I wish you true pleasure from the masterpiece of English literature!

Jane Austin is one of the most popular writers of the late 18 and early 19th century. Most are known thanks to their novel "Pride and Prejudice", but this is not the only successful work. All her works are impregnated with real emotions and filled with interesting thoughts. In each story, the moral thin thread worst any action of heroes, indicating the loyalty and infidelity of their solutions and actions.

This story Jane Austin began to write at the age of 21. Having finished working on it, the writer gave the manuscript to the publishing house, but it was refused. I had to postpone the publication of the book for a long 15 years. Before trying to print this novel again, Austin tried well, completely edited and improved the material.

Initially, the novel was called the "first impression", that's the way she called him in a letter to her sister. Then in 1811 or 1812 (there is no accurate data) the writer renames the book in "Pride and Prejudice". Presumably the name was changed in order to avoid travelers with other versions of the same name. There is a hypothesis that until the manuscript is completely edited, the "first impression" was a novel in letters.

Jane Austin sold "pride and prejudice" to the publisher of Thomas Eggirtan. In turn, he published the first edition in three volumes on January 27, 1813. The second edition was published in November of the same year. The third edition was published in 1817. In the publishing book, the book was not written by Jane Austin, in the line "Author" was indicated: "Written by the author of the meaning and sensitivity" ("Mind and feelings").

Genre, direction

Work is written in the novel genre. For all works Austin is characterized by the direction of realism. All situations in her work are associated with marriage for the calculation, with love between people from different levels of society - a characteristic feature of that time. It was relevant then, and relevant so far.

All the narration of the novel comes from the face Elizabeth. The reader takes the point of the vision of the heroine. Feels peace with her eyes, her thoughts. This feature is characteristic of almost all works of the author. We will learn about the feelings of other characters through letters. They also contribute to the further disclosure of the characters of certain actors. So, in one of the letters we will learn about the essence of Mr. Wickham. Through it, the inner world of Mr. Darcy itself is revealed.

Essence

At that time, married was calculated. Roughly speaking, if the party is beneficial for the future and for the family, then nothing to talk about. Wedding will be. Get married, marry love - rarity for people of that time. The book is devoted to this problem: the heroine is stubbornly defended its right to dispose of his feelings. Perhaps this work the writer wanted to show that to defend his desire to marry love is not so bad. Yes, there will be a misunderstanding from society, but on the other hand there will be no difficulty of living in the company not a particularly beloved person.

Despite the surrounding pressure, as the example of a heroine proves to us, it is worth being faithful to themselves. If you feel that you do it right, that your feelings are not deceived, and you understand that otherwise you will be worse, it means that you need to continue to be confident in this and do not succumb to the provocations of other people. Only so you can stay happy and watch a hard man who cannot be broken with other people's opinions.

Main characters and their characteristics

1. The main heroine of the novel is Elizabeth Bennet - A judicious girl who knows exactly what she wants. Lizzy, as gentlely calls her father, is not able to adapt to whose desires. She is ready to go against the views of the majority, if she is sure that the decision proposed by them will not bring her happiness. Despite the sound mind, it is not devoid of light and cheerful lava. He loves to swear and laugh, favorably refers to the whims of their family. It is not so perceptive, but this is her charm. Over time, she will be able to see the true face of people near. She judges them on the basis of the first impression, but also can easily change his opinion when it will understand what was mistaken in man.
2. Mr. Darcy - Another main character. Its image is complicated from the main features of a rich and decent man. It combines nobility with arrogance, a big mind with negligence, closed behavior with a big heart. For Mr. Darcy is characterized by a different education, rather than for Elizabeth Bennet. He is a man of noble blood, belongs to another level of society. It honors all restrained, neat and clear. He does not understand the life of a small town. Initially, it seems as if this hero is a negative character, but during the narrative its image is revealed. It becomes clear that despite the betrayal of a friend, who was like a brother, despite the fact that he was difficult to take his feelings for Elizabeth, he showed his nobility, he helped Miss Lydia Bennet without any personal gain. He is the ideal of many girls.

Topics and problems

1. Obviously, it affects problem pridewhich becomes a barrier between lovers or close people. She destroys the feelings, makes resist and feel the absolute "ram" from the fact that you stand in a dead end and you do not want to move from a place at least per millimeter. You see only the wall in front of you, but if you strain and look aside, you can see that this wall is easy to get around, it is only worth understanding that pride does not mean when it turns into pride and arrogance focused by prejudice.
2. The problem of social inequality and, as a result, prejudice. Jane Austin has quite successfully changed the name of the book. After all, in essence, it makes you think, who is proud of them, and who is prejudiced. Mr. Darcy took the pride of Elizabeth, saying that she was not so beautiful, and smart to be able to make him a company in dance. Mr. Darcy is just prejudified on Lizzy because of her family and the first impression. It seems to him that the woman who is below him by origin and having such "strange" relatives cannot be next to him. But all this can be turned in the opposite direction. Mr. Darcy is too proud to notice Elizabeth at all and show at least a drop of condescension to her, and Elizabeth is too prejudiced about his behavior in society, because he behaved very arrogant and arrogant. She had a certain opinion on his account, therefore, she was already prejudiced and could not see something more serious and other in it.
3. Again and again the author affects the topic of the influence of other people on the opinion and action of a person. So, Mr. Bingley was seriously affected by Mr. Darcy. He himself, who did not make sure of his own arguments, assured the poor beloved that Jane was not particularly interested in it as in the future his beloved spouse, rather, she simply worries the desire to marry, to quickly satisfy the inquiries of her mother and leave their native home. But at the same time, Jane was a thinner in kind, which thoroughly hid his feelings so as not to seem like a frivolous one.
4. From this one can withdraw another small problem disclosed in this work - character closed problem. Hide your feelings so much that the beloved either a drop does not recognize about reciprocity - it is not always good. But this is the personal matter of everyone. Too individually.
5. Also to some extent affected theme of family and upbringing. Relations between Jane and Lizzy are excellent propaganda for modern society. Friendship between sisters, respectful attitude towards parents, love between parents, Share of humor - all this combination of ideal components that form a strong communication in the family. Although their middle sister Mary was very different in character from the other two, she was loved. The family is multicracter and so good. In addition, children were brought up independently Mrs. Bennet, without governess. For higher society, this is an indicator of the recklessness, but, nevertheless, she coped and raised decent daughters. Although Miss Lydi and did not quite disagree the waiting of the mother. Perhaps indeed because of not enough education, it has grown so frivolous.

Meaning

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe novel is that all our people prejudices do not matter when it comes to love. A man desperately scores the head with these viruses, poisoning any feelings. If you understand all this, then only emotions remain. And this is the most important thing. Mr. Darcy, like Elizabeth Bennet, was entangled in his own pride and prejudices, but, loying them to overcome them, became absolutely happy.

In addition, the writer invested in his heroine volitional traits, showing the ladies of his age example. Elizabeth knows the price, despite the poverty of the family. She is not going to trade by himself at the bride fair, just to get a coacter. She drives the dignity of which she does not forget about for a minute. This woman is free from greed and influence from the side. Posing such a virtuous and independent heroine, the author taught a lesson to his contemporaries, which is not a sin to repeat today, because the mercantile and slave girls are sometimes surrounded by all for the sake of promotion on the social staircase.

Criticism

Jane Austin's novels are always heard. Even at the present time, her books are recognized by the benchmark of English prose around the world. "Pride and Prejudice" takes the second line in the top of the "200 best books according to BBC". In 2013, the 200th anniversary of the work was noted around the world. Even famous editions like The Huffington Post, The New York Times and The Daily Telegraph took part in the celebration.

The first edition of the book was successful among the public and critics. Lord Bairon's wife, Anna Isabella Byron, called this work "fashionable novel." George Henry Lewis, a famous critic and a reviewer, also spoke with a positive criticism of this work.

But, nevertheless, there were those who fully criticized this novel. So, Charlotte Bronte in a letter to Lewis, compared Roman Austin with a cultivated garden with neat borders, delicate flowers, where there is no hill, open area. In other words, the writer did not have enough of something burning and refreshing in work. Charlotte Bronte believed that the novel did not deserve a drop of laudatory feedback and admirations. She reproached Austin in the inability to see the life of his people, what it is. There are some more negative reviews about the work from famous people, but perhaps it is better to have their own opinion about the book. After reading it, you can love or hate this novel, but you must admit that this is a classic in the literature that you need to know and be able to understand.

Jane Austin herself in a letter to his sister said that he was greatly worried that the novel went too "sunny and sparkling," she wanted to make it stricter and more correct.

about the author

There are not many personality and appearance of the writer. Only a portrait of Austin, written by one of her relatives, preserved. According to some information, loved entertainment, but was a very reasonable lady, who wrote a novel "Pride and Prejudice".

The book, the reviews about which is preferentially laudded from both contemporaries and readers of today, that is, two hundred years after the publication, it was rejected by publishers several times. Austin began to write a novel in twenty years. My manuscript did not like the publishers. Jane did not change either the plot nor the main images. She postponed the work on the novel in a long box and only sixteen years later remembered him. By that time, Austin had worked a considerable writing experience and was able to edit the work properly.

The hand of the author's realistic prose was written the final version of the novel "Pride and Prejudice". The book, the reviews of publishers about which were originally negative, after careful improving was published. Although perhaps the whole thing is that the publishing world has changed for an impressive length of time. What has not been of interest in 1798 has become relevant in the second decade of the XIX century.

Style and problematics

Jane Austin created his works in the genre of the novel of the morals, whose founder is considered to consider Samuel Richardson. The Austin book is filled with irony, deep psychologism. The fate of the writer is similar to the fate of the heroine of the novel "Pride and Prejudice". The plot of works directly concerns the lava and prejudices that reigned in English society at the turn of the XVIII-XIX centuries.

The girl from a poor family could hardly hope for personal happiness. Jane Austin, in contrast to his heroine, married never came out. In her youth, she had a novel with a young man, in the family of which also observed financial difficulties. They separated. When Austin turned thirty, she demonstratively put the capes, thereby declaring himself an old virgin.

Plot

What can I say, expecting a summary? "Pride and Prejudice" - a story about girls from a decent English family, who did not marry a long time, but ultimately led to the crown. Bennet's sisters could stay with old devices. After all, there are five daughters in their family, and this is a catastrophe for a poor English nobleman. Of course, no film, and even more retelling, will not replace the reading of the novel "Pride and Prejudice". Quotes from the book presented at the end of the article confirm the presence of the author of a subtle humor and acute observation.

Plan Revet Ochaw

"Pride and Prejudice" - a novel who should read a fully educated person. No wonder the work of Austin is part of the English educational program and the course of the history of world literature, which is held in all European countries future philologists. For those who do not apply for the title of educated personality, a summary is provided.

"Pride and Prejudice" - a book in two parts. In each of them, several chapters. You should draw up a small plan before presenting a summary. "Pride and Prejudice" has a plot that can be divided into parts and entitled as follows:

1. News about the arrival of Mr. Bingley.
2. Darcy and Elizabeth.
3. Mr. Collins.
4. Recognition Darcy.

Message about the arrival of Mr. Bingley

The life of a large, poor aristocratic family - in the center of the plot of the novel "Pride and Prejudice". The main characters are the head of the family Mr. Bennet, his nervous and not distinguished by wisdom and the formation of a spouse, as well as their five daughters.

Sisters Bennet - Maiden on issuing. Each of them has a bright personality. The eldest - Jane is a kind, disinterested girl, according to a generally accepted opinion, is the most beautiful of the daughters of Bennet. Elizabeth is inferior to the older sister in beauty, but not in prudseathy and mind. Lizzy is the main heroine. The love story of this girl to rich and arrogant Darcy is the main storyline of the novel. Other daughters of Benneta - Mary, Catherine, Lydia.

It all begins with the fact that Mrs. Bennet knows good news: the next village arrives at the next village, and most importantly, idle Mr. Bingley, who rented one of the richest local places.

Believing that this person should fall in love with one of the daughters, a woman documeks his spouse to visit a potential son-in-law. Mr. Bingley on his wife's persuasion reacts not without sarcasm. However, the next day, Bingly is making a visit and receives invitations to a pitch evening, which should already be together with his wife and daughters.

It is worth saying that the action of the novel occurs in the province. The news of the arrival of a young aristocrat is distributed with lightning speed.

Mr. Darcy

To even greater excitation, and later, Mrs. Bennet came to disappointment, learning that Bingley was not alone, but in the company of his friend - Mr. Darcy. This young man is also incredibly rich, comes from the ancient aristocratic clan. But, unlike his friend, Darcy is arrogant, pompous, self-love.

Bingli from the first look in love with Jane. Miss Bennet is also not indifferent to this young man. But only Lizzy knows about her feelings. Jane Bennet is a restrained, proud girl, which, however, does not prevent her from having an extremely kind heart. Bingley's relatives aless his attachment to the girl from a dubious family. Sisters deceit seeking his county to London.

Darcy and Elizabeth

Several months, the eldest daughter of Bennet will not see his lover. Later it turns out that the whole thing in the marchs of cunning sisters Bingli. But a special indignation will cause Elizabeth a deed Darcy. After all, it was he who put efforts to break the relationship of a friend with Jane.

Relations between Darcy and Lizzy cannot be called warm. Both are proud. But prejudices and prejudices, which Mr. Darcy is not deprived of, as if they repel Miss Bennet from him. Elizabeth is significantly different from other unmarried maidens. It is independent, formed, has a sharp mind and observation. In the depths of the soul, it is sympathy for Darcy. But his snobbery causes a storm of indignation in it. Their dialogue is a verbal duel, each of whose participants seeks more to hurt an opponent without disturbing the generally accepted standards of etiquette.

Mr. Collins

Once their relative appears in the house of Bennets. Call his Collins. This is a very stupid, limited person. But he knows how to superbly flatter, and therefore achieved a lot: he received a parish in a rich estate of the same lady, which will later be a relative of Darcy. Collins, because of his stupidity, also self-confident. The fact is that in English laws, after the death of Benneta, he must enter the ownership of his estate. After all, there is no heir to the men.

Mr. Collins visits relatives not just like that. He decided to make an offer Elizabeth. It's time to marry, and the best spouse than the daughter of Bennet, he did not find. It is educated, pupil. In addition, it will be grateful to the end of the days. Marriage Lizzy and Collins will save the Bennett family from ruin and poverty. What is the surprise of this self-confident careerist when he gets a refusal! Elizabeth rejects the proposal of Collins, but he soon finds her replacement. Charlotte - Girlfriend Lizzy - accepts his proposal, being a girl practical and judgment.

Recognition Darcy

This hero appears in the plot when Lizzy does not experience anything beyond dislike to Darcy. Wickham is a young, charming man. He has Elizabeth to himself, and later tells a heartbreaking story in which he is a martyr, and Darcy Villain. Miss Bennet willingly believes in the stories of Wickham.

Later, when Darcy suddenly makes an offer, Elizabeth rejects him. But the reason for this failure is not only in the weekem, which allegedly offended the rich aristocrat. The whole thing is pride. And in prejudice. Darcy admits that she is ready to go to Mesallians. But the phrase rushes, which causes lizzy in the soul. "I am ready to grow up with those who are much lower than me in a social plan," says Darcy and receives an immediate refusal.

For the next day, Elizabeth receives a letter. In it, Darcy talks about Wickham, setting out the true story of their quarrel. It turns out that the person who was so located Elizabeth - scoundrel. And the one to whom she experienced dislike, offended her cruelly and unfair.

A few days later, one of the younger sisters, Bennet disappears along with a young officer. They turn out to be the same weekem. The Bennet Family is disgraced.

Junction

Darcy suddenly appears in the eyes of the main heroine completely different person - good, sincere. He saves the family of Bennets from shame, forcing Wickham hardly to marry the girl he was discounted. Then he again invites Lizzy to become his wife, to which she happily agrees. Bingli in the meantime is found with Jane. Two weddings are scheduled for one day. This is the finale of the novel of one of the best writers of the nineteenth century.

Films

The first film design of the novel "Pride and Prejudice" was made in 1940. But the most successful is the film that came out much later.

In 1995, the six-partitioner was released on the screens to the novel Jane Austin. The main roles performed in her Colin Firth and Jennifer El.

Quotes from book

In the work of Austin there is a humor in a truly English style. Thanks to the sophisticated manner of presentation and bright dialogues, the works of this writer are popular around the world. Let us give a few quotes from the novel Jane Austin:

Jane Austen

"Pride and Prejudice"

"Remember, if our sorrow stems from pride and prejudice, then we are also obliged to delight and prejudice from them, for so wonderfully balanced well and evil in the world."

These words and in fact completely reveal the idea of \u200b\u200bthe novel Jane Austin.

The provincial family, which is called, "Middle Hand": Father of the family, Mr. Bennet, - quite noble blood, phlegmatic, is inclined to the Stoically-doomed perception and the surrounding life, and himself; With a special irony, he refers to his own spouse: Mrs. Bennet and, in fact, cannot boast of neither origin, nor mind nor upbringing. It is frankly stupid, blatantly tactless, it is extremely limited and, accordingly, a very high opinion about his own person. Spouses Bennett five daughters: Senior, Jane and Elizabeth, will become the central heroons of the novel.

The action takes place in a typical English province. In the small town of Meriton, that in the county of Hartfordshire, comes a sensational news: one of the richest places in the district of the invalphield park will no longer be empty: a rich young man was rented, "Metropolitan Third" and Aristocrat Mr. Bingli. To all of the above, his advantages added another, most significant, truly invaluable: Mr. Bingley was a single. And the minds of the surrounding Mamek were dimmed and confused by this news for a long time; The mind (more precisely, instinct!) Mrs. Bennet in particular. Joke say - five daughters! However, Mr. Bingley arrives not alone, he was accompanied by sisters, as well as an inseparable friend Mr. Darcy. Bingly is innocent, trusting, is naive, disclosed to communicate, deprived of any snob and ready to love everyone. Darcy is the opposite to him: Gord, arrogant, closed, filled with its own exclusivity, belonging to a selected circle.

Relationships that develop between Bingly - Jane and Darcy - Elizabeth fully comply with their characters. In the first, they are permeated with clarity and immediacy, both are innocent, and trusting (which initially becomes the soil on which a mutual feeling will arise, then the cause of their separation, then reiterate them together). Elizabeth and Darcy, everything will be quite different: attraction-repulsion, mutual sympathy and equally obvious mutual dislike; In a word, the very "pride and prejudice" (both!), What will bring them a lot of suffering and spiritual flour, through which they will be painfully, at the same time never "without retreating from the face" (that is, from themselves), break into each other . Their first meeting will immediately designate mutual interest, more precisely, mutual curiosity. Both are equally outstanding: both Elizabeth differs sharply from the local young lady - the sharpness of the mind, the independence of judgments and estimates and Darcy - upbringing, manners, restrained arrogance, is distinguished among the crowd of officers quartered in the Meriton Regiment, the most that their uniforms and epoles Mystered with Junior Miss Bennet, Lydia and Kitty. However, at first, it was the arrogance of Darcy, his underlined snobbery, when all his behavior in which the cold courtesy for a sensitive ear may not be able to sound almost offensive - it is these properties that cause Elizabeth and dislike, and even outrage. For if both pride inherent in both of them immediately (internally) brings closer, then Darcy's prejudices, its estate arm is capable only to push Elizabeth. Their dialogues - with rare and random meetings on the balas and in the living rooms - it is always a verbal duel. A duel of equal opponents - invariably taking into account, never beyond the fractions of decency and secular conventions.

Mr. Bingley's sisters, quickly seeing arising between their brother and Jane Bennet mutual feeling, do everything to distinguish them from each other. When the danger begins to seem very inevitable them, they simply "take off" him in London. Subsequently, we learn that Darcy played a very significant role in this unexpected flight.

As befits in the "classic" novel, the main storyline is becoming numerous branches. So, at some point in the house of Mr. Bennett, his cousin Mister Collins arises, which, according to English laws about the Maitorate, after the death of Mr. Bennet, who did not have the heirs of the male floor, should enter the ownership of their estate Longborn, as a result of which Mrs. Bennet with daughters May be without a roof above their heads. The letter received from Collins, and then his own appearance indicate how much it is limited, stupid and self-confident this gentleman - precisely as a result of these advantages, as well as one more, very important: the ability to flatter and please, - who managed to receive a comment in the estate Ladies Lady de Bour. Later it turns out that she is a native aunt Darcy - only in her arrogance, unlike a nephew, will not be a glimpse of a living human feeling, not the slightest ability for spiritual impulse. Mr. Collins arrives in Longborn not by chance: having decided that he demanded his San (and Lady de Bour, too), to enter into a lawful marriage, he chose the family of Cousin Benneta, confident that he would not meet the refusal: After all, his marriage on one of Miss Bennet will automatically make a happy chief of the legitimate owner of Longborn. Choosing it falls, of course, on Elizabeth. Her refusal turns him into the deepest amazement: after all, not to mention his personal advantages, this marriage he was going to pay the whole family. However, Mr. Collins comforted very soon: the nearest girlfriend Elizabeth, Charlotte Lucas, turns out to be more practical in all respects and, judging all the advantages of this marriage, gives Mr. Collins his consent. Meanwhile, another person arises in Meriton, a young officer quartered in the city of Wickham. Having appeared on one of the balls, it produces a fairly strong impression on Elizabeth: charming, warning, with a slightly able to like even such an outstanding young lady as Miss Bennet. Special confidence Elizabeth penetrates him after he understands that he is familiar with Darcy - arrogant, unbearable Darcy! - And not just familiar, but, according to the stories of Wickham himself, is the victim of his dishonest. A halo of a martyr who suffered the fault of a person who causing such dislike, makes the weekem in her eyes even more attractive.

After some time, after a sudden departure of Mr. Bingley with Söstrasi and Darcy, Miss Bennets themselves go to London - to swim in the house of their uncle Mr. Gardiner and his wife, ladies, to which both nieces are experiencing sincere spiritual affection. And from London Elizabeth, already without sister, goes to his girlfriend Charlotte, that very thing that became the wife of Mr. Collins. In the house of Lady de Bour Elizabeth again faces Darcy. Their conversations at the table, in humans, re-resemble a verbal duel - and again Elizabeth turns out to be a worthy opponent. And if you consider that the action is still happening at the turn of the XVIII - XIX centuries, then such keenness from the mouth of a young person - on the one side of the lady, on the other - the idleness may seem like a real freeness: "You wanted to confuse me, Mr. Darcy ... but I Nothing I am not afraid of you ... Stubbornness does not allow me to show the farewell when they want others. When I try to eat me, I get even more sucking. " But one day, when Elizabeth sits in the living room alone, Darcy unexpectedly arises on the threshold; "My whole struggle was vain! Nothing comes out. I can not cope with my feeling. Know what I am infinitely fascinated and what I love you! " But Elizabeth rejects his love with the same determination, with which once rejected Mr. Collins. At the request of Darcy to explain and her refusal, and dislike him, so she is undisguised, Elizabeth speaks of the happiness of Jane, about Wickham offended by him. Again - Duel, again - Spit on a stone. For, even making an offer, Darcy cannot (and does not want!) Hide that, making it, he still always remembers that, entered into marriage with Elizabeth, thereby inevitably "will come into relations with those who are so Below it is on the public stairs.
