《欢乐之家》中的婚恋伦理叙事

The Ethics of Love and Marriage in House of Mirth

由于婚姻制度是社会固化其阶级政治和性别政治的基石,虽然小说叙述者曾经在开始局部地肯定主人公借婚姻实现社会流动的愿望的合理性,但是随着叙事进程推进,作品则逐步转向批判婚姻制度的虚伪性,深刻地阐述了女主人公在当时通过婚姻实现阶层流动和个人幸福的不可能性。

It holds that although the novel seems to recognize the reasonableness in the female protagonist＇s justifications to marry into higher class on the outset,it continues,as the narrative progresses,to point out the hypocrisy of the American marital institutions and impossibility of realizing happiness via marriage into a higher class in the context of social stratification and gender politics.
