Seeking for Mr.Darcy----Pride and Prejudice 英文版影评

“Pride and Prejudice”, the masterpiece of Jane Austin, is always my favorite literature work what I have read and watched. It is a light comedy about the love and relationship between the Bennet’s who are at a low class and Mr. Bingley, Mr. Darcy on behalf of upper class. As is seen in the book’s name, this story centers with the theme, pride and prejudice between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy the two main characters.
If I could maintain my persistence to chase after perfectionism, I would like to use up all of my affection to love this one person without any reservation. In fact, he deserves almost anyone’s love if one treasures beauty. I love Darcy, for his good look and noble behavior as a gentleman; I love Darcy, for his good ability to stand out in that aristocratic society, for his fortune, for his good reputation and social status; however, I love Darcy, mostly for his sincerest attitude and values and actual dos for Elizabeth, and this will be the rarest quality which could still exist among those who meet the good conditions I said above. I would not deny that I won’t like a person as much as I do now towards Darcy without meeting those first three conditions, but I would not even like him a little without the last thing---a fine character. Certainly, his character is far more than fine: he push himself to behave closest to perfection as much as he could. In a consequence he might transfer rigorous preference to others. Here pride comes naturally and unfortunately prejudice might come afterwards. However, “Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what others think of us.” This quote from Pride and Prejudice and Zombies reveals a significant why there is so much prejudice in eyes of Elizabeth. Jane Austin centers in pride and prejudice the critical theme, brilliantly interpreting to us what is true love.
From my point of view, true love is no more than observing who the person is and intuitively love who he is. Elizabeth finds his true love. I bet many girls must be jealous of her for being such a wonderful man’s lifelong companion. Me, too. However, I should not conceal my respect and recognition to Elizabeth for she is definitely a great woman. As both her sister Jane and she are respectful ladies, I prefer Elizabeth more. Elizabeth is more special. More specifically, she has a rarer character. In my view, a decent man will look at three main things to select a right companion: first, the appearance or good look. This is natural and common because of almost all men’s nature--- nature of lechery and vanity. Men tend to affect a beautiful woman just like we prefer handsome men. Second, a woman’s quality and capability. But these are not the dominant criteria. The most critical one, I have to say, is all about character. Why Darcy loves Elizabeth? How can a best noble man falls in deep love with a woman with almost no matching conditions with him? It is Elizabeth’s inner beauty! She is the most beautiful in his eyes because her personalities and her values and philosophy are so different from anybody else and they attract him incurably. One more thing, Elizabeth is good at expressing herself and she is firmly true to herself. When one truly knows about oneself, he then will hold on his ground and he will finally stand out from the crowd. Perhaps this is where character lies in from the lesson of Elizabeth.
Some people might negatively complain that there no actual Mr. Darcy in real life. He is too perfect that almost nobody can be as good as him. Indeed, Mr. Darcy is a fictional person, and perhaps Mr. Darcy is only a fantasy who would not come to us ordinary girls. But I strongly believe that Mr. Darcy indeed exist as long as I keep seeking and never stop growing. I know I will never be an Elizabeth but I will spare every effort to be my best self. Perhaps I will never meet him. But who knows.
