In the movie Pride and Prejudice, on what foundation are the marriage based between Jane and Bingley, Elizabeth and Darcy，Lydia and Wickham, Charlotte and Collins? What are the most important elements in love and marriage, in your opinion? Wandering between Reality and Ideal—Marriages in Pride and Prejudice Pride and prejudice is my favorite novel of all time. When I was young, I liked this book just as it tells the story of a simple but beautiful love. But with the growth of age, I learned more from Pride and prejudice after I know that Jane Austens own love story. In this movie, Jane Austen, the author of Pride and prejudice, presented several single ladies: Jane, Elizabeth and Lydia from the Bennets, Charotte from the Lucas and also some others. At the end of the story, these four young ladies finally all got married. I think the key of the article depends on the different between their marriages. We could also say that they married into different lives. I beg that no one would not like the beautiful love between Elizabeth and Darcy. It’s perfect as a love template. I really like both of them and their love, but I think it is not the only thing Jane Austen wants to tell us, she can not only to praise the beautiful love. Here I would like to give my own point of views particularly on Charottes marriages. Charotte is Elizabeths most intimate friend. At first, I didn’t have deep impression on her neither the movie nor the book. The moment Elizabeth hear the news that Charlotte have accepted Mr.Collins proposal, she is astonished. However, Charlotte says to her：“I am not romantic, you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr.Collinss character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as far as most people can boast on entering the marriage state. At that time, she is twenty-seven years old. That moment Charotte really get into my sight.
