Abstract:Jane Eyre is one of the great works of Charlotte Bronte, a famous British woman novelist in the early years of the nineteenth century. The content and characters of this novel are influenced by lots of things: the author’s life, the Gothic romance-a very popular type of novel in that time, the influence of Sir Walter Scott, Byron and Wordsworth. It is these factors that help to bring about this masterpiece. Using four stages in Jane Eyre’s life, Charlotte describes how an orphan girl changes herself from an ordinary, unsociable and weak girl to a strong, mature, dependent and confident woman. And the successful characterization of Jane Eyre is one of the reasons that the book can get such a great achievement. My paper wants to analyze Jane’s rebellious spirit from the different stages of Jane’s life in the novel, and I want to illustrate that Jane’s rebelliousness is developed step by step along with her pursuit of freedom and equal status in life.
Key words: rebellious spirit, freedom, equal status
摘 要:小说《简•爱》是十九世纪初期英国著名女小说家夏洛蒂•勃朗特的伟大著作之一。这本书的内容、人物受到了很多事物的影响：作者的生平，当时非常流行的哥特式传奇小说形式，沃尔特•司各特、拜伦以及华兹华斯等作家的影响等等。这些因素促成了这部传世作品的诞生。通过简•爱人生中的四个片段，夏洛蒂讲述了一个孤女如何从一个平凡、孤僻、弱小的女孩，蜕变成为一名坚强、成熟、独立、自信的女性。而这部书之所以能够取得如此巨大的成就，作者成功塑造出简•爱这一形象是功不可没的。我的论文则想要从简•爱不同的人生阶段中分析她的反抗精神，并且我想要阐明，在不断的对自由以及平等地位的追求当中，简•爱的反抗精神是一步步的形成直至成熟的。
