The Tragic Life in The Bell Jar: A Feminist Reading of Sylvia Plath’s Autobiographical Novel THE BELL JAR
-
摘要: 西尔维娅·普拉斯的自传体小说《钟形罩》中充满了各种新颖独特的意象。通过分析这些反复出现的钟形罩、婴儿以及与死亡有关的意象等对小说进行女性主义的解读,揭示其隐含的主题:才华出众的女性在沉闷的传统社会习俗的压制下迷失自我,进而导致精神崩溃的残酷社会现实,呼吁仍生活在钟形罩中的女性主动掌握自己的命运,争取与男性同等的权利和自由,寻求自我价值的实现。Abstract: The autobiographical novel of Sylvia Plath, THE BELL JAR, is saturated with various novel and unique images. By analyzing these recurring images such as the bell jar, infant and images associated with death from the feminist perspective, this paper intends to disclose the theme implicated in the text: the relentless social reality in which the talented women get lost and broke down mentally under the great pressure of social conventions. It calls on the women who are still living in the stifling atmosphere of the bell jar to take control of their destiny, strive for the equal rights and freedom enjoyed by men, and search for the realization of self-value.
