女性主义视野下多丽思·莱辛《野草在歌唱》中的玛丽

The Typicality of Mary's Image in the Grass is Singing——The Feminist Interpretation in the Context of Post-colonialism

多丽思.莱辛(Doris Lessing)堪称英国文学史上与弗吉尼亚.伍尔芙(Virginia Woolf)齐名的女性作家,她的作品涉及种族、性别、人生的丑恶等。她的处女作《野草在歌唱》为读者提供了南非殖民统治下的种族歧视和隔离状况,同时也让这一社会历史条件下的女性生活逐渐进入读者的视线。本文从女性主义批评角度出发,结合后殖民地的社会历史背景,试图探索小说中女主人公玛丽这一人物的典型性。

Doris Lessing may be considered as the peer who has the same great fame as Virginia Woolf in the history of English literature. It is the following elements that are concerned in her works： racial problems, male and female sexes, evilness and wickedness in human life. Her virgin show The Grass is Singing provides the readers with an access to the racial discrimination and segregation under the colonial ruling in South Africa, meanwhile, as well as the female＇s life in such social historical background. The paper starts the analysis from the feminist perspective, combines the context of the post-colonialism, and then tries to explore the female character Mary＇s typicality.
