摘要
鲍西娅曾被认为是莎剧中最能反映文艺复兴时代女性解放的代表人物。然而 ,她在很多方面———不论是作为富有的女继承人、多情的恋人、睿智的律师还是忠实的妻子———都受到当时男性话语的压迫。作为女性 ,她并没有意识到这种压迫 ,而是满足于这种从属的地位。她对男性话语的颠覆是当时社会的权力场所能允许的 ,而且也是受到抑制的。
Portia, a bright figure in The Merchant of Venice, was considered a symbol of uprising woman in Shakespeare's plays in which she represents a new type of woman in the Renaissance period. However, she is suppressed by the prevalent male-dominated discourse in many respects at that time: as a rich daughter, a devoted lover, a faithful wife and a renowned lawyer. To top it off, she is not aware of this suppression, and is unconsciously content with the subordinate position, showing no disagreement with it. Therefore, her subversion of the prevalent discourse is in fact quite limited and weak and beneath the permission of the mainstream authority.
