One needed to work for money, but work could also be pleasurable, just as marriage could not escape the traditional burdens associated with childrearing, and yet it didn't have to be without some of the delights of a love affair and a sexual obsession.
The bourgeois vision of marriage rendered a host of behaviours taboo that would previously have been tolerated, or at least not seen as a cause for the destruction of oneself or one's family - a merely tepid friendship with one's spouse, a sexual fiasco, adultery or impotence. The idea that one might break up one's family because one had had sex with someone else would have been as ridiculous to a libertine as the thought to a bourgeois that they might marry someone they didn't passionately adore.
The progress of bourgeois romantic ambition can be traced in fiction. Jane Austen's novels still feel recognisably modern because her aspirations for her characters mirror, and help to shape those we have for ourselves. Like Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice or Fanny Price in Mansfield Park, we too long to reconcile our wish for a secure family with a sincerity of feeling for our spouses.中产阶层对于工作的理想与其对待婚姻的态度如出一辙,是一种折中产物的体现。人需要为钱而工作,但工作也可以很愉悦,就像婚姻难以脱离传统的束缚,需要承担抚养子女的义务,当然婚姻也并非完全排除诸如恋爱的喜悦以及对性爱的痴迷。
中产阶层的婚姻观提出了一系列行为的禁区,这些行为在先前原本可以被容忍,或者至少不被视作为对个人或家庭造成破坏的一个原因,例如,仅仅是因为伴侣之间一种不温不火的友谊,一次性生活的不和谐、私通或是不举。对于浪子来说,一个人可能因为与他人发生关系而破坏整个家庭的观念是十分荒谬的,那么同样,对于中产阶级来说,与他们根本不爱的人结婚也是不可理喻的。
中产阶级式的浪漫遐想,其发展可追溯到小说中。简•奥斯丁(Jane Austen)的小说现在读来仍觉历久弥新,原因在于她笔下的人物角色的抱负反映了我们自已的抱负,并帮助我们形成了我们自已的抱负。就像《傲慢与偏见》(Pride and Prejudice)中的伊丽莎白•本内特(Elizabeth Bennett)或《曼斯菲尔德庄园》(Mansfield Park)中的凡妮•普莱斯(Fanny Price)一样,我们同样渴望实现一个稳固的家庭,同时对我们的另一半抱持一种真挚的情感。
