《一小时的故事》中的讽刺艺术(英文)

Irony in the “Story of an Hour”

长期以来,许多评论家认为凯特.肖邦的《一小时的故事》是一篇女性主义作品。但本篇论文不仅从文章标题、语言的应用、主人公之间的关系,还从具体的情节以及作者自身所撰写的日记探索了故事中所表现出来的戏剧化的讽刺。肖邦尽管对女主人公持同情态度,但也对她的行为反应进行了一定的讽刺。总的说来,作者对女性所获得的独立自由的态度是矛盾的。

Over a long period of time, many critics have considered Kate Chopin＇s ＂The Story of an Hour＂ as a works of＇ femi- nism. But this essay explores the dramatized irony in this story, not only from the tide, the language, the relationship among the main characters, but also from the plot, the author＇s diary to reveal that though Chopin sympathizes the heroine, she puts bitter irony on her, meanwhile her attitude to the independent freedom is contradictory.
