摘要
本文通过原型批评理论讨论了《欲望号街车》女主人公布兰奇这一形象。文章证明布兰奇是由替罪羊原型衍生而来的艺术形象,再进一步考察她所具备的闯入者、净化者和牺牲者的内在特质,试图说明布兰奇并非传统评论中的不贞洁的女性人物,而是替罪羊式的受难者。
By way of archetypal approach, this thesis intends to prove Blanche Dubois, the protagonist in Tennessee Williams' s A Streetcar Named Desire, is a pure female rather than a loose woman from the perspective of traditional criticism. A sacrificial purifier and an intruder into a hostile environment, Blanche is bearing the characteristics of scapegoat archetype, thus, she can be regarded as a character deriving from scapegoat archetype, i. e. she is a scapegoat, not a dissipated woman.
