传统的西方文学以男性文本和男性经验为中心,女性常被塑造成天使或魔鬼。为了挑战对女性的传统定位、清算男作家对女性形象的扭曲,一些女作家从全新的视角来审视女性,其作品中出现了颠覆与破坏传统的新女性。《简.爱》中成功塑造的新女性形象激发了女性的觉醒意识,为促进女性在婚姻与爱情面前与男性平等确立了公正、典型的范例。 Traditional Western literature centers on male texts and masculine experiences, and women are often shaped as angels or demons. In order to challenge the traditional orientation of women and to liquidate the distortions of the male writers on the female images, some women writers examine women in a completely new perspective. In their works, there are new women who have subverted and destroyed traditions. The new female image successfully created in Jane Eyre inspired the awakening consciousness of women and established a fair and typical example for promoting equality between women and men before marriage and love.
