名利场人物性格分析英文版读后感 Word 文档

《名利场》的故事以两条线索展开，从同一个起点出发，相互交织，最后到达同一个终点。

其中一条线索讲述善良、笨拙、生活在富有家庭中的女子阿米莉亚·塞德利；另一条线索讲述的是一个机灵、自私、放荡不羁恢穷的孤女丽贝卡·夏普。

两人于1813年乘坐同一辆马车离开平克顿女子学校。两人都在遭到家庭反对的情况下，于1815年结婚，分别嫁给即将参加滑铁卢战役的两名英国军官。

新婚不久，那场具有历史意义的战役打响了。阿米莉亚的丈夫战死疆场；丽贝卡的丈夫战后生还。接下来的十年中，而贝卡生活一帆风顺，在社会的阶梯上不断攀升，直至有幸觐见国王，而阿米莉亚却因父亲破产承受着极大的不幸。

到了1827年，命运发生了逆转，丽贝卡的生活落入毁灭的深渊，这其实是罪有应得；阿米莉亚却转而变得富裕幸福，可归因于善有善报。但是，作者以灵活的讽刺手法，使两位女主角最后的命运归于平衡，仿佛在一个大的轮回之后，回到故事开始时两人命运的起点。

故事中，滑铁卢战役是两人命运的重要分水岭。战役之前，故事的焦点是两位女主角的婚事。两人的婚事分别受到男方家庭的反对，也都因此得不到家庭的支持，两位丈夫的遗产继承权均被取消。

滑铁卢战役之后，故事的焦点是两个女主角的贞节问题。两个三角关系分别展开。丽贝卡对丈夫不忠，与放荡好色的贵族富豪斯泰思侯爵勾搭；阿米莉亚对自己去世的丈夫信守贞节，拒绝与十几年如一日忠实爱慕她的多宾结婚。

主要人物关系：

贝姬·夏普（穷姑娘）和艾米利亚·塞德利（富家女）是同窗兼好友

贝姬·夏普与罗顿·考利（考利家族最有可能的继承人结了婚）是夫妻

艾米利亚·塞德利与迷人的军官乔治是夫妻

乔治参战后死去艾米丽亚后来嫁给了一直暗恋她的另一位军官

贝姬与斯丹恩勋爵私通也因此和被丈夫抛弃但最后和爱米的哥哥在一起了

两人的婚姻都是不受家里人祝福的

主要人物情节：

主要情节可分两条线索。一条线索描写已故穷画师的女儿贝姬在离开平克顿女子寄宿学校后，暂住在富家小姐爱米丽亚家中，企图勾引爱米丽亚的哥哥以进入上流社会。此事失败后，贝姬去毕脱·克劳雷爵士家当家庭教师，同时施展逢迎、拍马和勾搭等乖巧手段。而当毕脱丧偶后向蓓基求婚时，她却已秘密嫁给了爵士的儿子罗登。

另一条线索写纯洁的姑娘爱米丽亚钟情于轻浮空虚的军官乔治·奥斯本，冲破重重障碍终于和他结婚。但丈夫很快就厌弃她，另寻新欢。爱米丽亚一味痴情，即使在丈夫死后仍不肯改嫁。

结局：

最后，贝姬道出乔治生前曾约自己私奔的事实，爱米丽亚才和都宾结了婚。贝姬后来又与年老丑陋的斯丹恩勋爵私通，因私情为丈夫窥破而遭抛弃。而斯丹恩则误以为罗登夫妇设

局诈骗，也与贝姬一刀两段，贝姬就此潦倒。

但是贝姬本性是纯善的就像她所说“如果有5000英镑我也是个好女人”没有5000她也是个好女人艾米丽亚的哥哥回来后认识到自己当年的错误最终和贝姬走到了一起

[edit] Becky Sharp

The heroine, or more correctly the anti-heroine, is an intelligent young woman with a gift for satire. She is described as a petite sandy haired girl who has green eyes and a great deal of wit. Fluent in both French and English, Becky has a beautiful singing voice, plays the piano, and shows great talent as an actress. She is also completely amoral and without conscience. She does not seem to have the ability to get attached to other people, and lies easily and intelligently to get her way. She is extremely manipulative and, after the first few chapters and her failure to attract Jos Sedley, is not shown as being particularly sincere.

Never having known financial or social security even as a child, Becky desires it above all things. Nearly everything she does is with the intention of securing a stable position for herself, or herself and her husband after she and Rawdon are married. She advances Rawdon's interests tirelessly, flirting with men such as General Tufto and the Marquess of Steyne in order to get him promoted. She also uses her feminine wiles to distract men at card parties while Rawdon cheats them blind.

Marrying Rawdon Crawley in secret was a mistake, as was running off instead of begging Miss Crawley's forgiveness. She also fails to manipulate Miss Crawley through Rawdon so as to obtain an inheritance. Although Becky manipulates men very easily, she does not even try to cultivate the friendship of most women. Lady Jane, the Dobbin sisters, and Lady Steyne see right through her. Amelia and (initially) Miss Crawley are exceptions to the rule.

[edit] Amelia Sedley

Amelia is Becky's opposite: pale, passive, and emotionally devoted to her husband and son. She marries George Osborne against the wishes of George's father, and when George dies at the battle of Waterloo she brings up little George alone while living with her parents. She is completely dominated by her spendthrift father (who steals and sells the annuity George's friends put together to try to support her) and her mother.

After George Osborne's death, Amelia is obsessed with her son and with the memory of her husband. She ignores William Dobbin, who courts her for years, and treats him shabbily until eventually he leaves. It is only after Becky shows her George's letter to her that Amelia realizes what a good man Dobbin is, although she has already written to him to ask him to come back. She eventually marries Dobbin.

[edit] Rawdon Crawley

Rawdon, the younger of the two Crawley sons, is an empty-headed cavalry officer who is his wealthy aunt's favorite until he marries Becky Sharp, who is of a far lower class. He permanently alienates his aunt, who leaves her estate to Sir Pitt instead. Sir Pitt has by this time inherited their father's estate, leaving Rawdon quite poor.
