| Abstract: | 友情是珍・奧斯汀小說中常見的議題。雖然小說中的親密與陪伴關係往往被視為友情最重要的元素，但《艾瑪》呈現了友情中複雜的經濟層面，以及該層面如何影響女性角色之間的友誼發展。本研究藉由兩項經濟議題：贈禮與婚姻市場機制，來檢視經濟考量如何影響《艾瑪》中友誼的發展。
論文的第一章旨在探討艾瑪・伍德豪斯與哈麗葉特・史密斯之間的友誼，以解釋贈禮如何作為一種經濟策略來換取友誼，而殘酷的婚姻市場機制則可能破壞友情。第二章分析了禮物贈送如何拯救艾瑪和珍・菲爾法克斯之間，那看似已經被婚姻市場競爭所消滅的友誼。第三章檢視了奈特利先生的善行如何產生了一種超越利益取向的贈禮，幫助他和貝茨小姐建立了真誠的情感。
透過分析《艾瑪》中友誼的經濟層面，我希望能闡明禮物贈送和婚姻市場機制，如何複雜化女性之間真誠的情誼。如此細品《艾瑪》將使讀者們對這本小說擁有豐富的理解，並啟發他們進一步探索奧氏作品中友誼背後，複雜的經濟議題。
Friendship is a common topic in Jane Austen’s novels. While intimacy and companionship are often seen as the most significant elements of friendship, Emma presents intricate economic dimensions that greatly influence the development of friendship between female characters in the novel. Delving into two significant economic concerns: the gift-giving and marriage market mechanism, this study aims to scrutinise how these two factors influence the development of affectionate friendship in Emma.
The first chapter of this thesis focuses on Emma Woodhouse’s friendship with Harriet Smith to explain how gift-giving can be used as an economic scheme to “purchase” friendship and how the cruel marriage market mechanism can disrupt it. The second chapter investigates how gift-giving can save the friendship between Emma and Jane Fairfax that seems to have been undermined by their competition in the marriage market. The third chapter explores how Mr Knightley’s charity produces a different kind of gift-giving that transcends profit-seeking purposes and helps build genuine affection between him and Miss Bates.
By elucidating the economic dimensions of friendship in Emma, I seek to shed light on how gift-giving and marriage market mechanism complicate genuine connexions between
women. This scrutiny will enrich readers’ understanding of Emma and invite further exploration of the intricate economic concerns behind friendship in Austen’s works. |
