浅析海明威的“厌女症”情结

文章认为美国作家海明威的代表作《永别了,武器》一书中女性的形象可以分为两大类:具有强烈支配欲的泼妇和极度顺从的小甜心。女性在海明威的作品中总是"失声"的并被客观化为表现男性需求的标志。女性的存在是为了满足男性在情感和道德上的需要。海明威的"厌女症"情结深受家庭影响的海明威将对母亲的厌恶投射到了作品中的女性身上,他歪曲贬低丑化女性形象,过分渲染女性的危险与不祥,把女性当做死亡与痛苦,而不是当做生命和快乐的象征。

On Hemingway and His Misogyny Complex

This thesis makes an analysis of women figures in Ernest Hemingway’s representative work Farewell to Arms with an attempt to prove his misogyny complex by adopting the approaches of Feminism as well as Freudianism.In Hemingway’s works,women are objectified as symbol of male desires and projected into the man’s needfulness.In Farewell to Arms,such tendency is expressed between the lines.According to the approach commonly identified as psychological and Freudian,Hemingway’s fictions should be interpreted in the context of family quarrels and on the assumption that his mother,Grace,is a destructive person who destroys her husband and the happy home life.And His detesting for his mother can indicate the reason why women keep silent in his fiction.Through the lens of language,Hemingway distorted women figures in his fiction and exaggerated their dangers as hoodoos,and thus women in his fictions are always regarded as the symbol of death and pain rather than life and joy.
