寻找自我是《法国中尉的女人》主题之一,众多评论者认为查尔斯在萨拉的指引下寻找自我,而且最终找到自我。本文作者用拉康的镜像理论来解读查尔斯,进而来论证查尔斯并没有找到自我,人们苦苦寻找自我,而当找到它时,它却外在于我们,总是作为一个他者而存在,被自身无法掌控的外部力量所决定,永久地被限定在与自己异化的境地。 Seeking for self is one of the topics of “French Lieutenant Woman”, and many commentators think Charles is seeking self under the guidance of Sarah and eventually finds himself. The author uses Charles Lacan’s mirror theory to interpret Charles, and then to prove that Charles did not find himself, people struggling to find themselves, and when it is found, it is outside of us, always exists as a person, by themselves Uncontrollable external forces determine, permanently limited to the alienation of their own situation.
