On Transmutation of Self-consciousness in Thérèse Desqueyroux
As a classic female figure by French writer François Mauriac,Thérèse Desqueyroux reflects on her own situation in a patriarchal society and actively resists,breaking through the restrictions on the living space and spiritual emasculation of the female subject in traditional society.This paper is intended to analyse the whole process of the transmutation of self-awareness of Thérèse from the perspective of the construction of self-consciousness of female subjects.This process on the one hand shows the difficult situation of women's self-existence in the context of capitalist society in the 20th century,on the other hand,it foretells the inevitable trend of the development of self-consciousness of female subjects.
