德伯家的苔丝英文分析
内容摘要
在英国,许多的作家以幻灭为主题,将其融入到自己的作品当中。
在这些作家中最有代表性的是托马斯·哈代.在19世纪的英国,托马斯·哈代是著名的批判现实主义作家,《德伯家的苔丝》是他作品中最有影响力的一部.在这部作品中他的对比是:
人和社会环境、人和大自然、人的外貌和他的内心世界.《德伯家的苔丝》主要讲述了一个美丽善良的少女苔丝失身后所遭遇的悲惨故事。
他认为平民的生活是悲惨的,平民人物的命运也是悲剧,而主人公苔丝的命运就是平民命运的一个小缩影。
并且在18世纪到19世纪之交,维多利亚时期是一个以男性为中心的时代,男女不平等已经成为维多利亚时期根深蒂固的社会习俗,因此,当时妇女倍受压迫和歧视。
苔丝作为一个普通人,与当时社会的抗争是无助的,她的结局会像所有一切与道德伦理相悖的事物一样,成为这个社会的牺牲品.苔丝的悲剧是又多方因素造成的,我的论文仅通过社会环境的描写、法律制度,伦理道德和宗教,分析出造成苔丝悲惨命运的社会因素。
苔丝的悲剧是那个社会所造成的。
