中文摘要：《珍妮姑娘》是美国作家西奥多·德莱赛以其姐姐为原型创作的小说。小说讲述了一个生活穷困但内心单纯善良的姑娘——珍妮，与其在打工时先后遇到的两个男人之间的爱情故事。主人公珍妮为了家人和自己的利益，抛弃了基本的道德观念，追求享乐。但由于身份地位卑微，只能做情妇，一生不被上流社会所接受，最后孤独终老。本论文主要从珍妮的道德观出发，结合当时女性主义观念的盛行，分析珍妮的性格特征所导致的悲剧命运的结局。发现其悲剧的原因不仅仅在于她自身的性格弱点，还有当时社会风气的败坏的影响——环境的变化促使珍妮的基本道德观发生了巨大的变化。其小说反映出的物质主义在当今社会仍然盛行，并旨在启迪新时代的女性同胞，要有敢于突破的创新精神，同时也要具备正确的物质观念。
