英国19世纪女小说家的恋爱婚姻观

Love Values of English Women Novelists in the 19th Century

英国19世纪涌现出了一大批批判现实主义小说家,他们把浪漫主义和现实主义结合在一起,创作了不少不朽之作。其中那些女作家尤其突出。她们的一系列爱情故事小说表达了她们对恋爱婚姻的理解和解释。她们一致认为:幸福美满的恋爱婚姻是建立在真爱的基础上的。同时,她们也有完全不同的观念。简·奥斯丁揭露了门当户对恋爱婚姻观;夏洛蒂·布朗特认为男女在爱情上是平等的;爱米莉·布朗特则把爱情写成矛盾的漩涡,更有人不慎失足于其中;而乔治·爱略特强调女性要循规蹈矩,甘于平凡。她们充分表达了19世纪女作家的形形色色的恋爱婚姻观。

Many critical realists emerged in the 19th century in Britain. They combined romanticism with realism, having created a large number of outstanding novels. The women novelists of them are worth mentioning. Their interesting love stories show their understanding and explanation of love and marriage. They all agreed that true love was the foundation of a happy marriage. At the same time, they had different opinions over love. Jane Austen exposed the money-status-oriented marriage; Sharlotte Bronte held that men and women were equal in love; Emily Bronte regarded love as a contradictive eddy where some people were drowned; and George Eliot thought woman's duty was essential to the happiness of a marriage. They fully expressed the 19th-century women novelists' love values of every description.
