乔治·艾略特在《织工马南传》中展现了社会生态失衡的现状,通过对赛拉斯·马南孤独人生的真实刻画,引发读者对人与人之间以及个体与社会之间疏离的困苦处境的同情和思考,并提出了解决办法:过去的记忆和纯真人性之爱的复苏将赛拉斯从极端的孤独隔离中拯救出来,治愈了他的精神创伤,从而为个体走出社会生态失衡提供了积极的借鉴意义。
George Eliot depicts the imbalance of social ecology in Silas Marner. Through the realistic depiction of the lonely life of Silas Marner, she arouses readers' sympathy and thought over the predicament caused by the alienation between the individual and the society. The authoress also gives her way out:the past memory and the revival of human love rescue Marner from the extreme isolation and heal his psychological trauma. This provides an invaluable lesson for the individuals to come out of the imbalance of the social ecology.
