海勒笔下的女性

An Analysis of the Female Image in Helle's Novels

约瑟夫.海勒的小说从男性视角出发,遮蔽了女性的情感世界、自我主体;把女性塑造成低于男性的“第二性”、“他者”、“另类”,要么是自然“性”征的符号,要么是欲望的化身,要么是死亡的象征,处于边缘和弱势地位。女性作为一种意象,指代肮脏的、可怕的、疯狂的异己力量,它与荒诞的社会合谋,共同构成对男性安全感的威胁。海勒通过对女性角色的设置,进一步强化小说主题,但是文本叙述方式呈现出的贬损、消极、厌恶的基调隐含了其鲜明的男性主义立场和性别歧视倾向。

Joseph Heller describes lots of female characters in his novels. He also draws that no matter which kind of social role the female plays, as a symbol for sex or desire or death, the females do not have sounds or thoughts of themselves, with no living space of their own, even names of their own. The author takes the position of the male and covers intentionally female sensibility and describes them as ＂the Second sex＂, ＂the Other＂. The writer further hints that the female acts as dirty, terrible , crazy dissident. The setting of female roles in Heller＇s novels has an obvious sexual discriminating inclination.
