玛格丽特·阿特伍德小说女性生存主题解读

An Interpretation of the Theme of Female Survival in Margaret Atwood’s Novels

作为一位极具社会责任感的女性作家,玛格丽特·阿特伍德通过真实刻画社会现实中艰难生存的女性群像,为读者展现出了女性生存中的流动性、矛盾性和被动性。在她的笔下,传统女性的生存空间更多是被禁锢且破碎的,性别与身份的压制让她们失去了更多保护自身、实现自我的话语权力和发展通道。但玛格丽特·阿特伍德还是为幸存下的女性勾勒出一条走出生存困境、通向光明的生活轨迹,即选择一种寻求神性、诗意生存的生存方式。

As a woman writer with a strong sense of social responsibility,Margaret Atwood depicts the hard-to-survive female images in social reality,showing the mobility,contradiction and passivity of women s survival.In her works,traditional women s living space is more confined and fragmented.The oppression of gender and identity makes them lose more discourse power and development channels to protect themselves and realize themselves.But Margaret Atwood still outlines a path to a bright life for the surviving women,that is,to constantly choose a way to escape and return,to seek divinity and to survive poetically.
