美国戏剧家阿尔比的《谁害怕弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙?》讲述的是一部人生悲剧,但故事的结局主人公却重新获得生活的希望。基于约翰·赫伊津哈(Johan Huizinga)的游戏理论,可以发现结局的转变和贯穿全剧的“游戏”活动有着必然的联系。该剧从戏谑性的剧名和神秘性的章节名,到推动情节发展的四个游戏,再到人物对话中夸张诙谐的文字游戏,这些无处不在的游戏精神以其戏谑的姿态讽刺和抵抗理性和功利的现代文明,使人物和读者在精神层面得到某种宣泄和释放,获得某种自由,从而战胜人生的悲剧性。 American dramatist Albi “Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf?” Tells a tragedy of life, but the outcome of the story the protagonist has regained the hope of life. Based on Johan Huizinga’s theory of games, one can see the inevitable link between the ending and the “game” activity that runs through the show. The play from playful titles and mysterious chapter names, to promote the plot of the four games, to the dialogue in the character of exaggerated witty word games, these ubiquitous game spirit with its banter attitude satire and resistance to reason And utilitarian modern civilization, so that characters and readers get some kind of relief and release on the spiritual level, and get some freedom to overcome the tragedy of life.
