人性的被缚与抗争——生态女性主义视角下的《红字》

Bondage and Rebel of Human Nature: on Scarlet Letter from the Perspective of Eco-Feminism

霍桑的《红字》在诞生一个世纪后,进入了生态女性主义文学批评的视野。这一视角的分析指出,以宗教为代表的父权制对人性残酷的压抑不但造成了诸多如海斯特这类女性命运的悲剧,也扭曲了男性生命状态,而回归自然、人性,于母性中汲取力量,是摆脱异化、重获生命和谐的希望与路径。

A century after its publishing, Scarlet Letter has entered the horizon of Eco- Feminist criticism, which points out that ruthless suppression of human nature by patriarchy represented by religion not only leads to tragedies of women like Hester but also twists the life state of men. Therefore, the returning to nature and humanity and absorbing power from maternity bring forth hope and method to shake off alienation and regain harmony of life.
