田纳西·威廉斯《欲望号街车》的圣经原型研究(英文)

The Biblical Archetypal Symbols in Tennessee Williams'A Streetcar Named Desire

美国作家田纳西·威廉斯广受赞誉,尤擅诗意地吟唱关于骑士文化衰微的南方和郁结难解的南方美人的挽歌。该文拟从弗莱原型批评的角度探寻《欲望号街车》中环境、主题、人物的圣经原型,揭示这一悲剧之所以长盛不衰的深层原因及其对精神空虚的当代人的启示。

Tennessee Williams has been widely valued as a representative poetic playwright on singing laments for the declined cavalier South and the frustrated South belle. This paper aims at a different perspective, employs Frye's archetypal theory to research on the biblical archetypal symbols of the environment, the theme and the characters in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire and exposes the deeper reason for the success of this tragedy and its aspiration for the spiritually void modern man.
