【摘要】：西尔维娅·普拉斯是著名美国诗人、小说家以及短篇故事作家。《钟形罩》是西尔维亚·普拉斯所著的唯一一部小说。故事的主角是青年女性埃斯特·格林伍德。当格林伍德对女性要求独立、平等的地位与女性被父权制社会定义为温驯的家庭主妇这一矛盾时，她逐渐陷入混乱乃变得至疯癫。只有她的女性意识真正觉醒之时，她才能获得新生。通过描述埃斯特的女性意识如何萌生发展直至真正的觉醒，普拉斯揭示了父权制社会是如何从意识形态上禁锢女性，如何通过“荣誉-羞耻”系统束缚女性的身体以及女性意识是如何最终获得觉醒。本论文分为五个部分：论文引言部分对国内外《钟形罩》的批评历史进行了梳理。论文第一章分析主人公埃斯特初入职场，如何逐渐意识到父权制社会对女性的定义就是温驯的家庭主妇。在这一角色定义下，女性被物化为男性的凝视对象。男权社会对男性和女性要求的两面性使得埃斯特陷入困惑。在这一时期，埃斯特的女性意识处于失语的婴儿时期。作为一个初出茅庐的女青年，她不仅遭遇到无法融入工作环境的挫折感，而且还为父权制物化女性为男性凝视对象这一现象深感焦虑和不安。第二章关注埃斯特与父权制的直接碰撞与她对父权制身体控制的反抗。论文分析父权制中“荣誉-羞耻”系统对女性的束缚，，接着分析了父权制在家庭中的影响，并通过戈登医生在埃斯特治疗全程中所表现出来的轻蔑和忽视的态度揭示父权制统治的医疗系统对女性的伤害。在这个过程中，埃斯特的女性意识处于反抗的青少年阶段。她试图抵制来自父权制的冲击，但无法冲破父权制强加的男女等级束缚。埃斯特最终选择了自杀作为逃避父权制身体控制的手段以示抗争。第三章论述埃斯特女性意识的觉醒及自我的重生。通过与诺兰医生相互平等的女性团结，埃斯特逐渐康复，并且看清了自己想要选择的道路。通过与镜像自我乔安的接触，埃斯特渐渐冲破父权制的控制，以前所未有的勇气和自信开始构建自己作为独立女性的身份。论文结论部分总结全文观点并且指出埃斯特的女性意识成长中遭遇困境过程对当代女性争取女性独立仍有一定现实意义和社会意义。
[Abstract]:Sylvia Plath is a famous American poet, novelist and short story writer. The protagonist of the story is the young woman Esther Greenwood. When Greenwood demanded the independence and equality of women and the contradiction between women being defined as tame housewives in patriarchal society, she gradually fell into chaos and became insane. Only when her female consciousness is truly awakened can she be reborn. By describing how Esther's female consciousness developed until the real awakening, Plath reveals how patriarchal society imprisons women ideologically. How to bind a woman's body through honor-shame system and how the female consciousness is finally awakened. This paper is divided into five parts: the introduction of the thesis reviews the history of criticism of bell-shaped hood at home and abroad. In the first chapter, the author analyzes how Esther, the protagonist, has come to realize that the definition of women in patriarchal society is a tame housewife. In this role definition, women are materialized as male gaze objects. The two sides of male society's demands on men and women make Esther confused. During this period, Esther's female consciousness was in the infancy of aphasia. As a fledgling young woman, she not only encountered frustration of not being able to integrate into the work environment, but also deeply worried about the phenomenon of patriarchal materialization of women being the object of male gaze. The second chapter focuses on the direct collision between Esther and patriarchy and her resistance to patriarchal body control. The paper analyzes the restraint of "honor-shame" system to women in patriarchal system, and then analyzes the influence of patriarchal system in the family. And through Dr. Gordon's scornful and neglected attitude throughout Esther's treatment, the patriarchal health care system harms women. In this process, Esther's female consciousness is in the adolescent stage of resistance. She tried to resist the impact of patriarchy, but could not break through the patriarchal hierarchy of men and women. Esther eventually chose suicide as a means of avoiding patriarchal physical control. The third chapter discusses the awakening of Esther's female consciousness and the rebirth of self. With equal female solidarity with Dr. Nolan, Esther gradually recovered and saw the path he wanted to choose. Through contact with the mirror self, Esther gradually broke through the patriarchal control and began to build her identity as an independent woman with unprecedented courage and self-confidence. The conclusion of the paper summarizes the full text and points out that the dilemma process of Ester's female consciousness growth still has some practical and social significance for contemporary women to strive for female independence.
