《简·爱》一方面体现出强烈的女性解放意识,揭示了女性所受压迫之根源及其现实原因、女性解放的方式,等等;但另一方面却又在不同程度上削弱了此意识,简爱地位的确立以罗彻斯特的被残疾为前提、简爱在精神和物质上不能独立、对人物阶级属性和亲属关系的回避,等等。之所以如此,源自作者的视野、身处环境和世界观的影响。 Jane Eyre, on the one hand, shows a strong sense of female liberation, reveals the root causes of the oppression of women and its realistic reasons, the way of women’s liberation, and so on; on the other hand, it weakens this consciousness to varying degrees Jane Eyre’s status was established on the premise that Rochester was disabled, Jane Eyre could not be mentally and materially independent, herd avoidance of the class nature and kinship of the characters, and so on. This is so, from the author’s perspective, in the environment and the impact of the world view.
