《等待戈多》的主题学分析

Analysis of Anti-subject Theory and the Thematology of En Attendant Godot

荒诞派戏剧并不是没有主题,它的主题就是荒诞。也许因为这一主题过于抽象和深奥,或者因为它过于残酷,人们对它一直避而不谈,直到荒诞派戏剧家们把它放在舞台上,用灯光照得无处遁形,这也正是荒诞派戏剧的意义所在。文章根据日内瓦学派主题批评的理论思想,对"反主题"的荒诞派戏剧的代表作《等待戈多》进行主题学的文本分析,揭示其主题和子题串联成的一个脉络清晰的结构网。

It is undeniable that absurd theatre has its special theme, the sense of absurd. However, due to the abstraction and depth of connotation, people have few touches on the theme of absurd theatre until dramatists display it on the stage under strong light. It is the theme of absurd theatre that arouses people＇ s strong response with long - term influence. Based on the theory of thematological critics proposed by the Geneva School, this paper makes textual analysis on the thematology of En attendant Godot, the representative of anti - subject absurd theatres, discovering the distinctive network composed by the main theme and sub -themes.
