At the beginning, this TV series is easy to be associated with the classical plays, such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, South and North and so on。 If Downton Abbey was directed in traditional ways, it won’t have such a success。 Secondly, Downton Abbey is not British Empresses in Palace, because it won’t express intrigue, warped values, and won’t describe drastic class conflict。 Downton Abbey shows time from old era to a new era。 Because Downton Abbey just comes out more than three years, there are little researches on this TV series。 Among these studies, some researchers are aware of feminism。 Though only Edith and Sybil bravely pursue the woman’s rights, woman in Downton Abbey all expresses implicatively their feminism。 Comparing Downton Abbey with Pride and Prejudice, Shen Lin finds out a lot of common points which are the creation of feminism。 (29) Zheng Yun thinks that the feminism of Sybil meets resistance in drama (10)。 Yang Yao analyzes the characters of three sisters in Downton Abbey from the perspective post-colonialism (34)。 As a famous TV series, it has its uniqueness。 From character’s costume to story line, the TV series reflects the historical background of English and the aristocratic culture of Britain。 The women living in Downton Abbey all have their unique personality。 Downton Abbey involves two events which are Industrial Revolution and World War I。 Obviously, these events have great influence on British。 What’s the influence on the women of that time? This is worthy of discussing。 Accordingly, some scholars discuss the feminism of Downton Abbey。 With the development of society, people pay more attention to the topic of feminism。 However, feminism has different meaning in different times。 A famous star says “men should contribute to gender equality。” Nowadays, more and more women play an important role in different jobs。 They make great progress on new age。 In recent years, there are many researches on feminism in our country, and feminism has become a popular topic at home and abroad。 And this paper will revisit this topic of feminism from the point of role analysis。 从角色分析角度探讨《唐顿庄庄园》中的女性意识:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_98705.html
