【摘要】：多莉丝·莱辛是著名的英国女作家,曾获得2007年诺贝尔文学奖,在世界文学史上占据着重要并且独特的地位。自她1950年发表第一部长篇小说《野草在歌唱》起,无数学者和批评家对她个人和作品进行了研究。研究者大多从不同的角度研究莱辛早期的作品,鲜有人对她较新的作品《最甜蜜的梦》进行研究,从创伤理论角度解读该小说的研究更是少之又少。本文以创伤理论为理论依据,试图分析小说《最甜蜜的梦》中三代女性的心理与行为。除了引言和结论,本论文由三部分组成:第一部分分析雷诺士家族里三代女性创伤的缘由,即婆婆朱莉娅的创伤源于残酷的战争,尤其是两次世界大战;媳妇弗朗西斯的创伤源于失败的婚姻;继孙女西尔维娅的创伤则源于童年缺乏父爱、被母亲辱骂和忽视等家庭因素。第二部分重点分析创伤在这三代女性身上的不同表现。第三部分阐述这三位女性在克服创伤过程中所做的努力。通过对比分析《最甜蜜的梦》中三个女性角色的创伤愈合过程,本论文发现婆婆朱莉娅和媳妇弗朗西斯均走出创伤回归正常生活,而继孙女西尔维娅却没能如愿恢复。由此,本论文得出以下结论:比起成年人的创伤,儿童时期引起的创伤对人的伤害更大,更难愈合。同时,莱辛笔下雷诺士三代女性的创伤-复原之路揭示了莱辛对女性现状的担忧与反思,以期引起世人对女性创伤的关注。
[Abstract]:Doris Lessing, a famous British female writer, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007 and occupies an important and unique position in the history of world literature. Since her first novel, Wild Grass singing, published in 1950, numerous scholars and critics have studied her personal and works. Most of the researchers study Lessing's early works from different angles, few of them study her new novel "the sweetest Dream", and the study of interpreting the novel from the perspective of trauma theory is even less. Based on the theory of trauma, this paper attempts to analyze the psychology and behavior of the three generations of women in the novel the sweetest Dream. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, this thesis consists of three parts: the first part analyzes the causes of the female trauma of three generations in the Reynolds family, that is, the trauma of mother-in-law Julia originated from the cruel war, especially the two world wars; Wife Francis's trauma stems from a failed marriage, while stepdaughter Sylvia's trauma stems from family factors such as a lack of paternity in childhood, abuse and neglect by his mother. The second part focuses on the different manifestations of trauma in these three generations of women. The third part describes the three women's efforts to overcome the trauma. By comparing and analyzing the wound healing process of the three female characters in "the sweetest Dream", this paper finds that both mother-in-law Julia and wife Francis are out of the trauma and return to normal life, while stepdaughter Sylvia fails to recover. Therefore, this paper draws the following conclusion: trauma caused by childhood is more harmful and difficult to heal than that of adults. At the same time, Lessing's Trauma-recovery Road in Reynolds' three generations reveals Lessing's concern and reflection on the current situation of women, in order to arouse the world's attention to female trauma.
