论温迪·华瑟斯廷剧作的喜剧精神

On the Comic Spirit of Wendy Wasserstein's Plays

喜剧精神是喜剧之魂。华瑟斯廷的喜剧作品传递了一种融生活、生命、生存三位于一体的喜剧精神,具体表现为日常生活中的批判反思精神,生命中尽情挥洒的自由狂欢精神和生存困境中的乐观自信精神。喜剧精神是管窥华瑟斯廷其人其作女性意识维度的重要视角,也是探讨剧作家借助喜剧体裁讨论女性问题合法性的有效途径。

The study concerns itself with Wendy Wasserstein in the comic mode. In the light of the idea of the comic spirit and the playwright’s own interpretation of the genre,the paper contends that Wasserstein’s major comic works vibrate with the comic spirit of criticism,carnival and optimism. The comic spirit serves as an important perspective on her feminist consciousness as a comic playwright.
