美国戏剧家田纳西·威廉斯在创作中所借用的宗教神话故事演绎现代精神和文化批判,是根植于南方文化与以加尔文主义为核心的新教的。他描写的“回忆剧”和塑造的具有神话和宗教情怀的艺术形象,曲折地反映了一些社会边缘人物的悲剧命运。宗教神话的表现手法扩大了威廉斯戏剧的表现力和艺术韵味。 American drama singer Tennessee Williams borrowed religious myths in the creation of modern interpretation of the spirit and cultural criticism is rooted in southern culture and Calvinism as the core Protestant. His “Memories of Drama” and the artistic image with myths and religious sentiments depicted in this book flexibly reflect the tragic fate of some marginalized people in society. The performance of religious mythology expands the expression and artistic appeal of Williams drama.
