作為劇作家、詩人、小說家，田納西·威廉斯在美國(guó)戲劇界占有舉足輕重的地位。他鼎盛時(shí)期的二十五部劇作中融合了如優(yōu)美抒情詩般的戲劇張力和令人著魔的戲劇震懾力，并始終縈繞著揮之不去的孤寂感。評(píng)論家們普遍認(rèn)為他可以稱得上是有史以來最偉大的南方劇作家，也是最杰出的美國(guó)劇作家之一。 威廉斯的詩化戲劇爭(zhēng)議頗多，在這些劇作中，他忠實(shí)展現(xiàn)了躁動(dòng)不安的情感與兩性的力量，精神與肉體的需求，從而構(gòu)建了打動(dòng)全人類的普遍主題。他的戲劇人物尤其是主角幾乎都為被驅(qū)逐者。在這些人物中，女性角色最令人難忘。她們?nèi)缑造F天氣中的燈塔，杰出的凸現(xiàn)于整部劇作，如《玻璃動(dòng)物園》中的阿曼達(dá)和《欲望號(hào)街車》中的布蘭奇。不能適應(yīng)現(xiàn)實(shí)社會(huì)的她們經(jīng)歷了痛苦的幻滅。她們的性別意識(shí)及因此表現(xiàn)出的性征正是其夢(mèng)想幻滅的首要原因。 長(zhǎng)久以來，威廉斯的劇作因其主題和人物心理的復(fù)雜性，意味深遠(yuǎn)的不確定性而吸引了眾多評(píng)論家的注意，從而使采用各種流派的批評(píng)方法從各個(gè)角度解讀其劇作成為了可能。然而，這其中對(duì)其女性觀進(jìn)行全面徹底的性別研究卻較少。雖然個(gè)體的生理性別與文學(xué)藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作關(guān)聯(lián)甚少，社會(huì)性別—作為社會(huì)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)特征的陽性與陰性—在分析作品及作家時(shí)卻是至...
