《可以吃的女人》是加拿大女性作家玛格丽特·阿特伍德的早期作品,描述了19世纪处于消费主义意识和男性霸权意识形态影响下的女性——玛丽安对自我身份的追求历程。本文借助异化理论对小说中女主人公的身份异化现象进行探讨,致力于挖掘其背后的深层原因,进而审视作者阿特伍德对女性身份话题所做的深切思考。 The Edible Woman, an early work by Canadian women writer Margaret Attwood, describes Marian’s search for self-identity as a 19th-century woman under the influence of consumerism and masculine hegemony. This thesis explores the alienation of the heroine’s identity in the novels by using the alienation theory, digs out the underlying reasons behind it, and then examines author Atwood’s deep thinking on women’s identity topics.
