The Fusion Of Psychology And Reality

In this thesis. Charlotte Bronte's three autobiographical novels The Professor, Jane Eyre, and Villette will be taken as the object of study. The analysis will be focused on the features of psychological realism in Charlotte Bronte's novels. " Psychological realism", 1 think, is a way of interpreting the outwardly realistic world through a character's psychological perception and observation. Here, perception and observation bridge the gap between the psychology and the reality. The character's psychological world is within an externally ordinary world, and psychological states can project intense feelings on the outside world and re-establish an objective world in his mind. From the above, we can say that there is a psychological reality behind the external reality, and the reverse is true. Charlotte Bronte's autobiographical novels are characteristic of features of psychological realism. In her novels, with the characters' feelings, perceptions as a border, Bronte brings together the subjective and objective visions, and in this way, forms the dual compound structure of her novels both in its form and content. The introduction part tries to give a tentative definition of psychological realism and generally summarizes the main features of psychological realism embodied in Charlotte's novels.Chapter one analyzes the complicated inner world of her characters, and discusses the subjective emotion stressed by the novels: a dense fabric of interwoven emotion, unceasing inner course of struggle, and self-confession in love scenes. Chapter two analyzes the real and reliable description of the realistic world in the novels, and explores the objective spirit of the novels: real and vivid figures, real and touching life scenes, serious awareness of social criticism and of women's rise. Chapter three analyzes the creative artistic techniques used by Charlotte Bronte: the choice of the first-person narrative, subjective angle of vision, successful use of emotional alteration and imagery, and sentimental description of settings.
