篇二：Emma英文读后感
Introduction of the Author
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose
works of romantic fiction set among the gentry have
earned her a place as one of the most widely read
and most beloved writers in English literature.
Amongst scholars and critics, Austen's realism and
biting social commentary have cemented her
historical importance as a writer.
Austen lived her entire life as part of a close-knit
family located on the lower fringes of the English
gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and
older brothers as well as through her own reading. From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began a third, which was eventually titled Sanditon, but died before completing it. During Austen's lifetime her works brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews. Through the mid-nineteenth century, her novels were admired mainly by members of the literary elite. By the 1940s, Austen had become widely accepted in academia as a "great English writer".
Summary
Emma Woodhouse is a twenty-year-old girl living in Highbury who considers herself gifted in conjuring love matches. She determines to find an eligible match for her new friend, Harriet Smith whose parentage is unknown. Emma first sets Harriet’s sights on Mr. Elton, the village vicar. Meanwhile, she persuades Harriet to reject the proposal of Robert Martin, a well-to-do farmer for whom Harriet clearly has feelings.
However, Elton makes it clear that his affection is for her, not Harriet. Mr. Knightley, Emma’s brother-in-law and intimate friend, watches Emma’s matchmaking and believes Mr. Martin is fit for Harriet to marry. Then Mr. Weston’s son, Frank Churchill, adopted by his uncle and aunt in London, arrives in Highbury. Emma soon notices his charms are directed towards her. There is another beautiful girl named Jane Fairfax. Emma dislikes her because of her reserve. Everyone assumes that Frank and Emma are forming an attachment, though Emma actually imagines him as a match for Harriet. When Harriet tells Emma she has fallen in love with a man above her social station, Emma believes she means Frank. Nonetheless, news comes that Frank and Jane have been secretly engaged. Emma worries about Harriet, but she soon discovers it is Knightley, not Frank, who is the object of Harriet’s affection. Emma feels upset by Harriet’s revelation, and her distress forces her to realize she is in love with Knightley. Delightfully, Knightley declares his love for Emma. Harriet is soon comforted by a second proposal from Martin, which she accepts. The novel ends with the marriage of Harriet and Mr. Martin and that of Emma and Mr. Knightley.

Various reasons of people get marriage
—The View of Marriages Revealed in Jane Austen’s Emma Abstract: Jane Austen is one of the most famous realist British writers in the 19th century. Emma is one of the most influential novels of hers. Her works mainly focus on marriage and life of the gentlemen and ladies of the bourgeoisie, truly depicting the small world around her with peculiar meticulous observation of the female and lively and humorous words. First of all, this thesis mainly analyze the four marriages in the novel with the time order of they get married and the utilitarianism marriage, equal marriage and romanticism marriage revealed by the four marriages. Then this article will summarize Jane Austen’s viewpoint about love and marriage of patriarchy society at that time.
Key words: love; marriage
Introduction
Protagonist Emma Woodhouse, a beautiful, intelligent, and “slightly” spoiled young woman of twenty, is also a visionary. She focuses on the romantic story around her eagerly, but stubbornly thinks she would never be involved. Due to contributing to his and her marriage by accident, Emma becomes very keen to be a matchmaker for the single person. So she arranges so-called suitable marriage for the orphan girl Harriet Smith time after time. After going through a series of things about other two couples, when Miss. Simth mistakenly thinks she fell in love with Mr. Knightley, Emma was surprised to realize at the end that she loves Mr. Knightley for a long time. This goes against the oath of remaining unmarried all her life, but she has to give up her naive pledge for love. Philip Elton & Augusta Elton
Philip Elton is a good-looking, initially well-mannered, and ambitious young priest, 27 years old and unmarried in the story. Emma treats him as a suitor to marry Harriet and makes great efforts to contribute to their marriage. In Emma's abduction and encouragement, Miss. Smith refuses the farmer Martin's proposal and gradually falls in love with Mr. Elton, who has great difference in social status with her. However Mr. Elton aspires to secure Emma's hand in marriage to gain her giant dowry." There will be some who can overlook the circumstance of her birth, "but he thinks he doesn't have to "stoop to her level". Mr. Elton displays his mercenary nature by quickly marrying another woman – Augusta Elton after Emma's rejection. Mrs. Elton is a pretentious, nouveau-riche wife. She has her 10,000 pounds, but lacks good manners, at best, using people's names too intimately as one example (Jane, not Miss. Fairfax, Knightly, not Mr. Knightley). And she is a boasting, pretentious woman who expects her due as a new bride in the village. The marriage between Mr. Elton and Mrs. Elton is a good example of Utilitarianism Marriage. In this marriage, he gets what he wants which is to improve his social status through marriage. And in Elton’s eyes, money and social status are the preconditions of marriage, not love. More specifically, utilitarianism marriage is a view of marriage that people getting married just for some interests, such as economic interests, social interests, political interests and so on, but there is no love in such marriage. People take marriage as the way of ensuring and improving the economic and social status and living better like Mr. Elton. In some ways, marriage is not only conditioned but also purposive to some people for those people who chose utilitarianism marriage.
Frank Churchill & Jane Fairfax
Frank Churchill, Mr. Weston's son by his first marriage, is an amiable young man who manages to
be liked by everyone. Frank Churchill has been given to his deceased wife's relatives to bring up -- his wealthy aunt and uncle raise him at the family estate Enscombe. Frank enjoys dancing and music and living life to the fullest, but he is not above a secret engagement when he fears his aunt will forbid it. He manipulates and plays games with the other characters to ensure his engagement to Jane remains concealed and he takes advantage of Emma deliberately. Why Frank pretends to admire Emma is to disguise his clandestine relationship with Jane. But Emma has no idea about the real truth until his aunt dies-- Frank and Jane Fairfax, an orphaned, reserved but beautiful and elegant niece of Emma's impoverished neighbor, have been secretly engaged for almost a year. While Emma tries to make herself fall in love with Frank largely because everyone says they perfect match for each other, the two young people have met in Weymouth when they studied there and fallen in love with each other from then. The marriage of Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax is the typical example of romanticism marriage. In their eyes, marriage can also be not conditioned and purposive. It can only for love, for romantic. To simply state, romanticism marriage emphasizes the importance of individual feeling and love, but less in the material constraint when they were choosing their partners. Frank does not care about Jane’s an orphaned with no social status and great heritage, even her poor family. He is attracted by her beauty, nice manners and exceptionally talented at singing and playing the piano. He emphasizes his individual feeling and persists his true love.
Harriet Smith & Robert Martin
Harriet Smith, a young friend of Emma, just seventeen when the story opens, is a pretty but unsophisticated girl. She has been educated at a nearby school, where she met the sisters of Mr. Martin. Harriet Smith was interested in Mr. Martin. But Emma takes Harriet under her wing early on, and she becomes the subject of Emma's misguided matchmaking attempts. In Emma’s eye, “remarkably plain” and “so very clownish” Mr. Martin is unworthy of her friend Harriet Smith. And she bitterly alleges” he will be a totally gross, vulgar, inattentive farmer who thinks of nothing but p(本文来自：www.dXF5.com 东 星资 源 网:英语论文写作艾玛)rofit and loss.” On the contrary, Mr. Knightley holds totally different idea that the orphan girl is so suitable for the “respectable, intelligent farmer”. Emma doesn’t break up this couple totally. Harriet Smith is revealed in the last chapter to be the natural daughter of a decent businessman, although not a "gentleman". Harriet Smith and Mr. Martin are wed. The now wiser Emma approves of the match. The marriage of this little couple is still an example of equal marriage -- Harriet Smith thinks the farmer Martin is her choice, because of the same class and social status they are, and there is love between them.
Emma Woodhouse & George Knightley
The marriage between Emma Woodhouse and George Knightley is a typical example of equal marriage. Emma Woodhouse, a young privileged woman, is “handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence.” After going through a series of things, she realizes the true feelings about herself only in hindsight – she falls in love with George Knightley, a neighbor and close friend of Emma, is a man of thoughtful manners, aware of how others react to words and events. He is her only critic and the person who is most considerate and caring to Emma. And she also has accustomed to his company all the time. Equal Marriage means marriage should have proper family background, similar social class and prestige. Only when the couples come from the similar family, with the same education and the same social status can they have happy life to a great extent. Emotionally, marriage being well-matched in social and economic status is a feudal concept and it may be heard ridiculous, but it is a prevailing custom in that time. But to be honest, there is nothing to worry about in this couple due to they are so suitable for each other, whether family background or true emotion. Though their
point of view about marriage is influenced by patriarchy a bit, they still believe marriage cannot be without love and they wouldn’t like to live for years in a loveless marriage.
Conclusion
In the novel Emma, Jane Austen delivers her sarcasm towards peoples’ viewpoint on marriage that took wealth and high social states as the only factors on marriage, ignoring love. She expresses that marriage should be on the basis of love but at the same time should take wealth and equal social status into account. According to this novel, we can arrive at the same conclusion about Jane Austen’s favorite type of marriage -- Emma woodhouse, rich girl and young gentleman Mr. Knightley from start of tit-for-tat concept, to the mutual understanding, later marriage, which reflects the author's view of marriage. Marriage without love is incorrect, only love marriage is not enough at all. In the patriarchy society, Jane Austen still sticks to established facts that perfect marriage not only from the material basis for the equality including social status, family background, economic foundation, personal accomplishment, more significant point is the internal combination, inner communication, view of collision and the wearing-in, consistent value, which all are the guarantee of a happy marriage.
