| 英文摘要 | Thogh as Shepard confessed, "it's hard for a man to say he can speak from the point of view of a woman" (qtd. In Shewey 150), the male writer is not to be excluded form writing a feminine text. Helene Cixous, thus, warns against confusing the sex of the author with the "sex" of the writing: "to be signed with a woman's name doesn't necessarily make a piece of writing feminine. It could quite well be masculine writing, and conversely, the fact that a piece of writing is signed with a man's name does not in itself exclude femininity" (qtd. in Moi 108). This is clearly exemplified through the female characters liberate themselves form submissive roles: one is characterized by a gradual reconciliation between men and women and the other by a literal and symbolic burning down of the father's house. Therefore, I attempt to approach the play from the female characters' perspectives, first by focusing on Beth and the dominating males around her, and then by analyzing the mother-daughter relationship between Lorraine and Sally. To help understand the hierarchical dichotomy of sexes with one exerting power over the other, some relevant concepts form feminist and psychoanalytic theories will be used to provide explanations for the problematic representation of women in this play. |
