Abstract

Jane Austen was a famous British novelist who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. She experienced social oppression of women and was deeply hurt by the feudal marriage system. Therefore, she created a series of female characters with distinct personalities and progressive views on marriage, using these characters to expound her views on women and marriage. She advocates gender equality, women's self-esteem and self-love, women's breaking of the shackles that bind them, advocating rationality and character in marriage choices, and opposing money supremacy. Her views on women and marriage broke the traditional societal norms of the time and had a certain progressive significance.
