摘要
威廉姆.戈尔丁的作品以揭露人性恶而闻名于世,其代表作《蝇王》更是因文本中的女性缺席而吸引着越来越多的女权主义者的关注,当前文坛仍在为它是否是一部男权主义作品而争执不下。本文一改女性女权主义的视角,重新诠释了小说的结构,并通过比较阅读反映二战对青少年影响的作品确认了作者创作此书的真实意图。结合本质主义等文论方法,本文指出戈尔丁作品中排除女性角色的独特写作方法是作家刻意、合理之举。本研究对引导读者以一种新视角和不偏不倚的态度重新理解小说提供了帮助。
William Golding is celebrated for the revelation in his works of the dark side in human nature. His renowned novel Lord of the Flies is receiving increasing attention from feminists for an absence of female characters, and it now becomes a debated work of androeentrism. However,this paper sets an opposite tone to that feminist perception and reinterprets the construction of the novel. It offers a comparative reading of novels regarding teenage boys under influences of the Second World War, and reconfirms the author＇ s genuine intention of writing this novel. Besides,it initiates objective analysis with a solid foundation upon essentialists＇ theories, scientific researches and literary interpretations, thus it concludes that Golding＇ s unique way of excluding female characters from the novel is purposeful and justifiable. This study significantly evokes the readers＇ unbiased attitude and a new perception in understanding the novel.
