《兩個新嫁娘》是十九世紀寫實主義作家巴爾札克的書信體小說，透過小說中兩位女主角對婚姻的看法和概念，我們能夠探討十九世紀女人在社會制度和父權社會下的壓迫。本論文的第一章節，我們將利用傑哈·簡奈特的敘事學理論分析此小說中的聚焦問題、敘事時間的交錯，以及兩位女主角的個性和對婚姻的概念。而第二章節，我們將探討巴爾札克的寫作手法和他對當代婚姻制度的看法。最後，我們將用第三章節研究小說中兩位女主角在婚姻中的責任以及得失。 In this study, we will discover the duties of married life in Lettres of Two Brides, one of Honore de Balzac''s novels. We will use the narratological theory of Genette to analyse the focalization, the variation of narrative time and the characters of principal personages in this novel. As we explore the conception and the responsibilities of Louise de Chaulieu and Renee de Maucombe, two main heroines in Lettres of Two Brides, we can also study the style and the thought of Balzac. We will also discover the impact of the social system, such as the Napoleonic Code, on the situation of marriage through this novel.
