The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.

　　The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.

　　在农村家庭是简奥斯汀先生最喜欢的话题。但是，这个小问题都可以反映大的问题。它总结了地层情况和英国的经济关系，她的世纪。你可以找到从一开始这本书。

　　在这本书的第一句话让人印象深刻。它写道：“这是众所周知的，在世界上的一大笔财富占有未婚男子必须在妻子需要一个真相“。该底色是非常明确的：当时的婚姻的基础是感情，但不占有。

　　People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.

　　I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.更多热门文章：
