摘 要
《远大前程》作为查尔斯·狄更斯的经典小说，其人物形象塑造深刻反映了19世纪英国社会的性别观念与阶级矛盾。本研究以艾斯特拉这一核心女性角色为切入点，探讨其在文本中的被动处境与挣扎表现，旨在揭示维多利亚时代女性的社会地位及其心理状态。通过文本细读与女性主义批评相结合的研究方法，本文分析了艾斯特拉在家庭、爱情与社会关系中的复杂境遇，发现其行为和命运深受父权制社会结构的影响，同时展现了她对自身命运的有限反抗意识。研究表明，艾斯特拉的形象不仅体现了女性在传统社会中的被动性，还隐含了对性别平等的潜在诉求。本研究的创新点在于将艾斯特拉的个体经验置于更广泛的社会文化语境中进行考察，从而深化了对其人物形象的理解，并为重新审视狄更斯作品中的性别议题提供了新的视角。最终，研究结论强调了文学作品在反映与批判社会性别不平等方面的重要价值。关键词：艾斯特拉; 性别观念; 父权制; 维多利亚时代; 女性主义批评
Abstract
"Great Expectations," as a classic novel by Charles Dickens, profoundly reflects the gender ideologies and class contradictions of 19th-century British society through its character portrayals. This study focuses on the central female character, Estella, examining her passive situation and struggles within the text to reveal the social status and psychological state of women in the Victorian era. By employing a research methodology that combines close reading with feminist criticism, this paper analyzes Estella's complex circumstances in familial, romantic, and social relationships, revealing that her actions and fate are deeply influenced by the patriarchal social structure while also demonstrating her limited awareness of resistance against her own destiny. The findings indicate that Estella's character not only embodies the passivity of women in traditional society but also implicitly conveys a potential demand for gender equality. The innovation of this study lies in situating Estella's individual experiences within a broader socio-cultural context, thereby deepening the understanding of her character and providing a new perspective for re-evaluating gender issues in Dickens's works. Ultimately, the conclusion underscores the significant value of literary works in reflecting and critiquing societal gender inequalities.Key words:Esther; Gender Concept; Patriarchy; Victorian Era; Feminist Criticism
