通过对综合文献回顾及对所有与主题相关的文学作品进行对比分析和归纳，本文旨在分析倾城之恋与简爱这两部小说中所表现出来的两位女性角色在对于婚姻、爱情以及对于生活态度的差异，发现中西女性主义特征的差异：女权主义在中国的觉醒比较柔和，而西方女权主义对于争取权利的行动更为尖锐。对女性来说，无论女性多么无助，都应该努力争取生存权利，永不放弃追求真爱，收获美满婚姻。

InLoveinaFallenCity,BaiLiusuisordinarywomangrowingupinabigfamily.Yetshehastheawakeningofanunyieldingandrebelliousfemaleconsciousness.Intheoldsociety,women’sstruggleforsocialandpoliticalstatuswascharacterizedbytheuseoffeministmovementstochangetheirneglectedrolesaswomenandtofightforequalityandfairness
AfterBaiLiusu’sex-husbanddiedoflungdisease,herfamilymotivatedhertomournhim.Atthistime,BaiLiusuappearedtobecalmandordinary.
Shesatinthecornerofthehouse,slowlyembroideredaslipper.Shesaidinasubtleway:"Divorcedandgobacktobehiswidowagain,itwillonlyinvitelaughter!"Sheseemstohavenothingtodo,buttherearebutterfliesinherstomach.Shehatespeopletakingcontrolofherlife.
Insteadofgivingintomoralityandethics,sheresisted.TheWhiteMansionundoubtedlybelongstotheold-fashionedschool.
“Theirhouseholdsareoldclocks.Theirteno’clockiseleven.TheysingoutoftuneandcannotkeepupwiththeHuQinbeat.”
DivorcedBaiLiusu,wascondemnedbyherfamily.Herexistencewasnodoubtadragandsuperfluouswhenhermoneywasexhaustedbyherrelatives.BaiLiusulivedingriefandsilence,butnevergaveupdreamsofpursuingahappylife.
Inaspecificopportunity,BaiLiusuisacquaintedwithFanLiuyuan.“Theageisalreadyintheprocessofdestruction,butthereisstillmoretocome.”ThismadeBaiLiusutryhisbesttowinFanLiuyuan’sheart.Lovealwayshappensbetweentheselfishmanandtheselfishwoman.Twomortalpeoplemeetandlaunchawarofmutualtemptation.Aftercontinuoustrials,BaiLiusudidnotmakeanyprogressatall.Shewasanxiousandannoyed:

Evenpeoplelikemewhoareold-fashionedstillsaythat‘letyourfathertomakethedecisionwhenyouarefirstmarried,butlistentoyourownheartforyoursecondmarriage!’Youaresounrestrained;youcan’tmakeyourowndecision,whomakesthedecisionforyou?“ThenshewasevenmoregamblingstunnedandsetofffromHongKongtoShanghai.

3.2FeminisminJaneEyre
Gao(2013)introducedJaneEyreasanorphan,butshewasbraveenoughtofightforherlife.Hercourageandhardworkenabledhertomaintainherself-esteemandeventuallywinherbelovedman.HerintelligenceandindependencearedescribedinJaneEyre.JaneEyre’sfeminismcanbeembodiedinthefollowingthreeaspects:
1)PursuitforEqualityandIndependence.
JaneEyrelostherparentswhenshewasachild.SheliveswithherauntSarahReidandherthreechildren.However,theydonotlikeJaneEyre.Unfairtreatmentmadehersufferfrombullying.Atayoungage,shesufferedunfavorablegrievancesandpain.Heraunttreatedherasamaidandadoll.JaneEyrecouldnotstanditandhadanargumentwithheraunt.Herearlyfeminismsproutedatthattime.
“Theyarenotfittoassociatewithme.”
Mrs.Reedwasratherastoutwoman;but,onhearingthisstrangeandaudaciousdeclaration,sherannimblyupthestair,sweptmelikeawhirlwindintothenursery,andcrushingmedownontheedgeofmycrib,daredmeinanemphaticvoicetorisefromthatplace,orutteronesyllableduringtheremainderoftheday.
“WhatwouldUncleReedsaytoyou,ifhewerealive?”wasmyscarcelyvoluntarydemand.Isayscarcelyvoluntary,foritseemedasifmytonguepronouncedwordswithoutmywillconsentingtotheirutterance:somethingspokeoutofmeoverwhichIhadnocontrol.
“What?”saidMrs.Reedunderherbreath:herusuallycoldcomposedgreyeyebecametroubledwithalooklikefear;shetookherhandfrommyarm,andgazedatmeasifshereallydidnotknowwhetherIwerechildorfriend,Iwasnowinforit.
“MyuncleReedisinheaven,andcanseeallyoudoandthink;andsocanpapaandmama:theyknowhowyoushutmeupalldaylong,andhowyouwishmedead.”Mrs.Reedsoonralliedherspirits;sheshookmemostsoundly;sheboxedbothmyears,andthenleftmewithoutaword.
IthinkJaneEyreisarebelliousperson.Thefirstsentenceofthesecondchapterofthebookis:“Ihavebeenresisting.”WhatisJaneEyre’sresistance?Shedefiedtheunequaltreatmentanddiscriminationagainstherbythepeoplearoundher.Fromheraunttoacousin,eventoadomesticservant,theyconsciouslyorunconsciouslyprejudiceher,simplybecausesheisanorphanwithoutsocialstatus.Thisrealitymakesheryoungheartfeelagreatinequality.
Frombeginningtoend,JaneEyrehasalwaysadheredtoherownbeliefsandpersistedinheridealsandpursuits.JaneEyreisarebelliousaswellasindependentperson.
“Godblessyou,mydearmaster!”Isaid.“Godkeepyoufromharmandwrong-----directyou,solaceyou---rewardyouwellforyourpastkindnesstome.”
“LittleJane’slovewouldhavebeenmybestreward,”heanswered;“withoutit,myheartisbroken.ButJanewillgivemeherlove:yes---nobly,generously.”
“Farewell!”wasthecryofmyheartasIlefthim.Despairadded,“Farewellforever!”
Perhapsthequestionthatmanyreadershavetoaskthemselvesrepeatedlyis:whydidJaneEyreleaveRochester?IthinkthefactorsthatcauseJaneEyretoleaveRochesterareverycomplicated,suchasdisappointment,shock,evenfeelingsofbeingcheatedetc.Butaboveall,shefeltsodeeplythatifshedidnotleaveRochester,shewouldalwaysbeanappendagetothelatter,notanindependentperson.AlthoughJaneEyre’sfeelingsurgedhertostaywithRochester,herrationalitystillchosetoleave.
2)Pursuitforself-esteem
TheexperienceofJaneEyreinThornfieldisthemostexcitingpartofthisnovel.Atthisstage,shemetRochesterandfellinlovewithhim,whichreflectsJaneEyre’sfeminismideaandpursuitofself-esteem.JaneEyrelovesRochester.Rochesterhasahighsocialstatusandwealth.ForJaneEyre,hisstatuswassohighthatJaneEyrewashiredasahumbletutor,butsheneverfeltinferiortoRochester.Sheshowedgreatself-esteeminfrontofRochester.
WhenRochesterpretendedtomarryanobleladyinordertotesther,JaneEyresaidangrily:
“DoyouthinkIcanstaytobecomenothingtoyou?DoyouthinkIamanautomaton?----amachinewithoutfeelings?andcanbeartohavemymorselofbreadsnatchedfrommylips,andmydropoflivingwaterdashedfrommycup?Doyouthink,becauseIampoor,obscure,plain,andlittle,Iamsoullessandheartless?——youthinkwrong!——Ihaveasmuchsoulasyou,——andfullasmuchheart!(AndifGodhadgiftedmewithsomebeautyandmuchwealth,Ishouldhavemadeitashardforyoutoleaveme,asitisnowformetoleaveyou.Iamnottalkingyounowthroughthemediumofcustom,conventionalities,norevenofmortalflesh):——itismyspiritthataddressesyourspirit;justasifbothhadpassedthegrave,andwestoodatGod'sfeet,equal,——asweare!”
JaneEyrelovedRochester,shecouldhavelivedwithRochesterinThornfieldandenjoyedthelifeofthemanor.ButsherefusedbecauseRochesterdidnottellherthatshehadanotherwife.WhenJaneEyrelearnedofthetruth,shethoughtshewasinsulted.Inthefaceofthetemptationofmiddle-classlife,JaneEyrestillrefused,becauseJaneEyreisproud.Ithinksheis“pursuingfeminism.”
3)PursuitforTrueLove
InJaneEyre’slife,thepursuitoftrueloveisanimportantreflectionofherstruggleforself-realization.IntheeyesofJaneEyre,loveispure,simple,andsacred;itwillnotbeaffectedbysocialstatus,powerorwealth.JaneEyreisverysincereanddedicatedtolove.ThisisreflectedinherdedicationandstrongloveforRochester.
So,whenStJohnaskedJaneEyretomarryhim,JaneEyrerejectedbecausesheknewveryclearlythatshelovedRochester.
AfterJaneEyreleftRochester,shedidnotabandonRochesteremotionally,nordidshedisregardRochester'sphysicaldisability.Hercourageanddedicationtolovemademeadmireher.
3.3Thedifferentencountersandoutcomesofthetwoheroinesunderthedifferentpatriarchalsocialsystem
WesternfeminismoriginatedinEuropeandtheUnitedStates.FeminisminChinaisanothersourceofWesternfeminism.ThebackgroundofWesternfeminismandFeminisminChinaisdifferent.Westernfeminismhasgraduallydevelopedalongwiththesocialrevolution.Ithasexperiencedtheclimaxofthefirstmovementandthesecondmovement.Intheclimaxofthefirstmovement,literaturewasinfluencedbytheRenaissanceandtheEnlightenment,some“equalityandfreedom”viewswereraised.Thearrivaloftheindustrialrevolutionandthedemandforsociallaborresourcesalsoextendedtowomen’sfields.Italsocreatedmaterialconditionsfortheriseoffeminism.Therefore,inJaneEyre,theprotagonistJaneEyreshowedapositiveandprogressiveoutlook:Herstatusislowbutshedoesnotfeelinferior.Herappearancewasplainbutherheartwasnoble,andherlifewaspoorbutshewasself-supportingandself-reliance.JaneEyredemandedequalitywithmenanddefendedherownindependentpersonality,dignityandfreedom.JaneEyrelongsforandstrivesforself-relianceinmakingalivingandobtainingindependence.Shemadeit.InThornfield,infrontofRochester,sheneverfelthumbled.Instead,shethoughttheywereequal.Itwasherintegrity,nobilityandpuritythatshooktheheroandmadethemloveeachother.Thesearethecharacteristicsofanewtypeofwomanwhowasawakenedatthattime.WhileintheprocessofthefeministmovementinChina,theliberationmovementofChinesewomenbeganatthebeginningofthe20thcentury,whensocialunrest,political,economic,culturalaspects,werealldetrimentaltothedevelopmentofwomen’sliberationmovements,althoughtheXinhaiRevolutionandMay4thNewCultureMovementhavewonwomensomepowerinvaryingdegrees.Thesemovementsarenotbasedonwomen’sinitiativetofightforwomen’srights.Women’sliberationisnotthepurposeofthesemovements,butmoreisjustasignofsocialprogress.Therefore,inthiscampaign,womenarearmedwiththeideasadvocatedbymen,womenusemaleeyestomeasuretheirownexistence.Womenmeasuretherightsofwomentheycanwinwiththedegreeofmen'sacceptance,sotheyoftenlackself-reflection.Therefore,inthework“LoveinaFallenCity”,afterthefailureofthefirstmarriage,BaiLiusuplacedallherhopeforlifeinmarriage.FromtheresolutedivorceofmarriagefailuretotheresolutedepartureofHongKongforsurvival,economyismanipulatingbehind.
Westernfeminismisconsciousandspontaneousbywomen;whilefeminisminChinaisunconsciousandpassive.Fromthepointofviewoftheriseoffeminism,westernfeministsaremostlywomenwhoareeducatedbybusinessmenandloweraristocrats.Theyinitiatedthemovementbecausetheyaredeeplyawareoftheimportanceoftheirrights.Andtheyhavebeeninfluencedbytheenlightenmentthoughtssuchas“freedom,democracy,equality”inwesternhistory.Becauseofthisspontaneouscharacteristic,theirfeminismisnotmerelydevotedtogainingtherightsthroughmen’salms,butratherthedirectquestionofpatriarchywithmovementpractice,showingarevolutionarytension.Therefore,intheworkofJaneEyre,JaneEyreisalsoaboldprotesterintermsofreligiousbeliefs.ShedoesnotwanttomarrySt.JohnandblindlybelievesthatGodcanbringhappinesstohumanity.Thissuspicionandresistancetotraditionaleducationandreligionfullyreflectstheconflictbetweennewwomenandthetraditionalsociety.Atthesametime,italsoshowsbraveandcourageousrebelliousspirit.
ComparedwithwomenintheWest,Chinesewomendonotautomaticallysensethenecessitytoprotectwomen’srights.Theyhavenosubjectiveinitiative.Inthesenseofwomen'sawakening,theyareinfluencedbyWesternfeminism,ratherthanbeingawareoftheinequalityofgenderdifferencesinthesocietyofthetimes.MostChinesewomenaremorewillingtoenduretheoppressionofthepatriarchy.Therefore,intheworkLoveinAFallenCity,thisisastoryaboutsurvivalandmarriage,astoryofanabandonedwomanwhofinallyredeemedherselfafterherdyingstruggle.TheawakeningoffeminisminBaiLiusuismorepassive,soreaderswillfindinthearticlethat,eveninthepursuitofmaritalhappiness,hermarriageisonlyanemptycity,andtheacquisitionofthisemptycityisonlyduetothewar.Itis“thefallofHongKongthatcontributedtohersuccess.”WecanseethatBaiLiusuisstillanoldwomenwithnewwomen'sappearances.Hermarriagecannotbesuccessfulwithouttwonecessaryconditions.Firstly,thesocialturmoilatthattimegavethetwoyoungpeopleachancetosharesufferings.Secondly,thebackgroundoftheheroandtheexperienceofstayingabroadmadethemaleprotagonistmoreopenandmoreacceptabletotheideaoftheheroine.Inotherwords,womenaregainingrightsthroughmalealms.So,attheendofthisnovel,thesuddeneruptionofwarmadeBaiLiusuunexpectedlygotwhatshewanted---marriage.
