乔治·艾略特本人过着离经叛道的私生活,可惜在女性观上却一直趋于保守:她认同女性身上的美德,其小说中的女性人物都被刻画为拥有美丽外表和崇高心灵的动人形象;她认为婚姻仍旧是女性最完美的归宿。其小说既揭示了女性在男权社会中的种种不公的遭遇,同时又强化了女性在婚姻家庭中的作用。这就是艾略特小说中独特的女性意识。同时,本文还着重挖掘了其背后所隐藏的宗教追求以及道德精神。 George Eliot himself deviated from the deviant private life, but in the view of women has always been conservative: she shares the women’s virtues, the female characters in her novels have been portrayed as having a beautiful appearance and a touching image of lofty hearts; She believes that marriage is still the perfect destination for women. His novel reveals both the injustices of women in the patriarchal society and reinforces the role of women in marriage and family. This is the unique female consciousness in Eliot’s novels.
