简爱的荆棘人生路:从“他者”到“自我”

Jane's thorny pilgrimage:From "other" to "self"

简自幼便忍受着作为“他者”所带来的不确定感,但是她拒绝接受命运的安排,坚持“自我”的独立性。简的荆棘人生路——盖茨海德—劳渥德—桑菲尔德—沼屋—芬丁——充分展现了她对“自我”的不懈追求。简的“自我”形象迸发着女权主义的光芒。小说中看似“不太可能”的情节揭示了最可能的事实:男性统治正是女权主义“他者”困境的根源。

Jane suffers as an unsecured ＂Other＂ since infancy, but she refuses her fate and insists to keep her ＂Self＂. Her thorny pilgrimage ——Gateshead-Lowood-Thornfield-Moor House-Ferndean——reflects her desperate struggle for ＂Self＂. Her ＂Self＂ image burns with rebellious feminism. The ＂improbable＂ episode of the story discloses the most probable facts male dominance is the source of a feminist Other＇s dilemma.
