Although Rebecca and Xi-feng live in different times, they are quite similar in their characters and destinies, and are often referred as representatives of awakened female. This dissertation in tends to conduct a cross-culture comparison between Rebecca and Xi-feng by answering the following questions: 1) what are the historical and individual causes of the feminine awakening of Rebecca and Xi-feng; 2) what are the similarities between Re becca's and Xi-feng's feminine consciousness? 3) What are the differences between Rebecca and A Dream of Red Mansions in dis playing characters' feminine consciousness?By adopting parallel comparative research method, the study finds that: 1) the feminine consciousness of Rebecca and Xifeng stems from both trends of thoughts at that time and their relatively free and open growing environment; 2) the similarity be tween them is that they have similar androgynous characteristics, which reflect the authors' pursuit of an integrated human identi ty; 3) the individuality of Rebecca lies in the characterization techniques, namely the narrative perspective and dual texts, which imply both protest and surrender under the grim reality; in A Dream of Red Mansions, Xi-feng does not form clear feminine con sciousness, instead she become a defender and victim of patriarchal culture.The author hopes that this comparative study between two literary characters can bring a new light to the study of two mas terpieces and help readers to differentiate patterns of feminine consciousness as well as to gain a better perception of feminist value in wider context.展开更多

The study takes the opportunity to observe some conventions in Rebecca West＇s concerns and recommends that they should be read as a thematic cycle, starting with her first unfinished novel The Sentinel （2002） and ending with her last published novel The Birds Fall Down （1966）. It draws a comparative analysis between the two narratives and confirms some thematic traditions, their influences and development in this writer＇s practice. The novels are used to exemplify West＇s complex politics, her independent philosophy and her blunt and arresting voice, which seem to have complicated her position as a woman writer of her time. The analysis suggests that West＇s extensive usage of conflicts, ambiguous female images, suffragist and anti-Soviet ideas as the main themes expressed through her impressive mode of characterization across a variety of different genres, impeded a complete understanding and public perception of her work, while simultaneously demonstrating complexity of her narratives. The study shows that she used these matters to debate contemporary issues and to find new solutions to unravel antagonisms. It proposes, in general, that West＇s work is essential to examine modern traditions of literary practices and women＇s writing in particular, to explore human nature and to inquire into family and gender relations.展开更多
