内容简介

ALTHOUGH the novel is written in the third person。 Austen onlydepicts scenes in which Elizabeth is present——and this is true of noother character. The content of the novel is the story of Elizabeth, ofhow she and Darcy arrive at nuptial happiness by an improbableand circuitous route. The story Austen has written is that of Darcy'swooing and winning of Elizabeth.
　　Darcy's capture of Elizabeth represents the triumph of reason overperversity. But Darcy does not win Elizabeth merely by persistence,though this helps greatly. To win the love of such a woman is noteasy but Darcy believes it to be well worthwhile—— she will love him,if ever she does, for himself, as she is not desperate to achieve greatwealth or social status through marriage.
