论艾丽丝·门罗小说中的女性成长

On Alice Munro's Fictions: Growth of Women

艾丽丝·门罗的小说创作广泛地将女性作为书写对象,以细腻、敏锐的视角书写着女性的成长过程:从幼女与青春期少女的性别意识的形成,到经历恋爱和婚姻所面临的自我意识的成长,再到在逃离和复归中的自主意识的成熟。门罗对这一过程的探索和总结是从个性中把握共性,用女性生存的常态来丰富女性主义研究的成果,这使她的小说具有了不同于一般女性小说的独特意义:一是对门罗自身成长历程及环境的展现;二是对女性群体的引导与启示。这对女性主义批评及当今文学界具有一定的现实意义和启示,也对现实社会中的女性提供了精神指引。

Many of Munro＇s stories are concerned with women＇s lives. A frequent theme of＂Growth of Women＂in her work has been revealed exquisitely. A little girl comes of age,gender consciousness is shaped. She experiences love and marriage,ego is built. She escapes and restores,maturity and independence are gained. Munro explores and concludes,seeking＂similarity in difference＂. This makes her stories different from other stories about women. Her female characters are ordinary women,which enriches the study on feminism. It does not only serve as an reflection on the author＇s own life experience,but also an enlightenment and guidance to women. It is of great significance to feminism criticism and literary circle. Moreover,it is a spiritual guidance to the women in modern society.
