摘要
《欲望号街车》中女主角布兰奇悲剧根源于当时不讲人性的传统社会伦理。美国南方传统伦理导致她对男性过于依赖而无法独立生存,当时社会对同性恋的仇视与压迫导致她的同性恋丈夫自杀,继而使得她生活在痛苦悔恨中,这两大伦理因素迫使布兰奇一步步走向毁灭。而田纳西·威廉斯正是通过这一作品揭露了人们对僵化的传统社会伦理的无所适从,表明了对新的社会伦理标准的渴求与呼吁。
The tragedy of the female protagonist Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire roots from the inhumane conventional ethics at that time.The traditional American southern ethics leads to her over-dependence on men and inability to live on her own;the social hostility and suppression of homosexuality cause the suicide of her homosexual husband,making her live in pain and compunction.These two major ethical factors result in her destruction step by step.Through this play,Tennessee Williams exposes the unsuitableness of people for the rigescent traditional social ethics,and indicates the desire and appeal for the new social ethical standards.
