从《诺斯托罗莫》看康拉德的女性观

On Conrad's Feminine Notion in Nostromo

基于康拉德的生平记载,以《诺斯托罗莫》中女性人物为例,解读了康拉德的女性观,认为康拉德并非一位男性霸权主义者。作为一位关注伦理道德的小说家,康拉德通过塑造拥有纯洁灵魂的女性来凸显男性如何在物质和名誉的诱惑下逐步陷入道德堕落的泥沼。女性在社会和家庭生活中彰显出强大的道德力量。以艾米莉娅为典型的女性形象体现了康拉德主张的道德原则。

Based on the biographical record of Joseph Conrad,this paper interprets Conrad's views on women with a particular study of his novel Nostromo.The analysis shows that Conrad is not a male-chauvinist.As a novelist concerns about morality,Conrad creates pure women in his novels to show how the male characters are degraded into the moral darkness because of the temptation of materialism and the desire for a good fame.In contrast,female characters exert powerful moral influence.They,with the typical example of Amelia,are a reflection of Conrad's moral principles.
