Abstract：In recent years, researchers at home and abroad have attached great importance to the studies of female consciousness. Accordingly, various studies on female consciousness have been evoked both in foreign countries and in China. Nevertheless, most of these studies focused their attention mainly on female rights relative to practical issues such as politics, economy, education and so on. However, this study attempts to explore how female consciousness originated from a literary angle. 

　　　In this study, we first get a general knowledge of the current situation concerning female consciousness, and then we search for information on the chosen subject. Through reading literary works and summarizing previous studies, we find out that most of the theses focused on different characters between these two heroines. We will study different social backgrounds in the 19c in these two countries along with their different personalities so as to find out what lead to the different fates of the two heroines and under which circumstance should female consciousness exist and develop. We hope that this study will shed some insights into the process of female consciousness.

摘要：近年来，女性意识受到了国内外学者的重视，而这在国内外也引发了一系列关于女性意识方面的研究。然而，这些研究主要是关于女性意识在政治、经济、文化等方面的应用。因此，本研究试图从文学的角度来探讨女性意识的觉醒。

　　　在本次研究中，我们首先对女性意识的现状作了一个大概了解；然后搜集本题目相关的资料。通过阅读文献和总结已做的研究，我们发现：大部分论文都只是从两个女主人公的不同性格着手。我们将从十九世纪两国不同的社会背景入手，结合两主人公的性格分析导致他们不同命运的原因以及总结出女性意识是在何种背景下产生和发展的。我们希望本研究能为女性意识的发展提供一些见解。
