1. 研究目的与意义（文献综述）

agatha christie, one of the three precursors of the detective literature, is famous for the breathtaking plot, unexpected ending and vivid characterization in her works. during her fifty-five years’ writing career, agatha created 87 detective novels in total and was honored as“the queen of crime”. meanwhile, agatha lived in twentieth century, a period featuring booming feminism. in such a background, agatha christie, as a female writer, would be influenced inevitably by the burgeoning ideology. all of the influences can be traced in her writing, especially in the aspect of female image-building. to be specific, agatha broke the traditional style of detective novels in which males rather than females are in the spotlight and are able to commit various crimes. in agatha’s writing, nearly half of detective novels emphasized on female crime. and females were no longer subsidiary roles because they begun to possess the criminal ability as much as males. those females were as intelligent, brave and ambitious as males. with various motivation , they will take the role of offender without any hesitation, which can be seen as a protest to that patriarchal society. however, in that conservative british society, it was impossible for agatha to get rid of patriarchal influence. therefore, the feminist consciousness shown in agatha’s writing is limited and contradictory. through the analysis on the motivation of female crime, this paper will reveal the limited awakening of feminist consciousness in agatha’s works under the influence of deep-rooted male discourse.
