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

some
scholars

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
