失衡权利下的诡谲景观——女性哥特主义视域下的《浮生梦》

The Uncanny Scenes Generated by Power Imbalance——A Female Gothic Analysis on My Cousin Rachel

达芙妮·杜穆里埃所著的《浮生梦》,通过哥特式的悬疑惊悚展现了主人公瑞秋迷雾般的人生历程,瑞秋是否有罪更是读者们内心重复追问的焦点。女性作家透过女性哥特典型的创作手法使小说萦绕在神秘且模糊的氛围里,并且故事中各式各样的诡谲景观暗藏着社会大环境中男女两性所持权利的差异,这也最终造成了悲剧的结局。小说既是对现实中父权制度威压下女性真实生存境遇的放大和关注,也是以达芙妮·杜穆里埃为代表的女性作家群体希望运用女性哥特主义的利刃以求得男女平等的对话机制和话语权力的深切渴望。
