| Abstract: | 珍．奧斯汀不只向讀者描繪了她筆下男性角色的舉止，更精細地呈現了他們的內心世界。過去針對奧斯汀小說中，男性角色的研究，學者分別側重外在社會規範，抑或內在情感如何塑造、影響奧氏筆下男性角色的男性特質。但《勸服》中的男性角色並非完全受社會規範束縛，也非全然屈服於情感或慾望。
本論文旨藉由分析《勸服》中男性角色的觀看與閱讀，輔以十八世紀英國的歷史與文化背景，指出不同的男性角色，如何回應當代的社會價值，並勾勒出他們面對當代階級變遷和社會規範等外在因素時，鮮為公開談論的個人情感。本文第一章分析《勸服》中，瓦爾特．艾略特爵士對家譜的閱讀，與對人們容貌的密切關注，並藉此說明，社會地位如何衝擊本小說中男性對自我身分的認定。第二章探究溫特伍上校對前任情人安．艾略特、以及其他角色的目光，如何展現他對社交禮節敏銳的意識，並解釋他如何藉由對人的觀看，在社交禮節的規範與個人情感的驅動之間，取得平衡，展現出合宜的舉止。第三章探究海軍軍官如何藉觀看與閱讀抒發回憶。本章說明身為職業軍人，他們的社交表現、個人嗜好與私人利益，皆與他們的社會角色密不可分。隨著戰爭結束，從海上歸來，海軍軍官日常生活中的觀看與閱讀，不只透露了他們的內心，更影響或助長了他們與小說中其他角色的關係。
Jane Austen in her novels not only portrays her male characters’ manners but also carefully reveals their inner worlds to her readers. When Austen scholars try to account
for the importance of her male characters, they tend to focus on how social rules or internal feelings influence their manliness. However, male characters in Persuasion do not completely abide by social rules or succumb to their feelings or desires. By analysing men’s looking and reading in this novel through the historical and cultural contexts of Austen’s time, this thesis seeks to reveal how male characters respond to their contemporary social values differently. Even though the social rules and changing
social orders forbid them to express themselves openly, these male characters’ looking and reading truthfully reflect their private feelings.
The first chapter of this thesis focuses on Sir Walter Elliot’s reading of the Baronetage and his gaze at people’s physical beauty to explain how social status influences men’s self-identity. The second chapter investigates how Captain Wentworth’s looks at people and Anne Elliot, his ex-lover, suggest that he is keenly aware of the demand of proper manners. The second chapter also explains how his
looks mediate between proper manners and genuine feelings. My third chapter explores the theme of memory in naval officers’ looking and reading and demonstrates how, as naval officers, their social activities, personal taste and private benefits interconnect with their social identity. Returning from the seascape after the end of the war, naval officers’ looking and reading in daily life not only reflect their feelings but also influence, even nourish, their relationships with other characters in the novel. |
