Abstract: Pride and Prejudice is a very popular novel written by Jane Austen and has delighted readers for nearly two hundred years. In this novel, Jane Austen gave a detailed delineation of her characters especially women and their attitudes towards marriage. Because of the social background, women always have a limited choice of their marriage, especially the women without a good fortune. In this novel, Charlotte Lucas belongs to this group. So she gets married just for the purpose of money, which has a great influence on marriage. But the heroin, Elizabeth, unlike her good friend Charlotte, insists that marriage should be based on love. She also puts her idea into action. After overcoming various obstacles, she finally wins her happiness by marrying Mr. Darcy. The first part of this paper the writer first illustrates the social background of the18th and 19th century in Britain, including women’s status, education and their attitudes toward marriage. Then the marriage case of Charlotte Lucas will be taken as an example to prove the first part. The third part, the writer discusses Elizabeth Bennet’s marriage, including her efforts to pursue marriage based on love and her totally different views on marriage from Charlottes’. Through the comparative study between Charlotte Lucas and Elizabeth Bennet’s marriages, the author of this paper illustrates women’s social status in the 18th and 19th century in Britain and points out the correct views toward marriage.

Now the end of the novel should come, and so do this paper. Charlotte Lucas and Elizabeth Bennet are taken as typical example to discuss women’s marriage at Jane Austen’s time. Due to the historic background, women have very limited choice of their marriages, especially those without good fortunes. They have to marry men with estates to secure their livelihoods. Charlotte belongs to this group. She marries Mr. Collins only for the economic purpose, and naively thinks she can get happiness from her marriage. But the fact is not like that. It’s really a pity for her. Unlike her good friend, Elizabeth has a totally different view towards marriage. She refuses to marry Mr. Collins and Darcy’s first proposal. Few women can do the same thing at that time. She always wants to find her true love. After experiencing many obstacles she finally gets married her true love, Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth and Darcy's marriage is an excellent match. They understand, attract and love each other. They are financially secure, romantic and enjoy each other’s companionship. They are the two I believe would be most happiest in life. Austen wants the reader to know that marriage should be approached as a package deal - a package of love, financial stability, physical attraction, and happiness.
