女性主义视角下的文学作品解读

女性主义视角下的文学作品解读

女性主义视角下的文学作品解读在当代社会,女性主义已经成为一个广为人知的概念。

它试图揭示和批判男权主义的社会结构和性别不平等,并争取女性的平等权利和地位。

女性主义思想的影响也渗透到了文学作品中,许多作家用女性主义的视角来探讨和呈现女性的经历和命运。

本文将从女性主义视角出发,解读几部经典文学作品。

首先,我们来看看简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》。

这部小说以女性主角伊丽莎白·班纳特为中心,通过她的眼睛展示了当时英国社会中女性的境遇和束缚。

女性在那个时代的社会地位相对较低,婚姻成为她们最重要的生活目标。

然而,伊丽莎白并不甘于成为一个被动的结婚对象,她追求真爱和自我实现。

通过她的坚持和勇气,奥斯汀揭示了女性在婚姻中的权利和自主性,同时也批判了社会对女性的偏见和歧视。

接下来,我们转向查尔斯·狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》。

这部小说以孤儿奥利弗为主角,展示了当时英国社会中贫穷女性的悲惨命运。

女性在那个时代往往被视为弱势群体,她们没有独立的经济来源,容易受到剥削和虐待。

狄更斯通过描写奥利弗与一系列女性角色的互动,呈现了女性在社会中的边缘化和受压迫的现实。

同时,他也通过一些女性角色的坚韧和勇气,传递了女性主义的力量和希望。

另一个有趣的例子是雨果的《悲惨世界》。

这部小说以让-巴尔济·悲惨世界为主线,通过描写法国19世纪社会的贫富差距和社会不公,展示了女性在那个时代的艰难处境。

女性在社会中往往被视为男性的附属品,她们没有独立的人格和地位。

雨果通过描写女性角色的命运和奋斗,探讨了女性在社会中的地位和权利。

他呼吁女性争取平等和自由,为女性主义事业发出了强烈的声音。

最后,让我们来看看弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的《到灯塔去》。

这部小说以一个家庭为背景,通过描写女性的内心世界和思想,探讨了女性在社会中的角色和身份。

伍尔夫以独特的意识流手法,展示了女性在家庭和社会中的压抑和束缚。

她通过女性角色的自我反省和追求自由,呼吁女性摆脱社会对她们的限制和期望,追求真正的自我。

文学女性主义视角下的《傲慢与偏见》解读1在文学女性主义视角下的《傲慢与偏见》解读《傲慢与偏见》是英国作家简·奥斯汀的经典作品,以其细腻入微的描写和深刻的社会观察而备受赞誉。

本文将从文学女性主义的视角出发,对《傲慢与偏见》这部小说进行解读,探讨其中包含的女性主义思想。

一、女性在社会地位的困境《傲慢与偏见》的主要故事情节围绕着贝内特家的五个女儿展开。

在当时的英国社会,女性的地位相对较低,缺乏独立的经济来源和决策权,只能依附于丈夫或父亲。

小说中,贝内特家是一个没有儿子的中产阶级家庭,五个女儿的婚姻是保证家族地位和前途的重要途径。

然而,女性的婚姻并不完全是出于爱情和自由选择的结果。

小说中的女性角色纷纷背负家族的期望,被迫要在各种婚姻选择中权衡得失。

以伊丽莎白为例,她拒绝了很多有地位与财富的求婚者,最终选择嫁给了自己真正爱的人达西,反映了她对自主性和真实感情的追求。

这在当时是一种颠覆传统观念的行为,展现了女性对自身命运的把握与坚守。

二、对婚姻制度的批判小说中对婚姻制度的揭示和批判是女性主义的重要思想体现之一。

作家通过描写各种家庭、人物和婚姻情节,抨击了当时的婚姻观念和社会期许。

首先,小说中的贵族阶层几乎完全以财富和地位为基准来选择配偶,强调门当户对。

这种婚姻观念剥夺了女性的自主权,使得她们的婚姻往往成为一场交易。

而以达西为代表的角色的出现,展示了不拘泥于社会地位和财富的真爱观念。

其次,小说中通过让女性角色机智地表达自己的见解和意愿,将女性的主动性和智慧赋予了重要的地位。

例如,伊丽莎白和达西在初始相识时,因为种种误解而互相嫌弃,但通过各种场合的相处和交流,展示了女性独立思考和主动争取幸福的能力。

三、探索女性自我价值的成长女性主义强调女性的自我价值和自我实现,认为女性不应仅仅为了婚姻地位而存在。

《傲慢与偏见》中的女性角色在不同程度上展现了价值认同与成长。

伊丽莎白是一个聪明机智的女子,通过与达西的冲突和相互理解,她的成长和转变为读者展现了女性的独立意识和对爱情的坚守。

[关 键 词] 《傲慢与偏见》;女性主义;爱情观;女性叙事女性主义视角下的《傲慢与偏见》桂汐盈一、简·奥斯汀和小说《傲慢与偏见》(一)作者简介及创作背景简·奥斯汀是18世纪英国的一位杰出女性作家,也是现实主义文学的重要代表作家之一。

奥斯汀于1775年出生于英国南部的一个中产阶级家庭,尽管她没有接受过正规的教育,但是对写作产生了浓厚的兴趣。

18世纪的英国社会,男性主导着社会话语权,女性的地位非常低下,女性的生活受到各种各样的限制,许多女性只能通过婚姻来改变命运。

在这样的社会环境下,引起了一部分女性作家对婚姻制度和女性社会地位的关注与批判,她们通过作品真实地揭露了女性在婚姻中面临的种种限制和不公平待遇。

(二)小说概述《傲慢与偏见》于1813年出版时便受到了广泛的关注,小说以独特的笔触生动地描述了小乡绅班纳特五个待字闺中女儿的成长以及婚姻,对当时社会的阶级观念和女性地位进行了深入剖析。

奥斯汀巧妙地揭示了当时社会的婚姻观念、等级观念以及人性的复杂。

整部小说以幽默风趣的风格刻画了丰富的人物形象,展现了不同性格和立场的人在爱情和生活中的误解、挣扎和成长,成为经典的爱情小说之一。

二、《傲慢与偏见》中女性主义的体现(一)小说中的女性形象奥斯汀在小说《傲慢与偏见》中刻画了许多具有代表性的女性形象。

其中,既有具有那个时代普遍特征的女性形象,又有以伊丽莎白为代表的独立自主的崭新的女性形象。

《傲慢与偏见》的女性意识

《傲慢与偏见》的女性意识

《傲慢与偏见》的女性意识一、本文概述《傲慢与偏见》是19世纪英国女作家简·奥斯汀的代表作,通过细腻的笔触,刻画了贝内特家族五位女儿的婚恋故事,展示了18世纪末到19世纪初英国乡镇生活和世态人情。

本文旨在探讨《傲慢与偏见》中所体现的女性意识。

在这部小说中,奥斯汀不仅通过女主角伊丽莎白·贝内特的成长和婚姻选择,反映了当时英国女性所面临的生存状况和社会期望,同时也借助伊丽莎白这一形象,表达了她对女性独立意识、自尊和自强的深刻理解与独到见解。

通过对小说中的女性角色、婚恋观念、社会习俗等方面的分析,本文将进一步揭示《傲慢与偏见》所蕴含的女性意识及其在当时社会背景下的重要性和意义。

二、女性意识的觉醒与独立《傲慢与偏见》中的女性角色,尤其是主角伊丽莎白·班纳特,是简·奥斯汀笔下女性意识觉醒与独立的典范。

在19世纪的英国社会,女性往往被视为男性的附属品,她们的生活、婚姻和命运往往被社会和家庭所决定。

然而,在《傲慢与偏见》中,伊丽莎白却展现出了强烈的独立意识和自我意识,这无疑是对当时社会观念的一种挑战。

伊丽莎白的独立意识首先体现在她对婚姻的看法上。

她拒绝接受那种仅仅基于经济利益和社会地位考虑的婚姻,而是坚持寻找真正的爱情和尊重。

她坚决反对母亲和姐姐们那种“嫁个有钱人就好”的想法,认为婚姻应该建立在相互尊重和理解的基础上。

这种对婚姻的看法,不仅体现了她的独立意识,也显示了她对女性地位和价值的深刻认识。

伊丽莎白的独立意识还体现在她对社会的态度上。

她敢于挑战社会的偏见和傲慢,不畏强权,坚持自我。

例如,当达西先生初次出现时,他傲慢的态度让所有人都对他产生了偏见。

然而,伊丽莎白却不受他人影响,坚持自己的观察和判断。

她最终发现达西先生并非外界所描述的那样,而是个有着高尚品质和深厚感情的人。

这种对社会偏见的挑战和对自我认知的坚持,无疑展现了她的独立和勇气。

伊丽莎白的独立意识还体现在她的职业选择上。

从女性主义角度解读《傲慢与偏见》中的突破与局限[权威资料]

从女性主义角度解读《傲慢与偏见》中的突破与局限摘要:本文从女性主义角度探讨简・奥斯汀的代表作《傲慢与偏见》中的突破与局限。

此篇作品对于女性主义的突破之处在于性别角色的塑造强烈对比,即男性形象被弱化,女性形象被强化,在道德理念中体现女性特有的视角,与此同时,局限性体现在女性角色的命运始终逃不过最终与男性结婚而收场,并且在经济上依赖男性,在爱情中处于被动地位,作者价值观念的形成受当时男权社会背景以及个人经历所束缚。

这篇作品对女性主义的发展有着启蒙作用,也具有现实意义。

[]:I106 []:A[]:1002-2139(2016)-21-0-02引言:英国女性小说家简・奥斯汀生于1775年,英国女作家、文学批评家和文学理论家弗吉尼亚・伍尔芙称其为“最完美的女艺术家” (Gilbert:330)。

美国知名批评家埃德蒙・威尔逊认为,在英国小说作家中,简・奥斯汀可以与莎士比亚相媲美,受到读者稳定的喜爱(朱虹:1)。

奥斯汀的作品提倡人性本善,人要追求理性,并且有相当程度的自我节制,英国批评家弗・雷・利维斯称其为“英国小说大家”(利维斯:1)。

奥斯汀的作品主要聚焦于英国中产阶层乡村女性的婚姻和家庭生活,女性主义思潮兴起之后,作品中的女性主义视角也逐渐引起了关注。

1983年,玛格丽特・柯卡姆在她的成名作《简・奥斯汀:女权主义与小说》(柯卡姆,1983)中就以女性主义视角通过研究女权启蒙运动对简・奥斯汀的小说进行了全面探讨。

在《简・奥斯汀:女权主义与小说》中,她重点探讨了简・奥斯汀的女权意识,例如简・奥斯汀作品中对于女性角色的关注,对女性文学发展的作用等。

2005 年,玛格丽特・沃特斯在其作品《女权主义简史》(沃特斯:188)中,将简・奥斯汀列为“执笔的亚马逊女战士”之一。

国内文学评论家一部分从伦理学出发,如周青、王尧等探索小说中的道德理念,另一部分从女性主义出发,如朝阳、刘戈等分析简・奥斯汀对男权视角下某些观念的反驳。

女性主义

女性主义

《傲慢与偏见》女性主义思想的表现:在当时,英国正处于工业革命之中。

人们对经济的疯狂追求以及女性生活范围的限制带来了一个严重后果.就是忽视了女性的教育。

当时社会的普遍看法是一个女性应该以家庭为中,她的主要责任就是把照顾好自己的丈大和亲人。

由此,女性受教育的机会自然会受到很大的限制。

奥斯丁在她的《傲慢与偏见》中详尽而真实的描述了这种现象。

在《傲慢与偏见》中,伊丽莎白就是她选定的代言人。

奥斯丁尽力把她刻画成为19世纪妇女小说中最为精彩的人物。

原因在于1、伊丽莎自具有敏锐的观察力和判断力。

她的这种敏锐的观察力和判断力反映了她独立思维的能力。

奥斯丁正是通过对伊丽莎白的性格的描写以及她对达西由偏见刭爱慕和达西对她由傲慢到爱慕这一系列过程.反映了女性独立意识的觉醒。

而奥斯丁让伊丽莎白与达西双方摈弃傲慢与偏见的过程贯穿整部书的始终.则暗示了女性地位的提高绝不是一朝一夕的过程;2、伊丽莎自是一个具有才智的女性。

她的这一特征在她与达西复杂而巧妙的讨论中得到了淋漓尽致的体现。

在一次对话中,伊丽莎白声称她可以完全理解彬格莱的性格.而彬格莱则回答说并不知道她以前是个研究人性的专家。

他对伊丽莎自说:“那一定是一门很有趣的学同吧。

“不错,”伊丽莎白道。

“可是最有趣的还是研究复杂的性格,至少这样的性格有研究的价值,”达西说:一般说来,乡下人可以作为这种研究对象的就是少。

因为在乡下你的四周的环境非常闭塞,很少变化。

”“可是人们本身的变动那么多,他们身上永远有新的东西值得你去注意。

”这段对话充分表明伊丽莎白的才智、敏锐的观察力和辩论才气,深入本质地洞察事物;3、伊丽莎白很喜欢读书,很有幽默感;4、伊丽莎白是一个叛逆性很强的女性。

根据当时社会的普遍观念.女孩应该文雅,举止得体,时时处处表现她们的贵族气质。

然而,伊丽莎白却鄙视社会的传统价值观,看不起社会等级的划分和金钱,她从不取悦任何人,如果认为自己是正确的,她宁愿冒犯别人,也不会不因为等级和财富而畏缩。

文学女性主义视角下的《傲慢与偏见》解读文学女性主义视角下的《傲慢与偏见》解读《傲慢与偏见》是英国女作家简·奥斯汀的经典之作,以描绘19世纪英国中产阶级家庭为背景,展现了社会上对女性的种种偏见和压迫。

本文将从文学女性主义的角度对这部小说进行解读,探讨女性角色的自我意识觉醒、家庭地位与婚姻选择、社会限制与性别平等等议题。

一、女性角色的自我意识觉醒在《傲慢与偏见》中,女性角色展现了较高的自我意识觉醒。

作者通过伊丽莎白·班纳特这一主要女性角色,展示了她对自我的认知和价值观的塑造。

伊丽莎白敢于对传统观念提出质疑,不满足于传统女性角色。

她拒绝了多次的婚姻提议,坚持追求自己的幸福和自由。

对于傲慢的达西先生,她不向命运屈服,勇敢地捍卫自我。

这种自我意识觉醒为文学女性主义提供了有力的表达。

二、家庭地位与婚姻选择在《傲慢与偏见》中,家庭地位和婚姻选择是女性关注的重要议题。

作者通过班纳特家庭的描写,突显了当时社会对女性的家庭地位的重视。

班纳特夫妇没有儿子,女儿们必须依靠婚姻来获得经济保障和社会地位。

作者通过班纳特夫妇对女儿们婚姻的不同看法,反映了婚姻选择对女性未来的影响。

这使得女性被迫在经济和感情之间做出选择,展现了当时社会对女性的限制。

三、社会限制与性别平等《傲慢与偏见》中揭示了当时社会对女性的各种限制和对性别平等的不公。

女性在社会上缺乏独立和自主的地位,被迫依附于男性。

作者通过各个女性角色的展现,揭示出女性无法继承财产、无法参与政治等社会限制。

同时,通过班纳特先生的女儿们的打破旧规则的努力,呼吁社会对性别平等的重视,并表达了女性们对自由和平等的渴望。

综上所述,从文学女性主义视角解读《傲慢与偏见》可以看出,小说通过女性角色的自我意识觉醒、家庭地位与婚姻选择、社会限制与性别平等等议题,揭示了当时社会对女性的偏见和压迫。

它不仅是一部文学佳作,更是对女性地位与权益的深刻反思,激发了人们对性别平等的思考和追求。

主人公伊丽莎白在经历了对富家公子求婚的拒绝、冷漠和 鄙视后,真正的开始了解富家公子达西,为了强烈的自尊,再 一次拒绝了达西的求婚,直到达西真正的感受到伊丽莎白的 人格魅力,并爱上她时,两个人才因为爱情走到一起,这时 的爱情是女性主义觉醒的见证;大姐吉英由被动的接受,到经 历层层困难,在众人的帮助下获得爱情,也是女性主义的一种 觉醒。《傲慢与偏见》中的众多女性最开始从传统社会的服从 者,在伊丽莎白的帮助和带领下收获幸福,都是对传统男女不 平等婚姻关系的一种挑战,说明众多的女性已经开始具备女性 主义的意识。
(三)监督是关键。“阳光是最好的防腐剂。”权力也只 有接受监督和制约,增加透明度,才能不被滥用。正如有的领 导干部说的那样,要学会在监督下生活。应进一步拓宽监督 渠道,把党内监督和人大监督、政协监督、行政监督、司法 监督、舆论监督、社会监督等很好地结合起来,逐步形成全方 位、多层次的监督网络。特别是要强化群众监督,把领导干部 的作风、行为置于人民群众“雪亮的眼睛”的注视下。目前我 们大力推行的党务、政务公开以及一些地方开展的行风热线、 万人评议等活动都是接受群众监督的好形式。应进一步扩大监 督的视野和范围,切实做到领导干部的权力行使到哪里、活动 延伸到哪里,监督就跟踪到哪里。通过加强监督,及时发现和 纠正领导干部在作风方面存在的问题,防止不良风气继续侵蚀 和蔓延。
《傲慢与偏见》以女性的视角为主线,描写了生活在父权 和男权之间的一些女性奋力追求生活独立与尊严的故事。作品 以个性活波、机智聪慧的伊丽莎白为核心人物,围绕她的生活 展开了一场关于婚姻生活的大戏。伊丽莎白是中产阶级贝纳家 五个女儿中的一个,重金主义的母亲对富家公子达西和宾利产 生了好感,安排女儿见面,大女儿与富家公子宾利进展顺利, 伊丽莎白则不屑于和达西交流,经过重重实践解开了两人的误 会和偏见,最后五个女儿都收获了美满的婚姻。

《傲慢与偏见》中的女性主义解读

《傲慢与偏见》中的女性主义解读

摘要:简奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》被认为是具有女性觉醒意识的代表作,作品描述了18-19世纪英国中产阶级女性的日常生活,体现了男权社会中女性的柔弱气质、他者角色和依附地位;再现了当时中产阶级女性的从属生活以及简奥斯汀希望女性发展双性气质,形成双性化人格,建立双重性别角色,获得独立思考和判断能力的女性觉醒意识。

关键词:女性主义;女性意识;男权社会;社会地位简奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》发表于1813年,是作者最早创作且最成熟的作品之一,但很长时期未引起文学界的注目。

早期的评论认为她描述的世界太有限,只是对日常生活的简单而真实的描述。

直到20世纪,随着女权运动的蓬勃发展,越来越多的批评家认为奥斯汀是批判当时社会的反叛女性主义作家,她的主题是揭露妇女在父权社会中所受的种种压迫和歧视。

1932年,丽贝卡韦斯特在小说再版前言中赞誉简是“非常有女权主义意识”的作家,她把“强烈的情感和大胆的思想”付于一场妇女社会地位的讨论之中。

[1](P221)1973年,I loved Brown声称,奥斯汀与她同时代的女性主义作家雷同,都是对当时以男性为主的家长制社会的挑战。

Warren Roberts也称奥斯汀的作品中“文雅”的女性世界,表现了她的女性主义思想。

[2](p228)有些男性评论家批评简的作品不忍卒读,因为太女性化了。

然而正是这女性化的作品批驳了男权社会对女性的偏见。

18世纪时,以弥尔顿和卢梭为代表的男子主义的偶像仍然宣扬,女子的顺从和软弱是吸引男子的手段。

启蒙理性思想促进人们对女性生活的关注,但“他们并不要求在法律上和宪法里改变妇女的地位,他们只想用理性的论据驳倒男子的偏见。

”[3](p152-153)继玛丽沃斯通克拉夫特的《妇女权利辩白》之后,简奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》全面展示了这一时期中产阶级“家里的天使”[4](p168)的悲哀生活,反映了当时妇女的气质、角色和地位,揭示了当时英国社会男尊女卑的现象。

在18-19世纪父权文化一统天下的时代,可以说是女权意识萌芽的反映也为后来的女权运动奠定了一定的基础,在女权运动向全世界纵深发展的今天,研究《傲慢与偏见》中的女性生活仍有“饮水思源”般的现实意义。

从《傲慢与偏见》浅析简·奥斯汀女性主义意识

从《傲慢与偏见》浅析简·奥斯汀女性主义意识摘要《傲慢与偏见》因独特的叙事角度和艺术性语言而被文学界称道。

同时,它又是一部公认的女性主义题材小说。

本文通过对小说作者生平的简述、女主人公伊莉莎白的性格分析以及作者写作特点的总结,浅析简?奥斯汀在《傲慢与偏见》中表达出的女性主义意识。

关键词生平简述性格分析写作特点总结女性主义意识一、生平简述19世纪的英国是一个女性主义文学群体崛起的时代,其先锋人物非简?奥斯汀莫属。

她是英国文学史上最早在其作品中体现女性意识的作家之一。

她的代表作《傲慢与偏见》被认为是当时女性主义意识的体现。

而这又与她本人的背景和经历密切先关。

简?奥斯汀,1775年12月生于英国汉普郡的史蒂文顿一个教区牧师家庭。

兄弟姐妹共八人,她排行第7,是家中第二个女儿。

她的父亲学问渊博,母亲也具有一定的文化修养,因此家中藏书众多。

这些优越条件都为奥斯汀提供了良好的自学条件和优良的读书环境,并培养了她写作的兴趣。

于是,从十三四岁开始,简?奥斯汀就开始了文学创作,显示出她在语言表达方面的才能。

然而,对于19世纪大多数女性而言,她们只能止步于大学校门前。

而男性则可以在大学中找到志同道合者,或组织聚会进行激烈讨论,或寻访前辈名师来获得点拨,以获得更快和更大的进步,并最终走出校园,在文学界崭露头角,如19世纪的华兹华斯、S?T?柯尔律治等人。

相比之下,奥斯汀被禁锢在家,接受传统的私人家教式教育,只能从大量阅读中汲取思想。

二、伊莉莎白的性格分析《傲慢与偏见》曾多次被改编并搬上荧幕。

最近的一次是2005年由乔?怀特执导的同名影片。

其中凯拉?奈特利饰演女主人公伊莉莎白,她娴熟的演技不仅赢得了原著读者的心,更将主人公伊莉莎白勇敢理性的性格和独立自爱的婚姻观塑造得入木三分。

伊莉莎白的性格不同于同时代其他小说中的女主角。

她既聪明幽默又不失理智,有着敏锐的头脑和独立的判断力。

正如她的父亲本奈特先生评价的那样:“她总是在一些问题上比她的姐妹们更敏锐。

An Analysis of Feminism in Pride and Prejudice 浅析《傲慢与偏见》中的女性主义An Analysis of Feminism in Pride and Prejudice小说《傲慢与偏见》是女性主义文学的代表作,作者简·奥斯汀成功地塑造了一名女性主义先驱——伊丽莎白。

伊丽莎白追求人格独立和平等权利,敢于同封建礼教相对抗,她不顾世俗,追求自由平等的婚姻关系,这些都体现了浓厚的女性主义思想。

但深究其内,作者所表达的女性主义思想是不全面的,这就使作品在不知不觉中又落入父权中心主义的窠臼。

比如作品中的平等观念以及阶级意识不够明确,故事的展开只能建立在“同一阶级”这一基础上, 而小说中所存在的反叛精神不够彻底的情况,以及趋于完美的婚姻设置等都是作者受父权中心主义影响的产物,当今女性主义文学的创作症结就在于深受男权意识影响。

本文通过分析《傲慢与偏见》中的女性主义,旨在为女性创作提供经验。

IntroductionPride and Prejudice is a typical masterpiece of realism in the 18th century, which reflects the feminist thought and has attracted the attention of the readers. So many scholars have conducted extensive researches on it. The academic study of pride and prejudice from the perspective of feminism, with feminist criticism method, reflects the women in all aspects of independent thinking, but there are few articles mentioned the existing limitations of feminism in the novel. In the fiction, the author by creating new women image — Elizabeth, expressed dissatisfaction with the present situation of women at that time, showed advanced feminist awareness of the mainstream in the patriarchal society. Influenced by the society at that time, the awareness of male authority has been deeply embedded into the author‟s ideology, which also appears in the novel, and is common in today‟s feminist work.2. The Embodiment of Feminism in the NovelThe 19th century is the bud of feminism; in the meantime, “the UK has produced a large number of ideological deep, passionate, radical political writers. Their education and grow through writing to explore women, marriage, family, economy and other issues, both showed a sharp feminist thought.”(Chen, 2001:25) Therefore, Jane Austen has also been influenced by the trend. In the novel Pride and Prejudice, one of the most representative characters is Elizabeth with a rebellious spirit, who was different from other characters in the novel. Elizabeth is independent, with a strong self-esteem, dares to challenge the political correctness, to pursue their happy marriage of new women, and she is one of the most representative characteristics of feminism. In this work, the author presents the phenomenon of gender discrimination in British society, reveals the social restrictions on women and shows the advanced female consciousness from a special female perspective. The following contents will analyze the feminism of Pride and Prejudice from the pursuit of independent personality and equal right, the revolt against the feudal moral and the pursuit of freedom and equality of marriage.2.1 The Pursuit of Independence and Equal RightsIn Britain at that time, due to economic independence, women have been in a state of being dominant, thus become subservient to the men. “Women only in male pocket, men are dominated in family and society, and the center. In both physically and intellectually women are supposed to be the weak of the society, women do not enjoy equal rights with men”.(Wang, 2004:17) But Jane Austen is strongly opposed to the roles of social consciousness, said that men and women should have the same rights, stupid, vulnerability is not only the exclusive terms of women. If women receive the same formal education as men, women can be as smart, rational as men.The so-called independent personality refers to p erson‟s independence, autonomy, creativity, which requires people not to depend on any external authority, and not attached to any real political power. In Pride and Prejudice, the writer shaped a beautiful, witty, bold and lively character—Elizabeth, who is different from the other women in the novel, she is sanity and reasonable new woman, who has her own judgment and independent consciousness and has her own original ideas. At the time of the society under the rule of patriarchy, Elizabeth is a very attractive woman. For the choice of marriage, she doesn‟t want to be limited by the lives of their parents and their arrangement. When the heir to the property of his father Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth, though mother pressures to Elizabeth again and again, Elizabeth finally flatly refused. She doesn‟t want to be tied down by a secular marriage, refused to accept a marriage without love. However, when the hero Darcy proposes to Elizabeth, Elizabeth was angered by the arrogance of Darcy and straightforwardly refused Darcy‟s proposal. This behavior was very incredible at that time. Because of D arcy‟s property or social status is the most of women‟s dream at that time. But Elizabeth wants a marriage which is based on mutual admiration, mutual respect, rather than a class business marriage.Female subordination was very common in the 18th century of England, but in Pride and Prejudice the heroine Elizabeth had been striving for equal status between men and women. In the novel, Elizabeth is not inferior to men, so that the arrogant Darcy eventually abandons his arrogance and marries Elizabeth. At the same time,Elizabeth‟s performance is more rational, decisive than hesitant Mr. Bingley. Among them, the author also specially shaped love flattery, curry favor with powerful, silly Mr. Collins and simple, moody Mrs. Bennett to prove words like intelligent, reasonable etc. are not only synonymous with men. Both women and men have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, women should enjoy the same rights with men.2.2 The Opposition to Feudal Moral18th-century in Britain is covered by the patriarchal culture. Women don‟t have equal education rights, and their role in life was decided by men. The focus of the female life is housework and taking care of children, and be “the angel in the home”, which makes women gradually withdrew from the social stage. But Elizabeth is a typical rebellious character, who wouldn‟t be limited by the feudal creed and does not recognize the fact that woman has no talent and unwilling to become the victim of political correctness. As a result, the protagonist Elizabeth against ethical code can be divided into the following two aspects:One aspect is that the women‟s acceptance in education. At that time in Britain, men and women do not have the same education rights due to the influence of patriarchalism. The natural obligation of woman is attached to the man; take care of family and child. The wisdom of the woman should not be showed in knowledge or degree, but in singing, playing the piano, painting, doing housework, etc. In Pride and Prejudice, says Mr. Bingley, as long as women can decorate stage desk, adorn screen, woven bag, etc., can be defined as talented women. It is not hard to see, at the time of the society, women‟s“innocence”has achieved a tacit attitude in the men‟s minds, and became a kind of social identity. They don‟t want woman to accept normal education, also just put their training to their education to meet the requirements of the male ideal. But the heroine Elizabeth does not agree with it, and even showed a kind of defiance. Influenced by Mr. Benet, she loves reading. When the sisters are discussing a variety of men, she likes to stay in a quiet place alone with a book. In the novel Pride and Prejudice the opening scenes is Elizabeth holding a book in the home, while the other girl is not in play combat, but practicing the piano. Thus verifies whatMr. Bennett said, “They have none of them much to recommended them. They are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters”(Austen, 1993). When Elizabeth visits Lady Catherine, Lady Catherine asks Elizabeth about the girl family education, Elizabeth answers honestly. Actually, she can play piano, but she says she only knows a little. In Elizabeth‟s view, this is just a worldly game.The other aspect is in manners. “Self-control, lives in seclusion, roll with the punches, virtuous, at the time of the British is considered to be under patriarchy women shall abide by the code of ethics, also can saying is women should have a fair maiden quality”.(Liu, 2009(03):4) But the heroine Elizabeth is against “women‟s”for many times, such as the opposition regardless of her family at that time, walking in the rain to visit her sick sister, although very mess, even being laughed at by Miss Bingley; She doesn‟t attach herself to people in power, such as she repulse Mr. Darcy‟s offer of marriage, though he is rich; She is not makes up to dignitaries as their agents, when she is in Mrs. Catherine‟s home, everybody curries favor with lady Catherine, but Elizabeth sits there quietly. For Mrs. Catherine‟s ironic question, Elizabeth also refuted, face to face without hesitation to maintain the dignity of the family.Due to the time that the women do not have family property inheritance, so Mrs. Bennett is eager to let five daughters marry, and under the condition of the oldest daughter is not married, the rest of the four daughters have been went out for social intercourse at the same time. In the 18th century England, this kind of behavior is a very unreasonable, but Elizabeth‟s is not agree with it. So when Catherine asked Mrs. Elizabeth‟s younger sister, Elizabeth was not afraid to tell Mrs. Catherine her sisters are already out communication, Mrs. Catherine said something pretty incredible, but Elizabeth said, “If only because the elder sister can‟t marry early, or don‟t want to marry early, can‟t do sister out social and entertainment, it is too bitter. The smallest and the largest also have the right to digest the youth. I don‟t think it can do that promote sisterly true feelings, also can‟t form a gentle character.”(Austen, 1993) Elizabeth‟s clever; irony answer expressed her opposition to Mrs. Catherine‟sdecadent ideas, and dissatisfaction with the feudal ethical code and contempt.2.3 The Pursuit of Freedom and Equality of MarriageIn the beginning of Pride and Prejudice, “all bachelors with property must need to marry a wife, and it has become a universally acknowledged truth.”In Jane Austen‟s times, women‟s marriage is not based on “lov e”,but based on the “economy”. This kind of marriage with utilitarian color is opposed by the author, and then the author, shaping the heroine Elizabeth, conveys her calls for opposition with secular opinions about love.In the novel Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth‟s marriage is built on love, on the basis of mutual respect for each other. So when she hears that Charlotte will marry to Collins, she feels very sad. She doesn‟t believe this utilitarian marriage can bring happiness to her friend. At the same time, on impulse, her sister Lydia elopes with Wickham; Elizabeth hated this kind of behavior, too. In her view, only the marriage based on love can be happy forever.In the novel, we can see money, status and power are playing a decisive role among female marriage. This marriage, apparently does not involve feelings, is pure economic problem. Social elites are valued not for their moral character and behavior, social role, but for their money, farms, houses, furniture, carriage, garden and so on. Darcy‟s cousin, colonel William is an earl‟s younger son, who can‟t inherit property and the title. He said frankly to Elizabeth, profligate spending, money has become the important factor in his marriage. Regardless of the mother‟s objection, Elizabeth resolutely rejected her family heir Mr. Collins‟s proposal. She is not willing to accept the settling of marriage. Because of Mr. Darcy arrogance, Elizabeth chose to refuse Mr. Darcy‟s proposal.By shaping the character of Elizabeth, the author suggests that marriage should not be dominate and influenced by others. Women should adopt a positive attitude to the secular marriage challenges, and dare to break through the connective with secular opinions about love, brave to pursue their own happiness, get rid of the marriage built on money, status, realize the equality between men and women in marriage.3. The Limitation of Feminism in the NovelIn the novel Pride and Prejudice, the representative figure --Elizabeth, although is constantly with feudal political correctness, her happiness eventually established on the basis of marrying a rich man, which clearly shows that the author compromise on the society. “Since childhood grew up in the living environment and the influence of parents, Jane Austen‟s novel material always locate in the English countryside and neighborhood middle class life, she described the characters in the novel life are very familiar with”. (Yu, 1997:296) Social reality makes Jean Austen can‟t walk out of the country life, and her view is not very open, and real life didn‟t give the author an open space. So some critics considered works of Jean Austen material single, conservative, and they also think that some of her work too feminine. In the fiction, it is not hard to see that the traditional patriarchalism or can control w omen‟s lives, females have to succumb to the male oppression. “In politics, economy, society and life and so on many aspects still have no voice.”(Lin, 2004:15), In short, the novel to a certain extent, reflects that Austin is influenced by conservative patriarchal ideology, the feminism she wants to express still has some limitations, which includes the following aspects: 3.1 Unclear Concept of EqualityFrom the novel Pride and Prejudice, the author‟s sensitive class consciousness can be seen, and her characters also have a distinct class sense of hierarchy. Although in the novel, the author did not describe the intense class conflict, the author‟s class consciousness can be expressed through her negative attitude for marry into a proper family and mercenary marriage. The characters in Pride and Prejudice basically belong to three classes: at the top is Darcy and his aunt who is a duchess with power, they represent the noble class; In the middle class is Mr. Bingley, he represents the emerging upstarts, known as the “new”; and at the bottom of the class is Mr. Bennett, representing the ordinary gentleman. The combination of Elizabeth and Darcy represents the noble class with ordinary gentleman “marriage”.Despite the striking reality in every social class in the eyes of Jane Austen, by shaping the characters of Elizabeth and Darcy, the author has tried to jump the class nature of social disorder,which contributed to the combination of “pride”and “prejudice”, strived to achieve the equality between men and women. But in the novel the author advocates the equality of men and women status, as well as on the social class relations not real beyond the equality of the bourgeois class.First of all, in pursuit of equality between men and women, the protagonist Elizabeth and Darcy in both property and social status have certain disparity. The hero Darcy in the nobility of the society, have the hereditary property, the farms, with revenues of ten thousand pounds a year. And the heroine Elizabeth is just an ordinary ge ntleman‟s daughter locating at the bottom of the society, who gets only “4 per mile of one thousand pound”from her mother. However, Darcy doesn‟t care the gap between him and Elizabeth, and marries to the lower gentleman‟s daughter. Compared with Darcy, on the contrary, Lady Catherine is thrusting, and does not forget the rank order. When she learns that her nephew proposes to the lower gentleman‟s daughter Elizabeth, she goes to Elizabeth‟s home, looks down on Elizabeth and her class origin, and points out that the class differences between her and Darcy. But Elizabeth‟s says, “He is a gentleman, I am a gentleman‟s daughter, at this point we are equal.”(Austen, 1993) Clearly, in the novels of Jane Austen, although the author has been striving for equal social status between men and women, the author just said they are “basi cally”belonging to the same class. Elizabeth and D arcy‟s equality establish in the same class under the background of the implementation of equal, namely with the gentlemen class, and this is the reason why Elizabeth can stand erect before Darcy and Lady Catherine these noble. Thus it can be seen that the author‟s advocating of equality of men and women‟s status is not thorough enough, the author has not really pursued this equality in the various social aspects, just looking for compromise and retrogression.Secondly, performance in aligning with upper class; there are three levels in the novel: the noble class, the “nouveau riche”class, the gentleman class. Mr. Darcy, aristocratic class in society, the first time he comes out, and people are widely rumored that he has an income of ten thousand pounds a year, the male guest praised his wisdom, and the female guests praised his good looks. In the whole party, all people looked at him with love almost half a night. Finally they discovered he isarrogant, looks down on people, so everyone begins to dislike him. Although everyone has the negative emotions about Darcy, he has the authority that no one dares to challenge. On behalf of the newly rich Bingley trust the representative of the aristocracy Darcy, even his marriage happiness is controlled by Darcy. Darcy‟s cousin Fitzwilliam and Darcy‟s sister Georgiana also obey the arrangement of Darcy. Among them, when Elizabeth asks Colonel Fitzwilliam when to leave, his answer is listening to Darcy. All of them reflect Darcy‟s authority. Elizabeth refuses to Darcy because of his arrogance, but when she finds herself has been deep in love with Darcy, says: “He is proud, not like the pride of the ordinary people. Such a good youth, good family, and have money, everything is better than somebody else, it is no wonder that he pride. As I said, he had the right to pride.”(Austen, 1993) Darcy and the heroine finally married. And Elizabeth‟s elder sister Jean marry to Mr. Bingley, who representative the “new class”. From here, it is easy to see that Elizabeth, Jane on behalf of ordinary gentleman class is gradually close to the noble class. Jane Austen still doesn‟t get rid of the limitation of noble ideas, is still affected by the traditional consciousness of noble.3.2 Incomplete Rebellious SpiritIn Pride and Prejudice, the heroine Elizabeth is an independent personality that dares to break through the representative of the secular bondage, and braves to pursuit of happy marriage. For example, when she hears that Jane was ill, walking in the rain to Netherfield to visit sick sister despite of her family‟s opposition; when Darcy expresses love to Elizabeth for the first time, she decisively rejected, refused to accept the charity of marriage and so on. Through those things, it is not hard to see Elizabeth‟s contempt and discontent for feudal political. And she is a typical representative of rebellious spirit who not willing to marry based on money and social status.However, Elizabeth‟s defiance is not thorough. First of all, it performs at women depend on men on economy. In the 19th-century of Britain, women with no economic foundation has been under the oppression of patriarchy society. “Economic foundation determines superstructure”, which directly tell people that economicindependence is unavailable to status in the society. Similarly, in pride and prejudice, because of women‟s economic independence, women have to rely on his father as well as the future husband, which makes them lose the right of speech at home and in marriage life, so that ultimately Elizabeth did not escape the arrangement of social reality because of her economic dependence, and married Darcy who comes from wealthy family. During this period, because women have no real property inheritance, women still depend on men. Women‟s status is obviously low. In Pride and Prejudice, the role of Elizabeth defined by the author did not consider going out to find a career to get economic independence, to change her present situation, but just stay at home. Facing that the closest relatives of blood relationship inherit the property, she has never questioned, but slowly accepted it. In this case, for the hard choices of the unknown future life, the heroine could only marry a man who has financial security and respected status in society. Obviously, Elizabeth does not get rid of the control of man on economy and the subordinate status to get real independence. Our protagonist Elizabeth from beginning to end are not out of her own home, which shows that at last the author did not establish the independent female consciousness.Second, the performances of the women have been in a passive waiting for status. In Britain at that time, women are in a disadvantageous position both in class and gender. In the novel, the only way of social activity for women is dance. Mrs. Bennett has been urged their daughters to take part in all kinds of ball in order to be able to let his daughter have a good home to return to, and the protagonist Elizabeth also went to the PROM consciously for the same purpose. Elizabeth is snubbed by Darcy at a party and in the following Darcy‟s first proposal is vehemently refused. In the novel, Elizabeth is hostile to Darcy intentionally, though she had another kind of feeling from the beginning, she dare not to admit this kind of feeling. “When Darcy proposed to her for the first time, she was actually pleasantly and surprised, but she performance was angry, and these angry though Jane and Wickham as an excuse, but true on Darcy, Elizabeth at both hate and love the contradiction in the mood.”(Pan, 2004:256) Next after Darcy has made a series of changes, and corrected the too much arrogance attitude, Elizabeth begins to regret her former attitude. But she doesn‟t fightfor her own happiness, just waiting for Darcy‟s proposal again. Visible, in contact with Darcy, the hero Elizabeth has been in a passive position. During this period, Elizabeth is familiar with Wickham, and attracted by his gentility, but she doesn‟t express her love, too. Her sister Jane also is in a passive position. When Jane meets Mr. Bingley at a party, she is deeply attracted by Mr. Bingley, but due to the so-called “lady” character, Jane does not dare to express her thoughts too much, so that almost missing her love. Thus it can be seen that women in the novel all follow the custom of the typical patriarchal society, quietly waiting for the pursuit of men. “Visible, in the author‟s mind, patriarchal ideology, women are not fundamentally getting rid of the economic dependency on men, failed to get rid of by men subordinate position of choice”. (Chen, 2012, (04):4)3.3 The Pursuit of Perfect MarriageIn Pride and Prejudice, the center of the novel is marriage. So the book is talking about the marriage and money, marriage and position and marriage and love. In Pride and Prejudice, because of the relationship between money and marriage that makes the young men‟s course of love is full of frustration. But because of the happy endings in Pride and Prejudice, it is unavoidable for people to ask, “Does this kind of perfect marriage really exists in British at that time? The bondage of marriage really can span class differences?”In the novel, Mrs. Be net‟s life is to marry his daughter, for the daughters to seek a better husband. In this regard, Be net‟s five daughters have their own strongpoint: gentle Jean, smart and lively Elizabeth, wooden Mary and flirtatious Lydia. The author is like a god who assigns the ideal husband to her favorite characters as a reward, but for those little girls in improper behavior has an unhappy marriage or lives alone. For example, the eldest daughter Jane who is kind, meet and gentle, is a representative of the fair maiden. She has strong self-control but lack of self judgment, and beauty and character is her superiority, and obtaining B ingley‟s love is the reward for her. The second daughter, Elizabeth, is the author‟s favorite role. She is the only one who has a clear understanding for their own family and the weakness of this class, and her beauty, independent self-esteem, lively to win the love of Darcy. She got abigger reward - become the capable mistress of Pemberley manor. And beautiful and frivolous Lydia is completely not disciplined, who lacks of education and there is no shame in her mind. She is controlled by lust and flirting with officers unscrupulously. Finally she marries to Wickman who is humble and extravagant. And third daughter Mary who is wooden, average intelligence want to prove her talent everywhere, until at the end of this novel she is unable to find their own “Mr. R ight”. Above all, in A usten‟s novels, as long as women own the wisdom, manner, independence can across the social barriers and get together with there beloved. Hero‟s ingenuity seems to be a kind of tool that helps them to find their fare, and does not have effects on other ways.In general, because of the living environment makes Jane Austen can‟t walk out of the country, and her social activity confined to the gentle class and within the church. “Excluded from certain kinds of life experiences, so her …three or four families of rural village‟, is not so much her artistic talent, she consciously in art and helpless choice, she just lucky noted down her era” (Lefroy, 2002:90).4. ConclusionJane Austen‟s feminist consciousness has been clearly analyzed in her masterpiece Pride and Prejudice. Austen uses woman‟s unique observation to describe a small word around her, especially among the ladies marriages and love affairs. The heroine, Elizabeth is full of wisdom and independent of thinking that embodies feminist consciousness. But the feminist expressed by author is not comprehensive, which makes it unconsciously fall into the trap of patriarchalism again. For example the concept of quality and class consciousness in the works is not clear. And rebellious spirit of the novel is not thorough, and the pursuit of perfect marriage settings and so on are because the author is influenced by the patriarchalism, Nowadays feminist literary is greatly influenced by the patriarchalism, and the study of Pride and Prejudice from the perspective of feminist can provide experience for female writing.Bibliography[1] Duckworth,Alistair.The Improvement of the Estate:A S tudy of Jane Austen’sNovels.
