英文摘要 | Molly Keane's masterpiece, Good Behaviour, is a story of development narrated by its female protagonist, Aroon St. Charles, who is a "big girl" - in terms of both figure and appetite-growing up in an Anglo-Irish Big House. Aroon's development is marked by frustration and humiliation. For one thing, despite the dwindling fortune and status of the family, the St. Charles nevertheless insists on a strict code of manner that sanctifies "good behavior," which imposes an almost inhuman control of emotions. In the name of good behavior, Aroon is treated coldly and cruelly by her parents, especially her mother, who deprives Aroon of physical nourishment and psychological comfort. As a means of survival, Aroon resorts to self-deception and pretends she is loved, so as to retain some form of selfhood however distorted it might be. Situating Good Behaviour in the tradition of Irish anti-bildungsroman, this paper probes into Aroon's failed socialization and its significance. Constrained by the social code of good behavior, Aroon's self-formation is better understood as self-deformation, for her sense of self is achieved wryly through self-deception, resulting in her double alienation from her society and even more devastatingly from her own self. With the anti-bildungsroman, Keane ingeniously uses the form originally meant for achieving development and self-knowledge to indicate the lack thereof. Whereas the denouement of classical bildungsroman lies in the protagonist finally accomplishing a sense of belonging, of feeling at home in the world, Aroon remains homeless even though she is mistress of her house. Aroon's failed socialization is what makes Good Behaviour such a poignant critique of the Anglo-Irish in their last days |
