《我的光辉生涯》是迈尔斯·弗兰克林文学成就最高的一部作品,突出刻画了丛林少女西比拉·梅尔文与现实抗争、追求独立人格的人物形象。在以物质基础为支柱的传统婚姻中,西比拉不为金钱所动,向往的是真正的爱情。她唯一爱过的人是比彻姆,即便在他破产时也依旧对之不离不弃。西比拉从她妈妈、海伦姨妈和姆斯瓦特太太身上深深地感受到了婚姻对她们生活所造成的束缚。因此当比彻姆再次大富大贵后,她却拒绝了他的求婚,努力挣脱婚姻的桎梏。西比拉扭曲的性格和倔强的心理反映了她对传统社会观念的反抗和对自由生活的大胆追求。 My Bright Life is the most accomplished work of Myles Franklin’s literature, highlighting the idol character of the jungle girl Sibirla Melvin and the real struggle to pursue her independent personality. In a traditional marriage based on material foundations, Sybil was not moved by money, yearning for real love. The only person she loved was Bechum, even when he was in bankruptcy. Sibirra deeply felt the bondage of marriage to her life from her mother, Aunt Helen, and Mrs. W. Swart. Therefore, when Bechumu was once again rich and dignified, she rejected his proposal and worked hard to break away from the matrimony of marriage. Her twisted character and her stubborn psychology reflect her resistance to traditional social concepts and the bold pursuit of a free life.
