Abstract

Possession describes a tragic love story in Victorian time. Christabel LaMotte, a representative of Victorian feminists, advocates her life of independence and freedom. Randolph Henry Ash, a poet with a traditional wife in Victorian time, falls in love with LaMotte on the basis of their common interest in literature. However, they have to cut off their relationship due to those strict social conventions. The tragic love story between LaMotte and Ash displays the concept of love of Victorian feminists. Through a textual analysis of correspondence letters in Possession, this thesis elaborates the reasons of LaMotte’s, a representative of Victorian feminists, concept of love and LaMotte’s concept of love in detail, and the outcomes of LaMotte’s concept of love in Victorian time. LaMotte’s concept of love originates from the social reason and her family reason. Deeply influenced by new ideas in Victorian society, LaMotte experiences a new way of life, a life without the interference of men. LaMotte’s love is laid on the foundation of common interest and mutual understanding. She thinks love takes an unimportant role in her social life. However, she loves Ash so deep that her love is indispensible in her personal life. LaMotte knows the essence of love exists in independence and perseverance. Facing difficulties and setbacks in life, she is independent. She is perseverant in her poetry and feminism. The outcomes of LaMotte’s concept of love make her life progress in setbacks, her love deepen through thick and thin. The grandson of LaMotte and Ash shows a great interest to poetry and this action speaks highly of the greatness of LaMotte’s perseverance. This thesis explores the concept of love of Victorian feminists, reveals the inner world of Victorian feminists, demonstrates the difficulties and value of the development of feminist idea in patriarchal Victorian society, and speaks highly of feminists, who are doomed to be marginalized by the patriarchal society, and their spirit of resorting to peaceful life and keeping on pursuing their dreams in life.
