布萊恩·默里曼是一位十八世紀(jì)著名的愛爾蘭語詩人。他的長詩《午夜法庭》被廣泛贊譽(yù)為愛爾蘭文學(xué)史上最偉大的喜劇詩歌之一。該詩寫于1780年,正當(dāng)愛爾蘭處于大不列顛帝國的殖民統(tǒng)治之下,其時(shí)也正是歐洲啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)高漲之際。追求平等、獨(dú)立與解放的思想燃燒著整個(gè)歐洲人民的心靈,尤其是像愛爾蘭這樣備受壓迫的民族。到了18世紀(jì)末期,愛爾蘭國家內(nèi)部要求平等與解放的呼聲越來越高。本詩采用夢境的形式,設(shè)計(jì)了一場午夜法庭,以此探討18世紀(jì)后期愛爾蘭婦女對平等與解放的渴求與期盼,同時(shí)揭示了當(dāng)代婦女所遭受的壓迫、歧視與剝削。默里曼以其獨(dú)特的民族、時(shí)代與身世背景,在詩中表現(xiàn)出當(dāng)代男性作家少有的女性意識(shí)。本文將運(yùn)用女權(quán)主義文學(xué)批評理論來探索默里曼在《午夜法庭》中表現(xiàn)出來的女性意識(shí)。女權(quán)主義文學(xué)批評是一種以作品中的女性為中心的批評方法,主要研究女性形象、女性閱讀和女性創(chuàng)作等,它要求從女性視角對文學(xué)作品進(jìn)行重新解讀,對男性文學(xué)歪曲女性形象進(jìn)行批判,或?qū)ψ髌分械呐砸庾R(shí)進(jìn)行探討。通過分析《午夜法庭》,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)默里曼在本詩中體現(xiàn)出男性作家少有的女性意識(shí)。在十八世紀(jì)以男性為中心的父權(quán)社會(huì),婦女由于被稱為原罪的始作俑者及其經(jīng)濟(jì)的依附...
