”南北战争前后的美国南方，以骑士精神和淑女风范傲然于世，在它的光辉时期

”南北战争前后的美国南方，以骑士精神和淑女风范傲然于世，在它的光辉时期，不失为一种严肃的道德和行为规范，但历史的合理性消亡之后，种植园主昔日的威严和荣耀如流水落花一去不回，但其残存的旧日理想的余辉诱惑着处于历史交替时期的南方人，造成他们精神世界与客观世界、人与时代的严重错位，心灵始终处于内在的混乱状态。爱米丽即是这样的人物，她始终脱离不了旧日的影子，父亲在世时，她是父亲的影子，站在其身后，父亲挥动马鞭，赶走了所有向他提亲的人。父亲死后，她又成了南方传统价值体系下的影子：好不容易谈了一场恋爱，结果却在镇上居民和亲友的干涉下不了了之。她从未有过自己的生活，从未掌握过自己的命运，从未实现甚至从没想过要实现自己的价值。

”The southern United States before and after the civil war was proud of the world with chivalry and lady style. In its glorious period, it was a serious moral and code of conduct. However, after the demise of historical rationality, the former dignity and glory of the planter never came back, but the afterglow of its remaining old ideals seduced the southerners in the alternating period of history, It causes the serious dislocation between their spiritual world and the objective world, between people and the times, and their hearts are always in an internal chaotic state. Emily is such a figure. She can't get rid of the old shadow. When her father was alive, she was the shadow of her father. Standing behind her, her father waved his whip and drove away all those who proposed to him. After her father died, she became the shadow of the southern traditional value system: she finally fell in love, but ended up with the intervention of the town residents and relatives and friends. She never had her own life, never controlled her own destiny, never realized or even wanted to realize her value.

Before and after the Civil War, the American South was proud of its chivalry and ladylike demeanor. In its glorious period, it could be regarded as a serious moral and behavioral norm. However, after the rationality of history died out, the planter's former majesty and glory were gone forever. However, the afterglow of its remaining old ideals tempted southerners in the historical alternation period, causing serious dislocation between their spiritual world and the objective world, between people and the times, and their hearts were always in an internal chaotic state. Emily is such a character. She can't get away from the shadow of the old days. When her father was alive, she was the shadow of her father. Standing behind her, his father waved his whip and drove away all those who proposed marriage to him. After her father's death, she became the shadow of the southern traditional value system: after a long time, she had a love affair, but it ended up in vain under the interference of the town residents and relatives and friends. She has never had her own life, never mastered her own destiny, never realized or even thought of realizing her own value.
