摘要
格拉斯珀尔《琐事》中的主角明妮·赖特在三十年的婚姻生活中,从一个妩媚动人、积极向上的少女蜕变成消极厌世、固步自封、心理压抑的人,最终杀害窒息着自己心灵的丈夫。她性格的巨大变化体现在她服装的变化、她那只被拧死的金丝雀和慌乱中未缝完的拼花被上。明妮·赖特的悲剧远远超越了剧本所承载的内涵,它向读者揭示了人们若缺失了真诚的友谊和伙伴关系,就必然导致精神崩溃并酿成人生悲剧这一深刻哲理。
In thirty years of her marriage, Minnie Wright, the heroine of Susan Glaspell's play Trifles, has changed from a lovely, active maiden into a passively cynical, self-closed woman with suppressed psyche, thus ultimately murdered her husband who has been suffocating her soul. The essential changes of her character are brought about through the changes in her costumes, the dead canary and the unfinished quilt pieces. Minnie Wright's tragedy has gone far beyond what the play conveys, it reveals to readers the profound philosophy that people will surely encounter spiritual breakdown and run into tragedy if they lack sincere friendship and partnership.
