I used to regard Jane Austen as a romantic novelist who is good at portraying unrealistic love stories, like some online writers. Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are one of the great romantic couples. For a long time, I regard them as my dreamy couple. While in those short passages, Jane Austen is gradually unveiled as an ambitious and stern moralist, struggling to reform humanity with her weapon -novel.
Jane Austen was not dull or strict as I have thought. She actually was neat, elegant and lively for being in high social status. She loved dancing and being dressed fashionably. It's no wonder we can see so many parties and in-style dresses in her novels.
In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen focuses on the growth on both sides.
The person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they have got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder - and we need to do something similar for them.
We are taught to become better and then wait for another soulmate. Educating with each other is unavoidable in marriage, especially in wonderful marriage.
