【摘要】：尤金·奥尼尔是美国优秀剧作家,也是普利策文学奖和诺贝尔文学奖的获得者。在其短暂的一生中,创作了五十多部作品。《榆树下的欲望》是尤金·奥尼尔的代表作之一,在其众多悲剧作品中占有重要的位置。在《榆树下的欲望》中,尤金·奥尼尔塑造了三个性格鲜明的女性形象,体现了尤金·奥尼尔的女性主义观。本论文用女性主义文学批评理论分析三位女性的不同遭遇,以展示女性处于他者的地位,并探讨女性在男权社会里所遭受的身心两力面的压迫。通过对文本的分析,本文认为《榆树下的欲望》中的人物是压迫与被压迫的关系。经济弱势和父权制意识形态压迫是女性悲惨生活的根源。作为丈夫,凯伯特掌握着物质财富,他是父权制的代表,通过父权制思想和清教徒思想压迫着他的三任妻子。三任妻子在凯伯特的压迫下体现出不同程度的女性意识。第一任妻子几乎没有女性意识,第二任妻子具有一定的女性意识,有了一定程度的反叛。而第三任妻子爱碧,可以说是与当时女性理想形象背道而驰的,显示出强烈的女性意识。她敢于向男权社会反叛,敢于争取自己的话语权,用实际行动去证明自己的爱情,为了爱情放弃了对物质的欲望。可以说爱碧是个具有自我意识的,一位不向父权制妥协的女性。本文通过女性为了摆脱自身的他者地位而做出的不懈努力,表达了尤金·奥尼尔的女性主义理想。女性在父权制社会里是被压迫的,她们不懈地追求解放,有的成功了,但是有的失败了。本文不只是评论女主人公的精神,更重要的是从女性主义视角理解作品中妇女解放的呼声,希望能给予当代人们以启示。
[Abstract]:Eugene O'Neill is an excellent playwright in the United States and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and the Nobel Prize for Literature. In his short life, he wrote more than 50 works. Desire under the Elm is one of Eugene O'Neill 's masterpieces. In his many tragic works, Eugene O'Neill portrays three distinct female characters in desire under the Elm. It reflects Eugene O'Neill 's feminist view. This paper uses feminist literary criticism theory to analyze the different experiences of the three women in order to show that women are in the other's position. And discusses the oppression of women in the patriarchal society. Through the analysis of the text, This paper holds that the characters in desire under the Elm are the relationship between oppression and oppression. Economic weakness and patriarchal ideological oppression are the root of a woman's miserable life. As husband, Keibert holds material wealth, and he is the representative of patriarchy. Through patriarchy and Puritanism, he oppressed his three wives. The three wives showed different degrees of female consciousness under the oppression of Keibert. The first wife had almost no female consciousness, and the second wife had a certain female consciousness. There was a certain degree of rebellion. And the third wife, Ai Bi, could be said to run counter to the ideal image of women at that time and show a strong female consciousness. She dared to rebel against the patriarchal society and dare to fight for her own voice. To prove his love with practical actions, to give up the material desire for love. It can be said that Abby is a self-conscious, not to compromise the patriarchal system of women. This paper expresses Eugene O'Neill 's feminist ideals through the unremitting efforts made by women to get rid of their other status. Women are oppressed in patriarchal society, and they unremitting in their pursuit of liberation, and some of them succeed. But some fail. This paper not only comments on the spirit of heroine, but also understands the cry of women's liberation from the perspective of feminism, hoping to enlighten the contemporary people.
