摘要
In Winesburg, Ohio, Sherwood Anderson vividly presented a group of lonely people, deformed in spirit and depressed in life, and longing for love but lack of communication. Such ＂grotesques＂ became considerable images in the research of American literature history. Their life reveals the social role that women play and the change of the man-woman relationship in the United States when it was in its transition to industrialism at the beginning of the 20th century. From the perspective of feminism, this paper conducts a systematical analysis on the social life, social role and family role of the female ＂grotesques＂, and tentatively talks about man-woman relationship.
安德森在《小镇畸人》中栩栩如生地刻画了一群孤独的人物，一群心灵扭曲、生活压抑，渴望爱与自由而又缺乏交流的“小镇畸人”。这群畸人成为美国文学史研究中不可忽视的对象。对这群畸人中女性畸人的描写，揭示了19世纪未20世纪初美国中西部向资本主义工业转化时期，女性的社会地位以及男女关系的变化。本文结合女性主义的视角，从《小城畸人》反映女性的社会生活，赋予女性的社会角色、家庭角色几个方面系统地分析其中的女性形象，并追一步探讨两性关系。
