A Study on the Sacrifice of Females in Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales_英语论文

摘要

随着社会历史的不断发展，女性在社会上的地位处于不断的变化和提升状态，近年以来女权运动热情空前高涨，似乎将要彻底颠覆以往女性几乎只有牺牲奉献的角色定位。而女性在社会中处于什么样的地位，扮演着什么样的角色，是评判一个社会进步与否的重要标准。古今中外，女性奉献主义角色频繁出现在文人的笔下，揭示着那个时代女性的地位，引发当世和后世之人的思考，对比与研究。   在诸多相关角色之中，最令我印象深刻和感到触动的就是安徒生童话笔下的小美人鱼，她的善良，天真活泼，纯洁和最后为爱牺牲自我的精神让人感动的同时又深感同情和遗憾。所以我将她定为这篇论文的主角，并与其它安徒生童话笔下的经典女性角色形象比较和现代女性牺牲奉献精神状况比较以达到对安徒生童话中小美人鱼形象从她做出牺牲奉献的原因及影响做出详细的分析和对比，来研究目前女性牺牲奉献主义的发展现状。

Abstract

With the development of social history,women’s status in the society is constantly changing and improving.In recent years,the enthusiasm of women’s right movement was unprecedented day by day,it seems to be completely reversed the role of women compared to the past.More importantly,what the role and status of women was the judging standard for the  social development level.The role of women’s sacrifice at all the times and in all the countries frequently appeared in scholar’s literature works,which revels the status of women in their era,initiate the later ages to think deeply,to do comparison and to do further research about that social hot issues.Among a lot of these typical characters,who  impressed and touched me the most was the little mermaid who was written by Hans Christian Anderson in his famous fairy tales.Her kindness ,innocent and lovely makes you feel comfortable.

Although   at last she sacrifice herself for her lover,who she thinks was her true love.This spirit touched the readers age from age,at the same time,people also felt deeply sympathy and regret for her.So I decided to use this image as the leading character in my thesis research,through the analysis and comparison to do more research about the study of the present situation of the development of women’s sacrifice towards love and daily life now.

Key words:  Female Sacrifice; The little mermaid; Hans Christian Anderson;   Fairy tales
