THE AGE OF INNOCENCE
The Age of Innocence is an unfading novel which has been regarded as the perfect one of Edith Wharton's.The author created the characters and refined the materials from her personal experience and familiar environment.Its theme was rooted in realism.In this novel, the clue of Beaufort's fate stood in contrast to the plotline of Archer's disastrous love, which had left the common love story with the profound social significance.In the 1870s, it was immoral for women to get a divorce in the American upper cla.Ellen Olenska, a counte coming back to New York from Europe, was such a shamele woman.However, her coming back provoked a commotion in the lifele upper cla.Ellen's cousin, May Welland, was engaged to Newland Archer.Faced with all kinds of behaviours of Ellen after her coming back, Archer, unlike other high-society people who thought of her as a over-coquettish and loose woman , quite appreciated Ellen who had the courage to break the stereotypical image.He was never satisfied with such rigid rules that women couldn't expre their feeling freely and catch other people's eyes.They couldn't divorce their husbands even though their marriage was unhappy.At this point, Ellen's appearance stirred up his rethinking of his own marriage, the freedom of women and even the deeply conservative society where he lived.Gradually, the appreciation that Archer showed for Ellen turned to love.At the same time, Ellen was slowly coming to accept Archer' love.However, Archer had many constraints from traditional etiquette that always reminded him that he could not run counter to what he had been given.He should stick to the old system to keep his engagement to May.He should do his best to preserve the honor of two families, which would not allow him to rebel against orthodoxy and do anything wilder.Finally, Archer married May under such mundane situation.But Archer soon began to lose himself with their marriage's bondage and more profoundly, he knew that the woman he really loved was Ellen.Archer could not cheat himself any more and decided to pour his heart out about his love to Ellen who was suffering equally.Although May already suspected that Acher had an affair with Ellen, she kept silent and told them that she was pregnant.Ellen realized that she might hurt May and her child if she continued to pursue happine and love.Finally, she chose self-sacrifice and then left New York.Years later, Archer finally got the chance to meet Ellen.However, faced with Archer who had come a long way to visit her, Ellen just quietly closed the window that was open.This may be the perfect ending.The love triangle raised questions of duty, paion and morality and finally ended quietly.In my opinion, Ellen was the bravest woman among those characters for she always lived just like her desire.She, unlike other women who were afraid to cro secular and
traditional boundaries, had the courage to expre her love and her final leaving proved her spirit of self-sacrifice.Another three novels:
