关键词:《劝导》;安妮;女性主义引言简·奥斯汀(Jane Austen)的《劝导》(Persuasion)具有持久的魅力,它常被人认为是“秋天的故事”[1]。
秋天是美丽丰收的季节,却隐含丝丝伤感与悲伤。
细读《劝导》后可以发现,小说有秋天的场景,有令人感伤之处,但更多的是女性人物们坚强积极面对生活的幽默与微笑,她们对生活饱含热爱而不是无奈地哀叹。
《劝导》中的这些鲜活的女性人物很值得研究品味,她们触发我们的深入思考。
如小说中的史密斯太太(Mrs. Smith),一个从表面上看非常凄凉不幸的中年寡妇,她的“烦恼和消沉几分钟就会消逝,而忙碌和高兴,却是长时间的(150)。
”[2][3] (页码均出自[3],以下仅标出页码)本文分析女主角安妮·艾略特(Anne Elliot)的身上蕴含的女性主义特质。
一、女性主义特质之一:巾帼不逊须眉的处理事务能力(一)小查尔斯摔伤事件安妮能够冷静面对紧急事件并可以妥善地处理好。
小说前部分安妮来到妹妹家照顾声称有恙在身的妹妹,有天妹妹的大儿子小查尔斯在玩耍时摔伤。
得知这个消息后大家都焦急万分,而安妮马上对所有事情做了安排—派人去请医生—找到孩子的父亲,告诉他情况—安慰孩子的母亲避免她歇斯底里发作—分配仆人任务—将妹妹的另一个孩子送去爷爷奶奶家—照顾安慰受伤的孩子—给爷爷奶奶家的大宅报信。
与安妮相比,她妹妹在此次大儿子摔伤的紧急事件时歇斯底里发作,从大宅来的人吓得手足无措只会问长问短,帮不了忙(41)。
安妮沉着冷静、临危不乱的处理事件能力的确很令人敬佩。
小说之后出现两个幽默的情景:一个是当医生鲁滨逊先生和孩子父亲与安妮交谈时,大家希望孩子的情况是不幸中的大幸,这样大家就可以安心离开摔伤的孩子去吃晚饭了。
绿山墙的安妮的亲情教育绿山墙的安妮的亲情教育亲情是深深扎根于心灵深处的情感纽带,是家庭的基石。
家庭教育是培养孩子健全人格和全面发展的关键,而亲情教育则是家庭教育的重要组成部分。
作为一部备受赞誉的文学巨著,《绿山墙的安妮》以鲜活的形象和深刻的情感描绘了亲情教育的重要性。

父母和家庭成员通过言传身教,让孩子感受到家庭的温暖和关爱。
安妮凭借家人们的爱意与鼓励,逐步确立了自己的人生目标,树立了正确的人生观和价值观。
透过《劝导》中安“谨慎”婚姻观的现象看本质正如简奥斯丁在小说的最后一章中提到的,“当两个年轻人考虑结婚时,他们就会很坚定,无论他们曾经多么贫穷,多么轻率,多么不可能给予对方舒适。
”。
所以我想倘若八年前两人的真心相爱是美丽的童话,那么在是否答应求婚的问题就将其打回了残酷的现实。
在处理是否结婚的问题上,安的教母事实上即是埋藏在安内心深处极度迷恋物质财富和权利地位,以及无法冲破传统门第观念束缚的另一个自我。
教母的劝导和阻止只不过一扇挡箭牌,在安处理其与cw的关系时不难看出,她也对cw的未来的前途命运充满忧虑,她的拒绝同时便包括他对cw的事业不认可,她不自信cw可以开阔自己的事业。
虽然对cw极度迷恋却缺乏信任,,也未曾让理智被爱情冲昏,不认为爱情可愿意代替面包。
由她决定听从教母劝导的一瞬开始,便决定了她已经向封建传统道德礼教的成员的成功转化,她以物质财富与社会地位来衡量自己的爱人,而非两人相互的感情,标志她内心沉睡着的价值观和世界观的觉醒,是其根深蒂固的保守思想观念的最完整体现。
八年的之后再度相爱,不能否认夹杂了太多的物质因素。
因为事业有成的cw的归来,安重新燃起对cw的爱情烈焰,但此时她深爱的男人已经不是过去那个一无所有的cw,不禁让人联想,此时的安选择接受的是cw还是,还是拥有财富地位的cw。
设想如果此番归来的是一无所有的cw,她又将如何抉择,是继续在爱情与面包里苦苦挣扎,或是“迫于无奈”再次听从教母的劝导?不可否认精神食粮是无法代替物质生活的,所以即便安爱的是拥有财富cw也是无可厚非的,但是安所表现出的更多是上流社会的贵族世俗化的保守的习气,她始终无法冲破传统的婚姻观念,大胆追求恋爱婚姻的自由,在追求个人幸福的道路上仍然属于胆小者与弱势群体。

Conclusion (11)Acknowledgements (13)References (14)Appendix: Thesis Proposal1.0 IntroductionJane Austen is one of the brightest superstars in the long history of the English literature who plays an important role in English literature and her novel is a mirror of middle-class. In her novel she is interested in the study of human beings in their relations with other people in daily life, and particularly preoccupied with the relationship between male and female. During her life she wrote six novels, only four appeared in her lifetime: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion came out after her death, and the other two novels were left unfinished.The famous novel Persuasion is one of Jane Austen’s works. Austen completes Persuasion in 1816.In the late of 18th century, the industrial revolution happened in Britain and the feudal power exit the stage of history. From the prospective of women, Austen tells a story that the female pursue love from being passive to being active. From the perspective of the main actor, Anne, she expresses the awakening of female consciousness. As the deepening of industrial revolution, her opinion to landlord class makes very big change. Austen heavily criticizes Wentworth who represents the declining aristocrat. And Anne also expresses mixed love-hated feeling and helpless to him. At that moment, women’s rights thought and female consciousness in European society were in the bud. Some books exploring female consciousness also successively appeared which caused great waves in comparatively conservative Britain at that time and aroused people’s attention to women’s issue. Women writers usually leave their own desire and ideal in their works. In Persuasion, after going through eight-year feeling’s suffering, Anne strives for her own happiness to make her lover return to her arms and obtain happiness. Austen seemingly illustrates to readers: the female needs to do actively to win not just passively wait others’ alms, which fully shows the awakening of female consciousness in Austen’s works. In addition, the author wants to express her different views on love and marriage through this novel and the love story between the hero and the heroine, which is the main content discussed in this study.Recent decades, researches on Jane Austen have even evaded China and a lot of papers on Austen have appeared in some important journals. There are many academic research books on the study of Jane Austen abroad. These books are mainly collections of papers of Austen. For example, Maggie Lane published Austen’s world (1996);Helen Lefroy wrote Jane Austen; Deirdre Le Faye published Jane Austen A Family Record (2002); Kathryn Sutherland edited A Memoir of Jane Austen and Other Family Recollections (2004). Besides, in Fergus’s The Art of Fiction, the author discussed the writing art in Austen’s novels. In addition, th ere are many scholars making their studies on one of her famous works Sense and Sensibility. Besides, there are many scholars making their studies on this novel and the marriage as well as the author’s views on marriage and love. For example, the scholar Wu Weiren(1988) makes a study on the views of marriage from Jane Austin in this novel and she analyzes the views on marriage and the significance in the real life from the historical sociology perspective. On the basis these formers studies on the author and her views on marriage and love, this paper tries to explore Jane Austen’s such view on marriage in her novel Persuasion. Before entering into the main part of the paper, the background of the novel will be firstly introduced in order to the better understanding of the further discussion in this study.2.0 The Introduction of the Author and the WorksThe author Jane Austen lived in the certain social background, which influences her writing in her novel Persuasion. Therefore, it is necessary to understand more about the social background and author as well as her works.2.1 Social BackgroundThe era of Jane Austen living in (1775—1817) is exactly the end of the 18th century and the starting of the 19th century. At that time, Britain is in great turbulence and revolution period. Internationally, people witness French Revolution and Napoleon’s ups and downs and experience American Revolution and the war between America and Britain and the war between Britain and France. In addition, there is the war between Spain and Netherlands. There into, the war between Britain and Franc last 20 years. Y ears of war make people fall into great disaster and suffering. Domestically, broad masses fall into bankruptcy position for the expropriation of land, as a result of increasingly sharp social contradiction stimulated by industrial revolution. With formation of British working class, labor movement also gradually spring up. “Series of changes all make Austen strongly feel that the governance foundation of noble landlord class is shaken and be finally replaced,” (Edward, 1997:24) which heavily influences her late outlook on life and creative thinking. The great change of social lifeand political life in Britain also directly influences literary trend of thought at that time. In that time, some writers gradually casted off fetter of rationalistic and began to reflect ordinary people’s mood in their work. They set their worship to emotion and enthusiasm against the rationalists’ worship to ration. They think that emotion and enthusiasm are heartfelt performances. In the early of the 19th century, romantic thought arises at the historic moment. They reflect the desire of Bourgeois democratic class and express ordinary people’s aspiration to social justice and ideal in their wo rks.2.2 About the Author and the W orksJane Austen’s novel was published in 1818 when after she has been died for two years and signed her true name. The three works of Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion are written by her after she moves to Chawton. After she dies of sickness, her brother is responsible to publish Northanger Abby and Persuasion with her true name for the first time. Persuasion is her last complete novel. Compared to the previous works, this novel is more profound with deeper sensibility. It is also regarded as the best novel among all her works by many critics. This novel satirizes the hypocritical and snobbish middle class with humor style. This novel has a rigorous structure by the exquisite writing technique. Many descriptions of this novel look ordinary and plain but if you understand in detail, you will feel that this novel is worthy of reading (Y ang Aiying, 2011).In this novel, the heroine Anne lives in a father-centered society. Her father, Walter has hereditary title of nobility living in the Somersetshire. He is the representative in the father-centered society. He has a supreme statue in his family among his three daughters and his wife. The female members in his her family thinks highly of her father. However, her father pays less attention to Anne and cares her about less than the other two daughters. Annie’s suggestion is less important in her family. Her easiness can be sacrificed by her family. Her father does not depend on her marrying a person in the wealthy family because he thinks that Anne has no such potential to have that bright further. It can be seen that the relationship between Anne father and Anne is not good. Being in the weak position in her family, Anne is not very important from her sisters’ and father’s view of point. This reflects she tries her best to be against the father-centered society represented by her father. Walter is flamboyant and hypocritical. He neglects the counterforce of the feminist represented by Annie.Anne has no right to speak in her family. She is in the edge just as thousands of women in the eighteenth century. As Rousseau puts that women always belong to men and the views of men and the most important and primary of women is docile. These concepts are rooted in British society at that time. The description of Walter reflects the fighting back to the corrupted thought, which also stands for Annie’s breaking though the father-centered society.3.0 The Author’s Views on Love and Marriage in this NovelIn the novel Persuasion, Jane Austen expresses her unique views on love and marriage which is so different with that in her other novels. Through the couples of lovers, she thinks true love is a must in the marriage.3.1 The Heroine Anne Eliot’s Love ProcessThe heroine Anne has the uncommon love process during a long time. This work tells a winding and torturing love story. Anne Eliot, who is an aristocracy, falls in love with the young military officer Captain Frederick Wentworth and they are engaged. However, Wentworth has neither high social position nor property, so Anne restrains her “untrammeled affection” with “sense” and say goodbye to her lover under the “persuasion” of her father, Sir Walter and the go dmother, Lady Russell. However, the “sensible” action leaves her eight years’ sadness for anything around not able to make her forgetting the pain of losing love (Y ao Lihua, 2004). Although a man with better economic condition make a proposal for her two y ears later, she can’t forget Wentworth to accept other people’s love all along. Eight years later, Anne becomes a disappointed woman who has lost her beauty and soaked in the wordless agony. When Wentworth appears again, she becomes full of vigor again. Sh e put down “prudence” and leaves her affection free. With loyal love through thick and thin, noble quality and selfless and fearless, she wins Wentworth’s love again and they finally get married. The ending of the Persuasion is no doubt expresses the marriage view of the author in her old age: She believes that “affection” should surpass “sense’ and the “romance” should defeat “reality” and stands that the marriage should on the basis of true love.3.2 Anne Eliot’s Love ViewsAnne Eliot is a new woman image with new type of views on marriage and love and she is different from other heroines in the other novels. She thinks it is the truelove but not the social status and money is the essence in the marriage.3.2.1 New Type of Views on Marriage and Marriage ModeHere, it does not mean the equality in social position or family background, but refers to the equality in personality. Through the heroines in Persuasion, it can be seen that Austen’s discontent with differences gender-roles and her struggle for equality between men and women, which is a kind of new type of views on marriage and marriage mode in that time.Anne expresses her love in an implicit way. The scene of her meeting with Wentworth on the street shows Anne is eager for love but is implicit. At that time, Anne is sitting by the window of a shop. She clearly sees Wentworth is coming along the street.In persuasion, Austin modeled a mature heroine image---Anny Eliot for the first time. Anne is kind, smart and mature. To some extent, she is the incarnation of the author. She is fair and gentle full of sympathy and rich affection. She is a character full of many virtues and talents. She is an inner-directed girl and has no prejudice on other things. Although Anne is a Cinderella at the beginning, she wins readers’ recognition with her wisdom and power.Dislike the heroines in the other five novels of Austin, who are attractive at the beginning, Anne is admitted through her outstanding performance by us gradually. “Although she possesses “elegant soul and soft personality”, she is an insignificant little girl in the eyes of her father and older sister. Her opinion is of little importance and her favor is always been left aside.” Therefore, although she is of distinguished birth and outstanding appearance and talent, she losses the deserving property because of her father’s prejudice and wastefulness and becomes a noble Lady without dowry. In addition, owing to her bitter love with Wentworth, she losses the beauty and passion of youth early. It is i n the “Lime Affair” that we truly understand Anne: When the willful Louis jumps in the steep step and falls out in the sidewalk of the wharf, everyone on spot, including Wentworth, is in a blue funk and at a loss. Only Anne is conducting to deal with calmly in her courtesy, which has shown extraordinary sober and courage. From these it can be seen that the author wants to write about the new type of marriage and marriage mode.3.2.2 Focus on True Love but not the Social Status and MoneyAs we know, property is the security of marriage, but if a man gets married purely for money will not be happy. The happy marriage is also based on the love, but marriage cannot only depend on love, at the same time, there should be a certain economic basis to support this marriage. “The social stratum is good, but the status of men and women is not equal, which has an influence on their marriage. At the later of the 18th century, man has the power while woman is obedient to them” (Austin, 1994:63). If the women don’t have e nough dowry, they will not be happy. When they got married, the money they have will be owned by their husbands. That’s why many men like Wentworth would choose wealthy women during Austen’s time. Returning to the novel, most of the people and characters think that wealth and social status but not the true love should be considered in marriage.In this novel, the author wants to focus on the true love but not the social status and economic conditions as her views in the previous novels. In Austen’s exquisi te strokes, readers can always feel Anne’s feeling to Wentworth, a navy captain. In fact, this expresses Anne’s constancy of love. The acquaintance and love of Anne and Wentworth happened far before the starting of the story, which is not hard to imagine for readers. For Anne, she has ever experienced a period of short but unforgettable good time and someone has ever given her real happiness. In the process of talking about navy, she faithfully argues in favor of navy and marines who work hard and offer the name of who wants to rent mansion of Kellynch, Wentworth. Here, readers can feel the delicate feeling to Wentworth. Here, the author wants to emphasize the true love and feelings but not the other additional conditions for the true love. Jane describes ma inly the lovers’ psychological and behavioral factors to show the true love and feeling for each other.“Anne , who had been a most attentive listener to the whole ,left the room , to seek the comfort of cool air for her flushed cheeks; and as she walked along a favorite grove, said, with a gentle sigh,” a few months more, and he, perhaps, may be walking here ”(Austin, 1994:33) .The scene is very strange when Wentworth meets Anne at the party after eight-year separation. They have no word to say and just exchange greetings out of least politeness. The party ends with dance. Anne mechanically plays the piano with glittering tear in her eyes. She feels happy for having something to do and just hope that people wouldn’t notice for ever. In Austen’s novel, pa rty and dance are always fullof comic atmosphere. However, this dance unexpectedly arouses sad memory of Anne. Behind t the boisterousness, it is shrouded by a shadow. This heartfelt sorrow is aroused by Anne’s loyalty to love.In addition, the main part of this novel aims at the description of Anne’s deep love for Wentworth from her words and her deeds. On the morning of December, it is sunny. Anne has a walk with lady Musgrove, Mary, Anne and Charles· Musgrove. On the way, she hears the conversation between Wentworth and Louisa by accident. Anne notices that Wentworth has great interest in that she refuses the proposal of Charles. It is the Wentworth’s interest in her that makes the readers knows it will lead to Wentworth’s observation on Anne. On the way back of his walk, Wentworth takes notice of that Anne is tired. He heads for Anne silently and helps her in the carriage. She understood him. He could not forgive her, but he could not be unfeeling. He could not see her suffer, without the desire of giving her relief. Which she could not contemplate without emotions so compounded of pleasure and pain, that she knew not which prevailed.From the whole scene, this quotation suggests Wentworth’s great passion on Anne and also indicates his over cautiousness. The series of ordinary actions arouse Anne’s imagination and a force of feeling in her inner heart. They do not talk to each other from beginning to end. The ordinary scene also shows Anne’s care for him vividly by writer’s use of smooth flow of the langu age and emotion expression.3.3 Captain Frederick W entworth’s love viewsCaptain Fredrick is the hero of this novel. He and Anne marry in the end of this novel. He also has his own views on love and he believes in the true love.3.3.1 Believing in True LoveAnne has not only rich and profound feelings but also persistent and open-minded character in believing her true love. She has already had some progressive consciousness of modern women and is a respected actress, who is also unmatched by other actres ses in Austen’s previous works. Most importantly, she believes the true love in her life out of the worldly views on love and marriage. Anne loses her mother when she is young and cannot obtain the care of her father and sister. Therefore, she is solitary in her inner world. However, she doesn’t feel dejected for her insignificance. On the contrary, it is the isolation which fosters her persistent will and decisive ability of dealing with affairs and her believing in her true love. This kind of character isreveal fully on the Liam issue. Anne refuses the proposal of Wentworth when she is 19 years old, which leads to the eight-year tough heart road. The frustration of first love makes her sad and consumes her youth, but it steels her will and character and makes her more mature. “Her idea is very different from that of her 19 age when Anne is 27 years old.” (Austen,1994:118)The continual progress of Austin in marriage view not only promotes her shaping out the ideal and realistic heroine, but also an unprecedented hero in Persuasion-- Wentworth, the clever, optimistic and positive young man in middle class. The heroes of Austin are always noble men with fortune and position and most of them are rich by inheritance. However, Wentworth has neither property nor social status initially, so his proposal has been rejected by the snobbish Sir Walter. Fortunately, Wentworth is extraordinary clever and talented, and he possesses man’s abundant energy, strong dedication, optimistic personality and undaunted spirit. So he raises and gains fortune soon in the navy. It is regrettable that he has too shallow understand for woman so that he can’t understand the pain of Anne when she leaving him. It is Anne’s outstanding performance in the Lime Affair that promotes him to making clear that the ideal woman in his heart is just Anne, who is appropriate rigid-flexible and of extraordinary ability. Finally he realizes it is Anne’s noble soul that grasps his heart tightly. The change of Wentworth in his recognition has eliminated the psychological barrier between Anne and him and flattens the road to their marriage. It can be said that their marriage is built on the basis of equity, harmony and interdependence. This marriage relation has never been seen in the Austin’s precedent nov els. The marriage of Anne and Wentworth shows that Austin’s marriage view has developed mature, ideal and realistic.3.3.2 Fighting for the True LoveThe fighting for the true love from Anne can be reflected in that she can foresee her marriage life thus to rationally choose her own marriage and know what kind of husband she wants. In Persuasion, although Austen doesn’t continue to describe actor and actress’s married life, obviously, general Croft couple’s marriage life and family mode have already show us the future of them. Especially Mrs. Croft is a woman with elegant in conversation, gentleness and cleverness. She is a woman image of bold inbreaking through traditional conception in Austen’s novel. “She transcends middle-class women’s category and the female in British bourgeoisie rising period”. (Austin, 1994:57)The emergence of her indicates the married life of Anne. Anne will not be confined to the social intercourse in parlor and dance but rush about everywhere together with her husband and assist her husband’s carrier and life when necessary. Only this, she and her husband can become enviable loving couple like general Croft couple. Austen shows her opinion through describing the marriage life and mode of general Croft. Namely, women as well as men can freely drive the car of life and fate; women and men have equal status in family life and wife can alert and correct husband’s fault at any time but not blindly submit. Only this can constantly maintain the stability of marriage and life. From this, Austen tactfully refutes the idea that men enjoy higher status than women in society at that time. Meanwhile, she also indicates the mature and reasonable of Anne this female character. She wants to get the true love.After their marriage’s failure, the ca ptain Wentworth and Anne separate from each other and even eight years they don’t see. However, they love from the bottom of the heart and they decide waiting for the other lover. Wentworth, the captain will come later. This idea excites Anne’s heart all t he time and her mood cannot maintain calm for a long time. This kind of excitement is beyond restraint and arouses dull pain in her deep heart at the same time. It is needed that how many times walk and sign can eliminate excitement and uneasiness in her heart. The delicate feeling like a trick let straightly in pour reader’s heart. In the novel, Wentworth indirectly and gradually appears and his shadow company Anne all the time. The vivid and exquisite description of Anne’s psychology make readers can real ize the existence of Wentworth and feel his every action. Meanwhile, these also show Anne’s desire to love and that she has bear Wentworth in mind for eight years. In the long time of eight years, both of them don’t marry because their love exists. The cap tain tries to earn more money becoming wealth for the preparation to marry Anne at the same time Anne also waits for him. Both fight for their true love.3.4 Anne Eliot’s Parents and other Relatives’ Love viewsIn addition to the hero and heroine’s true love in this novel, Anne’s parents and other people have the different views on their love and marriage. Firstly, it is Anne’s father, Sir Walter Elliot, who is a baronet with vanity and overconfidence. He likes money and social status and face saving. Eight years ago, when the caption and Anne loves each other, his father and Anne’s god-mother Lady Russell take the objective attitude to their marriage owing to the Captain’s less wealth and lower social status. In addition, Anne’s sister Elizabeth married Charles, a person from the upper society and she holds that women should marry with the men with wealth and social status. She also persuades her sister like this. When Anne wants to marry the captain, Elizabeth is one of the members holding the objective opinions. Another character, Mrs Clay, the poor widow is the daughter of Sir Walter’s lawyer and she wants Walter marrying Anne. She also believes that women and men should look for the husbands or wives with money and social status.From these characters’ views on marriage and love, it can be seen that wealth and social conditions take a key role in marriage in that time.3.5 Reflection of the Author’s Views on Love and MarriageAmong the gentry, Jane Austen is born into the level of society where single women have no status. Jane Austen, just like her character of heroine Anne, she does not hope for the dowry as a parson’s daughter, and she knows that she may be attractive for males, but she has only a slender chance of finding a husband in the fairly restricted circle of friends in Hamshire. Jane Austen is rational, lovely and beautiful; she is always on the look-out for a husband, evaluating each young man who comes to her. She could have sharp comments on the person she has met. It is hard to distinguish between self-protection’s irony and true admiration for her sometimes. Edward Bridges comes to know her in Kent, who is the brother of Jane’s sister-in-law, Elizabeth. He has proposed and has been refused by Jane Austen. Tom Lefory is attracted by Jane Austen, but he jilts her for she is a parson’s daughter without dowry. “During a visit at Manydown, Jane Austen’s friend Catherine and Alethea’s brother Harris Bigg Wither took the opportunity to propose to Jane and then it was accepted. But during the night, she changed her mind.” (Watt,1963:98)From her love experiences, it can be seen that Jane Austen is not a slave to be worthy of young men’s consideration, and she thinks it a mistake to overlook thementirely. It is wrong to marry for money, but it is silly to marry without money. Jane Austen does not marry in her all life maybe she does not meet her ideal husband. However, she put her ideal marriage in her novels to express her eagerness to love and marriage. As she published her first novel---Sense and Sensibility, when she is thirty-six years old, she begins to really have confidence in her skill as a novelist. From the author’s love experience it can be seen that her own love views come from her own experience in love and the reality.Though persuasion lacked of a fine sense of humor expressed in Austin’s former works, seeing from the depth of thought and emotion, the theme of marriage got deeper development in this work. Therefore, this work was hailed as a work created in her summit of ability development. Heroines in her former works were all like Cinderella in fairy tales. They were all young beautiful and pleasing single girls. Apart from Emma, they all had no abundant property and little trousseau. But after twists and turns, they all married to noblemen who were very handsome and inherited abundant legacy finally. By contrast, in persuasion, Austin modeled a mature heroine image---Anny Eliot for the first time.In her later work Persuasion, the author stresses on that: It is only brings people with agony of “prudence and sense”, but not guarantee of the happiness in the future (Chen Haiyan, 2009). For the first time affection defeat sense in the Persuasion, it confirms the development of the personality from sensibility to affection and eulogizes the great of the people’s affection. It speaks volumes for that the creation idea of Jane Austin has changed from rationalism to romanism, because she has felt that the prudence that reflecting the rational thinking just restrains people’s nature and on ly the pure love that comes from the deep heart can make people acquiring true happiness.It is thus clear that Anne in the Persuasion is not the traditional girl who is gorgeously dressed up and coming in and out of the ball to finding a reliable storeroo m. She never considers about the economic condition of her fiancé and doesn’t think that property is the precondition of marriage. Her marriage has already possessing certain degree of advanced significance, which cannot but say a revolutionary change of A ustin’s marriage view.Besides, Austin is accustomed to use tact of irony in shaping character, even Elizabeth—who is the favorite character in her novels—has been given enough irony color. However, Anne is the only successful character who does not possessing any。
《劝导》读书个人心得体会范文10篇当品味完一本著作后,相信大家都有很多值得分享的东西,这时候,最关键的读后感怎么能落下!你们知道怎样写心得体会吗?下面给大家分享一些关于《劝导》读书个人心得体会范文,供大家参考。
《劝导》读书个人心得体会范文1《劝导》是简奥斯丁的作品之一,它不如《傲慢与偏见》、《理智与情感》、《艾玛》那样有名,但依然承袭了奥斯丁的一贯风格:平静——如水,如蓝天上淡淡的云,文笔平实流畅,毫不张扬。
细读奥斯丁的《劝导》,我感到她像是一个故事的讲述者,向你完整地、平静地讲述一个情故事,没有议论的笔调,没有掺杂丝毫的个人感情,甚至连景物描写也少得让人无处寻觅。
我同时读的莫泊桑的《漂亮朋友》,给我的'感觉不是听故事,而像在看一部电影:有人物衣着相貌的描述,有夸张的人物动作描绘,有描写旷野森林的景色,有表面或暗地里的权力之争。
总之,从头到尾都围绕着金钱和权力,颇不安宁。
英国作家狄更斯写的《孤星血泪》,直接用第一人称行文,让我的心绪也随着匹普的命运和情时起时落。
而奥斯丁的文章与他们不同,她的写作语言更亲切,平实,这是小说作家中极少有的。
正是这一贯平静的风格,使得书中稍有感情波澜的地方,都显得弥足珍贵,让我异常激动。
如男女主人公七年后相见时,再如他们重拾旧梦、倾诉衷肠时的描述。
这种阅读心情就好比在一片草丛中突然发现几朵娇美的野花,抨然心动后又流连忘返。
和那种一波未平一波又起的小说相比,《劝导》这样的书更能带给我突然发现的喜悦。
奥斯丁是位让人好奇的作家,她可以不厌其烦地讲述一次又一次雷同的聚会及参加的人物,一次又一次的散步及谈话。
她的文章,几乎总是由这两种活动构成,但我们读来,却从不感到单调乏味,这是奥斯丁最神秘、最吸引人之处。
也许这一股英伦气息,对于处在欧亚大陆遥远的另一端的中国读者来说,就如东方文化在西方人眼中一样神秘。
我们好奇、探求、向往,奥斯丁的小说无疑是一座传播英国文化的桥梁,它把那个时代英国上层社会的生活气息传达给我们,让我们感受到英伦文化深沉的内涵。
第26卷 第4期2004年8月 湖州师范学院学报Journal of Huzhou Teachers CollegeVol.26 No.4Aug.,2004透析《劝导》中的新女性形象及其婚姻模式Ξ姚丽华(湖州师范学院外国语学院,浙江湖州313000)摘要:《劝导》被誉为是简・奥斯丁最为成熟的一部小说。
奥斯丁在这部小说中塑造了一位不同于以往的新女性形象———安妮,并为她设想了理想的婚姻和家庭模式。
婚姻使安妮由贵族小姐变成了一位自食其力的中产阶级妇女,她具备了一定的现代妇女意识,是一个完美而理想的人物。
这一切都反映了奥斯丁自觉的女性意识和进步的婚姻观念,及其所蕴涵的20世纪妇女解放运动男女平等思想的萌芽意识。
关键词:《劝导》;简・奥斯丁;婚姻观中图分类号:I561.064文献标识码:A文章编号:10091734(2004)04002303简・奥斯丁(Jane Austen,1775~1817)是英国19世纪初期杰出的现实主义小说家。
作为一名女性作家,她的六部小说全部是以爱情与婚姻为主题的,主要描写当时英国乡村中产阶级妇女各种类型的爱情生活和婚姻纠葛。
奥斯丁以超乎同时代人的洞察力,对当时妇女的婚姻发表了自己独到的见解。
她在作品中倡导一种爱情与经济并重而以爱情为主的婚姻观。
但值得注意的是,奥斯丁的婚姻观也不是一成不变的。
在她的创作晚期,由于当时资本主义的兴起和贵族阶级的没落,作者在描写婚姻时的重点已逐渐从贵族转向中产阶级。
更重要的是,在她所描述的婚姻中,经济因素与财产、门第已不再起主导作用,相互理解和平等的男女关系成了新型婚姻的基础。
本文以奥斯丁的最后一部小说《劝导》为例,试通过分析她所塑造的新女性形象———安妮及其婚姻模式,透视作者自觉的女性意识和进步的婚姻观,及其所蕴涵的20世纪妇女解放运动男女平等思想的萌芽意识。
一、与众不同的新女性形象《劝导》这部作品虽然缺少奥斯丁以往作品中的那种渗透于字里行间使人忍俊不禁的幽默风趣,但从思想和感情深度方面看,婚姻的主题在《劝导》中得到了更为深入的发展,因此小说被誉为是“她的能力发展到顶峰之时”的小说[1](P25)。
《劝导》中安妮的亲情观作者:罗卓琳来源:《文教资料》2014年第08期摘要:本文主要分析了英国女小说家奥斯汀最后一部小说《劝导》中安妮的亲情观,从而体会安妮这位女性形象的人格魅力,领悟奥斯汀对亲情的理解。
关键词:《劝导》安妮亲情观亲情指亲人间特殊真挚的感情。
18世纪,英国女作家简·奥斯汀通过最后一部完整小说《劝导》(Persuasion)中的安妮·艾略特表达对亲情的领悟。
安妮幼年丧母,父亲不疼爱她,姐姐忽视她,这个并非光芒四射的女性人物却被作者奥斯汀认为是“太好了”。
下面从安妮的亲情观展现她的人格魅力。
一在莱姆旅馆的艾略特先生的马车离开时,吸引大家的注意力(80)(引文均出自Jane Austen. Persuasion[M].St Ives plc:Wordsworth Editions Limited, 1993.下面的引文仅标注页码),安妮的妹妹玛丽非常兴奋地得知这个艾略特先生正是她们的堂兄,她们父亲的继承人。
但玛丽为没有和他说上话而遗憾(82),安妮等到玛丽能听进别人的话时,轻声劝她,父亲与艾略特有过节,同他结识是不适宜的。
玛丽让安妮下次给父亲和大姐写信时提及遇见艾略特先生,安妮却认为应避而不谈。
玛丽从不给父亲姐姐写信,安妮则与大姐伊莉莎白进行拖拉的令人不十分满意的通信联系。
安妮与玛丽对艾略特先生的不同反应体现了她们关注重点的差异。
安妮考虑家庭与人际交往中的和谐安宁因素,玛丽在乎自己的面子问题。
安妮姐姐伊莉莎白的傲气让两个妹妹觉得与父亲姐姐通信是一件辛苦的工作(83),所以玛丽选择从不写信,而安妮选择坚持下来,这显示了安妮能忍耐,愿牺牲,以取得家庭的和睦。
巴思音乐会那晚,在安妮与温特沃斯上校谈话时,父亲和姐姐也与上校打了个招呼,虽然态度勉强、不太礼貌,但让安妮的心情略有好转。
安妮重视亲情和爱情,家人对自己爱人的态度对安妮的心情有所影响。
安妮与温特沃斯上校这对情侣决定结婚,安妮不如路易莎和亨里埃塔那般幸运,缺少父母的疼爱和家庭的热情支持,父亲沃尔特爵士没有表示反对,姐姐伊莉莎白显得冷淡和漠不关心,由于父亲沃尔特爵士挥霍无度,他只能给安妮将来应继承的一万英镑财产中的一小部分。
这里对比路易莎和亨里埃塔订婚后,墨斯格罗夫一家热火朝天地为他们结婚的事忙碌和他们父母的开明。
安妮父亲沃尔特爵士不喜欢安妮,并且因虚荣心没有得到满足而对此并不感到十分高兴。
亲生父亲不爱自己,可见安妮的成长不容易,在一个缺乏亲人关爱呵护的环境下生存。
后来考虑到温特沃斯上校现在的财产和地位,以及堂堂的仪表,父亲沃尔特爵最后同意将这次婚姻载入那本荣誉手册之中。
安妮父亲表现得有些浅薄,他不考虑女婿是否会对待他女儿好,他女儿是否会生活幸福,沃尔特爵士的荣誉手册也是他浅薄的很好体现,沃尔特爵士的人生价值似乎就只有这本荣誉手册的深度与广度。
在所有家庭成员中,玛丽对安妮与温特沃斯上校的婚事感到最满意。
玛丽认为有一个姐姐出嫁是光荣的,而且她得意地认为,是她秋天把安妮留在家里,因而有力地促成了这桩婚姻,温特沃斯上校比本威克舰长和查尔斯·海特都富有,令她很愉快。
虽然玛丽对安妮的婚事不像安妮的父亲姐姐那样表示冷淡,但她对安妮婚事的高兴和满意其实是建立在面子和金钱地位等虚荣上的,玛丽并非如安妮好友拉塞尔夫人那样真诚地希望和关心安妮得到幸福。
安妮为她父亲、姐姐和妹妹不能像上校的姐姐和哥哥诚心诚意重视自己,尊重和谐友善地对待上校,为自己不能为上校提供一个通情达理的所能珍惜的亲戚而感到自卑,安妮觉得自己和上校财产的差距没有感到遗憾。
这突出了安妮对真挚的亲情非常重视。
二从凯林奇去父亲和姐姐在巴思定居的住所前,拉塞尔夫人与安妮去上克罗斯看望墨斯格罗夫夫妇,那时他们家里有哈维尔家的孩子、墨斯格罗夫夫妇放假回来的孩子及玛丽的两个男孩(102)。
孩子们的嬉闹声让墨斯格罗夫先生必须大声地与拉塞尔夫人说话,可是拉塞尔夫人仍是听不清他在说什么。
此访之后,拉塞尔夫人不满地决定以后不在圣诞节人多聚集时访问上克罗斯。
然而在巴思进城路上听到街上各种各样的喧闹声时,拉塞尔夫人却没有丝毫抱怨,反而认为这些声音展现了冬天的快乐,让她感觉精神振奋。
与拉塞尔夫人不同,安妮对墨斯格罗夫夫妇抱以同情态度,安妮对巴思街上的喧闹声却没有愉悦感。
巴思的父亲姐姐与安妮亲情淡漠,安妮惋惜怀念上克罗斯孩子们的喧闹和凯林奇的幽静(103)。
上克罗斯有安妮的友情和妹妹,环境幽美的凯林奇是安妮成长的地方,充满了许多美好的回忆,安妮为了投奔父亲姐姐离开此外,来到曾经印象不好的巴斯。
安妮的父亲和姐姐一向对安妮冷漠不重视,他们之间缺乏温暖的亲情和真诚的关爱。
作者生动描述了安妮的心绪,透露了温暖亲情的重要性。
温暖的亲情会给予人力量面对人生的转折与环境变迁,反之冷漠的家庭亲属关系会促使许多心理问题的产生,如焦虑不安,也会让人在面对变迁的环境时缺乏勇气。
年幼时安妮的母亲就去世,之后安妮一直缺乏来自父亲、姐姐等家人的温暖真诚的关爱,因而能力卓越的安妮性格里是有点怯懦和犹豫的。
安妮怀着沉重的心情走进父亲在坎登租的高大又庄严的漂亮房子,父亲和姐姐对巴思的房子很满意,安妮却觉得要被囚禁在这里好几个月,忧心忡忡地暗自思忖什么时候才能离开这里(105)。
父亲姐姐与安妮的冷漠关系让安妮没有产生新到一个地方的兴奋感,反而认为父亲姐姐眼里的漂亮房子是压抑她人性舒展的囚牢,她在这里不能享受到正常的人际间的关爱。
其实不只安妮觉得父亲姐姐亲情冷漠,那次父亲姐姐到墨斯格罗夫太太一家下榻旅馆拜访时,同样由于父亲姐姐的出现,大家感受到一股冰冷得让人窒息的气息。
当父亲和姐姐令人意外地欢迎安妮时,安妮的情绪有所好转。
为了炫耀房子和家具,父亲和姐姐很高兴见到安妮,态度很和气(105)。
这里作者通过安妮让人体会到,家人关系与个人幸福感关联非常大。
然而安妮与她父亲姐姐的价值观有很大差异,让安妮感到充满温情和美好回忆的凯林奇与上克罗斯,不是父亲姐姐的兴趣所在。
听到父亲姐姐对巴思房子的担保,安妮并没有惊异于他们的幸福感,而是叹息父亲在改换环境后竟然没有感到有失身份,对丧失地产所有者的责任和身份并不感到任何遗憾,父亲居然能在一个城市的小小格局中发现那么多值得骄傲的东西。
姐姐伊莉莎白推开折门,得意地从一间客厅走到另一间,夸耀房间如何宽敞,安妮惊异叹息姐姐这位前凯林奇府的女主人居然能对两堵墙之间仅有三十英尺(=9.15米)宽的房子感到自豪(106)。
安妮与父亲姐姐的价值观迥异,安妮看重人的思想、道德、情感及人应承担的责任,而父亲姐姐重视人和事物的外表美、虚名,享受他人对他们的恭维奉承。
三安妮在巴思音乐会的第二天通过与好友史密斯太太交谈,了解到表亲艾略特先生的真实品性。
安妮虽庆幸自己能看穿艾略特先生,但马上担心父亲和姐姐会蒙受屈辱,不安地预见许多不幸后果。
虽然父亲姐姐对自己冷漠,但安妮仍关心爱护他们,想方设法地保护他们不受屈辱。
安妮一想到克莱太太和艾略特先生这些人在不断地欺骗她父亲与姐姐,一想到她父亲和姐姐将面临的种种屈辱,就感到十分羞愧。
安妮的这种心情,体现了她对父亲姐姐饱含真挚的关爱之情。
安妮去上克罗斯庄照顾身体不适的妹妹玛丽,刚到玛丽家时,玛丽一个人躺在沙发上(27),难受得连说话的力气都没有。
安妮说了些同情的话,耐心地询问玛丽和她家人的情况,并高兴地鼓励玛丽总能把病治好的(28)。
没多久,玛丽真的就好了,可在沙发上坐直,能整理花束,能吃并提出去散步(29)。
一次远足散步休息时,安妮先在树篱下有阳光的干燥斜坡上帮妹妹玛丽找到休息的好地方,之后自己才好好坐下休息。
安妮对妹妹的关心爱护,先考虑妹妹,再照顾自己。
妹妹玛丽对安妮不像姐姐伊莉莎白一样冷漠,没有姐妹情分。
在莱姆决定谁留下来照顾摔伤的路易莎时,原来大家一致认为安妮是最合适的人。
可嫉妒的玛丽提出要留下来照顾路易莎,她丈夫查尔斯也劝不了她,结果不得不让玛丽替换安妮。
安妮虽顺从,但从来没有这么勉强(90)。
安妮善良与忍耐,善良的她愿意牺牲自己的方便,尽心尽力地照顾受伤的路易莎,可是考虑到妹妹玛丽的虚荣心,安妮只能无奈忍耐。
安妮在巴思待了一个月,很想听到上克罗斯和莱姆的消息,真切关心上克罗斯的妹妹、妹夫及他们家人,想了解在莱姆养伤的路易莎和热心照顾她的哈维尔上校夫妇。
一天傍晚,正当安妮想念他们的时候,收到了玛丽一封厚厚的来信,让安妮更高兴和惊讶的是其中还有克罗夫特将军夫妇的问候(124),这体现了安妮对她亲人朋友的真情厚意。
信中玛丽说安妮一定不会想到上克罗斯,可见玛丽并不了解安妮,安妮其实很想念上克罗斯和莱姆的亲人朋友们。
玛丽信中第一句就说她不想因好久没写信而表示歉意,因为她知道在巴思这个地方,人们对信件不大关心,这体现了巴思人情相对冷漠。
与安妮对朋友真切关心不一样,当父亲和姐姐得知安妮收到克罗夫特将军帮玛丽带来的信后,父亲沃尔特爵士的评论是他知道应该怎么对待他的房客。
沃尔特爵士评论信件是方便的手段,可当做介绍信,他把信件的功能看得非常功利,忽略了信件交流情感和增进了解的功能。
之后,沃尔特爵士问克罗夫特将军夫妇是否乘坐四驾马车,他们在巴思的住址是否便于他和艾略特小姐拜访。
伊莉莎白问了一句玛丽怎样之后没等回答,又问为何克罗夫特将军夫妇来巴思。
伊莉莎白对于亲人非常淡漠,父亲根本不关心玛丽,更突出了安妮对亲情的重视。
一天,玛丽和她丈夫突然到访他们在巴思的住所。
玛丽的到来虽引起了大家极强烈的惊奇,但安妮见到他们时非常高兴。
安妮没有因为妹妹出现打乱了她的原计划而不高兴,相反安妮由衷喜悦,体现出安妮重视亲情,对妹妹他们真诚的关爱。
父亲和姐姐不感到十分遗憾,就摆出合乎礼仪的欢迎姿态。
等弄清楚玛丽他们不来这居住时,沃尔特爵士和伊莉莎白的态度就变得真诚一些,并表示要竭尽地主之谊。
当父亲和姐姐向玛丽展示他们的巴思新居时,安妮则让妹夫查尔斯详谈他们来巴思的事。
安妮与父亲姐姐的关注重点不同,安妮关心亲人本身,而父亲姐姐关注虚荣面子。
作者着重凸显了沃尔特爵士和伊莉莎白对亲人表面形式、不真诚甚至冷漠,更反衬安妮对待亲人的真诚关爱。
安妮关爱妹妹玛丽的两个孩子,全力照顾他们,视之为乐事,孩子们像爱自己母亲一样非常尊重安妮(32)。
安妮悉心照料摔伤的小查尔斯,认为对他的照顾给自己留下了美好的回忆(71)。
安妮对待幼小的亲人非常有爱心,并竭尽全力来关爱。
英国经济学家理查德·莱亚德认为,当温饱问题解决后,能令人感到幸福的不是增加收入,而是和睦的亲情、友情、邻里等人际关系。
安妮践行重视家庭和睦、真诚关爱亲人,是一位富有人格魅力的幸福女性。
