摘要:
作为美国现代戏剧的奠基人，尤金奥尼尔曾在其剧作中塑造过各具特色的女性角色，而妓女在这些角色中更是一个不容忽视的特殊存在，在奥尼尔的作品中显性或隐性地发挥着她们的作用，透露出作者对女性和爱的思考，体现了人性中无法泯灭的爱。本文将以尤金奥尼尔作品中的妓女为重点，通过分析她们所展示出来的不同方式和程度的爱，来解读奥尼尔笔下的妓女形象，分析她们如何在复杂无奈的现实的压制下绽放出爱的光芒。
As the father of modern American drama, Eugene O’Neill had created various female roles with distinctive characteristics, among which prostitutes should be paid special attention. They have showed their functions evidently and sometimes inconspicuously, which reveals O’Neill’s reflec-tion on woman as well as on the everlasting love rooted in human nature. In this thesis, the author focuses on the prostitutes in Eugene O’Neill’s plays, and tries to analyze their images by discussing the different kinds of loves with different degrees shown by them in order to demonstrate how they shine brightly under the suppression of complex and frustrated social condition.
