妥协或反抗:女性叙事中的男权压制——《我的生命对着——一支上膛的枪》与《父亲》对比研究

Subordination or Subversion:A Comparative Study of "My Life had stood——a Loaded Gun" and "Daddy"

艾米莉·狄金森的《我的生命对着——一支上膛的枪》和西尔维娅·普拉斯的《父亲》中的女性叙事,即人称转换、意象、倒装句式、语音、代词选用等诗歌要素,揭示出尽管女性叙事者都面临男权压制,但她们采取了截然不同的态度——妥协或反抗。这是由女权主义理论的流变与女性诗人个体经历导致的差异。

This article examines the female narrative in Emily Dickinson＇s ＂My Life had stood——a Loaded Gun＂ and Sylvia Plath＇s ＂Daddy＂ through the analysis of the shift of personal pronoun,the images,the inverted sentence,the sound,and the use of pronouns.This article concludes that although the female speakers are confronted with male domination,their attitudes contradict： one surrenders and the other subverts.This article also observes that the attitudinal difference arises from the goals of feminism at different stages and the personal experience of the poetesses.
