勃朗特三姐妹作品中灵魂伴侣的情感生存空间

勃朗特三姐妹的代表作品中刻画了三位灵魂伴侣，他们的情感生存空间受到了物质层面、道德层面和精神层面的约束。在物质层面，19世纪的英国阶级观念仍非常强烈，两性结成伴侣不仅要有一定的经济基础，而且更注重双方的门当户对，门第差距是贵族和中产阶级都无法接受的。由于这一时期缺少健全的婚姻法律，因此崇尚道德风尚的维多利亚人用道德来约束人们选择伴侣，缔结婚姻都必须符合道德要求，否则就会受到相应的惩罚。另外，虽然这一时期伴侣的权力地位关系不平等，但是每个阶层都存在像三对灵魂伴侣那样能够做到灵魂交流、心灵相通、感情深厚、婚姻生活幸福的夫妻。可以看出，勃朗特三姐妹在维多利亚早期对婚姻推崇门当户对，强调婚姻圣洁，同时重视伴侣之间的爱与尊重。

The Space for the Existing of Affection between the Soul-mates in Bronte Sisters Works

Three pairs of soul-mates were presented in Bronte Sisters' works. Their affection was restrained at material, moral and spiritual levels. At material level, the idea of class was still strong in 19th century in England. When people got married, they valued not only financial basis but also social status. Class difference was unacceptable either to the noble or to the middle class. Because of the lack of sound marriage laws, the Victorians with high moral awareness restrained people's choice of marital partners with morality. The marital choice had to be made according to the moral standards, otherwise it would suffer punishment. Although the relationship between the married couples was unequal, there were happy couples who could communicate at spiritual level and had deep affection with each other,like the soul-mates in Bronte Sisters'works,which praised highly of the perfect matching of social status in marriage, stressed the purity of it and appreciate the love and respect in marriage.
