Jane Austen is an English famous writer. Her compositions focus on country females marriage and their life. She describes her apperceive to the world with her own special perspective and humor words. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote this novel, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The main idea is: Mr. Bennet has five daughters. With the daughters grow older, finding husbands for their daughters become Mrs. Bennets priority thing. Their family belongs to middle class. Mrs. Bennet is a very vulgar and power person. Their neighbor Charles Bingley is a single man who possesses lots of property. And Mrs. Bennet urges her husband to visit Bingley.

But the British socials influence spread the whole country. For example, peoples views about snobbishness, vanity and ideas on marriage. The condition of marriage is the man should have a good social position and the woman should have good dowry. So their combination is happy to their family. Everything is based on money and social position during that time. In my opinion, it looks like marriage is a combination of money. But marital relationship is based on respect and affection but not money. The author opposes marry for money and emphasizes importance of marriage. Austen uses irony art permeates the whole novel and throughout the development of plot. On the other hand, the language description and the figures psychological activity are very picturesque. “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” The author uses humorous satire exaggerating technique, reflects Mrs. Bennets false and deceit. In one word, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. In this novel, the whole structure is very precise, the figures characteristic are distinct and full of their own features. It shows this novels unique charming. On the other hand, it reflects the authors artistic and ideological content. So it is worth reading.
