I. Introduction

Jane Austen was a realistic writer. All her works focused on love and marriage. Persuasion was Jane Austen’s later works. Based on the interpretation of Austen’s view of marriage in the novel Persuasion, we can understand her later view of marriage better and can also find out the reasons for her outlook changes on love and marriage. Moreover, we can get more profound understanding on the theme of this novel and its realistic significance on marriage.
Scholars at home and abroad have done some researches on Jane Austen’s outlook on marriage. Gao Huiling thinks that Jane Austen’s outlook on marriage is that love is the foundation of marriage, that is, a marriage without love can’t be happy, so a person shouldn’t get married without love(35). And in Virginia Woolf’s eyes, Jane Austen was the most perfect artist among women. She argues love and the economy are very important, but love is more important, which is the predominant aspect(135). And Yang Yue holds the opinion that Marriage is a combination of economic and social status, so women frequently have to sacrifice their real feelings for the sake of financial security(98).A lecture delivered by A.C. Bradley, a celebrated Shakespearean scholar, at Cambridge is regarded as the starting point for the serious academic approach to Jane Austen. He points out that she is a moralist as well as a humorist, influenced by Doctor Johnson on the one hand (Todd 93). 由《劝导》解读奥斯汀晚期的婚姻观:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_18444.html
