我又在看 ,女主第一次进社会就在舞会上结识一名男子,马上就结婚生小孩了,紧接着她丈夫上战场战死了,她当了几年寡妇,又结识一名男子,经过几番波折才确认心意,确认心意之后马上就订婚了。
…那个时代的节奏都那么快的吗,没有谈恋爱一说的吗。

…我接下来要多看现代文学/女性作品了,我现在相当于在补知识空缺,很多名著我耳熟能详但是没看过原著,所以想补。但是以前的文学特别大的一个通病就是隐隐的性别/种族歧视。现在在看 , 里面有几个部分是 Mina 在收集信息方面帮了大家很多忙,但是具体出任务的时候男人们都说“这不是女人该做的事”“女人还是别掺和比较好”。虽然大家是真的感激并关心 Mina, Mina 也有表达自己对于置身事外的不满,所以我推测作者是在描写一种现象,不一定是作者本人推崇这种观点,但是我看到了还是特别不爽,文中实在是借不同男人的口吻说这种话太多次了。我理解时代的局限性,但是我根本就不想看这种内容。

“And now for you, Madam Mina, this night is the end until all be well. You are too precious to us to have such risk. When we part to-night, you no more must question. We shall tell you all in good time. We are men and are able to bear; but you must be our star and our hope, and we shall act all the more free that you are not in the danger, such as we are.”
All the men, even Jonathan, seemed relieved; but it did not seem to me good that they should brave danger and, perhaps, lessen their safety—strength being the best safety—through care of me; but their minds were made up, and, though it was a bitter pill for me to swallow, I could say nothing, save to accept their chivalrous care of me.
[...]
Manlike, they had told me to go to bed and sleep; as if a woman can sleep when those she loves are in danger! I shall lie down and pretend to sleep, lest Jonathan have added anxiety about me when he returns.
其它节选:
“but it is no place for a woman”
“A brave man’s blood is the best thing on this earth when a woman is in trouble.”
“then he cried, till he laughed again; and laughed and cried together, just as a woman does. I tried to be stern with him, as one is to a woman under the circumstances”
“are we not pledged?—to destroy this monster; but it is no part for a woman. Even if she be not harmed, her heart may fail her in so much and so many horrors; and hereafter she may suffer”
“I am truly thankful that she is to be left out of our future work, and even of our deliberations. It is too great a strain for a woman to bear.”
真的太难看了,太难看了。
