拜厄特的小说拥有众多女性角色,因为作为一位女性作家,她十分关注从远古到维多利亚时代直至当代的女性的生存状态和心灵体验。《占有》中维多利亚的历史叙事大多是通过女性视角呈现的,故事也主要通过曾经一直在男权社会中保持沉默的女性的叙述声音讲述的。如此这般,拜厄特在重构维多利亚历史的过程中,使其维多利亚女性角色复活,构成一个颇具权威的集体型叙事主体,发出她们的声音,呈现她们的视角。 Byatt’s novels have many female characters because, as a female writer, she is very concerned about the state of existence and spiritual experience of women from ancient times through to Victorian times. Most of Victorian historical accounts of Possession are presented through women’s perspectives, and the story is also told mainly through narrative voices of women who have remained silent in patriarchal society. In this way, Byatt in the reconstruction of Victorian history, the revival of its role as a Victorian woman, constitute a fairly authoritative body of collective narrative, their voices, showing their perspective.
