These sharp contrasts can make readers see their sanctimonious behaviors more clearly and understand capitalist society’s hypocritical humanity corroded by money more deeply.4. Features of Satire in Pride and Prejudice and the Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg Portrayal Character creation with satire in Pride and PrejudiceAmong a group of fool” described in the novel, Bennett wife left the deepest impression on people. The author described her as “she was a women of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. the business of her life was to get her daughters married。 its solace was visiting and news.”（Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping,1998）To illustrate the personality of Mrs. Bennett, the author used a lot of satirical description. For example, after Lydia and Wickham eloped, Mrs. Bennett worried about her daughter39。s whereabouts and also troubled by her daughter’s wedding clothes. She is tortured by this two intertwined feelings in turn. “As soon as Jane had read Mr. Gardiner’ hope of Lydia’ being soon married, her joy burst forth, and every following sentence added to its exuberance. She was now in an irritation as violent from delight as she had ever been fidgety from alarm and vexation. To know that her daughter would be married was enough. She was disturbed by no fear for her felicity, nor humbled by any remembrance of her misconduct。”“my dear, dear Lydia! She will be married! she will be married at sixteen !……but the clothes ,the wedding clothes!……Lizzy, my dear, run down to your father ,and ask him how much he will give her。Stay ,stay, I will go myself…….” (Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping，1998)Through this section’s lifelike description, the moody image of Mrs. Bennett was represented vividly. Another example, Elizabeth rejected Collins’s propose, as a result “the wealthy bachelor.” Robbed by her neighbor sir William Lucas’ daughter, Mrs. Bennett fell down by this attack — at least she thought she was sick. She was more worried for her daughter39。s marriage。 we might as well say that she was frustrated. At this time her daughterinlaw came to visit her, making her sadness changing to happiness. In her own words, “however, your ing just at this time is the greatest of forts, and I am very glad to hear that you tell us of long sleeves.” (Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping，1998)Just imagine, at first lamenting on her daughter’s marriage ,then switching to long fashionable sleeves and she also got forted from it ! This kind of butt resulting from this disharmony can be found everywhere in Pride and Prejudice.Besides Mrs. Bennett, Mr. Collins was another good example described by Austen. He was confused, contradictory and full of illusion. The author’s sarcasm to him is merciless. On the one hand, he was all submission and obsequious to his patroness Lady Catherine. Let us look at the scene of playing cards at Rossings: “Mr. Collins was employed in agreeing to everything her ladyship (Lady Catherine) said, thanking her for every fish he won, and apologizing if he thought he won too many.” (Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping，1998)On the other hand, He is blindly selfconfident and puts on airs. Faced with an uncle, he is condescending. As the benefactor of charity declares himself ready to marry a daughter of Bennett family to make up for the loss of them because of his inheriting the estate and property. First of all, he determines to eldest sister Jane as the goal. Mrs. Bennett hinted to him that Jane was likely to be very soon engaged. Then,” Mr. Collins had only changed from Jane to Elizabeth, and it was soon done done while Mrs. Bennett was stirring the fire.” (Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping，1998). Before Elizabeth opens his mouth to speak, Mr. Collins declares the reasons why he decides to get married in one breath —one of which was to please his lady Catherine,“ it is the particular advice and remendation of the very noble lady whom I have the honor of calling patroness.” (Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping，1998)—till he guarantees “I shall be uniformly silent, and you may assure yourself that no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married!” (Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping，1998)Although Elizabeth refuses him with the clearest words, Mr. Collins firmly believes: “because I know it to be the established custom of your sex to reject a man on the first application, and perhaps you have even now said as much to encourage my suit as would be consistent with the true delicacy of the female character.” (Wang Chuang﹠Wang Liping，1998)While Mrs. Bennett was even more inconceivable which daughter dared to disobey her and refuse his proposal. So these two perverse fools congratulated to each other. Isn’t this a perfect irony? Character creation with satire in The Man that Corrupted HadleyburgIn this novel, we do not always know actually what kind of person the stranger is and we have no idea of what the 19 prominent residents, including Mr. Richards and his wife look like, but the author depicts distinctive and rounded characters one by one through vivid and detailed description of the action and the penetrating psychological portraits. Mrs. Richards receives a sack and a paper attached to it. Out of curiosity, “she went straight to the sack and brought away the paper.” After reading the paper, “Mrs. Richards flew to it all trembling and locked it, then pulled down the windowshades and stood frightened, worried.” Later, she thought of “But it is gambler money! The wages of sin: we could not take it。 we could not touch it”, so “she moved to a farther chair …” (Xian Yijing，2001) On the one hand, she hoped that we should not be tempted。 on the other hand she felt that “we are so poor, so old and poor!”(Xian Yijing，2001) If they sec
