Abstract: Mansfield Park revolves around Fanny Price, a young girl from a relatively poor family, who is sent to her rich uncle and aunt’s home when she is 10. Fanny Price grows up with her cousins at Mansfield Park, but she is often badly treated. Edmund is the only person that treats her with kindness. As time goes by, Fanny’s gratitude for Edmund secretly grows into love. When a rich man called Henry Crawford chases her with patience and asks her to marry him, Fanny never says yes. This paper will compare two types of views of marriage, namely, Fanny Price’s marriage being based on love versus Mary Crawford and Maria Bertram’s marriage being based on money and position. After comparison, a brief description of Jane Austen’s view of marriage, as well as its influence on modern society will be discussed.

摘要：《曼斯菲尔德庄园》讲述的寄人篱下的范妮自小受富有的姨母和姨丈抚养，与四个表兄姊一起在曼斯菲尔德庄园长大，但常受到不平等的对待。唯有善良表兄埃德蒙平等亲切的待她。随着时间增长，范妮的感激更逐渐转化为暗恋。她始终不渝地暗恋着二表哥埃德蒙，当富有的亨利·克劳福德死死纠缠她时，她丝毫不为所动。本篇论文将对小说中女主人公们的两种不同的婚姻观进行对比，即对范妮·普莱斯的建立在爱情基础上的婚姻观和玛丽·克劳福德，玛利亚·贝特伦等的建立在金钱和地位基础上的婚姻观进行对比。从而阐述简奥斯汀的婚姻观，即反对为了金钱和财产而结婚，婚姻应该建立在爱情的基础上。最后分析其婚姻观对现代社会有何影响，使读者能够更加了解简奥斯汀的婚姻观。
