摘要
《山羊,或谁是西尔维娅?》是爱德华·阿尔比获得托尼奖的著名剧作。这部作品展现了由人兽恋引发的一出家庭悲剧。在离经叛道的人兽交媾表面故事之下,隐藏着深层次的原型:山羊、犹大、美狄亚以及人兽交合。沉积在这些原型中的集体无意识表达了人类的欲求、忧虑和希望。在作品荒诞的外衣之下,反映的是现代人所处时代的特点和人们的生存状态以及悲剧性所在:在经济繁荣和科技发达的时代,人丧失了非理性的激情,失去了原始的活力,割断了与自然的联系,人与人之间背叛、疏离、无法互相理解和宽容。表达了回归自然、释放真我的渴望、协调理性与非理性的愿望和寻找精神家园的追求。
＂The Goat or, Who Is Sylvia？＂ was written by Edward Albee and won Tony Awards in 2002. It is a family tragedy caused by bestiality. However, below the surface of this absurd story, there are several archetypes such as goat, bestiality, Ju- das, Medea, etc. These archetypes reflect human desires, worries and hope. And this play shows the tragedy of contemporary human. People lose their vitality and passion. They separate themselves with nature. What＇ s worse, people cannot understand each other and tolerate heresy. Thus, it expresses the desire of getting back to nature and release the repressed self, the wish of harmonize reason with passion and the pursuit of spiritual home.
