《劝导》中女性觉醒意识分析_英语论文

Analysis of the Awakening of Female Consciousness in Persuasion

摘要

简·奥斯汀是一位写下众多作品的女性作家，尽管其中许多都因故只能匿名发表而终。虽然她笔下的主角往往将求爱和婚姻作为人生中的重中之重，简本人却一生未婚。她最著名的作品包括《傲慢与偏见》、《艾玛》和《诺桑决寺》等。她用精湛的写作技巧和她对生活的观察，将当时女性的生存和婚姻状况描写地细致入微。

基于《劝导》一书，本文将从女性意识角度来描写并分析安妮在关于情感方面的觉醒。本文分为四个部分。首先简要分析女权主义的内涵与发展。接下来将谈到简的写作动机，她是如何成长，如何将家庭和社会环境作为她灵感的重要来源进行思考与写作。然后分析《劝导》一书的主要特点，即作者在文中意志的体现和本书所要表达的女性主义意识的本质。最后分析了主角安妮的觉醒意识。作者正是通过安妮这一载体将其意志完整有力地表现出来。

Abstract

Though Jane Austen wrote down quite many works in her life, she published most of them anonymously. The most urgent preoccupations of her young heroines are courtship and marriage. Austen herself however, was never married. Her most famous books include Pride and Prejudice, Emma and Northanger Abbey. She wrote with delicate techniques and observations to life. Detailed descriptions of the survival and marital status of women count a lot in her books.

Based on Persuasion, this paper analyzes Anne’s wakening to love from the perspective of feminism. It consists of four parts. First is about the development of feminism in history. Followed by Jane's writing motivation and how she grew up, it is the important source of her inspiration for the germination of feminism. Then it is about the main female character in Persuasion, which is the embodiment of the author's will and the essence of the book. The last one is Anne, the heroine who speaks for the author.
