《我的安东妮亚》讲述的是一群欧洲移民在美国西部内布拉斯加大草原上艰苦创业的故事。从生态批评的视角来看,女主人公安东妮亚的生命历程就是一个不断“自我实现”的过程。这一过程包含两个方面:首先,安东妮亚完成了社会学意义上的自我确立;其次,安东妮亚最终达到深层生态学所提倡的自我实现的境界。 My Antonia tells the story of a group of European immigrants who arduously pioneered the Nebraska prairie in the western United States. From the perspective of ecocriticism, the life process of heroine Antonia is a continuous “self-actualization” process. This process consists of two aspects: first, Antonia completes sociological self-establishment; second, Antonia finally reaches the realm of self-realization advocated by deep ecology.
