谁的名字是弱者?——《荆棘鸟》中的女人们

Who is Weak?——The Women in Three Birds

本文分析了《荆棘鸟》中三个女人形象:菲、麦琪、贾斯丁祖孙三代,并试从作女儿、作爱人、作母亲三个方面论述了女人和男人的关系。同时指出在生活的艰难历程中,女人始终是以一个强者的身份站在男人身边,女人的弱者名称仅仅是男人对女人狭隘的认识和男权文化的反映。

This paper analyzes three women＇s images in Three Birds： Fee, Maggie, Justine. Whatsoever, it tends to demonstrate the relationship between men and women from 3 women＇s main roles as daughter, lover and mother, and finally, it concludes that women are always strong enough to stand beside men and even stronger when facing the cruel life and reality. It is because of the narrowness and power of men-centred culture that women have been considered weak.
