Abstract: As one of the most important realistic writers in Victorian time, Charles Dickens has created lots of masterpieces. Analyzing his works is a good way to understand the author’s thoughts and feelings, especially his view about women at that time. The two important female images in Great Expectations are two typical examples of the women in Victorian times. They try to fight against the male-dominated world, and their complicated personalities are the result of the contradiction between the traditional morals and rebellion to the old world. Miss Havisham and Estella’s fight is a trial of finding a new life. It is also the pullulation of women’s revolution. In Dickens’s eye, marriage should not become the shackles to bondage the female, and women should walk out of the family and find their own values. This paper is aimed to analyze the two females’ characters and the cause of their formation, in the hope that readers will have a brief impression about the social status and life conditions of women in that time.

Key Words: Great expectations; female status; Charles Dickens; Morals in Victorian time
 
 《遠(yuǎn)大前程》中女性形象分析

摘  要：作為維多利亞時(shí)期最重要的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義作家，查爾斯·狄更斯把他所有的思想和感受都傾注在作品中。研究他的小說可以更好得認(rèn)識(shí)作者對于人生的感悟和想法，特別是他對于當(dāng)時(shí)女性地位的看法。《遠(yuǎn)大前程》中兩位重要女性形象就是維多利亞時(shí)期典型的女性代表，她們開始嘗試對抗男性主宰的世界，而她們復(fù)雜的性格和個(gè)性是傳統(tǒng)道德和對舊世界反抗的矛盾斗爭的結(jié)果。郝維仙小姐和愛斯黛拉德斗爭行為也是為了尋找新的人生的一種嘗試，是女性解放思想的萌芽。在狄更斯的眼中，婚姻不該成為約束女性的枷鎖，女人應(yīng)該走出家庭，找到自己真正的價(jià)值所在。本文將通過介紹兩位女性形象的性格特征，以及對其成因的分析，使讀者更加了解當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)的女性地位和生活狀態(tài)。
