriage and the improvement of women’s status.
