凯瑟琳可能是这里唯一一个不是个女权主义者的奥斯丁。就像艾黎的罗莎琳德一样，凯瑟琳无法维护自己，也无法解决周围的问题，这决定了她不是一个女权主义者。尽管她流露出了积极女性角色成长的某些方面，但这并不是女权主义者的严格定义。凯瑟琳的冷漠和天真使她无法承担女权主义的角色;她并没有在社会的任何方面表达她的懊恼，尽管她确实超越了冷酷的上层阶级的生活。与伊丽莎白和埃丽诺不同的是，她在生活中没有遇到更粗暴的角色。她对亨利和埃莉诺·蒂尔尼的偏爱更多的是反映了她自己的欲望和偏好，从而超越了财富和社会阶层的动力;它不是一种道德选择，也不是作为一种价值陈述的良心行为。另一方面，伊丽莎白是典型的女权主义者。她有敏锐的智慧，毫不犹豫地让她的声音被听到。她和达西的婚姻是她自己的决定之一，是在一段很长的时间和她自己的意志之后做出的。与她母亲不同的是，她代表了女性社会中根深蒂固的男性统治地位，她认为自己的自由是一种女性的自由，无论是在思想上还是在个人上。奥斯丁对伊丽莎白和达西的描写(在小说结尾的时候，也揭示了)提高了伊丽莎白的女权主义性格，在她的成熟和成长过程中，她与达西的关系是平等的。伊丽莎白和达西都克服了他们的“傲慢与偏见”，表明虽然他们是非凡的人，但他们都是容易犯错的，有时也会受到批评。
美国俄勒冈论文代写:凯瑟琳
Catherine is perhaps the only Austen character here examined who is not a feminist. As with Rosalind of AYLI, Catherine’s inability to assert herself or address the issues surrounding her determines her not to be a feminist. While she exudes certain aspects of positive female character growth, it is not, by the strictest definition feminist. Catherine’s indifference and naïveté prevent her from assuming the feminist role; she does not go out of her way to express her chagrin at any aspect of society, though she does transcend the limits of callous upper class living. Unlike Elizabeth and Elinor, she fails to confront the more abrasive characters in her life. Her preference of Henry and Eleanor Tilney is more of a reflection of her own desires and preferences superceding the impetus of wealth and social class; it is not a moral choice or conscientious action made as a statement of value.Elizabeth, on the other hand, is the archetypal feminist. She has a razor-sharp wit and does not hesitate to let her voice be heard. Her marriage to Darcy was one of her own decision, one made after an extended period of time and of her own volition. Unlike her mother, who represents the contingent of female society entrenched in the race for male domination, Elizabeth asserts her freedom as a woman, both intellectually and personally. Austen’s portrayal of Elizabeth paralleled with Darcy (revealed, in turn, at the end of the novel) enhances Elizabeth’s feminist character as she is made an equal with Darcy in her maturity and growth. Both Elizabeth and Darcy overcome their “pride and prejudice,” showing that while they are exceptional people, they both are fallible and subject to criticism at times.
