摘要

摘要:本文考察了《远大前程》中刑事律师贾格斯先生的角色,认为除了他作为郝薇香小姐和阿贝尔·马格韦契之间的隐藏纽带之外,他在成为埃斯特拉的漂亮小女孩之前的男性脆弱是一个必不可少的情节元素。贾格斯决定把这个孩子从贫困中拯救出来,也许还有卖淫,这使这位律师成为狄更斯的主要合作者和主要策划者。贾格斯的行为,在第51章中完全暴露出来,因此把他描绘成一个完全成熟的次要角色或配角。然而,他拯救艾丝黛拉的动机是模糊的,似乎是一个富有同情心的骑士精神的例子,或者在更黑暗的解读中,是一种控制性冲动的策略。

Jaggers the Plotter and the Pretty Child: Masculine Vulnerability to Beauty in Great Expectations

Abstract:

This article examines the role of the criminal lawyer Mr. Jaggers in Great Expectations, arguing that beyond his function as the hidden link between Miss Havisham and Abel Magwitch, his masculine vulnerability before the pretty little child who becomes Estella is an essential plot element. Jaggers's decision to save this child from poverty, and perhaps prostitution, characterizes the lawyer as Dickens's main authorial collaborator and key plotter. Jaggers's actions, wholly disclosed in Chapter 51, characterize him thus as a fully rounded minor or supporting character. His motivations to rescue Estella, however, are ambiguous, appearing to be either an example of compassionate chivalry or, in a darker reading, a strategy to control his sexual impulses.
