Part1 Introduction of Jane Austen
1.1 Jane Austen's background
Jane Austen was born in a village in Hampshire, 1775. Her father was a rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family owning eight child. The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire. She was educated at home with her sisters. Her parents were good readers and she received a broader education. In comparison to many women of her time, she was better educated than ordinary people. Her life was very quietly, cheerfully, and she did small domestic duties at home.
In her adult life, Britain was at war with France. At that period of time, there were a lot of injuries caused by the war. Her brothers, Frank and Charles served in the Royal Navy. On one hand, they brought some wealth and honor. On the other hand, they were in constant danger. Woman's choices were severely limited at that time. Marriage was not just a problem of love, what is more, it was also a problem of money and one's social status.
As it was described in the first chapter of Pride and Prejudice, “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife”, women owned no property at that period of time and marriage was the only way for women to gain social status and recognition.
1.2 Jane Austen's marriage experience and her view of marriage
Jane Austen did not marry in her whole life. Jane Austen's father would like Austen to marry a rich man. However, Jane fell in love with a young lawyer who owned just a little asset. Therefore, his father disagreed with their marriage and required that lawyer come back to his hometown and did not allow the two to meet with each other. Finally, that lawyer married with another woman and Jane Austen chose to be unmarried in all her life.
Her own experience influenced her view of marriage to some extent. In Jane Austen's view, marriage should be based on both love and economic condition, but love plays a more significant role between the both. At that time, she thought it is wrong to marry for money, but at the same time it is unwise to marry without money. Therefore the most ideal marriage is to marry based on both love and economy in her heart. The marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy is just what Jane Austen thought the most successful and ideal marriage.
Part2 Analysis of Elizabeth and Darcy's characters
2.1 Analysis of Elizabeth's characters
In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth appeared as a unique girl who was rebellious and brave with sharp intelligence and witty observation. She is outstanding and she is totally different from other women around her. She dares to speak as well as act. She is determined and strong-minded. She
will do anything she thinks right rather than do everything according to social norms.
For example, when Mr. Collins made a proposal to her, she did not just obey her mother's willing and she followed her own heart to speak against the ridiculous proposal. She refused Mr. Collins directly, “I am very sensible of of the honor of your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than decline them.” She is definitely brave and believes in love, she want to find a man she really loves but not just accept the engagement for family will. She was straight-forward to refuse him, after all, as far as herself concerned, it was absolutely impossible for her to accept such an engagement. Her feelings in every respect forbid it, so she was brave enough to decline the no love involved proposal directly without hesitation. Her rebellion also represented in the conversation with Lady Catherine de Bourgh. As Lady Catherine was considered as a noble image of the high status, nearly all people flattered her deliberately with hypocrisy. However, as for Lady Catherine's air of ungracious, insolent and disagreeable, especially her sarcasm, Elizabeth brave enough to against it. When Catherine came to Elizabeth’s home to blame her because of her engagement with her nephew Darcy, she had taken courage to negotiate with Lady Catherine. We all know in that period of time, there were social ranks in the society, however, she does not feel inferior to others. Instead, she is confident enough to rebel the social
stereotype. She challenge the authority, “But you are not entitled to know mine; nor will suc h behavior as this ever induce me to be explicit.”In response to Lady Catherine-the one represents authority, she didn’t give up but to involve and against as her own will.
2.2 Analysis of Darcy's characters
There is no doubt that Darcy was pride of himself because of his identity and he was differentiate himself from others. At the ball, from the conversation between Darcy and Binley revealed this character, “I certainly shall not, you know how I detest it, unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner. As such an assembly as this, it would be insupportable. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with.” We can see how pride was he for actually there were many pretty girls in the ball, however, he just ignore them and even thought to dance with them was even a punishment for him. When Binley recommended Elizabeth as his partner, he despised with mock that she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt him. What is more, he would not to invite those young ladies who were slighted by other men. He attached too much importance of himself. His pride made a bad impression for Elizabeth when they met in the first time.
However, he was also a man of integrity. He would like to express himself in a direct way rather than hide his sincere feeling. He did not
like other common people who would like to convey their feelings in an indirect way. When Darcy Elizabeth and Bingley talk about the writing style, they have the following conversation. Bingley said, “My ideas flow so rapidly that I have no time to express them by which means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents”. He says those words to express his humility. But at that time Darcy says, “Nothing i s more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast”. He was a true friend with integrity and he did not conceal his real feeling. We may see that he is a true friend.
What is more, at his first proposal to Elizabeth, he did not say any flattered words, he expressed all his opinion about her family and his true love for her sincerely. When Elizabeth was playing piano, as he ever said to Elizabeth, “I certainly have not the talent which some people possess of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done.” He did not hide his flaw and talked with Elizabeth faithfully. It is the character of integrity helped to melt the misunderstanding between them later which finally lead to their happy marriage.
Part3 Marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy
3.1 A happy marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy
The marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy was a happy ending because their marriage was based on sincere love. Darcy was attracted by Elizabeth’s cheerful and lovely characters as time went by although at the first sight he thought she was just tolerable. However, Elizabeth believed in what others said about Mr. Darcy, her prejudice arose the misunderstood between them. However, Darcy’s integrity shorts their distance of their heart. He told Elizabeth his feeling, then Elizabeth made reflection of her former judgment with her calm intelligence.
Actually, it was not just one side that could make the wonderful marriage, it was their love really does matter. A true love is the one that can still reserve entirely although there were many misunderstandings before, just like the marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth. They married each other on equal terms after breaking each other’s pride and prejudice.
The true happy marriage is based on love and sense, the two major characters fell in love with sense, therefore, their love was a wonderful happy marriage.
3.2 A successful and ideal marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy
The marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth was a successful marriage in view of two aspects. Materially, Darcy was a rich man who own a large sum of money. At that period of time, a really true love is
based on both economy and love. The marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth in basis of money and love is the kind of marriage that can last longer in view of people.
Spiritually, the two both pursuit sincere love not based on the social limitations. Elizabeth is intelligent and witty but with the tendency to judge on her first impression. Supposing she did not overcome her prejudice, there would not be such an ideal marriage. Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship is ultimately decided when Darcy overcomes his pride with sincere love, and Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, then, they both fall in love with each other. It seems that everything is best arranged.
What is more, as far as the Jane Austen concerned, the marriage was a great success combined the two factors mentioned above. Marriage based merely on money, property and and social status is not perfect, and it is very stupid; On the contrary, marriage based on love without economical foundation seems imperfect, after all, money is to some extent a necessity for our lives. However, the marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth become a successful one, or in other words, an ideal one because their marriage made up and fulfilled what Jane Austen had not achieved in her real life-the marriage with a man who loves her and she loves him base on economy admitted by her family,
Part4 Conclusion
In Pride and Prejudice, the marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy is
very interesting. Their love is the happy and successful one from the former analysis of the two major role’s character. They have some similar characters, and to some extent their characters are relatively complemented. Elizabeth was a rebellious and brave girl, who was also intelligent and wit. Her sharp and lovely character made conflict with Darcy's characters of pride and at same time it became the most attractive point for Darcy. We may find out the two have some similar characters to some extent which finally make them attract each other and they fell in love.
It seems that their marriage is admirable but also it is ideal. Their marriage was the most worthwhile to appreciate in Pride and Prejudice, however it is the kind of marriage based on love and economy that is most hard to achieve in our really life.

An Analysis of the Design of the First Assembly in Pride and Prejudice [Abstract] In Pride and Prejudice, the first assembly is the stage of the debut of hero, Darcy and the heroine, Elizabeth. Therefore, the design of this assembly, including which part of the assembly should be narrated directly in the description of the assembly, how to do with other things happened during the party, how to shape the characteristics and personality of the two main characters as well as other important role on the assembly, is essentially significant to the character portrait for the whole novel. Mainly employing description of language and technique of comparative description, the plot about this assembly is well-designed as three parts, before, during and after the assembly, which is efficient to the character figuring of the novel. [Keywords] character figuring, design, description of language, comparative description The novel introduces the first assembly in Chapter 3, using only half of a chapter to directly describe things happened on the party while two other whole chapter to show people’s discussion on it. By the delicate design, vivid language description and useful comparative description, the description of this party is highly efficient to the chapter portrait of this novel. Before the party, Mrs. Bennet’s worry about Mr. Bingley’s going into the town is showed, which totally reveals the purpose of Mrs. Bennet’s participating in the dinner, again echoing the description of Mrs. Bennet’s saying "If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield, and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for." (Austen, 2001: 2) at former plot. In the case, the assembly is platform to looking for sweetheart, love and even possible marriage (Yang, 91). At the end of this paragraph, Mr. Bingley’s invitating his sisters and Darcy leads to the appearance of these important characters. For the description of things happened during the party, instead of using scene description to the setting of the ball or psychological description to the participators, language description organized by comparative technique is mainly employed to mould different personality of different participant. First of all, It can be directly seen that the description of Mr. Hurst’s and Mr. Darcy’s first appearance is put in the same paragraph and connected by the conjunction “but”,

进化论还是马克思主义唯物论的文学史观在进入中国后,和中国的社 会现实相结合,本着改变落后,争取富强的目的,被变形处理。以进化 论为指导的英国文学史书写强调文学与国民性的关系,以开民智,启 民力为目的,旨在改变中国国民素质。马克思主义唯物论文学史观最 初一度变成阶级论的文学史观,所有的文学作品都被打上阶级的烙印。进入新时期后,文学史的书写则强调社会经济、政治背景,作家生平, 作品的思想内容,也适当强调作品的艺术特征。最后一节针对英国文 学史书写中的史观问题提出了以人性论为指导的文学史书写问题。第三章首先从文学史的书写体例角度讨论了英国文学史书写中的分期 和撰写体例问题,对比了西方的几部英国文学史,找出异同并阐明了 原因。在分期上,国人倾向于大杂烩式的分期模式,即政治朝代+世纪+文艺思潮等混合体模式。在撰写体例上,受传统史书书写的影响,作家纪传体模式盛行,其次便是分类合编体。而评论体和辞典体则凤毛麟角,应用极少。第二节针对国内分期问题提出了以文学思潮、文学传 播方式为依据的分期模式,针对撰写体例问题提出了以编年体、故事 体为模式的撰写方式。第四章从文学史经典建构的角度讨论了百年来中国的英国文学史经典演变过程和中国文学传统对经典建构的影响 问题。发现中国的英国文学史经典是一步步中国化的过程,是历史、 现实、文化和意识形态共同作用的产物,在经典的选择、经典作家的 评价和经典作品的阐释上都有异于英国本土的文学史。第五章选取了中国不同时期四个比较独特的英国文学史书写案例来进一步说明以 上问题,以期从中窥见出百年来英国文学史在中国(大陆)书写历程和
Bartleby英国文学期末论文
Interpretation of “Bartleby” 2012 English Class, 1204402019, Crush Abstract Herman Melville?s tale “Bartleby”is one of those highly acclaimed symbolic short stories in the 19th century. Bartleby is an exploited worker in the capitalistic prison—Wall Street. To some critics, he is “a Thoreau-like practitioner of passive resistance”or “an autobiographical projection of Melville as alienated author.”1In this article, I am going to concentrate on the dark, ruthless commercial society and its defective capitalist values the narrator wants to reveal in “Bartleby”; specifically, I will illustrate how the narrator?s failure to understand the existence of Bartleby and to help him indicates the limitations of rationalism. Further more, I will also try to explain what does Bartleby really need, and how can people really save him from terrible forlornness. Key words Bartleby society limitation rationalism capitalist values Melville?s “Bartleby”is narrated by the first-person narrator, as he describes himself, is “a man who, from his youth upwards, has been filled with a profound conviction that the easiest way of life is the best…one of those unambitious lawyers who never addresses a jury, or in any way draws down public applause; but in the cool tranquility of a snug retreat, do a snug business among rich men?s bonds and mortgages and title-deeds.” He is quite satisfied with his profitable life. He is proud of himself in his successful business and proudly attached that he was once employed and praised by John Jacob Astor: “All who know me consider me an eminently safe man. The late John Jacob Astor, a personage little given to poetic enthusiasm, had no hesitation in pronouncing my first grand point to be prudence; my next method.”The narrator is a typical business man of Wall Street—the epitome of the increasing urbanized, capital-driven society. The author does not set Wall Street as the backdrop randomly, but uses it 1(journal articles) Y on-jae Jung, “The Poe-esque Elements in Melville?s…Bartleby the Scrivener?”, Foreign Literature Studies 4 (2009), p. 63.

XX英语文学论文开题报告范文题目 an analysis of the character portia in the merchant of venice 一、本课题的研究目的及意义 (一)研究目的 莎士比亚作为英国文艺复兴时期最杰出的艺术大师，被马克思称之为“最伟大的戏剧天才”。透过似真似幻的舞台和匠心独具的故事，莎翁塑造了一系列不朽的人物典型。尤其是塑造了众多而鲜明的人物形象。在莎士比亚的剧作中出场的女性人物有一百多人，在众多的女性人物中上至贵族，下至平民百姓，几乎是各不相同。而《威尼斯商人》中的鲍西亚更是被公认为莎士比亚笔下别具风采的女性形象。众多评论家认为莎士比亚戏剧中刻画的女性形象大都非常贴近生活，具有巨大的认识价值。。在这一讽刺喜剧《威尼斯商人》中鲍西亚美丽、善良、机智、自信、富有才华和胆识，正体现了莎士比亚从男性的视觉自发塑造的理想中的新女性。作为新女性的鲍西亚，具有一定的判逆性格，不甘于被命运摆弄做逆来顺受的“家庭天使”，在一定程度上体现了莎士比亚对人文主义精神的追求。然而，从女性主义的视角来分析，在男性为中心的社会里，鲍西亚绝非真正具有女性的自我意识，而是甘于向父权社会妥协的不完美的新女性。本课题通过对《威尼斯商人》中鲍西亚形象的分析，让读者
了解鲍西亚思想上、性格上的先进性与局限性，对现代女性起到一定的启示作用。 (二)研究意义 莎士比亚通过对生活细致入微的观察，对人性深刻的剖析，创作出《威尼斯商人》这部极具讽刺性的喜剧。在莎士比亚的笔下，女性的感情与理智平分秋色，女性是以与男性平等的形象出现的。这在鲍西亚这一角色身上表现最为突出。鲍西亚美丽温柔、忠贞不渝、善良可爱、机智勇敢、足智多谋。她掌握着自己的命运，不仅在自主选择丈夫方面，而且在与夏洛克的斗争中起到了关键性的作用。在当今的现实生活中，鲍西亚光彩照人的女性形象也可以带给人们启迪和借鉴。鲍西亚在金钱和爱情的杠杆上，选择了爱情。在她的内心深处爱情价更高，是金钱、物质所无法取代的。她对于爱情忠贞不渝和执着，值得现代生活中个别只追求物质享受的女人去学习。在现实生活中，个别人不应该由于自己的优越条件而歧视别人，更要学会不用有色眼光去看待别人。在法庭上，讲义气、才智非凡的鲍西亚女扮男装以法律博士的身份出场，使剧情有了戏剧性的转折，使夏洛克一步步在不知不觉中陷入她的计策。她成功的妙计足以显示出其学问深厚，机智敏锐，有胆有识的特点，这种女性形象也是我们所认同和赞赏的。《威尼斯商人》中的鲍西亚人物形象具有生动鲜明，栩栩如生，有血有肉等特点。本文通过对《威尼斯商人》

英国大宪章人权思想的产生，是英国人民反对封建专制统治的结果。在中世纪，英国王权过大，不仅广大的人民没有人权，就是上层统治阶级的权利也受到严重损害。即使尊贵如贵族似的人物，也不过是国王的奴仆而已，贵族本人甚至不能决定自己的家务事情，例如妇女的婚姻大事等。贵族家庭中妇女的婚嫁，要由国王来决定，这就损害了英国贵族的利益。英国贵族争取权利的斗争，于是从反对国王干涉贵族家庭的内部事务开始。因此，英国贵族成为反对王权、争取人权的斗士。 诺曼底公爵威廉在征服英国后，为了收买人心，争取英国教会、贵族和各阶层人民的支持，于1066年签署了给予臣民一定权利的“王冠宪章”。征服者威廉在“王冠宪章”中宣布，保证要“用正义统治人民、把国王的一切供给人民”，他还保证要制定正义的法律，并且保卫它；他特别强调将禁止各种掠夺、暴力和不公正的审判。 这时发生了影响世界历史发展的十字军东征运动。1099年十字军领导人从穆斯林手中夺取了耶路撒冷后，组织了耶路撒冷市政委员会，起草了《耶路撒冷审判书》。这份重要文件规定了在耶路撒冷，各国国王都要服从耶路撒冷市政委员会的决议。许多英国贵族参加了十字军东征，参与组织了耶路撒冷市政委员会。当这些贵族返回英国后，他们就把限制国王权力的这种精神带回了英国。此后在英国贵族反对王权的斗争中，就有了一个法律依据。这样，十字军东征在世界人权史上占有重要的地位。 在英国贵族的斗争下，1100年国王亨利一世被迫颁布了一个宪章，史称“亨利宪章”。这个宪章保证教会的自由，保证贵族的继承权。其中最为重要的内容是亨利一世表示限制他在控制贵族家庭妇女婚姻问题上的权力。 上述英国人权实践的发展，为大宪章的诞生铺平了道路。 英国大宪章 - 历史意义 虽然第一次发布的大宪章只维持了数星期，但是约翰死后的多次重新发布，使它成为了永久的法律；大宪章亦成为了日后英国宪法的基石。之后亨利三世及他的
