美国梦的幻灭与女性“罪责”

Disillusionment of American Dream and Women's“Sin”

文章采取女性主义的视角,对《马丁·伊登》和《了不起的盖茨比》进行细读,指出其在艺术形式上如何着意安排事件,编织出具有因果关联性的小说情节,从而建立起"男主角/女主角"这组二元对立的角色关系。这些"文学惯例"经过情节的编织隐藏在经典文本中,成为父权制社会中文学话语的基本内容之一,且不断通过"文学权力"生产着关于女性的"知识",塑造着父权制社会中被贬抑的"他者"女性形象,强化着不公正的女性身份认同。

From the perspective of feminism, this paper mainly analyzes the plots of Martin Eden and The Great Gatsby, focusing on how the cause and effect relationship is created by organizing events in their plots to build the binary oppositions between the fictional heroes and heroines. This type of literary convention is involved in the traditionally canonized literary creations, which has become part of literary discourse in a patriarchal society and kept producing the ＂knowledge＂ about women by ＂literary power＂. This kind d literary discourse should be criticized for its formation of female !dentity of an ＂other＂ in a patriarchal society.
