奥尼尔剧中的厌女现象解读

An interpretation of misogyny in O 'Neill's plays

美国现代戏剧之父尤金.奥尼尔作为一位剧作家毋庸置疑是伟大的,但他却患有严重的"厌女症",这从他剧作中塑造的一系列扭曲的女性人物形象中可以得到佐证。奥尼尔的"厌女症"并不是与生俱来的,而是后天环境的产物。不幸的家庭生活经历、西方男权中心文化传统以及西方文学实践中的"厌女现象"是导致他患上"厌女症"的原因。

As a playwright, Eugene O＇Neill, the father of modern American drama undoubtedly is great, but he has got serious misogyny. This is showed clearly in the distorted characterization of female characters in his plays. O＇Neill＇s misogyny is not inherent, but the product of external environment. His unhappy family life, male-dominated western culture and misogynistic practice of western literature contributed to the shaping of his misogyny.
