《傲慢与偏见》中的人物形象塑造——达西

摘要

在男女主角的情感纠缠与婚姻结合中，作家简·奥斯汀擅长于描写她对于人物的理解和塑造，并在随着情节的发展着力塑造书中主要人物形象。小说《傲慢与偏见》中，伊丽莎白与达西的完美结合成为引领读者探究达西行为改变以及他真性情的一条主线。

Pride可以代表一个人的自尊和尊严。Pride也可以被理解为一个人的过度自负。达西的pride符合了后者的解释。他有资本去傲慢，但最后，他意识到自己的缺点，并努力克服自己的傲慢太多，学会尊重他人，承担自己的责任。达西思想和行为的改变是他自我成就过程的最好例证。作者设计了多变的情节来描绘达西的性格和个性。

傲慢是达西最明显的性格特征。他的傲慢导致了偏见、误解和争论的产生；他的转变又带来了真诚、尊重和幸福。达西对伊丽莎白一系列太多改变就是奥斯汀人物塑造的过程。达西的转变以及他周围事物的变化都暗含了达西的性格特征。

达西选择了拜托自己的傲慢与偏见，并且提升自我。他很勇敢，也很坚决。即使小说已出版近200年，作者仍旧为我们设计了一个学习的榜样。从达西的错误和他成功的婚姻中，现代社会的人们应该吸取教训，并认真思考这部经典小说中的启示意义。尽管中国早已不在封建官僚的控制之下，人们仍然醉心于钱和权，甚至年轻的一代人也已深受父母和大众媒体的负面影响。此外，随着经济的发展，不同发展程度的城市间也产生并存在着城市偏见。读者应该向小说人物学习，为建设一个更美好世界的献计献策。

根据小说情节的发展，参考奥斯汀时代的财产和婚姻的社会背景，本文主要分析了作

者人物塑造的过程。本文非常注重小说的社会现实意义分析。希望本文可以帮助读者更深刻地思考人类美好的品德，对当今社会提出一些建议。
