Level 3: Pride and Prejudice (book+CD) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

Next to the exhortation at the beginning of Moby-Dick, "Call me

Ishmael," the first sentence of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

must be among the most quoted in literature. And certainly what

Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage--tracing the

intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British

mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual,

Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few

families--in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases.

Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune,

and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who

married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to

marry off at least one of her five daughters. Bingley is

complaisant and easily charmed by the eldest Bennet girl, Jane;

Darcy, however, is harder to please. Put off by Mrs. Bennet's

vulgarity and the untoward behavior of the three younger daughters,

he is unable to see the true worth of the older girls, Jane and

Elizabeth. His excessive pride offends Lizzy, who is more than

willing to believe the worst that other people have to say of him;

when George Wickham, a soldier stationed in the village, does

indeed have a discreditable tale to tell, his words fall on fertile

ground.
