摘要:无论时代如何变迁,人们对爱情与婚姻的渴望追求却从未停滞不前。而婚恋观是人们价值观在恋爱、婚姻问题上的体现,在很大程度上影响和决定着人们是否获得幸福的婚姻和恋爱。早在十八世纪末,十九世纪初的英国伟大的现实主义作家,简·奥斯丁(Jane Austen,1775—1817),便以代表作之一--《傲慢与偏见》描绘了当时几个类型的婚姻,并阐述了理想婚姻的要素。此后她的婚恋观并没有被时代所淹没,反而被视为经典。作为二十一世纪的大学生,他们的婚恋观如何,不但影响着他们的健康成长,更关系到未来社会家庭的发展趋势。
因此,本研究试图先以问卷调查的方式,调查目前大学生对爱情和婚姻的看法,找出这些观点中存在的问题。希望通过探讨《傲慢与偏见》中取得幸福婚姻的要素,让大学生们能从中得到启示,并树立健康理性的婚恋观,正确处理好爱情,婚姻和学业的关系。
