英国著名女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的小说《简·爱》向我们展示了一个另类的外国文学女性形象。她和以往文学作品中的女性形象完全不一样,外貌普通,身材矮小,地位卑微,身世凄苦,但她却能以坚韧的毅力形成独立的人格,并坚持不懈地努力。在她身上体现了极强的女性意识,渴望独立、自由、平等。因此,简·爱是外国文学女性形象一次质的飞跃。 Jane Eyre, the novel by Charlotte Bronte, a famous British woman writer, shows us an alternative female image of foreign literature. She is totally different from the female images in literary works in the past. She has the appearance of ordinary appearance, short stature, humble status and miserable life experiences. However, she can form her own personality with persevering perseverance and make unremitting efforts. In her embodies a strong sense of women, eager to independence, freedom and equality. Therefore, Jane Eyre is a qualitative leap in the female image of foreign literature.
