也许这篇文章其实应该叫“为什么我喜欢达西先生”，但我自信这些理由也许能引起其他女性的共鸣。 达西先生常常受到男性的调侃。他不过是某位女性幻想出来的“完美男神”，现实中根本没有这样的人。许多男人会说，女人们该清醒点，接受现实吧（诸如此类，不一而足）。的确，有些喜欢他的理由看起来似乎有些轻飘飘。比如说他长得帅？但他是小说人物啊，完全可以根据自己的喜好想象他多帅（而且书中确实说他英俊，可是书里的“坏男孩”威克汉却被称为更英俊）。你可以说他有钱、有教养，可这样很容易被人说是功利，仿佛你只希望男人们都在水洼边铺大衣让你走过去。 不，我想，喜欢达西先生，是有几个非常正当且有说服力的理由的，我会一一道来：
他不擅长与人交谈我第一次读《傲慢与偏见》时，完全不知道它讲什么，也不知道剧情会如何发展，但让我第一次对达西产生共鸣的，是他在人际交往方面的笨拙。伊丽莎白在舞会上揶揄他太沉默，指责他傲慢，而他的回答是：“我确实没有些人那种本事，能轻松地与陌生人交谈。我无法揣摩他们谈话的语气，也不能表现出对他们关心的样子——我常常见到别人可以做到这些。” 哦，达西先生，原来你也是这样吗？一个被描写为英俊又富有的男人，居然在和陌生人交谈时也会无措？那我对自己这种毛病也稍感宽慰了。如果连你这样的人都不知道该说些什么，那像我这样普通又无趣的人，又怎么能强求自己应对自如呢？你不知道我有多少次站在人面前，脑子转得飞快，却仍说不出一句话。周围人似乎总能自如地闲聊，我却只能干巴巴地站着。 我也常担心自己给人不礼貌的印象，其实并非本意。希望我至少不像达西那样让人觉得“傲慢”。毕竟伊丽莎白初识达西时，身边的人几乎都对他印象不佳。 是的，简·奥斯汀在她的男主角身上赋予了我可以共情的特质，而这就是我愿意加入“傲慢与偏见”粉丝行列的原因之一。
他主动行动了达西先生可不是那种整本小说九成时间都畏畏缩缩、不敢表达心意的男主角（很多言情小说都喜欢这种拖沓设定）。简·奥斯汀没有故弄玄虚，也没有用“差点开口却被打断”这种老掉牙的情节。他确确实实走进伊丽莎白住的地方，鼓起勇气向她求婚。（当然，在现代，如果一个刚认识不久的男人突然向你求婚，的确可能让人觉得怪异，但至少伊丽莎白很清楚他的心意。） 而且——请注意——他被毫不留情地拒绝了。但他还是选择了冒险，剧情也因此得以推进！ 女性在向男性解释达西吸引力何在时，往往不会特别强调这一点，但我觉得这是一个非常关键的点。没有那种“暗恋多年、始终不说”的戏码。他会亲口告诉你他的感受。
他是有缺点的这点可能是我作为写作者格外喜欢的一点——达西并非一位完美无缺的“圣人”，正是他的缺点构成了他与伊丽莎白之间最初的隔阂。写作课总说，太完美的主角读起来很无趣。可浪漫小说偏偏喜欢塑造那种“深情体贴又有八块腹肌”的男主角，即使女主再怎么羞辱或拒绝他，他也死心塌地守候着她——老套又脱离现实。 所以，说达西“不真实”的论调其实站不住脚。的确，一个英俊、品行端正、还非常有钱的男人，在现实中的确少见，但他身上的缺点却让他显得更真实。他不太会开玩笑——即使到结尾也还是不太能接受伊丽莎白的打趣。他确实骄傲，这一点毫无疑问。他在结尾前虽然收敛了些，但还是满满的自尊与自负。尤其在电影改编中（尤其是凯拉·奈特莉那版）这些地方被淡化了。但在小说里，他真的不觉得拆散简和彬格莱有什么错——因为他真的认为简配不上彬格莱。甚至在第一次求婚时，他还花了好一段篇幅说明自己是在“降格以求”，你说伊丽莎白能不拒绝吗？在写给伊丽莎白的信中，他仍坚称自己对彬格莱做得没错。到结尾时，他还是不太能完全接住伊丽莎白的调侃。 至少他是一以贯之的。他的“爱情”并没有让他一夜之间变成与原本性格完全相反的人——这在许多小说中可常见得很。
所以，这就是我的一点小见解。不知你还能补充哪些理由？
我觉得，喜欢达西，并不只是喜欢一个英俊、富有、理想化的“男性形象”，而是欣赏他作为一个有缺点、有成长、有情感挣扎和改变的真实人物。 Maybe this post should actually be called ‘why I like Mr. Darcy,’ but I flatter myself these reasons might be shared by other females.
Mr. Darcy gets a lot of flak from guys. He’s just some woman’s imagination of the perfect guy, no real guy acts like that, women in general should just grow up and settle for reality (etc., etc.) And, well, some reasons for liking him are a little flimsy. He’s good-looking? Well, he’s a literary character, so you get to imagine him as good-looking as you like (and while the novel does describe him as handsome, the bad boy of the book, Wickham, is called more handsome). You could point out he’s rich, or that he’s well-mannered, but run the risk of being called mercenary, or looking like you want every guy to throw his coat over a puddle for you. No, there’s several very good reasons for enjoying Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, and I shall list them below.
He’s Bad at Talking to People
When I first read Pride and Prejudice, I really had no idea what it was about or what exactly was going to happen, but this part is what first gave me some fellow feeling for Mr. Darcy in the novel. Elizabeth is teasing him for being so quiet at the dance she first met him at (she accuses him of pride, which was partly the reason.) And he replies, “I certainly have not the talent which some people possess, of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done.”
Oh, Mr. Darcy, you too? A man described as handsome and rich, who still fumbles around in conversations with strangers? Well, then, I feel a bit better at possessing this flaw myself. If you can’t think of anything to talk about, why should someone so much less interesting as myself, ever be good at it? You don’t know how many times I’ve stood across from someone for many long, awkward minutes, with my mind going a mile a minute and still not having a word to say. While everyone around me can strike up a conversation without any effort at all.
I’m afraid I come off rude sometimes too, without meaning to be. Hopefully I don’t come off as proud. That’s what everyone Elizabeth knows first thinks of Darcy.
Yes, Jane Austen gave me something to relate to in her hero, and this is one big reason I can get on board with the whole Pride and Prejudice fan bandwagon.
He Actually Makes a Move
Mr. Darcy does not wait around ninety percent of the book, too scared to find out what the heroine thinks of him (which too many romance novels do). Jane Austen is not fumbling around for some device to drag out her plot, and does not decide to make him get this close to saying something to Elizabeth, before being frustratingly interrupted. No, he actually gets up and walks over to where Elizabeth is staying, and asks her to marry him. (Okay, it’s be a bit strange if a guy who liked you just straight-up proposed to you nowadays, but at least Elizabeth isn’t in the dark about how he feels). And – take note of this, guys – he does get brutally shot down. But at least he took the risk. And the plot moves on!
When females try to explain to males what Mr. Darcy’s attraction is, they don’t often explain this, but I think it plays a role. None of this ‘secret admirer for years’ stuff. He’ll actually tell you to your face how he’s feeling.
He’s Flawed
This might be a point for the writer in me, but I love how Mr. Darcy is not a perfect paragon of virtue, and it is his very flaws that separate him from Elizabeth for most of the novel. They always tell writers that heroes that are too perfect are boring to read about. Yet, for some reason, romance novels still keep pulling out endlessly romantic and caring dudes with rippling abs. Even when the heroine gives the guy ample reason to throw in the towel! But no, this guy is sincere and loves the girl for who she is… blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, this point directly contradicts the charge that Mr. Darcy is “too unrealistic.” I’ll admit finding a good-looking, virtuous guy who also happens to be rich is stretching things a little far, but the fact he has flaws makes him more believable. He can’t quite take a joke, not even by the end of the novel. And he is proud. He tones it down a bit by the end, but he has pride in spades. This gets toned down a bit in the movie adaptions, I think (at least in the Keira Knightley one), but for a long time he was not ashamed at all for breaking up Jane and Bingley because he really thought Jane was beneath Bingley. He actually, while proposing to Elizabeth, spends a long chunk of time describing how he’s lowering himself to do so (you wonder why she shot him down, huh?) In his letter to her, he still insists he did right by Bingley. And by the end, he still can’t quite take all of Elizabeth’s teasing, as I mentioned before.
At least he’s consistent. “Love” doesn’t turn him into the opposite of everything he’d been throughout the book before – unfortunately, I’ve seen this happen in too many novels before too.
Anyway, there’s my two cents on that. Are there any more reasons you can add? |
