Margaret Hale is the heroine of Elizabeth Gaskell's 1855 novel ''North and South''. Indeed, Gaskell wanted the title of ''North and South'' to be ''Margaret Hale''. == Descriptions == From Chapter Seven... *"Margaret could not help her looks; but the short curled upper lip, the round, massive up-turned chin, the manner of carrying her head, her movements, full of a soft feminine defiance, always gave strangers the impression of haughtiness." *"She sat facing (Thornton ) and facing the light; her full beauty met his eye; her round white flexile throat rising out of the full, yet lithe figure; her lips, moving so slightly as she spoke, not breaking the cold serene look of her face with any variation from the one lovely haughty curve; her eyes, with their soft gloom, meeting his with quiet maiden freedom." Margaret was a character created to challenge stereotypes about women's role in the 19th century. The theme of challenging stereotypes is one which is integral throughout the novel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margaret Hale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
