8、engaged. The story ends with both their happy marriages.Sir Walter Scott 评论READ again, and for the third time at least, Miss Austens very finely written novel of Pride and Prejudice. That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to
9、 me the most wonderful I ever met with. The big bow-wow strain I can do myself like any now going; but the exquisite touch, which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting, from the truth of the description and the sentiment, is denied to me.From The Journal of Sir Walter Scott,
10、 March, 1826.We bestow no mean compliment upon the author of Emma when we say that keeping close to common incidents, and to such characters as occupy the ordinary walks of life, she has produced sketches of such spirit and originality that we never miss the excitation which depends upon a narrative
11、 of uncommon events, arising from the consideration of minds, manners, and sentiments, greatly above our own. In this class she stands almost alone; for the scenes of Miss Edgeworth are laid in higher life, varied by more romantic incident, and by her remarkable power of embodying and illustrating n
12、ational character. But the author of Emma confines herself chiefly to the middling classes of society; her most distinguished characters do not rise greatly above well-bred country gentlemen and ladies; and those which are sketched with most originality and precision, belong to a class rather below
13、that standard. The narrative of all her novels is composed of such common occurrences as may have fallen under the observation of most folks; and her dramatis person conduct themselves upon the motives and principles which the readers may recognize as ruling their own, and that of most of their own
14、acquaintances.From The Quarterly Review, October, 1815.Lord Macaulay 评论SHAKESPEARE has had neither equal nor second. But among the writers who, in the point which we have noticed, have approached nearest to the manner of the great master we have no hesitation in placing Jane Austen, a woman of whom
15、England is justly proud. She has given us a multitude of characters, all, in a certain sense, commonplace, all such as we meet every day. Yet they are all as perfectly discriminated from each other as if they were the most eccentric of human beings. There are, for example, four clergymen, none of wh
16、om we should be surprised to find in any parsonage in the kingdomMr. Edward Ferrars, Mr. Henry Tilney, Mr. Edmund Bertram, and Mr. Elton. They are all specimens of the upper part of the middle class. They have all been liberally educated. They all lie under the restraints of the same sacred professi
17、on. They are all young. They are all in love. Not one of them has any hobby-horse, to use the phrase of Sterne. Not one has a ruling passion, such as we read of in Pope. Who would not have expected them to be insipid likenesses of each other? No such thing. Harpagon is not more unlike to Jourdain, J
18、oseph Surface is not more unlike to Sir Lucius OTrigger, than every one of Miss Austens young divines to all his reverend brethren. And almost all this is done by touches so delicate that they elude analysis, that they defy the powers of description, and that we know them to exist only by the genera
19、l effect to which they have contributed.From essay on Madame DArblay, 1843. My point of view towards the masterpiece of Jane Austens is that this novel reflects the English human sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative，and tells us th
20、e difference ways and attitudes to marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bennets five daughters. Thereby reveal the author herself attitude towards marriage, that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, but it is also stupid Without considering all of these. There, the aut
21、hor emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, to be opposed to love & marriage based on money or property and to be opposed to peoples laugh love & marriage off. The author takes the affection/love as the cornerstone of ideal marriage between male and female. Elizabeth as the leading ch
22、aracter in this novel, was born in the family of squireens, and is loved by Darcy. Darcy propose marriage to her in spite of difference in the possession of property and social status, but is refused by Elizabeth for his pride , the novel demonstrate that if the pride of Darcys existed ， there will
23、be no love and also happy marriage between Elizabeth and he, it is really nice that Elizabeth witness the changes of Darcys through series of behavior in the following days. viewing that he is no longer pride and then eliminating her prejudice to him, finally engaged with him and leading a happy mar
24、riage. The author described that female is in pursuit of independent personality and equal right through several different attitudes of Elizabeth for Darcys propose marriage. Meanwhile, demonstrate Elizabeths independent understanding for a happy marriage. In this article, the writer described sever
25、al unperfect marriages of Elizabeths sisters and close friends, aimed at making a sharp contrast with Elizabeths beatific marriage and revealed that marriage without love but base on social status and property actually is a kind of public tragedies. Humorous, ironical, polished language and real storyline is also occurred in this article.-
