【摘要】：乔治·艾略特（1819-1880）是英国维多利亚时期最重要的女性作家之一。她的早期作品《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》虽广受读者欢迎，但却饱受批评家的争议。自从20世纪70年代女性主义批评兴起，批评家发现这部看上去平淡的维多利亚现实主义小说的内部其实充满了冲突和张力。这种张力是由占主导地位的男权象征秩序和女性作者之间的冲突所导致的。所以本文旨在从叙事者、情节和人物描写三个方面分析《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》中的“女性声音”，藉此解读小说对于象征秩序的颠覆和破坏。论文的引言首先简要总结了过去对于《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》的女性主义批评的观点，并指出对于该作品女性主义批评的最新成果。之后对于在论文当中会使用到的女性主义理论做了简要的介绍。引言的最后介绍了论文的写作目的，即揭示《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》在叙事者、情节和人物描写中体现出来的女性声音。除了引言和结论以外，本论文由三个章节组成。第一章讨论的是“叙事中男权话语的女性颠覆”。本章首先提出小说的叙事者为男性叙事者这一观点，从而得出小说本身是男权话语的产物、处于象征秩序之内的结论。但是随着男性叙事者的话语权利在小说中的不断衰弱和女性作者的话语权的不断上升，女性作者颠覆了男权话语的主导地位；而这种颠覆是女性声音的表现形式之一。第二章讨论的是“女性和男性成长小说的二分”。虽然《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》中描写了玛吉和汤姆两个人的成长故事，但是汤姆（男性）的成长故事情节一直压抑着玛吉（女性）的成长故事情节。但是玛吉对于汤姆的成长故事的特殊“模仿”，其实是小说在情节上对于男权控制的颠覆和女性声音的彰显。第三章讨论的是“人物描写中的女性声音”，分析了玛吉、多德森姐妹和飞利浦这些人物的形象。玛吉对于叙述故事的喜爱、多德森姐妹对于丧葬暗指的使用、以及飞利浦的女性化描写都是女性声音的表现途径，在人物描写方面削弱了男权语篇的控制。综上所述，本论文旨在从叙事者、情节和人物描写三个方面揭示《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》中颠覆象征秩序的女性声音，，证明《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》不只是一本符合维多利亚时期社会价值观的传统现实主义小说，论文对于小说中颠覆和破坏男权语篇的现象的讨论，拓宽了《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》的解读视阈，为其理解提供了新的分析视角。
[Abstract]:George Elliot (1819-1880) was one of the most important women writers in Vitoria, England. Her early work, the mill on the floss, was popular with readers, but it was disputed by critics. Since the rise of feminist criticism in 1970s, critics have found this seemingly dull realistic novel of Vitoria. The interior is full of conflict and tension. This tension is caused by the dominant male power symbolic order and the conflict between the female writers. This article aims to analyze the "feminine sound" in the mill of the floss from three aspects of the narrator, the plot and the portrayal of the characters, in order to interpret the novel for the symbolic order. Subversion and destruction.
The introduction of the paper first briefly summarizes the past views on the feminist criticism of the mill on the floss and points out the latest achievements in the feminist criticism of the work. After that, it gives a brief introduction to the feminist theory that will be used in the paper. The "voice of the mill on the floss" is reflected in the narrator, plot and character description.
In addition to the introduction and conclusion, this thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter discusses the "female subversion in the narrative of male power". This chapter first puts forward the view that the narrator of the novel is the male narrator, and thus draws the conclusion that the novel itself is the product of the male power discourse and is in the sign order. But with the male narrative, the narrative is in the male narrative. The declining of the right of discourse in the novel and the rising of the female author's discourse power, the female author subverts the dominant position of the male utterance, and this subversion is one of the manifestations of the female voice.
The second chapter discusses "the two points of the female and the male growth novel". Although the mill on the flus River describes the growth story of two people of Maggie and Tom, Tom's (male) growth story has always suppressed Maggie (female) growth story. But it is Maggie's special "imitation of Tom 's growth story." "In fact, it is the subversion of the male dominance in the plot and the manifestation of the female voice in the plot.
The third chapter discusses the "female voice in portrayal". It analyzes the image of Maggie, the sisters and the PHILPS. Maggie's love for the narrative, the use of Dodson's secret to the funeral, and the feminine description of PHILPS are all the ways of the female voice, which are weakened in the description of the characters. The control of a patriarchal discourse.
To sum up, this paper aims to reveal the female voice of the subversion of the symbolic order in the mill on the floss River from three aspects: the narrator, the plot and the character description, proving that the mill on the floss is not just a traditional realistic novel that conforms to the social values of the Vitoria period, and the thesis subverts and destroys the male power in the novel. The discussion of the phenomenon of discourse widens the interpretation threshold of the mill on the floss, and provides a new analytical perspective for its understanding.
