女性主义批评视域下的《李尔王》

King Lear from the Perspective of Feminist Criticism

李尔王象征着专制独断的父权制权威;科迪利娅作为李尔王的小女儿,柔和温顺,具有强烈的自我牺牲精神,默默地爱着父亲,在父亲有难的时候挺身而出,不顾自己的安危,是个理想的家中天使形象;戈纳瑞和里甘代表着不肯顺从、自我意识强烈、野心勃勃的妖妇形象。女性主义批评让我们不仅关注到文本中占主导地位的男性声音,也让我们关注到被贬抑的女性声音。

King Lear symbolizes the authoritarian patriarchal authority;as the youngest daughter of King Lear, Cordelia is gentle and docile, with a strong spirit of self-sacrifice, silently loves her father, and comes forward when the father is in trouble, regardless of her own safety is an ideal image of home angel Goneril and Regan represent the image of temptress who refuses to obey, has a strong self-awareness, and is ambitious. Feminist criticism makes us pay attention not only to the dominant male voice in the text, but also to the degraded female voice.
