索尔·贝娄的《洪堡的礼物》特别关注男性知识分子在社会中的职责及其命运,而他笔下的女性人物则往往处于边缘地位。贝娄在《洪》中所展现的男女权力冲突,与新历史主义的权力观不谋而合。本文旨在探讨男女权力冲突中女性对男权统治的颠覆,并阐释她们最终被男权所抑制的成因。 Saul Bellow’s “Humboldt’s Gift” pays special attention to the role and destiny of male intellectuals in society, while the female characters in his works are often marginalized. Bellow’s “power” conflict between men and women shows a coincidence with New Historicism’s view of power. The purpose of this article is to explore the subversion of patriarchal domination by women in the conflict of power between men and women and to explain why they were ultimately suppressed by patriarchal power.
