狄更斯小说《远大前程》人物性格探析

Study on the Characteristics in Dickens' Great Expectations

许多人都说,匹普在小伦敦时,由一位天真少年变成一个高傲、势利、自私的人,最后他"转了一个圈",又回到了以前的生活。其实,匹普不是"转了一个圈"回到原地,若不是这段经历,他永远不会快乐。这段经历不是他远大前程的失落,而是另一种意义上的获得。另外,乔也不是一个值得效仿的道德典范。

The paper discusses the characteristics in Great Expectations,and put forward some views which different with the traditional views.Many people say that,Pip changes from an innocent boy into a superior,snobbish and selfish person when he was in small London.Finally,he was just made a circle and then back to the old lifestyle.This paper holds that： Pip is not ＂make a circle＂ and then come back to where he started.He will never feel happy but for this experience.This experience is not a loss of his great expectations but a gain in another way;and Joe is not a model in moral authority as well.
