浅谈《简爱》性格中的叛逆

浅谈《简爱》性格中的叛逆叛逆，就我看来，是一个人内心最深处真实的，也是最基本的一种冲动。

任何看似外表温顺，甚至是怯弱的人，内心也都是曾有过叛逆的想法，而区别只是在于他们是否为之付出行动。

在文学作品中，许多作者也乐此不疲的将这种叛逆的性格注入到自己笔下的主人翁身上，以达到丰富人物自身，使其形象更加饱满的目的，《简爱》中女主人公就是其中的一个。

一种彻底的勇气，不免让人想到简那毅然离开罗彻斯特一样，需要“风潇潇兮易水寒，壮士一去兮不复返”的豪迈和胆量。

看完简的故事，算是了解了自尊自主的定性，知道了敢于追求的情感，明白了坚强背后的定义……可以说，英国作家夏洛蒂勃朗特是将这种原则发挥的淋漓尽致的一位作家。

在《简爱》一书中，我们随处可见女主人公的叛逆反抗性格。

从某种程度上说，简爱是以一个传统观念的叛逆者，争取独立的女战士等形象为大多数读者认同的。

但随着时代的发展和观念的更新，也有不少人提出异议：简爱最后对婚姻的选择表现出对传统的社会体制，父权意识的妥协迎合，违背了反抗的初衷。

但我却不这样认为，作品中的女主人公正是在这中特殊的背景下，在叛逆与妥协中寻求到了一个平衡点，这不得不说也是一种进步的体现。

下面，我将从四个方面来阐释《简爱》这部作品中女主人公简爱身上所具有的叛逆特征。

（一）社会历史的大背景下，大环境决定了女主人公的叛逆心理。

自尊自主，叛逆反抗。

简从小就在舅妈家受尽虐待。

在那里，她只不过是“比不上佣人的小姐”。

尽管舅妈厌恶她，表兄妹蔑视她，没有人了解她，在她的心底却是充满叛逆的。

表哥约翰欺负她，她敢于直言不讳的谁：“你这个男孩真是又恶毒又残酷，你像个杀人犯，你像个虐待奴隶的人，你像罗马皇帝。

”面对舅妈的斥责她也回复“你以为你是好人，可是你坏，你狠心”的言语。

她的反抗是从心底发出的，尽管很多时候在表面是逆来顺受。

简是个非常重视自我的人，“我是自己的主人”是活在她灵魂深处的支点。

长大后，面临跟罗彻斯特的结婚梦幻破灭，他提议到法国过同居生活的时候，她没有动容。

Her father is a country clergy man who has three daughters, and the another two are Anne Bronte and Emily Bronte. Wuthering Heights was a great work written by her sister Emily and the other sister Anne has ever published Agnes Grey. Their novels based on their miserable lives are very popular in the word. Charlotte Bronte went to a charity school where bad food and poor living conditions were provided, and then, she was removed from the school to start a sketchy learning at home. She had been in a boarding school, and later was appointed as a family teacher. She has not received much formal schooling in her youth, but wide reading and home education seemed to give full play to her imagination. She had written lots of works in her long life. In 1842, Charlotte learned French for nine months in Brussels, and got a job. The job gave her a chance to work there as a teacher for one year. Later, she got married with a clergyman, but less than one year she died in 1855.Her masterpiece, Jane Eyre, is a world famous novel in 1847, and has been translated into many languages. She later wrote a great number of works in the past 40 years, which made her enjoy a high reputation.Jane Eyre is a novel written by Charlotte Bronte based on her own experiences, which is her most famous work. This novel has brought public attention and a heated discussion for over 150 years. On the surface, Jane Eyre is about a love story that tells us the beautiful love between a poor young woman Jane Eyre and a rich man Mr. Rochester. But when we read it carefully, it can be found out that this work is not only a simple love story, but also reflects some social issues in Victorian. Eyre is an orphan who is plain, timid and weak. She is ill-treated seriously by her relatives. She rebelled and fought bravely against the social oppression and discrimination, made unremitting efforts of pursuing freedom, equality, independence and true love and she always tries her best to seek for a happy life, which makes her a tough character with strong self-respect, beautiful ideal and wisdom. It can be seen that Jane Eyre, a marvelousfigure, has left us so much to recall and to think: she is a special image out of ordinary. She has the bravery to express her own idea and creates her own life. She always works hard and keeps her self-respect, intelligence and her tough personality under the pressure of life. In her point of view, everyone is not different at the same sky. Though there are differences in status, property and appearance, but all the human beings are equal in personality. She represents those middle-class working women who are struggling for the recognition of their basic rights and equality as a human being. Jane tries her best to gain women’s liberation and to pursue freedom, equality and true love in spite of all difficulties. She began to understand the true meaning of life, and tried to brave and strong to live. She thinks i t’s her spirit that makes the life meaningful. Jane Eyre was Charlotte Bronte’s own embodiment to resist the oppression of the traditional morality.The heroine Jane moves most readers as a unique image in spite of her plainness, poverty and low position. There is no doubt that this novel is of great importance in the history of world literature, and a new image it creates gives a profound meaning about Jane’s personalities. It can be said that Jane Eyre is an excellent declaration of women. It is Jane Eyre’s female consciousness that awakens women’s strong desire for liberation. This thesis manifests the females’ situations under the traditional morality in Victorian age. Jane Eyre fights against to break the traditional morality at that time, which is the appearance of feminine consciousness. Women’s pursuing of equal social status like men and independence in life can be easily found.2. The Performance of Female Consciousness of Jane Eyre2.1 Personal Equality AwarenessWomen were discriminated against by men and almost had no right at Victorian Age because man dominated and controlled everything, including woman. However, Jane Eyre dares to challenge men’ authority and traditional ideas in the process of going for the freedom and equality in her life. One of the eternal sights is her powerful confession of love. In a pleasant evening, to tempt Jane Eyre, Rochester saidhe was going to marry Miss Ingram, but also expressed that he was passionately in love with Jane. He hoped that Jane would stay with him. Jane Eyre immediately retorted: “Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal,--as we are!” (Charlotte Bronte, 2007: 23) Here, Jane Eyre thought that her pride was hurt, and pure emotions played a trick by the traditional concept, so she sent out the angry voice under the patriarchal culture depressed women and gave a call of equality between men and women. In this section of the confession of love, it can be found that the poor consciousness and the sense of the slave of the employees are far from Jane Eyre. Some others thought that she was easy to look down on, thanks to her ugly looks and poor family. So when someone met Jane Eyre, they always seemed quite contemptuous, for that they think that they obviously much prettier than Jane. But as the little Jane had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’(Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre, 2003: 67) from that the idea of equality was showed strongly in Jane Eyre’s mind. She was not given the beautiful looks and an amount of money, but everyone is equal in the eyes of God, and Jane is not an exception. She has a kind heart and a thinking brain, which is different from others. What she impresses us most is her awareness of everyone is equal and the sense of self-respect. The strong power can be felt in her small body. Jane Eyre never forgets that she is equal with other people when in the face of that arrogant noble young lady. She always insists on the principle of equality between men and women. She said angrily and discontentedly: “women generally are considered to be very loyal, but they also have the same feelingwith man. And they, like their brothers, also need to play their talents to the full, to exert them to the harsh environment.” (Charlotte Bronte.Jane Eyre, 1997:45)the book shows its uniqueness and force because of Jane’s insistence on equality and shocked many women around the world. In order to strive for equality, Jane made a strong resistance. It can be said that Jane played the female consciousness of that age.2.2 The Pursuit of Dignity and IndependenceJane’s strong independent awareness has an impact on the people from other parts of the world. She was thrown into a survival environment where her parents were dead. However, it is possible for Jane to pursue her self consciousness and self rights. Aunt’s contempt, cousin’s insult and beat and the snobbishness of the servants, these are never made her give up. Instead, she rises up to struggle against opponents with terrible fear, and never compromises. Jane Eyre begun to realize that she had to rely on nobody but herself to get the respect from others at the Lockwood boarding schools. Although constantly humiliated in school, she didn’t sink in humiliation. She got her strength to obtain independence from her dear teacher and fellow students. Maria Temple, an independent woman, is the headmaster of the Institution. She has a responsible attitude toward students and sees everyone equally, even the low students. From then on, Jane began to realize that independence is of great importance thing for everyone to fulfill their values, which is a meaningful lesson she leaned from Maria Temple. Later Jane made great progress in the aspect of her studies and won the respect and understanding from her teachers and students. Eventually she succeeds and gains respect and popularity from the people around her.Later Jane began her teaching career, which made her be independent economically. Without economic independence, female liberation movement would be impossible. When Rochester provided Jane with a chance to free her passions, Jane came to realize that she would be sacrificing her dignity for the sake of her feelings, so she refused without hesitation, because she thought that the freedom and independence she achieved by living as Rochester’s mistress is shameful and disgraceful. From the point of Jane’s view, everyone is equal in terms of personality, without regard to their different status, property and appearance. Love must be basedon equality and mutual independence. Women with independent personality, self-esteem, self-love, but not attached to the other people can get others’ respect, love and real happiness. So when the rights and dignity was invaded, she will be desperate to resist for their human dignity.2.3 The Pursuit of Love and MarriageIn Britain, at that time, it is difficult for women to obtain a majority position that truly belongs to them. Women don’t free to choose a spouse and to enjoy freedom. But Jane is a woman full of new love. She has the bravery to be against the social order and convention. The love between her and Mr. Rochester is on the basis of equal exchange mind and spiritual communion, especially on the emotional communication. That is a kind of love o f ‘soul calling soul’. She insists on that she doesn’t need any stranger who has no common language and is incompatible with her. She needs a type of person with me; she can get emotional resonance together. Love is equal and need mutual exchanges. This is the first criteria of mate selection in Jane Eyre’s view. She is just a poor teacher with a small figure and no charming beauty, and she hasn’t a noble position, an illustrious background, and an amount of wealth or a beautiful appearance. The only proud thing is her self-respect and her staunch independence. She never expects Rochester to love her for that she thinks there is a wide gap between them. In order to not lose herself, Jane always keeps her self-respect and independence when they fall in love. Therefore she has won the love of Rochester. It can be acknowledged that the reason lies in her unique personality and bright spirit that is her most valuable personality.It is said that love is the most beautiful thing in the world, which can bring human beings the spiritual happiness and delighted warmth. However, some people regard their love as goods that can be sold and measure their marriage by some materialistic staff, such as social status, money and power. Maybe they have never tasted the true love. Jane and Rochester love each other; the true love is their common goal that can enjoy the same thing. They can break the bonds of tradition and surpass all obstacles. More efforts like that have been done to achieve true love after they experienced a lot of sufferings. Eventually Jane falls in love with Mr. Rochesterwho has rich experience and wisdom, but not for his wealth and high rank. Rochester loves Jane for her unique character.Honesty should be based on mutual trust and play a very important role in love. Communication is also very important in inter-personal relationships, especially in love. Two people during the time of loving, they will communicate with each other honestly and share the same interest. Then they can have a perfect love. Jane and Rochester are just like this. At the beginning, they have some certain love feelings due to their frank exchanges. Jane understands and loves Rochester more when he tells all things about what happened in his past. Actually, Rochester sees Jane as a real independent person, not an employee or the slave of man and has a strong desire to get true love from her. When it comes to Jane’s love, her marriage has to be built on equality, mutual respect and honesty. She looks down upon the people who get married for money, status and any other beneficial things and refuses to be a puppet especially in the rich family. She truly loves Rochester and has nothing to do with his wealth and social status.2.4 Independent Awareness in EconomyIn the novel Jane Eyre Charlotte expressed strongly a view that female must achieve independence in economy. Charlotte mentioned that, no more than one, if the unmarried women have not their own property, they have to face the hard situation of their low status and aimless to live. She also thought women should not be the goods of the market for sale, but should actively fight for their position, and pursue the spiritual liberation and personality independence that is on the basis of economic independence. It is very necessary for woman’s liberation and their dignity, personality and position.Jane does not want to be the slave of money and to rely on others. She falls in deep love with Rochester. But he does not want Jane to go on working he wishes Jane belongs to him completely and considers Jane as his property. Jane refuses his suggestion without any hesitation．In her opinion，if she loses her job, she must depend on Rochester to live，thus economic independence says goodbye to her. She thinks that a kind of independence in property may also be a kind of comfort. Shedoes not want to be piece of personal belongs of Rochester. At last, she decides to preserve her independence.In the beginning of the novel, economic factors have obvious performance. Her father left her no penny in childhood, so she had to be a sponsor with abuse and humiliation. But through her own hard work, she had a job, a family teacher, which made her gain independence in economy. And at the same time, she also paid more attention to seek spiritual freedom. This freedom and independence are to maintain the foundation of all rights. Eventually she was married Rochester whose a large number of heritage burnt in a big fire. Here, it can be found that Ja ne’pursuit of economic independence is just the way of the achievement her independent personality.3. The Causes of the Formation of Jane Eyre’s Female Consciousness 3.1 The Individual FactorsJane Eyre has her own wisdom, courage and knowledge to achieve a happy life and realize her values, from which she comes to be recognized and respected. Her positive attitude towards life and the confidence in her own experiences make her take a turn for the better．Frankness and rejoicing is her hopeful attitude toward her unfortunate life. In Jane’s long life road, her attitude was formed from her life experiences, her feelings and viewpoints, and the life attitude also experiences a process of growth and maturation. Jane Eyre indicates her resolution by action, making all the costs to maintain human dignity.Jane has some qualities that modern woman should have. In such an era, the patriarchal cultural oppression exists in every corner of the female life. Jane Eyre figures out that a powerful man is based on wom an’s ignorance and obedience, and she comes to realize that women can not be controlled and dominated by man. On the contrary, woman should go for the equal rights in occupation, education and any other facets in life. Because Jane Eyre is strong, and can always keep a clear mind, in any crisis emergence, she always shows calmness. Whenever Rochester is in trouble, heinstinctively turns to Jane who can give him the inner power of life. In the process of getting along with Jane, Rochester has been totally attracted by her unique personality charm, so that he is totally dependent on Jane Eyre in spirit and life. Jane Eyre’s individual factors are the important elements for the formation of her female consciousness.3.2 Family FactorsJane Eyre is an orphan, whose parents passed away when she was very young, being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. Jane has ever received kindnesses from a servant named Bessie who often told her some interesting stories and singing songs. One day, she fight with her bullying cousin John Reed, and said “Wicked and cruel boy!” “You are like a murderer.” (Charlotte Bronte, 2007: 12). After that, Jane was confined in the red-room by cruel aunt, in which Jane’s Uncle R eed died. While locked in, Jane was so frightened that she believed she saw her uncle’s ghost, and she screamed and fainted. The sufferings from humiliation teach Jane to be maintaining dignity over anything else. She wakes to find herself in the care of Bessie and Mr. Lloyd, the kindly apothecary who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school. When her aunt said she was a liar and nasty girl. Jane felt her personality is suffering from a brutal trample, so her humiliation and anger turned into strong resistance in her heart: “You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so, and you have no pity. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, and you are deceitful!”(Charlotte Bronte 2007 , 2 第三十页) This victory made Jane Eyre hurt in her young mind once again , she realized that the only way was the resistance if one wanted to be survive, and obtain fair treatment as anyone else. These family factors have a great impact on her female consciousness later.3.3 The Social FactorsIn 19th century, women did not have any status. They were discriminated and had no such choices. Most of them lived in a state little better than slavery. They had little choice but to obey men, because man dominates all the things in most cases. Girls are forbidden from college and can land only low-income jobs. Women s solepurpose was to marry and reproduce. At that time, woman just was teaching as school mistress or a tutor in a private family. They are educated to remain ignorant and uneducated.In the late 19th century, feminism began to gain popularity in some western countries such as Britain and America and so on so forth. Feminism means that women can get equal rights and opportunities with men; it is a social reform that seeks to end the inferior status of women. Feminism is worldwide. Its aim is to save women from all forms of oppression, and led to unity between women. The charter movement in which the proletariat struggle for democratic rights is rising. From then on the position of women was given prominence. Many people put forward the slogan of freedom for woman's rights, and woman’s independent awareness has been greatly raised. They think they are all equal with men and they have the right to decide their own marriage. Jane with unique character is different from many other women in the male-dominated society. Jane’ great character inspirits not only women but also men. Jane’s a great soul is a bright star to guide us in a long journey.4. The Revealing of Jane’s Female Consciousness for Modern Female 4.1The Influence of Jane EyreJane Eyre develops from an angry, rebellious girl into a sensitive, confident and independent young woman. In fact, she is also the prototype of the author in this novel. It can be said that Jane’s biggest barrier is her social class, but even so, Jane never give up pursuing her financial and emotional independence. The reason why she rejected to marry Rochester was that she realized she can get married with him so long as she has obtained the financial independence. She acknowledged that self-esteem and economical independence were the basis of maintenance a marriage of equality. She is valued for her humanity and values. The story told with terrific intensity. The hardships Jane experienced were illustrated in such a simple and plain language that you could not be read without emotion. Jane Eyre is unique in Victorian fiction. It is one of the most popular of all English novels and has a great effect on thepeople all over the world.4.2 The Significance for Modern FemaleIt can be seen that the status of woman has been improved so fast nowadays, but woman’s status is also very low in some countries. Most feminists believe discrimination against women still exists in North American and European nations, as well as worldwide. But as we all known, it have taken a considerable leap for the rights and status of woman. It is also interesting to witness that in recent years some developing nations, such as India, and Israel that have chosen women as heads of state. What’ more, many women are working in many big companies as leaders or boss. Moreover, we take for granted that women can choose whether or not to marry, and whether or not to have children, and so on. On the whole, we can say that the liberation of woman is no longer a big issue, but we still need to make every effort to fight for more rights for woman. There also seems little doubt that the demand for sexual equality will persist until it has fully been granted everywhere. Today, however, in addition to economic issues, problems of sexual self-determination have come to the foreground. We should do everything we can to advance woman’s right s and status, and achieve real equality between men and women.5. ConclusionFrom the analysis above it can be seen Jane is a good model for women in all aspects, such as, her self -esteem, respect, independence, and her views on true love, her courage, her spirit and ideas. This road in J ane Eyre’ life is full of hardships. In this process, she has ever been depressed, but she was brave and still struggled for her own ideal and dream under the bad environment. She has a heroic spirit in facing hardships. There is a process of growth and enrichment in Jane Eyre’s attitud e towards life, which includes the formation of personality, the attitude toward love and the attitude toward life and death. From this a new feminine image from Jane is presented; the image can be the firm ideals and persistent pursuit of self-esteem, independence, self-reliance, the choice of one’ own life. This is the charisma of JaneEyre, as well as the purpose of this paper. So we still say Jane Eyre is great. Charlotte who publishes her own idea through Jane Eyre is greater. Through Jane Eyre , It can be understood that the woman can find the true love and the sense of belonging so long as they does not submit to the social class and the sex prejudice, and does not approve the oppression, or the status which controls them.Finally, the sprits of independence and sovereignty for women advocated by Charlotte Bronte is what the modern women are pursuing even day, which also influences millions of her readers who can’t get an equal treatment in the society from ancient time till now. Let the great work light up every corner of being unfairly treated women.Bibliography[1] Bronte Charlotte. Jane Eyre [M].New York: Oxford University Press. 1975[2] Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre[M].

文法学院08级汉语02班20084120238 程泽锋《简爱》中女性反抗性格的形成摘要：夏洛蒂·勃朗特的作品《简爱》成功地塑造了一位生而不幸却又敢于与命运抗争的的女性人物。

小说以女主人公简爱的生活经历为线索，展示了她反抗性格的初步产生、发展和成熟的过程，歌颂了女性反抗意识和始终追求人格自由和平等的精神。

作者通过简爱坎坷的经历宣扬了自己的社会主张，揭示了一个同时代的人们常常忽视的问题——女性问题，揭开了女性文学的新篇章，为女性争取平等、自由举起第一面大旗。

关键词：简爱；反抗性格；形成正文：19 世纪中叶英国小说家夏洛蒂·勃朗特以一部《简爱》揭开了女性文学的新篇章。

她突破了当时的创作风气，塑造了一位敢于反抗资产阶级虚伪、狡诈和不平等、不合理现象的崭新的女性形象。

《简爱》的艺术成就之一就是典型环境与典型人物的高度统一与和谐。

一、《简爱》创作的背景《简爱》是英国批判现实主义女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特（1816－1855）的成名作，创作于1847 年，被誉为英国文学史上第一部女权主义小说，也是世界文学史上一部脍炙人口的经典作品。

小说的取胜之处在于刻画了一个性格非常特殊的女性形象——简爱。

贫穷的家庭女教师简爱是一个男权社会里的知识女性，由于对女权与平等的强烈追求，使她执着地捍卫独立人权，追求真爱。

她身上体现出来的不平凡的气质和丰富的个人情感征服了千千万万个读者的心。

也正因为这一点，《简爱》突破了英国小说史上一般作品的内容，使简爱成为英国文学史上最辉煌的女性形象之一。

《简爱》作者夏洛蒂·勃朗特，她出生于一个清贫的牧师家庭，幼年丧母。

在她8 岁时，她和她的姐妹们被送往一所专为牧师子女而开办的慈善学校住读，学校里极差的条件，粗劣的食物，加重了她两个姐姐的病情，这两个孩子被送往家中后不久即病逝。

谈《简爱》中主人公女性反抗意识的觉醒

226谈《简爱》中主人公女性反抗意识的觉醒李志宇西北师范大学文学院摘要：自夏洛蒂勃朗特创作《简爱》，简爱这个形象便成为独立、自强、自尊、理性，自觉追求幸福的新女性代名词，简爱也被公认为是作者夏洛蒂勃朗特的另一个化身，是作者主体意识的投射，正如马克亨内利指出的，简爱的名字缩写在一起用法语表达就是“我”，她是追求独立自由的个体女性形象代表。

对于简爱的形象分析，国内外的学者已经是涉及到方方面面。

本文将立足《简爱》中主人公的女性反抗意识的如何一步步觉醒，从简爱成长过程中女性意识的觉醒、话语权角度分析简爱形象的两个方面来探究。

关键词：简爱；女性意识；第二性；话语权一、成长过程中女性意识的觉醒小说通过写简爱与男性的人物之间关系展示简爱女性意识的成长。

当时社会推崇理想主义女性人格，即善良、谦卑、逆来顺受，而简爱的成长却抵制了不同男性人物对她的压迫。

(一)表哥：表哥因为受到舅妈的过度宠爱，再加上对简爱的歧视和厌烦，他常常欺负简爱，甚至动手打她。

寄人篱下的简爱并没有因此而向权势屈服，她发疯似的和他对打，旁人的评价是“如果她是个又可爱又美丽的女孩子，那倒可能同情她的孤苦伶仃，可她偏偏是一个鬼丫头，实在不讨人喜欢。

面对表哥、舅妈、甚至还有佣人的欺负，应该妥协来博得同情还是勇敢做出反抗？对于年幼的简爱，反抗只会让她受到更凶狠的欺负，看似不是明智之举。

但是，妥协难道可以改变什么吗？事实上也并不会。

但是旁人眼中，却认为简爱应该楚楚可怜来博得同情,这是男权社会给世俗根深蒂固的思想观念，女性就应该来扮演弱者的形象，瘦弱、胆小、无知。

对于简爱这样勇敢、独立、还敢于反抗的女性形象自然是不受大众接受的。

(二)劳渥德学校校长：他以拯救灵魂的理由用残酷和屈辱的方式惩罚少女，给他们穿质地最粗，样式最丑的衣服，企图扼杀她们身上最后一点爱美的天性。

爱美是每个女性的天性，被剥夺天性是等同于失去生命。

而校长就是一个用权威来剥夺少女的本真，让她们不得已放弃自己的天性美，屈从于刻板的制度。

论《简爱》中的女性意识

论《简爱》中的女性意识
《简爱》是英国作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作，也是一部具有深刻内涵的文学作品。

在这部作品中，勃朗特论述了简·爱·大山的斗争，她在法律、道德和传统习俗毫无凭借的情况下，如何支持和捍卫她的女性身份。

书中的女性意识主要体现在简·爱的性格特征中。

她力求在法律与宗教之间寻求平衡，尽管传统和宗教规范反对女权利和自由，但是她仍然尽一切努力去捍卫自身的权利，对非法和不正当的表现要发起抵制。

不仅如此，她以诚实、正直而为人所敬重，坚定地固守自我尊严与自由，获得女性自尊。

简·爱不断努力在政治与社会间寻求平衡，在以传统形式控制女性的环境中，勇于发起自我反抗，充分体现了女性意识。

她渴望自由、寻求独立，以强大的意志和毅力不畏强权，支持女性的自主权，以及反对传统观念中有关女性的表现。

这是她走在时代前沿、打破内心封锁的表现，极具时代性的女性意识抗争。

《简爱》中简·爱的性格与抗争，表达了女性意识的真正含义：支持女性的自由意志，坚决反对特权和歧视的威胁，支持女性在客观社会问题中发挥更大的作用，勇于反抗强势压抑，在重压下追随内心，坚持自尊自信，坚守女性自主权利。

简·爱可以说是界定时代的一位英烈，她的故事激发了无数女性拥抱未来的勇气。

读书心得——《简爱》女主人公对父权制的反抗

读书心得——《简爱》女主人公对父权制的反抗凯特·米利特在《性政治》中提出了“父权制”的概念：一种不公正的男性统治女性的制度。

这种制度认为女性只是男性的附属物，是一个受压迫、受歧视的“他者”。

夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简爱》就描写了一位生活在这种制度下并勇于同该制度相抗争的新女性形象简。

本文将从三个方面来分析简对父权制的反抗：勇于反抗父权制的压迫，追求两性平等，追求经济独立。

一、反抗父权制社会的压迫简爱是一个敢于反抗来自父权制社会种种压迫的新女性形象。

简爱对父权制的反抗的意识源于她幼年时期作为一个孤儿被寄养在舅妈家所受到的遭遇：表兄弟的欺凌与挑衅，表姐妹的傲慢无礼，舅妈的尖酸刻薄，仆人的白眼歧视。

在当时那样一个等级森严，男尊女卑的父权制大背景下，简爱的舅妈家其实就是“当时英国社会的一个缩影，残暴专横的表哥约翰是父权制的代表，简爱受尽了他的虐待”。

面对约翰的虐待，简爱并不是逆来顺受，而是奋力反抗，发疯了似的与她表哥对打：“我发现他真的是一个暴君，是一个杀人犯。

我觉得从头上有两滴血顺着脖子淌了下来，感觉到了热辣辣的剧痛。

当这一些感觉占据了上风之后，我就不再感到畏惧，而是发疯地同他打了起来。

”简爱与表哥的这场争斗实质上是对来自整个父权制社会压迫的反抗。

这是简爱与父权制社会压迫相抗争的第一步。

简爱对其表兄进行反抗后被送进了劳渥德慈善学校。

这个学校看起来是一个慈善机构，但实际上却是另一个以校长布洛克霍斯特为代表的父权制社会的缩影。

在这里简爱同样受到了来自父权制社会的压迫。

这里的孩子们在精神上和肉体上都受到了父权制思想的摧残。

而简爱则是这些孩子们中唯一敢于大胆地反抗这种压迫的女孩。

每当劳渥德慈善学校的校长布洛克霍斯特对其施加父权制的威严和教义时，简爱总是“昂着头一动不动地站在凳子上”，表现出一副不屈不挠的反抗姿态，简爱曾对好友海伦说：“如果人们对那些残忍不公的人总是宽容服从，坏人就会为所欲为了：他们就绝不会害怕，而且这样一来他们也不会改悔，而会变得越来越坏。

简爱的女性意识

简爱的女性意识2003年由英国广播公司推荐的100部英国人最喜爱的小说榜中，《简?爱》排在第六位；哈佛书店2006年公布的100本最佳小说中，《简?爱》排名第十，是前十名唯一的一本19世纪小说。

《简?爱》遍布世界的文化播散在为其注入新活力的同时，促成了异质文化间的互动和交流。

迄今为止，《简?爱》已经被翻译成20多种语言，单在英国就有20多个版本。

《简?爱》这部作品自出版至今，持续地对世界各地的读者产生影响。

《简?爱》是女性文学的代表作，简?爱追求自由平等的爱情，有着独立意识的性格，她的性格还具有一定矛盾性和反叛性。

本文以女性主义为视角，分析了女主人公简?爱的女性意识发展历程。

一、女性意识的萌芽――在舅母家简?爱从小就失去父母，被寄养在盖兹海德府的舅舅家中，过着寄人篱下的生活。

在舅舅里德先生过世后，简?爱坠入了黑暗的生活深渊，受到了残酷的折磨。

蛮横无理的表哥和表妹把她当作仆人一样殴打。

由此，简?爱的反抗意识开始被唤醒，她没有再逆来顺受，而是毫不畏惧，奋起反抗。

她怒视迫害她的小魔王：“你这个男孩实在是又可恶又残酷！你像个杀人犯……你像个虐待奴隶的人……你像罗马的皇帝！”然后，简?爱和她们扭打起来，最后的结局是她为自己的行为付出了巨大的代价，她被舅母关进了黑暗可怕的红房子。

她在房子中绝望地呼喊、认错，但没有任何人关心她。

她清晰地认识到：这个世界太不公平了！此时，简?爱幼小的心灵已经认识到“在绝望中更是要反抗到底，没有必要用自己的尊严去换取她人的欢愉”，她的女性意识开始萌芽。

二、女性意识的产生――在劳沃德学校在劳沃德学校，简?爱的反叛性格和她的女性意识表现得更为明显。

简?爱在劳沃德学校一呆就是八年，这段时间可以说是她人生中的一次蜕变，她由盖兹海德府中的一个无助的孤女一步步蜕变为一个思想独立、自信聪颖的姑娘。

也就是在这段时间，她的女性意识逐步形成。

当她唯一的好朋友海伦因小事受鞭笞的时候，简?爱说：“要是她用那个鞭子揍我，我会从她手中夺过来，当着她的面把它折断。

简爱的女权主义思想试析

《简爱》的女权主义思想试析
内容摘要：
夏洛蒂在《简爱》中塑造的女主人公简爱,她敢爱敢恨、敢作敢当、反抗着社会的不公,追求者平等、自尊、自强,成为传统女性叛逆者的化身。简爱不幸的童年和学校寄宿生活一直被鄙视、嘲讽、毒打所包围,但是她没有被这些所吓到,反而激发起了她对这些丑陋人的嫉恨,她要反抗,要平等,要自尊。该文以结合夏洛蒂的经历及作品《简爱》的故事情节,浅析《简爱》中的女权主义思想。
著名的女权主义理论家西蒙·波夫瓦在《第二性》中提出了一个重要观点，她认为“在社会历史中，男性处于主导和决定地位，女性处于被主导和被决定地位，关键在于女性经济不能自立，这是极其重要的原因”。女性要解放，“首先要完成女人经济地位的演变”。因为经济依附，女性只能封闭于家庭，而使女人注定成为附庸的祸根就在于她没有可能做任何事，所以摆脱低下的地位，就必须走经济独立的道路。“女性通过有报酬的职业可以极大地跨越同男性的距离，而女性要真正实现经济独立并不容易。女性必须踏上一条极为艰苦的道路。不过这又是一条最可靠的道路，每一种事物都在诱惑她走容易走的道路。”如果贪图安逸，女性就会堕入“附属”的生活。简爱的辛酸历程正说明了这一点，夏洛蒂的良苦用心也正在于此。小说对经济因素决定妇女社会地位的揭示，表明了作者为妇女解放，为争取与男性平等的地位所做出的努力。同时作者也为全天下受到不平等待遇的妇女指出了一条明确的出路，那就是：千千万万受过教育的女性只有像简爱一样自食其力，不依附他人，才能赢得社会的尊重和热爱，也才能实现真正的男女平等。从这层意义上讲，夏洛蒂无疑是女权主义者的先驱。
三、夏洛蒂的女权主义思想还表现在自我认证与自我价值追求上。
简爱对女性作为社会人的角色认证以及对自我价值的追求是在一次次地反抗中得以升华的。
小说在表现生存意义和价值取向上实际已经超出对“男女平等”的要求，而达到通过反抗来证实自我、维护自我、表现自我，从而实现人生价值的更高层次的思想境界。

浅论《简爱》中体现的女性觉醒意识

浅论《简爱》中体现的女性觉醒意识所谓女性意识，就是指女性对自身作为人，尤其是女人的价值的体验和醒悟，对于男权社会，其表现为拒绝接受男性社会对女性的传统定义，以及对男性权力的质疑和颠覆，同时又表现为关注女性的生存状况，审视女性心理情感和表达女性生命体验。

具体地说：“女性意识”指女性的自我意识，它不仅要求挣脱封建婚姻制和封建礼教的桔桎，实现婚姻自由和个性解放，而且还有更高层次的要求，那就是妇女价值的发掘与自我肯定。

”总的来说，19世纪的英国是：“女性小说的时代” 。

批判现实主义作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简爱》以其鲜明的女性主义主题，创作出超越时代的女主人公简爱。

她既不是“家里的天使”也不是“理想的淑女”，她的桀骜与叛逆显然和时代的主流意识格格不入，却因勇敢的挑战男权控制下的既定秩序，追求女性的独立、平等成为女性文学不朽的经典人物形象。

一、女性意识在简爱中的体现在夏洛特生活的时代，妇女是男人的附属物。

她们社会地位低，被歧视。

但是简——一个没有社会地位的孤儿——被描绘成一个具有非凡的性格和坚强意志的新型妇女。

这使得这本小说完全不同于其他以才子佳人为理想的刻画对象的当代作品。

当时的思想家约翰·拉斯金在其散文《论女王的花园》中就说，理想的妇女和理想的家庭与现实的原始森林式的生存竞争互不相容，妇女的地位不是在社会上，而是在家庭中。

按照当时流行的说法，就是做“家里的天使”。

这就意味着女人必须在家里侍奉丈夫和孩子，否则就是不合乎“家里的天使”的模式，也就失去了女人存在的价值。

显然，“天使”集中概括了一个男权主义世界里十分荒谬的妇女观。

这种观点在十九世纪十分盛行，就在这种社会背景下，简爱却大声宣布“我不是天使，我就是我自己！”这呼声既是对以男子为中心的英国社会的公开挑战，也是为捍卫女性人格与尊严的呐喊。

若从妇女解放的角度说来，这句铿锵有力的话在当时有多么激进，多么有份量！可以说它是打开《简爱》的一把钥匙。

简爱的反抗精神

简爱的反抗精神简•爱背负着自然与社会给她的一切不幸，开始了她的人生。

她没有双亲，没有钱财，她是男人世界中的一个弱女子。

雪上加霜的是，她不漂亮。

她有着坚强的个性，这使她在世人眼里更加失去了魅力，因为她不会对别人逆来顺受。

她不像是世上伟大爱情故事中的女主角，然而她却有着相当于此的举动。

世人看到的是她的种种劣势，告诉她对生活不要有太多奢望。

然而简爱不听这一套，她拒绝接受世人给予她的卑微地位。

她要求世人接受她的本来面目，她可能微不足道，但却是自己命运的主宰，她也许不漂亮，却值得他人爱。

简爱在洛伍德学校对其好友海伦伯恩斯说过这样一段话：“当我们无缘无故挨打的时候，我们应该狠狠地回击；我肯定我们应该回击——狠狠地回击，教训教训打我们的那个人，叫他永远不敢再这样打人。

”狠狠地回击！这便是简爱具有的反抗精神。

小说一开始，在盖茨赫德，年幼的简爱就和她的表哥约翰里德发生了冲突。

粗鲁残暴的约翰里德经常欺负简爱，有时打骂她，有时吓唬她。

他的欺负不是一星期两三次也不是一天一两次，而是随时随地。

简爱怒斥这个迫害她的小魔王：“你这男孩真是又恶毒又残酷！你像个杀人犯——你像个虐待奴隶的人——你像罗马的皇帝！”接着便和他扭打在一起。

这是简爱十年里累积的恐惧、疼痛、愤怒终于转化为她反抗的力量。

这个瘦弱的女孩以她勇敢的表现吸引了读者。

狠狠地回击，第一个对象是约翰里德。

接下是冷酷无情的里德太太。

简爱说过：“无论过去我下了多大功夫去取悦里德太太，她总是往最坏里想我，我变得这么恨她也就没什么奇怪的了。

”简爱跟里德太太发生了争吵，她很犀利地指责里德太太：“如果我真的撒谎，我会说我爱你！可是我不爱你，我恨你！只要我活着，我不会再叫你舅妈。

如果有人问我你是怎么待我的，我会以实相告，告诉他们你带我很凶。

大家都把你当好人，可是你却在骗他们。

”当简爱说完这些话的时候，里德太太看上去又难受又害怕，自言自语着要尽早送简爱去洛伍德学校。

在洛伍德学校，简爱结交了好朋友海伦伯恩斯，一个崇拜上帝的信徒。

谈《简·爱》女性反叛意识

谈《简·爱》女性反叛意识摘要：《简·爱》是英国现实主义文学作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作品。

《简·爱》是一部敢于反抗、要求自由独立，追求平等的精神体现的强烈的女性反叛意识，通过这部作品，女权主义第一次确立了女性的主体意识，她具有强烈的自尊和高度的反抗精神和反叛意识，她的反叛都是在努力争取自由、平等独立、维护女性应有的尊严和地位。

关键词：简·爱反叛意识女性意识引言：《简·爱》是19世纪英国著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作品，这是一部著名的具有强烈的自传性的文学小说，作者从自身的经历和生存体验进行描绘女性在当时的生存的艰辛和地位不平等带来的痛苦，表达出作者内心女性反叛意识的觉醒，这部作品主要讲述了一个从小就成为孤儿的女子在各种磨难中不断追求尊严和自由，坚持自我，最终获得自己想要的幸福的故事。

通过《简·爱》这一部作品，夏洛蒂·勃朗特塑造简·爱这一具有反叛精神和反抗意识的女权形象，体现出强烈的反叛意识和女权意识。

下面主要进行分析简·爱反叛意识的体现一、“天使”形象的反抗在十九世纪的英国女性被置于最低等的社会地位，约翰·拉斯金思想家在《论女王的花园》散文中提到：理想的妇女和理想的家庭与现实的原始森林式的生存竞争互不相容，在社会上妇女是没有任何地位的，而在家庭中妇女则是“家里的天使”，是妇女的典范，这就说明妇女在家中必须侍奉男人、操持家务、照顾孩子，否者就不是“家中的天使”，当然对于当时来说也就失去女人在社会上存在的价值。

但是简·爱却宣布“我不是天使，我就是我自己”，她的呐喊不仅是对男子主义的社会的挑战，也是为了捍卫女性在社会上的尊严和人格。

简爱的呐喊声喊出了对当时女性地位不满，对当时社会的不平等的不满[1]。

简爱是一个无依无靠的孤儿，从小就在舅母家，家庭中夫人的恶意、少爷的霸道以及小姐的傲慢和仆人的鄙视造成简爱生活感到痛苦，因此产生强烈的反抗意识，终于到后来简爱被表哥殴打的忍无可忍而全力反抗表哥并和他对打，从而导致简爱被关在红房子中，从此舅母把简爱视为眼中钉，从此简爱和舅母的对抗更加坚决。

论简爱独立女性意识

论简爱独立女性意识摘要: 19 世纪的英国，男权主义仍然占绝对主导，女人是弱者，男人发号施令，女人必须服从，此时萌生了不符社会普遍现象，具有反抗精神和不屈服于命运的女权主义。

贫穷的家庭女教师简·爱是一个知识妇女，她敢于反抗压迫，执着地捍卫女权，追求平等、自由和真爱的精神，体现出了强烈的女性意识，她是一个无亲无故的孤儿，然而，也是一个独立的女性强者，成为了那个时代最具有代表性的全新的女性，实际上成了女权主义兴起的标志。

一理性的抗争( 1) 离开舅舅家去罗伍德寄宿制学校。

幼年时的简. 爱由于父母双双染病去世，简·爱被送到盖茨赫德庄园，寄居在舅舅家中。

可雪上加霜的是盖茨赫德的原主人里德先生也过早的弃她而去。

舅妈觉得她是一个“天性恶毒、想法卑劣、特别爱撒谎”的人，于是把她视作眼中钉，肉中刺，百般刁难。

表弟约翰. 里德蛮不讲理，咒骂和毒打犹如家常便饭。

最终还把她关进了红房子，在这个舅舅逝去的房间里，简·爱禁不住怀疑: “要是里德先生还在的话，他一定会待我很好的”。

肉体上的痛苦和心灵上的屈辱和恐惧，使得简开始对盖茨赫德绝望，从此放弃了习惯的忍受，开始反叛思考着挑战和抗争，最终选择去了罗伍德学校。

( 2) 离开桑菲尔德。

在桑菲尔德，简找到了家的感觉，这里有慈祥热心的费尔法克斯太太，活泼可爱的阿黛勒，最重要的是有她深爱的罗彻斯特。

她在这里安顿了下来，她改变了生活环境，开始了自我价值的肯定。

在与罗切斯特相处的过程中，简. 爱始终表现得不卑不亢、落落大方。

说出了千古绝唱: “难道就因为我一贫如洗，默默无闻，长相平庸，个子瘦小，就没有灵魂，没有心了———你想错了，我的心灵跟你一样丰富，我的心胸一样充实! ”简通过自己的人格魅力终于也赢得了这一生的至爱。

但也许是天意弄人，正怀揣着幸福，站在结婚的殿堂上时，简知道了伯莎梅森的存在，原来自己拼命喜欢的却是一个已婚的人，虽然痛不欲生，但她还是选择了放弃渴望已久的唾手可得的爱情，悄悄离开了。

浅析简·爱的反抗精神

浅析简·爱的反抗精神摘要：《简·爱》在英国文学史，甚至在世界文学史都上占有非常重要的一席之地。

之所以如此，是因为它成功地塑造了一个极具反抗精神的女主人公形象。

本文试以简·爱的经历为顺序，分析了小说中主人公反抗精神的体现。

关键词：《简·爱》反抗精神《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作，也是她的第一部长篇小说。

故事的主人公简·爱是个孤儿，出身贫寒。

在做家庭教师时，简·爱与男主人罗切斯特产生了产生了真挚的爱情。

然而结婚当天，简·爱发现罗切斯特竟然有一位活着的妻子，因为发了疯被关在阁楼上很多年。

遭遇惊人的变故后，简·爱含泪离开。

不久之后，疯女人放火烧毁了罗切斯特的庄园并丧身于熊熊大火，罗切斯特双目失明，身体残废。

在罗切斯特对生活陷入绝望之际，简·爱又回到了他的身边。

《简·爱》在英国文学史，甚至在世界文学史都上占有非常重要的地位。

之所以如此，是因为它成功地塑造了一个极具反抗精神的女主人公形象。

夏洛蒂通过简·爱一生的故事，反映了当时英国社会的不平等，以及主人公敢于争取平等地位的决心和意志。

在小说中，简·爱的经历大致可以分为四个阶段：在盖茨海德，在劳渥德义塾，在桑菲尔德，在沼泽山庄。

最主要的一段是在桑菲尔德。

在盖茨海德，幼年简·爱与欺负她的表哥约翰发生冲突，和他打了起来，后被舅妈里德太太关入红屋子作为惩罚。

里德太太对简·爱冷酷无情，却以一向以恩人自居，她的所作所为激起了简·爱莫大的反感，以至于有一天爆发了。

简·爱曾一针见血地对里德太太说：“我一想起你就恶心，你对我残酷到了可耻的地步。

别人以为你是个好女人，可你是个铁石心肠的坏女人。

”虽然作者对简·爱在盖茨海德生活的描述只有四章，但一个坚强，勇敢，具有反抗精神的女孩形象已跃然纸上，让读者初步看到了简·爱性格中的反抗精神。

上个世纪中期英国小说家夏洛蒂・勃朗特打破了传统的创作风气，反名嫒淑女、大家闺秀，在《简・爱》中塑造了一位脱胎换骨、洗尽铅华，同时敢于和资产阶级、不公平现象进行反抗的新女性。但是简爱并不是与生俱来的反抗者，其反抗性格的形成和苦难经历、黑暗环境有很大关系，从她的童年一直到成熟时期都体现着反抗精神。通过分析简・爱的反抗精神，有助于理解小说
神美感得到了罗切斯特的爱情，这也是对等级制度森严的社会的反抗与挑战。此处，简爱反抗性格得到了进一步增强。虽然他们彼此相爱，在简爱得知罗切斯特已经结婚时，简爱依然受到打击。除了让简爱感到难过外，也让简爱的内心产生了矛盾，留下或者离开。离开，虽然会让两人痛苦，但是能维护尊严；留下，简爱就会成为罗切斯特的情妇，却能得到荣华与富贵。简爱不接受不平等、不道德的爱情，她用自制力，克制了爱情，决心离开庄园。这不仅体现了简爱的人格魅力，同时也说明简爱能把握自己的民运。四．反抗性格的高峰 ——圣约翰

论《简爱》中的女性反抗意识

论《简爱》中的女性反抗意识《简爱》是英国作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作，这部小说成功的塑造了一个敢爱敢恨、自尊自强的新时代女性，它的问世无疑轰动了当时的整个文坛，同时也开启了女权主义文学思想的先声。

小说一共分为38章，以女主人公简爱为主线，为我们塑造了一个敢于反抗压迫追求独立自由的女性形象，并且以一个女性的眼光重新审视当时的男权世界。

作者在这部小说中刻画的简爱是一个外表并不美丽。

柔弱瘦小，没有强烈吸引力的女性形象，塑造了一个全新的女家庭教师的形象，她怀着对女权与平等的强烈追求，维护着自己的人格独立。

她不愿忍受压迫、屈辱和一切卑鄙的行为，与不公平的社会之间发生了一系列激烈的冲突。

同时，简爱的反抗意识的形成又是与她一贯追求人格的独立性和对美好未来生活的坚定信念相适应的，不公平的命运和残酷的生活是她反抗性格形成的土壤和源泉。

然而，通读全文我们可以看出，简爱的女性反抗意识的觉醒经历了五个阶段，这五个阶段分别发生在盖茨梅德府、罗沃德孤儿院、在桑菲尔德及在芬丁庄园。

（一）盖茨梅德府----女性反抗意识的觉醒-由于父母早逝，简爱的童年时期是在舅母家度过的，那不是一段快乐的时光，虽然处于一个富裕的家庭中，简爱却没有感受到一点点的关爱和温暖，大家视她为寄人篱下的一类，面对表哥的专横，表姐的傲慢，舅妈的恶意，仆人的偏见，简爱幼小的心中开始谋生了反抗的意识。

终于在一次与表哥的争执中爆发出来，那一次她忍无可忍，对蛮横无理的表哥予以强有力的回击，“wicked and cruel boy! You are like a slave driver--- you are like the Rome Emperors.”,接着便和表哥厮打起来，这一次反抗虽然让简爱受到了严厉的惩罚，但是却也是值得的，至少它让简爱明白的一味的屈服和软弱是得不到盖茨梅德府人的同情或者照顾的，只有自己强大起来才是保护自己不受伤害的基本保证面对里德太太，简爱也毫不畏惧，对她的自私及虚伪嗤之以鼻。
