爱德华·阿尔比是美国戏剧史上著名的戏剧作家,他的戏剧的独特之处就在于把荒诞派的写作手法和美国的现实相结合。贯穿爱德华.阿尔比的《动物园的故事》、《美国梦》和《谁害怕弗吉利亚.沃尔夫?》3部作品的同一主题:曾经作为美国精神支柱的美国梦发展至今已经走向灭亡。美国梦从它的起源到破灭一共经历了3个阶段,即对建立伊甸园梦想的颠覆,对宣传的美国梦的揭露,对美国梦破灭的分析。
Edward Albi is a famous playwright in the history of American drama. His drama is unique in that it combines the absurdist writing techniques with the American reality. The same theme that runs through Edward Albi’s The Story of a Zoo, The American Dream, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe? The American Dream, once the spiritual pillar of the United States, has come to an end. The American dream has gone through three stages from its origins to its destruction: the subversion of the establishment of Eden’s dream, the revelation of the propagated American dream and the analysis of the collapse of the American dream.
