【摘要】：作为小说家和诗人，托马斯哈代（1840-1928）在英国文坛乃至世界文坛上享有盛誉。在他所创作的所有小说中，真正让他闻名于世界的是他以威塞克斯为背景所写的“性格与环境”小说。《卡斯特桥市长》就是其中之一。这部小说从发表之初起就因其令人讶异却又精彩的情节以及巧妙的构思备受关注。作为女性主义运动的代表人物之一，波伏娃在其经典著作《第二性》中详细分析了不同处境下女性的不同命运，她认为女人不是天生的，而是教育和社会风俗迫使女人隐藏其超越性，表现出内在性，成为绝对的他者。她认为女性获得解放的唯一途径就是要在极端的孤独中崭露头角，承认自己的主体性，表现出超越性。本文采用波伏娃的女性主义理论对《卡斯特桥市长》中的三个女性角色进行深入分析，探讨女性在父权制社会中的地位及其对自由的追求，从而了解哈代在这部小说中所表现的女性观。通过分析可以得知，哈代非常关心女性的命运。他认为传统的女性因其女性气质，注定会在父权制社会中以悲剧收场。而对于那些已有觉悟的新女性，她们必须坚定立场，不能在主体性和他者性中徘徊不定，因为这样只会加速她悲剧命运的到来。他认为女性若要获得平等和自由，就必须要在经济上和思想上独立，即必须要意识到自己存在的重要性，并且要正确地认识自我，表现出超越性。本文详细地分析了《卡斯特桥市长》中的女性角色，，探讨了三种不同类型的女人在父权制社会中的处境和命运，揭示了女性获得解放的方法。相异于以往的研究将男性角色作为研究对象，本文关注的是小说中的女性人物，为这部小说的研究提供了一个比较新颖的视角。
[Abstract]:As a novelist and poet, Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) enjoys a high reputation in the English literary world as well as in the world. Of all his novels, what really made him famous in the world was his novel "character and Environment" written in the context of Wessex. "Mayor of Casterbridge" is one of them. The novel has been the subject of attention since its inception for its amazing and brilliant plot and ingenious ideas. As one of the representative figures of the feminist movement, Bovova, in her classic book "second Sex", analyzes in detail the different destinies of women in different situations. She thinks that women are not born. It is education and social customs that force women to hide their transcendence, to show their immanence and to be the absolute other. She believes that the only way for women to be liberated is to stand out in extreme loneliness, admit their subjectivity and show transcendence. This paper makes an in-depth analysis of the three female characters in Mayor Casterbridge by using Bovova's feminist theory, and probes into the position of women in the patriarchal society and their pursuit of freedom. In order to understand Hardy's view of women in this novel. Through analysis, we can know that Hardy is very concerned about the fate of women. He believes that traditional women, because of their femininity, are destined to end in tragedy in patriarchal society. For the new women who have already realized, they must stand firm and not wander in the subjectivity and otherness, because this will only accelerate the arrival of her tragic destiny. He believes that if women want equality and freedom, they must be independent economically and ideologically, that is, they must realize the importance of their own existence, and correctly understand themselves and show transcendence. This paper analyzes in detail the female roles in the Mayor of Casterbridge, discusses the situation and fate of three different types of women in the patriarchal society, and reveals the methods of women's liberation. Different from previous studies, this paper focuses on the female characters in the novel, which provides a novel perspective for the study of the novel.
