: Pride and Prejudice reflects the value orientation of British society towards marriage by depicting several different views of love through four love stories. The heroine Elizabeth's view of love is a microcosm of the author Austen's view of love. Against the late 18th and early 19th century powerful feudal force in British countryside, the representation of the possibility of pursuing an ideal marriage and the awakening of female consciousness in the novel are undoubtedly a clear stream in that society.
