《钟形罩》是美国自白派女诗人西尔维娅.普拉斯创作的唯一一部长篇小说。长期以来,众多学者用女性主义的视角来解读主人公埃斯特.格林伍德的形象,认为小说记录了埃斯特从自我疏离到疯癫,直至重建真实自我的心路历程。然而埃斯特是否真正疯癫却没有受到应有的关注。文章将从父权社会的压制和女性榜样的缺失两个层面来分析埃斯特精神崩溃的原因,从而揭示她的疯癫只是父权文化给予的标签,并不是其精神状态的真实反映。这种所谓的“疯癫”是20世纪50年代觉醒的美国女性对性别政治的反抗形式,是一种充满反叛精神的“理性疯癫”。 Bell is the only novel written by the American Confessionate poet Silvia Plass. For a long time, many scholars interpret the image of the hero, Esther Greenwood, from the perspective of feminism. They argue that the novel records Este’s journey from self-escapism to madness and reconstruction of true self. However, whether Este really crazy but did not receive due attention. The article will analyze the reasons for Estel’s mental breakdown from the suppression of patriarchal society and the lack of female role models, revealing that her madness is only a label given by patriarchal culture and not a true reflection of her mental state. This so-called “madness” is a form of revolt against gender politics that is awakening by American women in the 1950s and is a “reckless” intellectual “madness.”
