乔治·艾略特早期作品中的叙事模式与远古成年礼仪式有着同构关系。主人公都实现了由自我中心主义到获得完整自我意识的道德进步。服从是实现成年礼的首要条件。磨难使个体意识到自我的力量与弱点,从而调整意识自我,以更开阔的视野认识客观世界的真实联系及自我与集体的联系。个体对记忆的虔诚及其对集体的归属感和认同感使个体自身以及个体与集体内部能够重新统一对立的力量,最终结束其成长过程的边缘姿态,实现对社会意识形态的认同和皈依。对成年礼原型的模仿体现了作者对个人及社会道德进步的倡导与追求。
The narrative patterns in the early works of George Eliot are isomorphic to the ancient forms of adult ceremonies. The protagonists have all achieved moral progress from autocentrism to complete self-awareness. Obedience is the primary condition for fulfilling an adult ritual. Tribulation makes individuals aware of the power and weakness of self so as to adjust self-awareness and understand the true connection of the objective world and the connection of self with the collective with a broader perspective. The piety of the individual to the memory and the sense of belonging and identity to the collective make the individuals themselves and the forces capable of reunifying the individuals and the groups internally and finally ending the marginal gesture of their growth and realizing the recognition and conversion of social ideology. The imitation of the prototype of the adult ceremony embodies the author’s advocacy and pursuit of personal and social moral progress.
