结合时代背景及心理学知识对美国剧作家田纳西·威廉姆斯的成名作《玻璃动物园》中四位人物的自我寻求历程进行了分析。面对梦想与现实的落差,剧中人物生活得孤独而失落。然而,他们并没有因此而沉沦,他们或是主动地、或是下意识地在生活的漩涡中挣扎着寻求着自我。这种寻求也许永远不可能成功,但是人性的纯真与美在这一过程中展现无疑。 Combining with the background of the times and the psychology knowledge, this thesis analyzes the self-seeking course of the four characters in the famous “Glass Zoo” by American playwright Tennessee Williams. In the face of the gap between dreams and reality, the characters in the play are lonely and lose their lives. However, they did not sink as a result. They actively and subconsciously struggled to find themselves in the whirlpool of life. Such seeking may or may never succeed, but the pureness and beauty of humanity are undoubtedly demonstrated in the process.
