《玩偶之家》、《康蒂妲》和《终身大事》女性形象之比较

Comparative Study of Women Images in A Doll's House, Candida and The Greatest Event in Life

易卜生在《玩偶之家》中创作的娜拉形象,因其觉醒和出走震惊了世界文坛,成为女性解放的代言人,娜拉精神唤醒了成千上万的女性与不合理、不公平的社会进行斗争。《康蒂妲》和《终身大事》是在娜拉精神的感召下分别由萧伯纳和胡适创作的剧本。三部戏剧都是以女性在婚恋生活中遭遇的困境为出发点,反映不同社会环境下女性独立和女性解放的问题。三部作品中的女性形象虽然在人物塑造和表现深度上各有差异。

Ibsen’s Nora, the first woman to pronounce the “Women Declaration of Independence”, plays a significant role in the world literature as well as the women’s liberation movement. George Bernard Shaw’s Candida and Hu Shi’s The Greatest Event in Life are just the two plays written under Ibsen and Nora’s impact. Through the comparative study of women images in these three plays, it is clear to see that Nora and Nora type women compose a colorful portrait gallery of New Women in the world literature and Nora is not only an outstanding heroine in a play, but an eternal symbol of women’s awakening and liberation.
