? 個人認為夏洛特的這條婚姻線也是全書非常有意思的一條。夏洛特是伊麗莎白的摯友，而在現(xiàn)實面前選擇嫁給了一個迂腐可笑的男人之后，她和伊麗莎白的關系也再也不如從前親近。在這一章夏洛特和伊麗莎白對感情和婚姻的討論中就能很明顯地看出兩個人的性格差異，這也極大程度上決定了最后兩個人的婚姻結局。夏洛特的觀點中，有這樣一句話很有趣：

? In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.

? 應該說這句話是很有道理的，時至今日都有許多人在愛情中采取這種策略，甚至簡和賓格里前期的分手也是因為簡過于內斂，讓賓格里誤以為她不愛他。此處夏洛特的眼光是很獨到的，她在兩個人相識初期就一眼看出了問題所在。但對此伊麗莎白的回復是

But these are not Jane's feeling; she is not acting by design.

? 是的，如果簡為了嫁入高門而矯飾，那就不是率真可愛，善良溫柔的簡了，賓格里自然也不會愛上她。
