美国剧作家苏珊·格拉斯佩尔是普利策奖得主,美国现代戏剧的奠基人之一。《边缘》被认为是她最复杂的戏剧,一部充满矛盾和困惑的女权主义作品。本文通过分析女主角克莱尔创新性培育的三种鲜花,指出这些鲜花分别象征着传统女性、当代新女性,以及逃离女性的社会樊篱的未来女性。鲜花折射出作者格拉斯佩尔矛盾的女权主义观,即她一方面提倡比新女性更激进的女权主义,另一方面又在警示极端女权主义可能存在的风险。 American playwright Susan Glaspell is Pulitzer Prize winner, one of the founders of American modern drama. Edge is considered her most complicated drama, a feminist piece full of contradictions and confusion. This article analyzes three innovative flowers fostered by actress Claire, pointing out that these flowers symbolize the future women of traditional women, contemporary new women, and social strafing women. Flowers reflect the contradictory views of Grasper’s feminism, that is, she advocates more radical feminism than new women on the one hand, and on the other, it alerts the potential risks of extreme feminism.
