Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre are the two realistic novels in English and world literature history. The two realistic writers both reflect the marriage view of women in 19th century. Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice and Jane in Jane Eyre leave deep impressions on the readers mind. Their marriage views are also the reflections of the authors marriage views. Though almost in the same time, there are also some differences in their marriage view. For example, Elizabeth emphasizes more on the financial state, while Jane is more rebellious.This thesis will analyze the different marriage views in the two novels and explore the roots of the differences from different respects. Austin and Charlottes different life experiences have a different impact on their work. At the time Austin lives, women, without social status or financial foundations, forced them to play a passive role in the marriage. In Austins eyes, the marriage is also the Cinderella-style marriage. Pride and Prejudice also reflects Austens own marriage view: love is a prerequisite for a happy marriage; marriage must be based on solid economic foundation. In the time Charlotte lives, the brutal social reality wake up the women to fight for equal rights with men. Charlotte has created a women image struggling for equal rights and equal economic and social status. Charlotte thinks that marriage is built on the basis of love the two should love and understand each other, achieve the equality in status.Key words: marriage values; compare; Pride and Prejudice; Jane Eyre ContentsAcknowledgements.4Abstract.Chapter1 Introduction.41.1 Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice .41.2 Charlotte Bront and Jane Eyre .61.3 Significance of the research .91.4 Organization of the paper.10Chapter 2 Literature Review.112.1 Themes of Jane Austins works and writing style.112.2 Themes of Charlotte Bronts works and writing style.132.3 Realism and Feminism.13Chapter 3 Comparison of the Two kinds of Marriage Values in the Two Works .283.1 Marriage values in Pride and Prejudice .153.1.1 Marriage for wealth.153.1.2 Marriage for beauty.153.1.3 Marriage for love.183.2 Marriage values in Jane Eyre.223.3 Similarities of the marriage values in the two works .283.4 Differences of the marriage values in the two works.
