Cinderella Complex in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility_英语论文

摘要

格林童话中的《灰姑娘》是世界上流传最广，最受人们欢迎的民间故事之一，后已成为文学创作的一种基本爱情模式和创作原型。而伟大的女性作家简·奥斯汀将这种“灰姑娘情结”贯穿于她的一系列作品中。本文通过对《傲慢与偏见》、《理智与情感》两部作品与传统的灰姑娘模式进行比较，分析两部作品中的女性角色，颠覆了传统刻板的女性形象，体现了其独立女性主义思想。由此对简奥斯汀的创作情感及对当时社会传统女性观的有了更深刻直观的认识，对她的作品有了更立体丰满的了解。
