Most of us are familiar with Jane ’ s works such as sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice. But little do we know about Jane. Now I will give a brief introduction to Jane.
Jane Austen, born on 16 December,1775,at the rectory in the village of Steventon , in Hampshire , is one of the best-known novelists in English literature. She was tutored mainly at home by her father and brothers . Due to her poor health,she died on July,18,1817. The language in her works is simple, witty and with quiet irony, which can strike a sympathetic chord in the hearts of its audiences .Her works are mostly about love and marriage in the view of woman . But during her 42 years’ life, she didn’t get married, which shows her belief that a marriage without love will never be happy. As is reflected in the film , she was an independent woman who endeavored to live by her pen instead of marrying a rich man . What makes me desire most is her reble spirit. People valued the propriety highly in that time. But Jane played cricket ball with the male, strolled around the fair and even eloped with her lover. She broke the boundary of propriety. In 18th century, people looked down upon female writing, it was said that to have a wife who has a mind is considered not quite proper . In spite of that , she insisted on writing ,and finally succeeded.
Virginia Woolf thought highly of her, regarding her as

Jane Austen’s Outlook on Marriage
----My idea after reading Emma
英语本0609 韩宏斌 061411191
Having reading Jane Austen’s famous novel Emma, which is considered as her most
classic work, I lost myself in pondering one word—marriage.
This novel is composed by some marital stories which are connected by Emma, the matchmaker. Through the novel, we can see people’s outlook on marriage in England
that that time. In the 18 century, women craved for marrying a gentleman who
possessed considerable wealth and high social status. Love, seemed of no significance. This was because at that time, women had no right to inherit the possession. Their only way to live a desirable life after their fathers’ death was to marry a wealthy man
who also possessed high social status. That is why in Pride and Prejudice Mrs.
Bonnet was crazy to marry her daughters off.
In the novel Emma, we can see that this outlook had great influence on Jane Austen on the grounds that almost all marriages created by her are on the basis of wealth and social status. However, Austen had her own idea. She also emphasized love. From her point of view, happy marriage= love + wealth + equal social status. In the novel, Austen narrated different kinds of marriages to express her idea, but all of them had relations with wealth, social status and love. Now, we will perceive how her marital outlook was embodied in the novel.
In Emma, what impresses me most is not Emma and Knightly’s combination,
but Jane and Frank’s story. When I was reading the novel, their strange behaviors aroused my interest. They didn’t unveil their relationship until Frank’s aunt’s death.
Why? That was because Mrs. Churchill, frank’s aunt wouldn’t agree their marriage at
all. It was reasonable at that time. Jane was an orphan who was brought up by her father’s friends. She had no noble background and no possession, which would not match the noble Churchill family. Even though Jane was elegant and well-educated, she still would not be accepted by rich family. This was a cruel phenomenon in English. Therefore, I guess, when Frank showed his attachment to Jane, she accepted willingly. I guess that she was eager to marry a rich and noble man to avoid herself of becoming a governess, whose life was just like a slave. Did they love each other? Maybe, but not very deeply. To some extent, Frank was just a little gentle. He had no capacity to match Jane if not considering the factors of wealth and social status. Anyhow they married for God’s sake. Here Austen pointed that wealth and social
status attached great importance in marriage. Austen cast her criticism to the sad fact that people’s eye was only on wealth and high social status.
Compared with Jane, Harriet’s marriage was not that successful. Harriet, the
miserable girl, even didn’t know who her father was. Her position was so inferior that she had no choice but to rely on her so-called best friend—Emma. Under Emma’s
matchmaking, Harriet thought she should fell in love with Mr. Elton. However, it was impossible because she was too obscure to match the rich and prestigious vicar.
Failing in love with Elton, Harriet turned her goal to Knightly, but it was unrealistic too. On one hand, it was by virtue of the disparity of wealth and social status; on the other hand, Knightly loved Emma. In Austen’s eyes, marriage without love was
contemptuous. At the same time, Emma was under an illusion that Harriet would fell in love with Frank. Actually, at first, Harriet’s experience was a tragedy. Austen
criticized the scornful phenomenon of marriage on society by the example of Harriet.
To draw a shot conclusion, in Jane and Harriet’s cases, I don’t think Austen
appreciated them very much. She just wanted to unveil England’s outlook on marriage
at that time. Obviously, Austen gave her criticism to it. However, she didn’t deny this
kind of marriage absolutely since she gave Jane and Frank love and they married at last; Harriet also found her happiness with Martin (we will mention it later). This illustrated that Austen didn’t think marriage without enough money and social status
was possible. Then, we will ask, what kind of marriage did Austen prefer?
Well, let us take Harriet as an example again. Constant failure in love led to Harriet’s realization of her mistake. Finally, she found her Mr. Right—Mr. Martin. As
a matter of fact, at the beginning we can see that Harriet and Martin loved each other. Just because of Emma’s luring that Harriet should look for a better man to match her, they did not get together. I figure that according to Austen’s standard of marriage,
Harriet and Martin matched very much. Martin was a peasant who was industrious and good hearted. He had the ability to support the family. At last, Harriet’s identity
was also discovered. She was the illegitimate daughter of a trade person. Both of them had low social status .The most important point was that they loved each other. Therefore, marriage with wealth and equal social status as well as love was preferred by Jane Austen.
Another example is Mrs. Weston and Mr. Weston’s marriage. We know that Mr.
Weston married Miss Churchill at first, but their marriage caused hardship to both. Miss Churchill came from a wealthy and noble family who was obviously superior to Mr. Weston, who was only a trade man. His second marriage was happier because their social status was more equal---Mrs. Weston was a governess before marriage. What’s more, they loved each other and respected each other. Comparatively speaking, they lived a happy and comfortable life.
From these two cases, we can fathom what kind of marriage Jane Austen preferred--- love is the basis; enough wealth and equal social status are necessary. These two examples are nice explanation on Austen’s outlook on marriage, but not the
best one. In her mind, Emma and Knightly are the best combination of Marriage.
Emma was the richest lady in Austen’s writing. She owned an income of 30,000
dollars every year. As the leading role of this novel, she possessed distinct characteristics, but the most important point that she was the one who preferred to be single rather than marry one she didn’t love at all. This paved the way for Emma and
Knight’s love. Finally she realized her true love and dared to pursue it owning to her character. As to Knightly, he had been the guidance of Emma and loved Emma from heart. Knightly was a respected landowner and enjoyed high reputation. Considering all the factors, from sentiment, wealth and social status, they were appropriately matched. Therefore, I figure, this was what Austen appreciated the most. With the
combination of love, wealth and high social states, Emma and Knightly must lead a happy life.
However, is it possible for every lady to marry her Mr. Right? I don’t think so.
Here the story ended as a happy ending, but it is not easy to find Mr. or Mrs. Right at
life, she didn’t that time. I can’t help thinking Austen’s life. During her 42 years’
marry. She devoted to creating happy marriages without creating hers. Maybe just as film Becoming Jane described. She met 3 men in her life. The one who had loving her in heart destroyed her happiness. The one she had to marry was disgusting. The last one was the layer. Even though they loved each other, they couldn’t be together
because of social reality. Therefore, Austen chose to be single. As far as I am concerned, Austen’s failure in marriage just because she had the desire to get rid of earthly marital outlook at that time, but at the same time she couldn’t find the one
who matched her from all aspects. Therefore, she gave up; instead, she poured all her feelings into lovers in her books and delivered her ideal pattern of marriage.
The draw a conclusion, in the novel Emma, Austen conveyed her criticism
towards peoples’ outlook on marriage that took wealth and high social states as the only factors on marriage, neglecting love. She expressed her marital outlook that marriage should be on the basis of love but at the same time should take wealth and equal social status into account. I figure even today, Austen’s marital outlook is well
worth our deep consideration. Let’s remember Emma and remember Jane Austen.

幕后制作
小说与现实生活,影片就好像是简·奥斯汀六本小说中讲述的故事在 21世纪的 现代版
书友会里的六名 成员 也经历过爱情的渴望和绝望,都曾因为友谊得到过安慰和误解。 作为一个复杂社会的社交 动物 , 他们无一例外都需要面对无数个使生活变得愈加 复杂 的难题。书友会里的成员每个月都需要阅读一本奥斯汀的小说,然后从中寻找和自己 的生活相似的元素进行比较??正在离婚的西尔维娅无疑是 《曼斯菲尔德庄园》 在现 实生活中的真实写照,这部小说里充满了人与人之间的分裂、对爱情的失望、婚姻的 缺陷以及通奸,西尔维娅在讨论的时候甚至会因为乔斯琳的一句话而嚎啕大哭。虽然 乔斯琳有点不屑做这种无意义的读书行为, 但她也能从简·奥斯汀的小说中找到自己 的参照物:那就是 《艾玛》 中的女主角,一个可爱、富有、活泼的女性,喜欢 不厌其 烦 地管闲事、做媒婆,她自认为能够洞悉身边每一个人的需求,可爱情降临到她的身 上时,却又变得愚蠢且盲目??乔斯琳任性、固执地忽视格瑞格对她的爱意,然后将
他推给西尔维娅。不过西尔维娅显然为这次离婚伤透了心,没有注意到这些小细节。 在小说 《诺桑觉寺》 中,女主角就是因为太过迷恋那种哥特式的传奇故事而变得有点 神经兮兮,有趣的事,格 瑞格 在郊外的村屋就是以万圣节的风格进行装饰的。在谈及 《傲慢与偏见》的时候,里面就增添了许多反讽的调调,因为这部简·奥斯汀作品中 最浪漫的故事, 竟然在书友会的讨论中得到了最多的悲叹和忧虑??至于乔斯琳与格 瑞格之间的斗嘴,真的像 达西 和伊丽莎白·贝内特那般恶毒,而父亲和母亲的离婚使 孩子遭受到的痛苦,也与小说中提及的一模一样。《理智与情感》中,错位的婚约打 破了两个穷困的姐妹对爱情所有美好的期望, 这部小说为书友会的成员提供了一个故 事背景,可以将他们之间存在的所有不和谐观点和态度全部说出来?? 《爱情游戏》 是书友会讨论的最后一部小说,最终 溶解 了许多发生在六位成员身上的故事:这里有 一对多年前在痛苦中分手的恋人, 他们在互相伤害中重新找到了解决办法和曾经的爱 情,在经历了那么多的踌躇和误解之后,终于迎来了“第二次机会”。普 鲁迪 和迪安 之间发生的一切就可以套用到这部小说里,当然也包括西尔维娅和 丹尼尔 ,同时它还 鼓励了乔斯琳、格瑞格、阿莱格拉和伯纳黛特,帮助他们重新走上了生活的道路上。 与书友会有关的每一对情侣在影片的结尾处都找到了满意的答案和幸福, 这与简·奥 斯汀一贯在小说中使用的美满主题再一次 不谋而合 。
小说魅力
当你开始喜欢简·奥斯汀,她在小说中创造的那个世界就不会显得陈旧过时了。 她的角色总是为了钱担心,还要与难纠的家人 周旋 ,因为不善交际而有所退缩 --他们 将本应该用来谈 恋爱 的时间大多花在了这上面, 最后就连最基本的期望也变得毫无价 值了。罗宾·史威考德说:“简而言之,奥斯汀给出了许多和我们很像的人物角色, 只除了我们不能通过交罚款而代替监禁,当然也不用每天工作 12-14个小时。”
当罗宾·史威考德读完了凯伦·裘伊·弗勒的小说, 她发现自己已经没办法按捺 住自己的冲动了:“生活的快节奏和速食文化将我们变成了那种善于言辞的同时还要 习惯性隐藏真正的自己的人,即使在家也没办法完全放松,因为对于我们中的很多人 来说,家也成了一个工作场所。我们在网上聊天、收邮件、浏览网页、看 在线小说
, 即使在吃饭的时候也不忘发短信给 选秀 节目投票,在信息时代如此发达的今天,我们 却越来越少地探求彼此,这真的很荒谬。在这个利己主义盛行的时代里,我们也只能 面对现实,我们都生活在自己的小圈子里,轻易不肯迈出来。但弗勒的小说却给出了 完全不同的观点,因为她记录了这个物质化世界中的一次 勇敢 行为,这里有六个人, 他们同意阅读简·奥斯汀的六本小说, 然后每个月一次从城市的各个角落聚在一起进 英国 19世纪女作家简 ·奥斯汀的经典爱情著作相继被搬上 银幕 ,而她本人唯一一 段刻骨铭心恋情却鲜为人知。随着电影《成就简》 3月开拍,这一空白将被弥补。奥 斯汀用独特和细腻笔触创作出感人至深的爱情故事,自己却终身未婚。而《成就简》 一片就将解开她的情路历程。这部影片以人物传记《成就简 ·奥斯汀》为蓝本,而传 记作者 斯彭斯 也成为影片的历史顾问。
。 “ 爱的小屋 ” 身价飙升这段恋情没有让奥斯汀成为勒弗罗伊太太, 却激励她 成为 英国历史 上最受欢迎的女作家之一。 “ 是他告诉她,她拥有才华。是他 鼓励 她在 写作中追随自己的思想。 尽管他俩没有在一起, 但这段恋情却激发她成为 职业 作家。 ” 雷说。另一方面,奥斯汀和勒弗罗伊第一次相遇的房子也行情看涨。这座名为 “ 迪恩 小屋 ” 的房子坐落在 汉普郡 ,充满浓郁的英式特点,典雅而舒适。悠久历史、建筑价 值再加上凄美爱情故事,这座小屋已经被开出 1000万英镑的高价。
小说特点
根据 《简明不列颠百科全书》 的说法,简·奥斯丁是“第一个现实地描绘日常平 凡生活中平凡人物的小说家。(她的作品)反映了当时英国中产阶级生活的喜剧,显 示了‘家庭’文学的可能性。她多次探索青年女主角从恋爱到 结婚 中自我发现的过 程。这种着力分析人物性格以及女主角和社会之间紧张关系的做法,使她的小说摆脱 十八世纪的传统而接近于现代的生活。正是这种现代性,加上她的机智和风趣,她的 现实主义和同情心,她的 优雅 的散文和巧妙的故事结构,使她的小说能长期吸引读 者。”并且说:“当时(指十九世纪初)流行夸张戏剧性的浪漫小说,已使人们所厌 倦,奥斯丁的朴素的现实主义启清新之风,受到读者的欢迎??到二十世纪,人们才 认识到她是英国 摄政王 时期(1810--1820)最 敏锐 的观察者,她 严肃 地分析了当时社 会的性质和文化的质量,记录了旧社会向现代社会的转变。现代 评论家 也赞佩奥斯丁 小说的高超的组织结构, 以及她能于平凡而狭窄有限的情节中揭示生活的悲喜剧的 精 湛 技巧。”
本文作者在阅读了中外评论家对奥斯丁的分析评论之后,觉得还是以上所引的
简 ·奥斯汀作品《理智与情感》封面
简短结论最为准确精到。内中惟一未突出提到的是奥斯丁塑造人物的巨大才能(每部 小说的主角都是青年女性,但她们无一雷同),以及她能站在更高角度,冷眼看待、 评论这些人物(特别是她心爱的人物)的 睿智 目光。奥斯丁曾说过什么是好的作品。 她说:“??有些作品,其中展示了才智最强大的力量;其中作者以最精心选择的语 言向世人传达了对人性最透彻的了解、对这种丰富多彩的人性恰到好处的描绘,以及 对机智 幽默 最生动活泼的抒发。”(见《诺桑觉寺》第五章末段)奥斯丁的几部作品, 可以毫无愧惭地说,都是达到了这样的标准的。
语言特色
奥斯丁的语言确实出色,这在提高她作品的水准上起着很大的作用。她的对话不 但符合人物性格,而且常含机锋。(奥斯丁小时候曾和家人演戏自娱,写好对白自是 她的特长。)叙述描写部分语言通常徐缓舒展,与她所写的那个历史时期的社会环境 与人物身份非常配称。
作者偶尔亦用曲笔,不动声色地说几句谑而不虐的反话,使读懂的读者不禁要发 出会心的 微笑 。(批评家瓦尔特·艾伦就说过,整部《爱玛》,“就是在嘲弄中孕育 成的。”)在结构上,《爱玛》亦极匀称紧密。除了书中 高潮 处外,每一章亦都有精 彩的“看点”。
这就使得翻译者苦苦奋斗工作时,又自有乐趣,仿佛是“从山阴道上行, 山川自相映发,使人应接不暇。”相信读者在读她的书时,也会有这样的体会的。有 批评 家说过:“在《爱玛》中,整个主题就是女主人公痛苦的认识自身并逐渐抛开幻 想的过程。”
范文五:寻找简.奥斯汀
“我倒希望不要轻易责难一个人,可是我一向都是想到什么就说什么。要是他没有触犯我的骄傲,我也很容易原谅他的骄傲,我以为骄傲是一般人的通病。”对爱情和现实的考究,对优美的环境描写,初?奥斯汀的作品,不知不觉就会深陷其中,从书本到电影,每一句对白,每一个场景,无不牵动每个人的心,于是心生向往,赶着夏天的步伐去一睹英伦乡村风采,去寻找简?奥斯汀。 十九世纪的乡村,恬静、舒适的生活环境,浪漫而不失现实的爱情故事,简?奥斯汀用她细腻的笔触以女性特有的细致入微的观察力,真实地描绘了她周围世界的小天地,《傲慢与偏见》《理智与情感》《曼斯菲尔德花园》《爱玛》《洛桑觉寺》《劝道》,轻松诙谐的格调,富有喜剧性冲突,尤其是绅士淑女间的婚姻和爱情风波,在这物草丰美,景色宜人的乡村,构筑了一道美丽的风景线。 《理智与情感》是简?奥斯汀的处女座,电影《理智与情感》向观众展现了每个庄园的不同风貌,也真正抓住了英国花园的全部特征。景色美轮美奂,令人目不暇接。影片中的三处花园都有其独特的美感:诺兰德庄园舒适可爱、巴顿庄园优美风雅,而属于达什伍德姐妹俩的巴顿别墅依山傍水,是在自然中的花园。诺兰德庄园取景于英国威尔特郡索尔兹伯里的威尔顿庄园,走近威尔顿庄园,你会看见建筑轻巧,地势起伏,除了有大片修剪的草坪,还有一条宽阔平整的林荫大道,建筑与花园之间结合得更甜美,它不像别的一些城堡那样大气,而更具生活化,城堡周围被树木包围,在夏日的清晨,寻一处绿荫,泡上一壶花茶,在花香间仔细品味奥斯汀书中那一抹清新的气息,实在是令人向往。 《傲慢与偏见》电影中的彭伯利庄园取景自英国的查兹沃斯庄园,是英国最美的庄园之一,庄园面对着平静的湖面,两边青山掩映,绿树亭亭如盖,被誉为“英国王冠上的珍珠”。从小镇上走路半个多小时都是山野和绵羊,草地和绿树向四面蔓延开来仿佛连接天际。 整个查兹沃斯占据着一百多平方公里的领地,包括有郊外公园,农场牧场,树林,花园和庄园别墅。公爵和公爵夫人现在仍然住在庄园内,只是把部分花园、房间和大厅开放给公众参观,门票收入用以补贴庞大的开支。 查兹沃斯拥有英国最大规模的私人收藏艺术品:它的花园颇为壮观,温室,瀑布,雕塑,喷泉,湖泊,迷宫,石山,遍布在园林中:现在查兹沃斯府邸开放给公众的大约是一半的房间,除了绘画大厅和雕塑陈列室,还有图书馆,宴会厅,小教堂和音乐室等等。所有这些房间都是以浓彩壁画,古董家具,名贵油画,繁复的装饰而组成的。每一幅画,每一件家具,每一样艺术品,都是一副精美的画面。 来Hathersage小镇不为别的,只为影片中伊丽莎白身处悬崖的剪影,走过一个又一个平原,越过North Lees Hall后继续上山,终于看到了伊丽莎白在悬崖上的那片风景,山风猎猎,面对广阔的平原,俯仰天地之间有一种山登绝顶我为峰的快感,这时候,自然的一切都显得是渺小。Stanage edge是德比郡著名的天然岩场,也是针对专家级攀岩者的天然岩峰。欣赏完美丽的英伦自然风光再来一次紧张刺激的冒险之旅,在轻松与刺激之间来一次酣畅淋漓的英伦之旅不失为一个好的旅游方案。 在1996年的《爱玛》中,第一次从内外风景两个方向完整地表现了一座大型庄园的全貌,这就是sudeley城堡,它建于9世纪,位于彻特纳姆市北6英里处,是凯瑟琳?帕尔皇后逝去和埋藏的地方,她的许多遗物,如祈祷书等,仍然保存在这座城堡里。 俯视远处的风景,那成片的羊群像白云一样在草原上“漂浮”,不知名的小花爬满整个山坡,轻轻的在风中招摇。相比城市的喧闹,你更能从这广阔的田园风景中找到片刻的安静。 在这绿草茵茵,树木茂盛、小流潺潺的乡间,一栋别致的小屋、一座庄严的城堡,放眼望去,山峦耸立,蜿蜓山谷,倾泻而下的瀑布以及明净如波的湖泊,更有开着漫山遍野的小花的小山坡,当然最迷人的要算这里曾经发生的迷人的爱情故事。在生机勃勃的夏日,驱散心中的阴霾,带上好心情,飞越草地,穿过山林,在琴声和歌声中,寻找奥斯汀那爱情发生地,谱一首满含乡村气息的英国田园诗。
