《看管人》中威胁元素的前景化解读

Interpretation of Menace in The Caretaker from the Perspective of Foregrounding

哈罗德·品特早期的戏剧被称为"威胁喜剧"。威胁是品特戏剧的一个重要主题。其成名剧《看管人》中使用了大量偏离常规的前景化语言,如虚点、停顿等语言形式的频繁出现,重复、无逻辑及超长对白的使用,展现了品特戏剧中无处不在的威胁。

Harold Pinter＇s early plays are considered as＂comedy of menace＂,in which menace is one of the major themes. In his masterpiece The Caretaker,foregrounding is widely used,such as ellipsis and pause,and repeated,illogical and tediously long dialogues,which showed omnipresent menace in the play.
