The Desire for Love and Friendship in Solitude: A Comparative Study of Jane Eyre and Anne's Orphan Daughter Image

英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特和加拿大女作家露西·莫德·蒙哥马利在各自的小说《简·爱》和《绿山墙的安妮》中分别塑造了2位极为典型的孤女形象——简·爱与安妮。2位女性诞生于不同的作家笔下,生长于不同的时代和生活环境,却有着相似的经历和遭遇,在追寻爱、友谊的历程中她们从寄人篱下的孤女逐渐成长为独立的女性,实现了自我价值。因此,把简·爱和安妮放在一起进行比较研究,可以从不同的角度重新解读二者的共同之处和差异。这种多角度的赏析不仅能够帮助读者理解小说人物形象的社会意义,而且使读者更能欣赏小说的艺术价值。
