【摘要】：《进入黑夜的漫长旅程》是尤金·奥尼尔里程碑似的自传性力作,刻画了奥尼尔年轻时期所经历的痛苦的家庭生活。奥尼尔的这部作品以1912年为背景,就在这一年他离开家并在结核病疗养院得到康复,同时开创了他的作家生涯。在民族使命感的促使下,奥尼尔的晚期作品多以围绕第一代爱尔兰裔美国人的身份认同危机问题而展开。本文将探讨《进入黑夜的漫长旅程》中的人物在权力话语背景下的身份危机问题。在身份、权力、话语等理论背景下,旨在阐释边缘人物的身份缺失及其发生的根本原因。奥尼尔对于身份问题的关注源于他的爱尔兰天主教移民身份并因此从小就受到势力的新英格兰人的歧视,加上父亲又是当时不受人敬重的演员,四处漂泊,他一生中始终感觉不到一个真正的“家”。因此,他努力探求身份缺失下的生活意义,他讲述的并非绝望而是希望,他最终传达出来的是生命而非死亡本文第一章通过分析身份、权力与话语的理论依据和内在联系,阐释在工业文明背景下,《进入黑夜的漫长旅程》中权力话语对身份危机有着深深的影响作用。第二章主要是通过分析剧中主要人物在社会和家庭中的所扮演的角色,关注人物由于自身性格特点所造成的身份缺失,最终表现出其在生活中的身份危机问题。第三章分析造成剧中四个主要人物身份困境的主要原因——民族与宗教信仰以及家庭归属感的缺失。在结论部分,指出奥尼尔这部剧中的人物本可以通过自己的努力来改变身份缺失的命运,但是他们都忽略了自己的力量。他们需要重新塑造改变自己,才能适应这个繁杂的社会,重拾自己的身份。
[Abstract]:The long Journey into the Night is Eugene O'Neill 's landmark autobiographical depiction of the painful family life that O'Neill experienced in his youth. O'Neill 's work is set in 1912. It was the same year that he left home and recovered from a TB sanatorium, and started his career as a writer. Motivated by a sense of national mission, O'Neill 's late works revolve around the identity crisis of the first generation of Irish Americans. This paper will discuss the identity crisis of the characters in the long Journey into the Night under the background of power discourse. O'Neill 's concern for identity stems from his status as an immigrant to the Catholic Church of Ireland, and as a result he was discriminated against by powerful New Englanders from an early age. And his father, an unrespected actor at the time, drifted around, and he never felt a real "home" all his life. So he tried to explore the meaning of life in the absence of identity, and he spoke not of despair but of hope. He finally conveyed life, not death. In the first chapter, by analyzing the theoretical basis and internal relationship of identity, power and discourse, the author explains that power discourse has a deep influence on identity crisis in the context of industrial civilization. The second chapter mainly analyzes the role of the main characters in the society and family, pays close attention to the identity deficiency caused by their own character characteristics, and finally shows their identity crisis in life. The third chapter analyzes the main reasons for the plight of the four main characters in the play-the lack of ethnic and religious beliefs and the sense of family belonging. In the conclusion, it is pointed out that the characters in O'Neill could have changed the fate of identity loss through their own efforts, but they have neglected their own power. They need to reshape themselves to change themselves. In order to adapt to this complex society, to regain their identity.
