澳大利亚文学家劳森在小说《赶牲畜人的妻子》中塑造了一位吃苦耐劳,坚忍不拔,富有自我牺牲精神的丛林母亲形象。但是作者在无意中暴露出自身女性观的狭隘和不足。从现代的女性主义观点来看,这正是男性中心主义叙述视角的一种自我表达,体现着男性中心主义思想的一厢情愿,否定女性自身的特点将男性的审美理想强加于女性身上,从而满足了父权文化机制对女性期待和幻想。 Australian writer Lawson shaped the image of a jungle mother who is hardworking, perseverant and self-sacrificing in his novel The Wife Who Drives the Livestock. However, the author inadvertently exposed their own narrow and inadequate view of women. From a modern feminist point of view, this is exactly a self-expression of male-centered narrative perspective, which embodies the wishful thinking of male-centered ideology. It denies that women’s own characteristics impose men’s aesthetic ideals on women, thus satisfying Patriarchy Cultural Mechanism to Female Expectations and Fantasy.
