安吉拉·卡特童话中的变形主题

Metamorphosis in Angela Carter’s Fairy Tale

安吉拉·卡特在小说集《染血之室与其他故事》中对传统童话故事进行改写,通过童话的“变形”与人体的变形,不仅将女性从男性“凝视”与对身体的桎梏中解放出来,更使女性在变形为神殿之外的老虎、狼人、吸血鬼等怪物的过程中,得以与被排斥在传统正典秩序之外的异类共谋,在异化中找到普遍人性逃逸和获得自由的途径,使生命得以发挥充分的可能与潜力。

In the Bloody Chamber and Other Stories,through rewriting the traditional fairy tales and human metamorphosis,Angela Carter liberates women from the“male gaze”as well as the shackles imposed upon them.Meanwhile,in the process of transforming into tigers,were wolves,vampires,and other monsters,she also allows women to conspire with the“Demonized other”who are excluded from the Western pantheon.Metamorphosis provides a way for all the living things to escape the oppression and embrace freedom,and thus enables life to give full play to its possibility and potential.
