摘要
奇卡纳文学作为美国多元文化中的一个重要组成部分,呈现出高度的异质性。其杰出代表墨西哥裔女作家安娜·卡斯蒂罗的《如剥洋葱般剥开我的爱》向读者展现了一位墨西哥裔女性的充满热情而又无奈、痛苦的情感及个人奋斗经历,折射出墨西哥裔女性努力尝试并成功地塑造着能代表自身文化的形象和对"身份认同"进行不屈不挠的抗争。本文尝试用神话原型理论,从人物和主题方面分析这一作品中土著神话原型形象——"玛林琦"的嬗变,解读作者通过这个原型的运用所要表达的深层含义。
Being the essential component of American multiculture, Chicana Literature boasts the distinctive inhomogeneity. Peel My Love like an Onion by Ana Castillo who is regarded as one of the outstanding Chicana writers, depicts a Mexican-American female’s life experience filled with turns and twists. The epic of struggle reflects the unremitting efforts Mexican-American females have been making to look for the self-identification and the cultural-recognition. The Myth-archetype analysis is applied to interprete the transmutation of Malinche, the evil –female image in Hispanic history and legend, to explore the deep meaning of the novel.
