摘要 “疯癫中的挣扎和抵抗”一文 ,以尤金·奥尼尔《长日入夜行》为研究对象 ,重点探讨了该作品女主人公玛丽的艺术形象 ,尤其是她的吗啡瘾和吗啡作用下的疯癫。文章认为 ,玛丽的疯癫不仅成了她逃避绝望的方式 ,而且成了她对“贤妻良母”角色的消极反抗。在历经了 2 0多年的痛苦之后 ,玛丽拒绝继续扮演“家里的天使”,执意回到属于自己的梦幻世界去寻找女性的天空。玛丽的艺术形象 ,再现了 19世纪美国女性在传统性别角色重压下的无助挣扎和孤独抵抗。 This essay attempts to study Eugene O'Neill's artistic portrait of Mary Tyrone of Long Day's Journey into Night from the aspect of Mary's morphine addiction and her subsequent madness. The present author argues that Mary's madness is not only an escape from her desperation but a passive rebel against the stereotyped role of a mother woman.Having suffered for more than 20 years, Mary refuses to play the role of 'the angel in the house' any longer, insisting on the return to her world of dreams and in the search of a female utopia. The portrait of Mary represents the desperate struggle and lonely resistance of a 19th Century American woman under the pressure of a traditional society.
