荒诞的类比象征——论《动物园的故事》中荒诞派戏剧理论的运用

The Absurd Parody and Symbols:The Absurd Theatre Theory in The Zoo Story

在《动物园的故事》中,美国戏剧作家爱德华.阿尔比运用荒诞派戏剧理论,通过人类社会与动物园之间的类比和寓意深刻的象征手法来检视人类所处环境的荒诞,揭示人类因交流沟通的失败而疏远异化的过程和现代生活中的精神绝望,于荒诞中揭示出重大的社会现实问题。

An illustration of the absurd theatre, The Zoo Story by Edward Albee the American dramatist, presented a parody of human society. The drama examined the absurdity of human condition, and disclosed the experience of alienation due to the collapse of communication, and the spiritual desolation and despair that have resulted from modernity. Thus, through the absurdities, the drama serves to expose the problems in reality.
