Abstract

The fascination of the English drama Downton Abbey lies in that it faithfully engraved the era that has passed away, and therefore the audience can see the glory of the era. Through studying the influence of the Industrial Revolution and the First World War on the women, this paper discusses the female characters in the Downton Abbey from the feminist point of view. By introducing the feminist theory and the first wave of the feminist movement, it analyzes the feminist ideology embodied in the play. And also, through the discussion of the British historical events and traditional thoughts, a comparison analysis is carried out between the feminist ideology and the male-dominated thoughts. Thus, this paper further explores the impact of feminism on British society and the change of women’s thoughts at that time.
