当代女性:由幻灭到抗争——评系列中篇小说《女人三城》

许艳文的《空城》、《雨城》、《戏城》三个系列中篇小说,各自相对独立,又有着内在的紧密联系,如果说《空城》是女性对理想的幻灭;那么,《雨城》和《戏城》则是女性对世俗现实的抗争,虽然抗争也许是无力的、甚至是悲剧性的,但毕竟是在抗争。从题目上看,作者也是匠心独运,寄寓了深刻的内涵和寓意。

The Bitter Butter Knife＂ Puttermesser＇s Problematic Paradise

This paper analyzes how the themes of magical realism and female divinity intersect in the novel The Puttermesser Papers （1997） by Cynthia Ozick. In the ＂Introduction＂, the writer defines magical realism and discusses its connections to Women＇s Studies. The next section, ＂The Bitter Butter Knife＂, discusses the protagonist＇s （Ruth Puttermesser） boring existence and pathetic attempts to connect to her Jewish ancestry. In ＂The Problematic Paradise＂, the author focuses on Puttermesser＇s attempts to take control of her life by creating the first female golem and the ups and downs of paradise. This author argues that the female protagonist of the novel utilizes magical realism as a tool of empowerment over personal oppression.
