《简.萨默斯的日记》中的新女性面临一个普遍的心理困惑,就是成为完整的女人的理想与现实中的冷漠孤独之间的冲突。完整的女人的标准是独立自信又关怀他人。然而新女性虽然获得了经济上的独立自信,却无形中疏远了与家人的关系,变得自私冷漠。究其原因是女性为自恋所困扰,无法展示真实的自我。只有摆脱了这一困扰,抛弃假面,新女性才能够获得完整的自由。 The new woman in Jane Summers’ Diary is confronted with a common psychological confusion that is the conflict between the ideal of a full woman and the indifference and loneliness in reality. A complete woman’s standard is independent and caring about others. However, although the new women gained financial independence and self-confidence, they virtually alienated their relationships with their families and become selfish and indifferent. The reason is that women are troubled by narcissism and can not show true self. Only get rid of this trouble, abandon the mask, the new women can get complete freedom.
