著名女性理论家西蒙娜·德·波伏瓦在《第二性》中首次提出“他者”概念,女性作为“他者”一直处在客体和次要的地位。男性成为定义和区分女性的参照物,因而男性根据自身的价值取向,将女性划分为两大类——天使和妖妇。本文通过对美国剧作家田纳西·威廉斯的两部主要作品中的女主人公——阿尔玛和布兰奇的分析,揭示女性形象被异化是父权制社会下,男性操纵话语权的重要表现。 The famous female theorist Simone de Beauvoir first proposed the concept of “others” in “second sex”, and women as the “others” have always been in the status of object and subordinate. Men become the reference to define and distinguish women, so men according to their own value orientation, the women are divided into two categories - the angel and the demon woman.
