【摘要】 简·奥斯丁的两部作品《傲慢与偏见》和《劝导》都描写了婚姻与爱情,然而这两部作品中所描写的婚姻模式却大相径庭。在前期代表作《傲慢与偏见》这部小说里,奥斯丁描述了五种婚姻模式,其中男女主人公达西和伊丽莎白的婚姻是以爱情为基础,财产为保障的。在他们的婚姻模式中,爱情和财产是必不可少的要素,二者对于婚姻起着同等重要的作用。《劝导》是奥斯丁的最后一部作品,奥斯丁在这部小说里主要描写了男女主人公温特沃斯和安妮的婚姻模式。和《傲慢与偏见》截然不同,温特沃斯和安妮的婚姻摆脱了财产、地位的束缚,突出了爱情对婚姻的决定作用。本文以女性主义文学批评理论为指导,通过对《傲慢与偏见》和《劝导》的文本分析,比较了这两部作品中所描写的婚姻模式,揭示了后一部作品在婚姻模式这一方面的进步性,并且从社会因素、文学因素和个人因素三个角度分析了其进步的原因,从而得出结论:随着时代的发展,女性意识的觉醒,奥斯丁对于婚姻的观点也发生了进步性的改变。这种改变不但在当时的社会具有前卫性,而且在当下物欲横流、金钱至上的社会环境中,更具有现实意义。简·奥斯丁的两部作品《傲慢与偏见》和《劝导》都描写了婚姻与爱情,然而这两部作品中所描写的婚姻模式却大相径庭。在前期代表作《傲慢与偏见》这部小说里,奥斯丁描述了五种婚姻模式,其中男女主人公达西和伊丽莎白的婚姻是以爱情为基础,财产为保障的。在他们的婚姻模式中,爱情和财产是必不可少的要素,二者对于婚姻起着同等重要的作用。《劝导》是奥斯丁的最后一部作品,奥斯丁在这部小说里主要描写了男女主人公温特沃斯和安妮的婚姻模式。和《傲慢与偏见》截然不同,温特沃斯和安妮的婚姻摆脱了财产、地位的束缚,突出了爱情对婚姻的决定作用。本文以女性主义文学批评理论为指导,通过对《傲慢与偏见》和《劝导》的文本分析,比较了这两部作品中所描写的婚姻模式,揭示了后一部作品在婚姻模式这一方面的进步性,并且从社会因素、文学因素和个人因素三个角度分析了其进步的原因,从而得出结论:随着时代的发展,女性意识的觉醒,奥斯丁对于婚姻的观点也发生了进步性的改变。这种改变不但在当时的社会具有前卫性,而且在当下物欲横流、金钱至上的社会环境中,更具有现实意义。
【Abstract】 The dominant theme of both Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion is love and marriage, yet the marriage patterns in the two works are widely divergent.Among the five marriage patterns in Austen’s first novel Pride and Prejudice, the hero Darcy and the heroine Elizabeth’s marriage is based on love, and secured by property. Their marriage pattern proves that a happy marriage cannot be separated from either love or property. What is more, love and economic considerations are of equal importance.In Persuasion, Austen’s last and the most mature novel, the marriage pattern of Wentworth and Anne Elliot is vividly depicted. Quite different from patterns in Pride and Prejudice, however, true love without the consideration of property or social status plays a decisive part in Wentworth and Anne’s marriage.From a perspective of feminist criticism, and applying text analysis method to analyze the different marriage patterns in Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion, the thesis demonstrates the progress of Persuasion in respect of marriage pattern from social cause, literary cause and personal cause, and thus concludes that, with changes of time and awakening of female consciousness, Austen’s view on marriage has changed, which is not only progressive in the society of Austen’s age, but also has practical significance in the money-oriented world nowadays.
