摘要
在美国经典戏剧《推销员之死》中,阿瑟·米勒成功地塑造了一个在理想与现实中挣扎纠结的小人物威利·洛曼。通过运用钱钟书在《围城》中提出的围城效应来审视威利的悲剧,揭示了威利是一个在犹太文化影响下徘徊在美国主流文化围城外的边缘人;威利违背本性企图在商业竞争中赢得一席之地却惨遭落败被排斥在他虚幻的美国梦城堡外围;威利顽固地执着于美国梦的实现忽视了家人的爱陷入孤独绝望的深渊中不可自拔。
In the American classic drama Death of A Salesman, Arthur Miller successfully created a low man Willy Loman strugglingbetween ideal and reality. By using the effect of the Besieged Fortress proposed by Qian Zhongshu in his novel Fortress Besieged toanalyze Willy＇s tragedy, it can be seen that Willy who is influenced by Jewish culture is a marginalized man wandering outside thefortress of America＇s mainstream culture; Willy hopes to win a place of himself in business competition against his nature but getsnothing but failure and is expelled from his illusionary American Dream; Willy is stubbornly obsessed with the realization of AmericanDream ignoring his family＇s love, and thus is deeply sunk into loneliness and depression without any hope to be saved.
