弗兰肯斯坦中贾斯汀莫里茨悲剧成因分析 　　摘 要：《弗兰肯斯坦》是英国女作家玛丽?雪莱的重要作品之一。贾斯汀?莫里茨是书中弗兰肯斯坦家族中的女佣，最后被诬陷致死。作为来自下层阶级的女人，她的一生充满浓烈的悲剧色彩，但她却很少被评论家或读者所提及和重视。本文通过分析贾斯汀的悲惨人生和结局，让大家不要忽视了那个年代这一类女性在肉体及精神上所承受的折磨和压迫。父权社会对于女性的忽视以及阶级偏见的双重打击，导致了贾斯汀的必然性的悲剧命运。她的悲剧代表着千千万万个下层妇女的可悲人生，她的死亡是作者渴望父权社会改变的呐喊。 　　关键词：女性；下层阶级；必然性；悲剧；父权社会；阶级偏见； 　　中图分类号：I106 文献标识码：A 文章编号：1674-3520（2014）-12-00-03 　　Introduction 　　Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley （30 August 1797 ?C 1 February 1851） was a British novelist， whose father was the political philosopher William Godwin， and mother was the feminist Mary Wollstonecraft.
