[摘要]　　本論文嘗試從性別文化政治的角度來(lái)重新詮釋簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)中性別的議題。闡述在維多利亞時(shí)期的父權(quán)社會(huì)中，女主角簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)如何反抗當(dāng)時(shí)的女性理想形象、反抗父權(quán)論述實(shí)踐，及挑戰(zhàn)當(dāng)時(shí)的性別權(quán)利關(guān)系。 中國(guó)論文網(wǎng)-英文版

　　第1章回顧國(guó)內(nèi)外有關(guān)簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)的評(píng)論文章，并從中找出了重新閱讀此小說(shuō)的理由。其1，簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)是否顛覆當(dāng)時(shí)傳統(tǒng)的女性角色1直備受討論但是尚無(wú)定論；其2，至今有關(guān)小說(shuō)中性別是透過(guò)什么樣的文化機(jī)制形塑而成，且簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)如何反抗性別主體的過(guò)程尚未有健全的討論。因此，本論文采用Weedon和Jordan的性別文化政治及Foucault的權(quán)利觀念來(lái)探討小說(shuō)中性別形塑的問(wèn)題，及簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)對(duì)維多利亞性別主體的反動(dòng)。

　第2章再現(xiàn)維多利亞女性理想意象，以便與夏綠蒂對(duì)簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)的描繪做1比較。簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)這1角色的描繪可說(shuō)是與當(dāng)時(shí)女性理想形象背道而馳，因此夏綠蒂與簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)受到相當(dāng)多人的批評(píng)。批評(píng)者控訴他們顛覆維多利亞的社會(huì)價(jià)值觀及女性理想形象；無(wú)可否認(rèn)，這些控訴正證明簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)顛覆了當(dāng)時(shí)傳統(tǒng)的女性角色。

　第3章舉例說(shuō)明家庭、學(xué)校，及宗教這3個(gè)文化機(jī)制如何透過(guò)論述實(shí)踐、紀(jì)律、與懲罰來(lái)形塑簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)成為1個(gè)性別主體。此外，這1章節(jié)也展現(xiàn)簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)如何反抗這些形塑力量。

　 第4章主要論述簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)如何抵抗Rochester 及St. John的誘惑，而不至于成為Rochester的情婦及St. John有名無(wú)實(shí)的妻子，并闡述簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)如何尋找到自我，成為自己的主人而非Rochester及St. John的他者。此外，這1章將Bertha詮釋為維多利亞時(shí)代性壓迫下1個(gè)被壓制的主體；但這并不表示Bertha就毫無(wú)權(quán)力可言，她透過(guò)暴力來(lái)展現(xiàn)對(duì)父權(quán)的反抗。

　第5章摘要了前幾章的重點(diǎn)，并指出這本小說(shuō)尚可探討的空間。本論文只著重性別議題的討論，而忽略階級(jí)及種族的議題�；�于Weedon及Jordan的觀點(diǎn)，性別、階級(jí)及種族都是文化建構(gòu)的產(chǎn)品，他們促成了不同與不平。因此，這本小說(shuō)中階級(jí)及種族議題也可從文化政治的角度來(lái)加以探討。

[摘要]　　This thesis attempts to provide an interpretation of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre in terms of cultural politics of gender by exploring the ways in which Jane Eyre resists being an en-gendered subject as an angel in the house and conforming to the ideal image of womanhood embedded in the network of power relations and discursive practices of the Victorian Age.　　In Chapter One, Introduction, I review the critical essays abroad and at home, and point out two reasons for rereading the already much discussed novel. For one thing, whether or not Jane is subversive to the traditional roles of women has been constantly debated and yet far from settled; for the other, there is yet no sound and systematic study on how the gender role is constructed and how Jane resists being an en-gendered subject and empowers herself. In this chapter I introduce the methodology—cultural politics of gender which is a combination of the ideas of such feminist critics Weedon and Jordan and Foucault’s idea of power.　　In Chapter Two, I represent the ideal image of womanhood in the early Victorian Age so as to offer a vivid comparison to Jane Eyre. Creating a heroine alienating from the Victorian ideal image of womanhood, Bront? aroused lots of hostile responses when the first edition of Jane Eyre was published in 1847. Bront? and Jane were accused of doing unconventional deeds and subverting social, political and religious institutions. Meanwhile, the contemporary negative reviews manifest that the novel really challenged the Victorian cultural norms and ideal image of womanhood.　 In Chapter Three, I illustrate how the three cultural institutions—family, school, and religion, which coincide with Gateshead, Lowood, and the representatives of Christianity in the novel—function to en-gender Jane as an expected gendered subject through discursive practices, discipline and punishment, and how Jane revolts against their power.　　In Chapter Four, I mainly focus on Jane’s resistance to the temptation of becoming Rochester’s mistress and St. John’s nominal wife, and on Jane’s quest for her identity as her own mistress. In addition, the mad woman, Bertha, is read as a subjugated subject under the sexual oppression in the Victorian patriarchal society. Under the sexual regulation, Bertha isn’t a powerless woman; instead, she demonstrates her resistance to the patriarchy through violence.In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and point out the room for further study. In this thesis, the issues of class and race are overlooked. According to Weedon and Jordan, these three terms, gender, class, and race are all culturally constructed, not natural. They contribute to difference and inequality. Therefore, I suggest that the two issues in Jane Eyre can also be discussed in the light of cultural politics of class and race.
