writer

E.

M.

Forster,

widely

regarded

as

one

of

the

greatest

novelists

of

the

20th

century,

has

been

nominated

for

the

Nobel

Prize

for

Literature

thirteen

times.A

Room

with

a

View

is

Forster’s

magnum

opus,

published

in

1908,

but

it

didn't

get

much

immediate

attention,

even

from

Forster

himself.

As

soon

as

the

manuscript

of

A

Room

with

a

View

was

finished

in

early

May,

Forster

dismissed

it

as

a

load

of

nonsense.The

novel

is

certainly

not

a

load

of

nonsense,

and

it

didn't

get

attention

at

first

because

it

"came

out"

at

the

wrong

time.

Within

a

few

years

of

its

publication,

it

was

gaining

popularity

in

the

English

literary

world,

and

people

began

to

recognize

its

literary

value,

discussing

its

writing

techniques,

its

characters,

and

its

themes.

People

find

that

this

novel

seems

ordinary,

but

actually

has

rich

connotation

and

unique

style,

and

even

a

little

beyond

the

characteristics

of

theera.The

novel

grew

in

importance,

and

Forster

told

Paris

Review

that

A

Room

with

a

View

more

or

less

helped

him

get

where

he

is.

Forster

was

already

a

world-renowned

writer

and

was

giving

his

own

fiction

lectures

at

Cambridge

University.

These

lectures

were

later

published

in

a

book

called

The

Face

of

the

Novel,

which

is

still

required

reading

for

the

study

of

foreign

literature.A

Room

with

a

View

plays

a

key

role

in

Forster's

creation,forithas

solidified

Forster's

literary

style

from

a

literary

newcomer

to

an

icon

of

20th-century

English

literature

on

a

par

with

the

likes

of

D.

H.

Lawrence

and

Joyce.1.2ResearchpurposeandsignificanceEdward

Morgan

Forster

was

a

famous

English

novelist

in

the

20th

century.

His

novel

A

Room

with

A

View,

published

in

1908,

was

his

most

refreshing

and

optimistic

early

work.

In

this

work,

Forster

described

in

detail

how

a

woman

living

in

the

patriarchal

culture

gradually

submitted

to

a

loss,

and

finally

woke

up,

bravely

broke

the

shackles,

and

made

free

choices

and

pursued

happiness.

Therefore,

this

work

is

not

only

a

romance

novel,

but

also

a

coming-of-age

story

of

women.

In

this

work,

a

large

number

of

middle-class

women

are

depicted,

withthree

representativesbeingLucy,

Lavish

and

Charlotte.

the

status

of

women

in

China

has

been

greatly

improved,

and

the

country

protects

women's

rights

and

interests

in

all

aspects

and

tries

to

provide

a

platform

for

gender

equality,

women

still

cannot

escape

the

situation

of

being

objectified

and

defined.

Gender-neutral

women

can't

avoid

being

called

"tomboys"

or

"girlmen".

Why

should

women

be

gentle

and

weak?

A

woman

should

not

be

defined,

a

woman

should

be

whatever

she

wants

to

be.

In

A

Room

with

a

View,

a

society

is

shaped

in

which

men

have

the

right

to

speak.

Lucy,

Charlotte

and

Lavish

are

all

women

living

in

such

a

society,

but

they

have

different

personalities.

Lucy

hadbeentaught

to

be

a

lady

since

childhood,

to

be

a

weak

woman

controlled

by

men,

but

she

finally

bravely

broke

the

shackles

imposed

on

her

by

the

male-dominated

society

and

broke

off

the

engagement

with

Cecil.

Charlotte

is

a

defender

of

the

patriarchal

society,

but

she

still

has

a

sense

of

herself

as

a

woman.

She

is

a

hidden

feminist.

Lavish

is

a

classic

feminist,

who

promotes

her

views

in

unflattering

ways.

The

purpose

of

this

thesis

is

to

analyze

the

delineation

of

three

different

female

roles

in

order

to

provide

a

favorable

cultural

basis

for

the

construction

of

contemporary

female

views.2.1StudiesonARoomwithAViewabroadIn

1943,

the

famous

20th

century

American

sociocultural

critic

Lionel

Trilling

published

the

book

E.M.

Forster.

In

Chapter

12,

he

gave

a

detailed

explanation

of

the

scenery

of

the

Holy

Lake.

At

the

same

time,

he

also

commented

on

the

characterization

and

writing

style

of

the

novel.

Lionel

Trilling

said,

"E.M.Forsterisformetheonlylivingnovelistwhocanbereadagainandagainandwho,aftereachreading,givesmewhatfewwriterscangiveusafterourfirstdaysofnovel-reading,thesensationofhavinglearnedsomething."(Lionel

Trilling,1943,p51)In

addition,

the

artistic

skill

in

A

Room

with

a

View

is

also

an

important

factor

in

attracting

the

attention

of

critics.

Wilde

also

made

an

in-depth

analysis

of

the

novel.

In

his

view,

the

novel

marked

the

culmination

of

Forster's

earlier

artistic

skills.

In

addition,

John

Beer

shows

great

interest

in

the

stylistic

features

of

A

Room

with

a

View

from

the

perspective

of

symbolism,

and

makes

a

detailed

analysis

of

the

metaphors

and

symbols

in

the

novel.

John

Lucas

believes

that

music

plays

an

important

and

indispensable

role

in

this

novel.

Harold

Bloom

and

other

important

scholars

believe

that

A

Room

with

a

View

“has

aesthetic

significance,

which

can

be

explained

by

aesthetic

theory”.With

the

development

of

literary

thought,

more

and

more

critics

began

to

pay

attention

to

the

modernist

characteristics

of

A

Room

with

a

View.

Stephen

K.

Rand

considers

Lucy

to

be

Forster's

first

true

heroine.

At

present,

these

studies

have

provided

different

perspectives

for

the

analysis

of

Forster's

works,

not

only

diversifying

the

interpretation

of

Forster

and

his

works,

but

also

enriching

the

connotation

of

A

Room

with

a

View.

Critics

mainly

focus

on

his

portrayal

of

middle

class

characters,

as

well

as

his

humanistic

ideas,

symbolic

artistic

expression

and

transitional

characteristics.

These

studies

are

comprehensive,

in-depth

and

detailed.

Scholars

have

also

used

aesthetic

theory,

psychological

analysis,

gender

and

sexuality

studies,

comparative

studies

and

even

formalist

theories

to

analyze

A

Room

with

a

View.

These

studies

not

only

make

us

have

a

deeper

understanding

of

Forster

as

an

outstanding

and

special

writer,

but

also

provide

valuable

reference

for

later

researchers.2.2StudiesonARoomwithAViewatHomeFrom

the

perspective

of

feminism,

many

scholars

believe

that

gender

is

a

prominent

theme

in

the

novel

A

Room

with

a

View.

Hu

Zhenming

(2002)

said

in

Distance,

Air,

Landscape

--

A

Simple

Analysis

of

Female

Consciousness

in

A

Room

with

a

View

that

the

hostess

explained

how

to

rely

on

female

self-consciousness

awakening,

and

gradually

deconstructed

the

moral

principles

and

concepts

of

the

patriarchal

society,

and

finally

achieved

the

process

of

establishing

female

self-consciousness.

Liu

Yang

(2012)

also

discussed

Lucy's

awakening

of

female

consciousness

in

A

Room

with

a

View

from

the

perspective

of

feminism.From

a

cultural

point

of

view,

some

scholars

speakhighlyofForster’snovels.

Liberal

humanism

and

the

"stunted

heart".

For

example,

Professor

Li

Jianbo

(2017)

pointed

out

in

his

monograph

that

A

Room

with

a

View

emphasizes

ethical

exploration.

Professor

Tao

Jiajun

tries

to

explain

the

theme

of

"connection"

in

Forster's

novels

through

the

evolution

of

Forster's

dual

cultural

identity,

hoping

to

truly

integrate

different

cultures.

Zhang

Qianqian

(2007)

constructed

and

examined

the

cultural

view

of

novels.

Based

on

Forster's

"Italian

novel"

A

Room

with

a

View,

she

discusses

the

significance

of

Forster's

concept

of

"connection"

and

points

out

its

practical

significance

in

cross-cultural

communication.From

the

perspective

of

symbolism,

Shao

Xiaohui

(2016)

analyzed

the

unique

charm

of

Forster's

language

in

A

Room

with

a

View,

allowing

people

to

have

a

profound

insight

into

Forster's

ingenious

mind.

Skillful

writing

and

subtle

yet

well-timed

symbolism.2.3TherelatedconceptFor

a

long

time,

women

were

supposed

to

be

soft,

docile,

quiet

and

weak.

Men,

on

the

other

hand,

are

supposed

to

be

strong,

brave,

resolute,

decisive,

and

powerful.

Such

gender

stereotypes

undermine

women's

image

and

status

from

the

bottom

of

their

hearts.

The

secondary

sexual

status

of

women

is

so

pervasive

and

so

persistent.

In

such

a

cross-history

and

cross-culture

universal

social

structure,

women

are

in

an

unequal

position

with

men

in

politics,

economy,

culture,

ideology,

cognition,

concept,

ethics

and

other

fields.

Even

in

the

private

sphere

such

as

family,

women

are

also

in

an

unequal

position

with

men.

In

such

a

society,

women

are

judged

solely

by

whether

they

conform

to

the

rules,

and

anyirregularityis

considered

heresy.

In

such

societies,

women

are

oppressed,

excluded

and

marginalized.

Therefore,

in

order

to

pursue

self.The

feminist

wave

is

usually

divided

into

three

waves,

while

the

fourth

wave

is

emerging

with

the

technological

intuition

and

the

influence

of

global

society

and

culture.

and

promoteequality,womenbegan

to

revolt

and

feminism

began

to

emergeThe

first

wave

of

feminism

centered

on

women's

right

to

vote

and

participate

in

democratic

government

in

the

United

States

and

Britain.

Women

in

the

US

were

given

the

right

to

vote

in

1920,

while

in

the

UK

women

over

21

were

given

the

right

to

vote

on

an

equal

basis

with

men

in

1928.The

second

wave

of

feminism

was

first

centered

in

the

United

States

and

then

arose

in

various

European

countries

after

World

War

II,

when

women

who

had

contributed

to

the

war

were

expected

to

return

to

the

family

style

as

housewives

and

mothers.

The

movement

focused

on

a

wide

range

of

issues,

from

social

suffrage

to

private

rights,

including

reproductive

rights,

pay

equality,

and

the

right

to

education.

Various

laws,

such

as

the

Equal

Pay

Act

of

1963

and

the

Women's

Educational

Equality

Act

of

1972,

gave

women

more

equality.

As

Tara

Anand

has

written,

"Prominent

feminists

are

middle-class

white

women

who

write

feminist

theories

that

revolve

around

their

own

experiences

and

difficulties."The

third

wave

faces

the

same

limitations

as

theprevious

waves,

namely

a

lack

of

attention

to

race

and

class

and

stereotypes

about

gender.

According

to

Encyclopaedia

Britannica,

"The

feminist

explorations

of

the

third

time

question,

exploit

and

redefine

ideas,

words

and

media

about

femininity,

gender,

beauty,

sexuality,

tenderness,

masculinity".(E.M.Forster,1978,p.104)

The

current

view

is

that

there

are

some

characteristics

directly

shared

by

both

sexes

that

perpetuate

the

idea

of

gender.

People

can

reshape

their

own

sexual

characteristics

to

include

the

full

range

of

characteristics

previously

associated

with

the

other

sex

and

other

genders.

This

process

is

called

anti-essentialism,

influenced

by

the

early

French

feminist

works

and

social

theorist

Simone

de

Beauvoir,whosemost

famous

sentence

is--No

one

is

born

a

woman.

In

other

words,

people

learn

sexual

differences

from

the

world

around

them

and

follow

them

all

the

time.

The

third

wave

of

feminism

challenges

daily

grooming,

advertising,

film,

television,

literature

and

the

media

that

stereotype

women.

And

the

Internet

began

to

allow

the

movement

to

reach

a

wider

audience.Beauvoir

points

out

in

AnIntroduction

to

the

Second

Sex

that

the

definition

anddifferentiation

of

woman

is

based

on

the

notions

of

what,

man

is

supposed

to

be.

Therefore,

woman

is

the

opposite

of

man.

Man

is

the

essential

while

woman

is

incidental,

the

inessential:

man

is

the

Subject

and

the

Absolute

while

woman

is

the

Object

and

the

Other

(Borde,

2010:

p.12).However,

in

the

society

described

in

A

Room

with

a

View,

women

are

marginalized

in

all

aspects

and

blindly

demand

themselves

according

to

traditional

standards.

Unconsciously,

they

are

shaped

and

shaped

into

a

"female"

image

by

the

society.

In

such

a

society,

women

are

self-less,

a

second

gender

to

be

examined,

rather

than

an

equal

subject

to

men.AnAnalysisoftheImagesofWomeninARoomWithAViewfromthePerspectiveofFeminismThe

setting

of

A

Room

with

a

View

is

a

20th-century

English

society

deeply

influenced

by

the

patriarchal

concept.

At

that

time,

men

were

the

center

of

society,

and

a

middle-class

woman

was

expected

to

be

an

ideal

medieval

woman.

In

the

Edwardian

era,

the

patriarchal

ideology

deeply

eroded

women,

making

them

lose

their

true

self

and

become

"women"

under

the

moral

standards

of

the

patriarchal

society.

Sadly,

those

women

who

repressed

their

own

desires,

restricted

their

own

thoughts

and

were

deprived

of

the

right

to

happiness

also

become

the

supporters

of

patriarchal

society

under

the

control

of

patriarchal

thoughts,

criticizing

and

trying

to

stifle

other

women's

self-consciousness.3.1LucyHoneychurchLiving

in

that

era,

Lucy

had

been

asked

by

her

mother

and

people

around

her

to

be

a

lady

and

become

a

lady

under

social

standards.Shewastoldthatwomen'smissionwastoencouragementoachieve,nottoachievethemselves,theessenceofwhichistoseewomenas"theother."But

her

self-consciousness

was

not

completely

engulfed

by

the

patriarchal

consciousness,

so

she

struggled

with

the

germination

of

self-consciousness

and

the

patriarchal

society

of

the

"ideal

medieval

woman"

under

the

requirements.

However,

it

was

difficult

for

Lucy

to

cast

off

the

shackle

of

the

long-standing

English

patriarchal

culture

completely.

From

time

to

time,

she

felt

that

there

emerged

"something

quite

different"

from

her

previous

cognition

about

the

society,

yet

she

did

not

know

what

it

was,

being
