布赖恩·弗里埃尔及其剧作《家乡》评析

Analysis of Brian Friel and His Play The Home Place

爱尔兰剧作家弗里埃尔在"巴里贝格系列戏剧"中从历史文化层面深刻地呈现了爱尔兰人民的生存困境及其寻求民族文化身份的艰辛历程。在《家乡》中,剧作家通过"家"这一意象再次揭示了英国殖民历史的沉重罪恶感,并拓展和升华了民族文化身份探寻这一主题。

Brian Friel, one of Iriland＇s most prominent playwrights, gives deeply in the series drama Balleybeg the vivid description to the living dilemma of the contemporay Irish people and the hard history of their seeking for the national culture iderffication in the perspective of historical culture. He reveals in The Home Place the heavy feeling of guilt in the English colonial history by use of the image of family, and extends and even distills the topic of the national culture exploration.
