秉承与突破——论阿特伍德《垂死边缘》中的女性观

Adherence and Breakthrough——On Margaret Atwood's View on Female in The Heart Goes Last

玛格丽特·阿特伍德在新作《垂死边缘》中通过展现女性的生存状态,对自己以往作品中传达的女性观既秉承又突破。阿特伍德继续反对男权社会对女性的禁锢,试图终结以"家中天使"为代表的传统观念残余对女性的钳制,并以女性身体主体性为切入点,打破"身体政治"的固有模式。同时,阿特伍德聚焦女性之间矛盾,直指"姐妹情谊"的弊端并对其进行破除,为女性争取真正意义上的独立指明出路。

Margaret Atwood adheres to her view on female presented in her former novels and breaks through it by revealing female＇s living conditions. She continues to oppose the restriction on female conducted by the patriarchal society and attempts to put an end to the influence of traditional ideologies like ＂angel in the house＂. She also uses the subjectivity of female＇ s body as the entry point to break the conventional mode of body politics from the gender perspective. Meanwhile, she attaches importance to contradictions among women and directly points out drawbacks of Sisterhood and overthrows it, which paves the way for women to get the true sense of independence.
