摘要
在福克纳的短篇小说《献给艾米丽的玫瑰》中,艾米丽的变态心理和悲剧一生一直都是评论家们讨论的热点。学者们多从心理分析和女性主义视角探寻艾米丽自我意识缺失和受父权制禁锢、摧残的一面。该文将从艾米丽的文化身份出发,分析其不是作为普通的女性,而是作为南方淑女的代表,被神圣化和非人化对待的原因。进而探讨艾米丽背负的南方文化守护者的使命,受到的家庭和社会的双重束缚,有过反抗却最终走向极端的悲剧根源。
In Faulkner’s short story“A Rose for Emily”, Emily’s abnormal psychology and the tragic life are the main focus of the critics. Using psychoanalysis and feminist perspective to seek the root causing her tragedy, the critics focus on the absence of Emily’s self-consciousness and the devastation from the patriarchal society. This paper attempts to analyze Emily in light of her cultural identity as a Southern lady. She is not an ordinary woman but a sanctified and dehumanized representative of Southern la-dyhood. As Palladium of the Southern culture, she is repressed by the patriarchal individual and community, and resists every change to retain the past in her own way. Her life is constrained by her cultural identity.
