摘    要
 托馬斯·哈代（Thomas Hardy）作為維多利亞時期最杰出的作家之一，一直關注女性的命運并努力在小說中塑造背離傳統價值取向和世俗道德標準的新女性形象。本文首先具體介紹維多利亞時期的女性地位以及女性主義的研究現狀，明確本文的研究背景。其次對《還鄉》和《無名的裘德》中的女主人公游苔莎和淑兩位超越傳統的破格行為進行分析，通過對比得出維多利亞時期新女性的共同點；然后通過討論兩位女主人公悲劇結局，得出時代的局限性是導致悲劇的主要原因。最后，通過分析小說中的女性世界來闡釋哈代對女性獨特的理解和認識，同時也挖掘出由于性別和時代的局限而導致了哈代在女性主義描寫上的不足。

關鍵詞：哈代；女性主義；游苔莎；淑

ABSTRACT
 Thomas Hardy, as one of the most outstanding author in Victorian age, keeps paying attention on female’s destiny and devotes himself to creating new women who deviate from the traditional view of value and moral codes. This paper first introduces women’s status in Victorian age and the current study on feminism, and then analyzes the superior activities of Eustacia and Sue and concludes similarities of new women in Victorian age. Thirdly, it makes a conclusion by discussing the tragic endings that the main cause of the tragedies is the limitation of age. Finally, it realizes Hardy’s advanced and distinctive understanding towards women from the detailed description of females in his novels. And it also discovers Hardy’s restriction of gender and time which reflects on his limitation of describing feminism.

Key words：Hardy; feminism; Eustacia; Sue
