简爱的哥特意向和女性书写

liam

第二小说中蕴含了浓重的哥特气息。勃朗特姐妹们因为受到成长环境的影响,在她们的书写中,始终能看到各种哥特的意向。例如小说中所描述的山菲尔德庄园是被石楠花包围,整座建筑都是红色,石楠花和红色都是哥特常用的意向;小说中玄幻的复仇情节,阁楼上的疯女人不为简爱所见却亲手毁灭了山菲尔德庄园,而复仇也是哥特小说中常见的意味。

第三则是别具一格的女性书写,夏洛蒂的女性书写是维多利亚时期女性书写的缩影,女性在那时候只有两条出路——家庭天使或反抗男性的恶魔,前者需要依附男性,后者则是选择脱离男性的庇护独自谋生,想要实现后者的前提是女性拥有巨大的财富,而夏洛蒂的女性书写正是居于两者之间,反抗男性的庇护的同时也向往温馨的家庭环境。在小说最后,夏洛蒂很巧妙的给予简爱一笔财富,使她真正获得摆脱男性束缚的资本,在此条件下,简爱回到罗切斯特先生身边才能更加彰显女性对于自由爱情的追求。

    The second novel contains a strong gothic atmosphere. Because the Bronte sisters were influenced by the environment in which they grew up, they can always see various Gothic intentions in their writing. For example, the Shanfield Manor described in the novel is surrounded by heather flowers, and the whole building is red, and heather flowers and red are common Gothic intentions; The fantasy revenge plot in the novel, the mad woman in the attic destroys the Shanfield Manor with her own hands without being seen by Jane Eyre, and revenge is also a common meaning in Gothic novels.
