摘要: 女性哥特作品自其诞生以来,一直书写给女性个体带来焦虑和恐惧的“幽灵”。这种焦虑与恐惧来源于女性独特的生理体验、角色设置、女性特质和女性空间的束缚,女性因自身性别身份而不安。门罗的短篇小说集《逃离》中也含有女性哥特元素。本文梳理了女性哥特主义的发展,分析了哥特范式中的女性被囚禁、被惩罚、母女关系、性等几个重要要素在门罗小说中的具体表现。研究表明,门罗的小说采取了更隐秘的女性哥特表达,每一篇作品中都有一个黑暗的秘密直指人心,哥特元素增加了作品的张力,恰当地传达了女性的角色体验,作品表达了作者对女性的关怀。

Abstract:

Female Gothic works,since the day of its birth,has been concentrating on the haunting agency that constantly makes females anxious and disturbed.These troubled feelings might come from females’ unique biological experience,their expected role decided by the society,femininity and a constraint on their development space.Females feel uneasy about their own sexual identity.Munro’s works—— Runaway incorporates the female Gothic elements.The essay reviews the development of female Gothic,and analyzes the application of several Gothic elements in the works,including imprisonment,punishment,mother-daughter relationship and sex.The research shows that Munro’s works adopt a more subtle female Gothic expression.There is a dark secret in each piece of works.The use of Gothic elements gives tension to the work and expresses the unique female experience.The works conveys the writer’s sympathy for females.
