談到傲慢與偏見
大概沒什麼人會聯想犬儒主義與它的關連吧
不過Elizabeth這番話卻是犬儒心態最好的展現：
There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
如果說傲慢與偏見的僅僅是一個可以把自己投射其中的浪漫故事 又或者把女主角看作是一個人格模範 讚賞她的優點 美德 脫俗 機智 那大概也讀不進今天已經被曲解的犬儒主義在其中的重要性 整個故事儼然一個想像理想的幻影投射
