IntroductionJane Aust

17、en is a English writer who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life. Her best-known books include Pride and Prejudice(1813) and Emma(1816). Virginia Woolf called Austen the most perfect artist among women.In the late 18th century to the early 19th century, Eng

18、lish literature is full of the sentimental novel and the Gothic novel, while Austins novel show the daily lives of the British rural middle class and rural scenery which is uninfluenced by Capitalist Industrial Revolution in an unconventional way. Her work often mocks peoples contemptible and ridicu

19、lous weakness such as stupid, selfish, snobbish and blind self-confidence through comedy scene. As Jane Austens masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice vividly reflects Britain township life and the state of the world favor conservative and occlusion state in the end of the 18th century to the 19th century

20、, and draw attentions from scholars globally. Both of the content or the roles are very attractive. In Jane Austens private letters, there are a large number of detailed descriptions about dress, but in Pride and Prejudice dress description is rare, the obvious characteristic gives readers a kind of

21、 feeling that Jane Austen made it on purpose. Therefore, if read carefully you will find that in this novel a small amount of clothing description secretly provides a lot of detailed information. Different characters different attitude towards dress also reflects the unique features of the role. The

22、 typical red uniform and white petticoats reflect the characteristics of that time, and the unique description tactics draw readers attention. This thesis is divided into four parts.The first part gives an introduction to the thesis. The second part displays research work made on aboard and domestic

23、. The third part analyses reflections of clothing in Pride and Prejudice, including reflections of the personalities, the social view towards men and women in that period and the author herself character. The fourth part draws a conclusion the limited words about the clothing description greatly enr

24、ich the images of roles, and play an significant role in the novel.2. Literature reviewJane Austins masterpiece Pride and Prejudice is listed as the worlds top ten of the classic novels by Maugham who is a famous British novelist and playwright. I believe that the general reader has already decided

25、that Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece of Austin, I think their evaluation is very relevant. Make a work become classics, not the appreciation of the critics praise, studies of the professors or used as a school textbook, but to make a generation of many readers in reading this work to get the ha

26、ppiness of the enlightenment, deeply by educational. Personally, I think Pride and Prejudice overall is all the most satisfying work in the novel.(W. S. Maugham, 1874-1965), Pride and Prejudice is not only the British wonder in the recorded history, but also the collection of world library. Most peo

27、ple study Pride and Prejudice in the direction of marriage and feminism, such as The matrimonial value orientation in Pride and Prejudice (王欣，2006 ), and On marriage standard in Pride and Prejudice(贺小华，2010 ). Those articles study Jane Austins view of marriage and feminism from the content of the no

28、vel. However, in this article , the author studies the characters,social environment and the author herself character from the clothing description which can be seen as an innovate angle to study this novel. In this paper, the study of clothing in Pride and Prejudice is a new research direction.3. R

29、eflections of clothing in Pride and PrejudiceClothing description in Pride and Prejudice is rare, but a few descriptions contain a lot of information and play an important role in the text. Clothing description has significant effects in the novel Pride and Prejudice, it not only reflects the charac

30、ters of figures, the British social status of men and women at that time,but also reflects the authors attitude towards clothing.3.1 Reflections of the personality traitsFrom the plots of the novel, Elizabeths sister Lydias pursuit of luxuriant dress gives readers a image with vanity, Miss Bingleys

31、laugh at Elizabeth with the muddy petticoats shows a female image of prejudice, and the heroine Elizabeths attitude towards the petticoat shapes an independent lady with self-esteem to us. These different attitudes all display these womens characters. These dress description makes female images plum

I do not think it is very pretty; but I thought I might as well b

34、uy it as not. I shall pull it to pieces as soon as I get home, and see if I can make it up any better. Austen, 1983 And when her sisters abused it ugly, she added, with perfect unconcern, Oh! But there were two or three much uglier in the shop; and when I have bought some prettier-coloured satin to

35、trim it with fresh, I think it will be very tolerable. Besides, it will not much signify what one wears this summer, after the -shire have left Meryton, and they are going in a fortnight.“I am glad I bought my bonnet, if it is only for the fun of having another bandbox!”Austen, 1983Lydia is crazy ab

36、out the officers red uniforms, and when she wants to go to Brighton for travel, red uniform appears in her sexual fantasy. The original description:In Lydias imagination, a visit to Brighton comprised every possibility of earthly happiness. She saw, with the creative eye of fancy, the streets of tha

37、t gay bathing-place covered with officers. She saw herself the object of attention, to tens and to scores of them at present unknown. She saw all the glories of the camp-its tents stretched forth in beauteous uniformity of lines, crowded with the young and the gay, and dazzling with scarlet; and, to

38、 complete the view, she saw herself seated beneath a tent, tenderly flirting with at least six officers at once. Austen, 1983When run away with Wickham, Lydia didnt realized that she had made a serious mistake, she still talked a lot about dance and clothes in the letter she left: I shall send for m

39、y clothes when I get to Longbourn; but I wish you would tell Sally to mend a great slit in my worked muslin gown before they are packed up. Austen, 1983 but she didnt know that at this time Wickham havent planed to marry her, and a chastity-lost woman is hard to return to her home. Lydia is a self-c

40、entered woman, an impulsive woman. She is fascinated with reckless acts, even spending out all the money in a hat which is unsuitable to her. She did not know how to control her desire, and chased the officers red uniform as chasing one kind of fashion. Lydia submerged by desire fantasy and treated

41、elope as a trifling matter, all these acts shows her lack of sense, and the uncontrollable lust. She couldnt restrain the desire to talk about clothes, and always talk on improper occasion, exposing her lack of education and sense of shame.3.1.2 Miss Bingleys ridicule towards Elizabeth pride and pre

42、judiceAs a member of upper society, Miss Bingley was born in a rich family. She has extremely high requirements of outlook. To her, dress not only stands for appearance, but also the performance of the personal accomplishment. In the novel, Elizabeths visiting to her sister in the rain makes her clo

43、thes dirty, and the blotted petticoat caused Miss Bingleys strong reaction, “Miss Bingley began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room. Her manners were pronounced to be very bad indeed, a mixture of pride and impertinence; she had no conversation, no style, no beauty.” Yes, and her petticoa

44、t; I hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep in mud, I am absolutely certain; and the gown which had been let down to hide it not doing its office. “It seems to me to show an abominable sort of conceited independence, a most country-town indifference to decorum.” Austen, 1983The irony of the wor

45、ds directly reflects her discontent to the so-called the lower strata as Elizabeth, reflects Miss Bingleys pride, conceit, and prejudice to the lower strata. This article has few words with direct description of the evaluation of dress in the part of Miss Bingley, the special examples play an import

46、ant role in molding Miss Bingleys image, and embody the different values of different classes .To Miss Bingley, it is very rude to have silt in the petticoat, and have silt in the petticoat is a kind of disrespect to others, this is happened in no circumstances in upper society. Elizabeth s behavior

47、 causes Miss Bingleys antipathy and taunt, which is regarded as acceptable by people of upper class in that time . This petticoat event also deepened Miss Bingleys prejudice to the lower strata.3.1.3 Elizabeths attitude towards blotted petticoat self-respect To visit her sick sister who lodges in ot
