Watching the film makes me to think much more about marriage. In my opinion, the happiest marriage is a combination of love and money, but true love is still the most important. The marriage of Darcy and Elizabeth is a good example. After undergoing many setbacks, Darcy’s pride and Elizabeth’s prejudice eventually eliminates, the lovers finally get married.
    Elizabeth is the Bennets’ second daughter, an active, intelligent and distinct girl. She has a middle-class family background and has not been affected by the formal education belonging to those aristocratic young girls, so she isn’t good at music and painting, but she has read many books which make her knowledgeable and perceptive. The most important aspect is that she is a lady with dignity and upbringing. Elizabeth is the ideal image for women as well as the most charismatic person in the film.

    Darcy is a man with tall figure and good manner. He is handsome, rich and powerful. So he is the ideal husband of most girls. But he has grown up in the surroundings with strong sense of power, so he is always selfish and pride and he has a critical look at each individual. So he looks down upon anyone else, except his filmily members. But something has changed when Darcy meets Elizabeth. After Elizabeth’s refuse to get married with him, he begins to be aware of his own short-comings. He accepts Elizabeth’s criticism, and faithfully corrects the short comings and mistakes. He is no longer pride and has a real love with Elizabeth.

    In the film, when they first meet each other in the ball, I can tell something special in their eyes, and then I guess there will be a story between them. In fact, they are attracted by each other at the first sight but even they don’t know it themselves. At first, Darcy doesn’t put an eye on Elizabeth. Darcy says that Elizabeth is beautiful, but not enough to attract him. Compared with his friend, Mr. Bingley, he looks cool, unfriendly and lack of enthusiastic. This makes others to think him as a pride man, so it is with Elizabeth. She begins to have prejudice on him.

    When Elizabeth meets the handsome officer, Mr. Wickham, Wickham says something bad of Mr. Darcy. What he says makes Elizabeth deeply believe that Darcy is not a good person, pride and selfish. What’s worse, Darcy advises Bingley that Jane is not fit for him. And doing so, makes Jane feel very sad. All these things are the reasons why Elizabeth misunderstands Darcy. So when Mr. Darcy can’t help showing his love to her, she refused him with sharp tongue. “You are the last person I’ll marry!”

Maybe it is fate; later Elizabeth meets Darcy when she is visiting Darcy’s house which he hardly comes back. What she hears and what she sees show that Darcy is a kind person, not the pride man used to be in her mind. When she knows that Darcy helps Lydia to get married with Wickham, she changes her attitude to Mr. Darcy eventually. After undergoing many setbacks, the lovers finally get married. We can guess that they will live a happy life.

    So it is with Jane and Bingley. They love each other at the first sight, but they are multi-blocked, after their departure, they miss each other very much. At last, Bingley lays down his social status and to pursue his true love. Jane is the happiest girl in the world at the moment Bingley asks down his social status and to pursue his true love. Jane is the happiest girl in the world at the moment Bingley asks her to get married with him.

    Besides these two perfectly satisfactory marriages, the film tells us another two marriages, charlotte and Collin, Lydia and Wickham. They both go to the extremes. Charlotte gets Married with money, while Lydia get married with impulses.

   Charlotte was born of humble parentage and very mediocre in every aspect. She is typical questionable girl. In her attitude to marriage, what she needs is a stable life that she would not be exposed to the cold temperatures and suffers hunger in the future. So she gets married with Collin, a rich priest. Such marriage without love is too practical, so it is a kind of superficial marriage with happiness.

   Lydia is an impulsive, credulous, narrow-minded girl. So she is easily taken in by Mr. Mickham’s sweat words and honeyed phrases. Wickham comes down in the world because of misbehavior and gets into debt. And he believes that marriage is also a way to approach the fortune. Lydia is just his tool to gain money. Such couple only seek having had experience but not everlasting and unchanging. It is doomed to be a tragedy.

    Such marriages will never be happy. However, how can we fall in love with the right person and harvest a happy marriage? In my opinion, both money and love is important. Money is the basement. Since we are ordinary people, we need to eat, to dress, to live and so on. Money is the basement of marriage; however, it doesn’t mean that we must get married with rich persons but persons who can at least give you a security of life.    However, the most important aspect for a marriage is true love. The marriage without love would eventually move toward disappointment and suffering. True love can sweep away all the setbacks on the way of marriage. Read love makes Elizabeth give up her prejudice and accept Darcy again. And real love makes Darcy change the attitude of being arrogant and wins Elizabeth’s heart and love. After undergoing so many setbacks, they finally walk together. This is the power of love. Loves can really create miracles。
