莎拉遇到罗塞蒂后会自由吗?——析《法国中尉的女人》主人公莎拉“偶遇”后的出路

Whether Sarah Would be Free after Encountering Rossetti——To Analyze the Heroine's Future After the Encounter in The French Lieutenant's Woman

约翰·福尔斯的《法国中尉的女人》的双重结尾之一是莎拉遇到了代表自由的但丁.罗塞蒂,这似乎意味着莎拉超越了19世纪维多利亚时代社会对女性的束缚,获得了最终的自由。然而她和罗塞蒂相遇的必然性则表明,这个看似走在时代之前、具有鲜明女性独立意识、傲立于世的新女性即使在遇到罗塞蒂后,在罗塞蒂这个强大的父权主义者的身影后,仍未摆脱当时社会男女两性关系中的实质——"男性中心意识"的阴影而获得真正意义上的自由。

One of the double ends in John Fowls＇ The French Lieutenant＇s Woman suggests Sarah meets Rossetti, the representative of freedom, and their encounter seems to imply that the heroine Sarah would go beyond the 19th-century Victorian social constraints on women, and obtain her ultimate freedom. However, this paper, from the point of the inevitability of Sarah＇s encountering Rossetti, to analyze this freed woman, seemingly going ahead of the times with a distinct sense of female independence, and standing proudly as a new woman as well, once behind the powerful patriarchal figure of Dante Rossetti, points out that she could not shake off the shackles of ＂male-centered consciousness＂ of that times and gain her real freedom.
