摘　　要：The paper argues that the three women are all tragic characters and their tragedies lie in the fact that they only function as stones in Paul＇s life road to art and the world of men and their suffering from the imprisonment of the patriarchal society. The alleged tragic hero, Paul, is patriarchal, self-centered, and sometimes even sadistic. This paper gives respective analysis of the Victorian morality and industrial civilization. Mrs. Morel is pitifully diagnosed with Oedipus complex, which enables her to be a powerful hermaphrodite and gains access to power Miriam is also imprisoned by Victorian morality, but her world is not purely spiritual. Paul just cannot see the physical aspect of her, so he refuses to enter her world. Clara is the woman who makes Paul a real man, but Paul only sees the physical aspect of her. So Paul＇s patriarchal character is revealed in the discussion of these three women. This paper explores the cause of these women＇s struggle and points out that the problems these characters face still exist and need to be solved today
