“十九号房间”作为英国女作家多丽丝·莱辛的代表性短篇小说,讲述了女主角苏珊以幸福婚姻的建立为开端和自杀身亡而结束的家庭悲剧故事。莱辛本人的女性身份使其作品呈现女性的审美视角,虽然莱辛本人否认,但她多被称为女性主义者,因此对“十九号房间”的批评多从女性主义的角度提出对父权制社会造成女性悲剧的控诉。本文认为苏珊的家庭悲剧有更复杂的原因,其中苏珊的自我否定,对家庭责任的逃避,夫妻间的交流障碍,人与人之间真正的沟通缺失与人情的冷漠才是造成苏珊死亡的直接原因和根本原因。本文通过对小说进行文本细读,分析人物之间以及人物内心的矛盾,揭示小说发展的内在张力,阐释小说中造成男女主人公失败者形象的根源。 As a representative short story by Doris Lessing, a British woman writer, “The 19th Room” tells the story of the tragedy of a woman whose hero Susan began with the establishment of a happy marriage and committed suicide.
