This article talks about the “male gaze” and the “female gaze”. Generally, people consider more about the “male gaze”. Women are the objects of men’s desire. Women need to shape themselves to satisfy men. However, Jane Austen criticizes this thought. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen gives priority to “female gaze”. This article has three parts that are introduction, analysis and conclusion. Two authors firstly introduce what are gaze and eye. Then, they analyze how Jane Austen portraits the “female gaze” in the book. Finally, they draw a conclusion. This test is very useful because of its honest perspectives. I can use the analysis part as a door to explore manipulation in it. Liza has the “female gaze” but her mom Mrs. Bennet ignores the “female gaze”. This conflict may show the reason why people in that time want to manipulate their children’s marriages. The analysis part addresses my topic by causing the conflict so that I can know the reason why game theory exists in the marriages.
