《谁害怕弗吉尼亚·沃尔夫?》(1962)是美国著名剧作家爱德华·阿尔比的代表作。他以荒诞的戏谑和圣经原型的移位演绎了一部现代启示录,表现出现代人企图依赖自欺的幻想来获得救赎的心理状态。本文借助原型批评理论,着重分析此剧中这些圣经原型意象和情节的重构,以期挖掘隐喻背后的深层意蕴。 “Who is afraid of Virginia Wolfe?” (1962) is the representative of the famous American playwright Edward Albi.

With the help of archetypal criticism theory, this thesis focuses on the reconstruction of these biblical archetypes and plots in this drama, in order to explore the deep meaning behind the metaphor.
