摘要
纳撒尼尔·霍桑 (180 4- 186 4)与艾米莉·勃朗特 (1818- 1848)这两位作家都具有浪漫主义气质。他们从文明和自然的角度去理解人 ,这也是浪漫主义的一贯传统。把人视为文明的受害者并向自然寻求安慰的看法同为霍桑与勃朗特所持观点。两部作品都探索了自然之爱与文明之爱之间不可调和的矛盾。两位作家一致认为 :现实中 ,文明之爱将最终获胜 ,因为社会对个人具有决定作用 ,没有人能够脱离社会的束缚 ;精神上 ,自然之爱独具魅力 ,虽死犹荣 ,生命的意义在于对自由和爱情的无限追求中 。
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864) and Emily Bronte (1818 - 1848), are both full of romanticism. They comprehended the human beings from the point of civilization and nature, which is also the tradition of romanticism. They regarded the human beings as the victims of civilization who seek the comfort from nature. Both of the novels deal with the irreconcilable contradiction between the love of civilization and nature. The writers believe that in reality the love of civilization will eventually win, because society is vital to individuals, and no one can be free its domination; in spirit, the love of nature has its unique and glory. The meaning of life is in the course of constantly pursing freedom and love, which is the eternal topic of romanticist writers.
