《欲望号街车》中布兰奇悲剧命运成因的弗洛伊德式解读

An Interpretation of the Cause for Blanche's Tragedy in A Streetcar Named Desire from the Perspective of Freud's Theory

《欲望号街车》是美国优秀剧作家田纳西·威廉姆斯创作生涯中最广为人知的作品之一,对其女主角布兰奇·杜波依丝的研究一直层出不穷。本文致力于用弗洛伊德人格结构理论中的"本我"、"自我"和"超我"概念分析布兰奇·杜波依丝悲剧命运的成因。布兰奇成长于美国旧南方,深受南方传统价值观的影响。南方战败后,布兰奇经历了婚姻失败的创伤和自我救赎的失败,最终走向了自我毁灭。正是因为在这一过程中布兰奇的本我和超我矛盾锐化,自我无法调节本我、超我和现实之间的矛盾,造就了她的悲剧命运。

A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most popular plays written by the American playwright Tennessee Williams. The study on the heroine Blanche Dubois is also never short of popularity. This thesis focuses on the analysis of Blanche’ s tragedy from Freud’ s famous theory on the structure of mind （ id, ego and superego） . It is the deep influence from the southern tradition, the youthful trau？ma in marriage and the failure in self-salvation that lead Blanche to self-destruction. The conflict between Blanche’ s id and supere？go and the ego’ s failure in mediating among the id, superego and reality caused Blanche’ s tragedy.
