围城外的边缘人:《推销员之死》中威利·洛曼的悲剧解析

大理大学学报JOURNAL OF DALI UNIVERSITY 第1卷第11期2016年11月Vol.1No.11Nov.2016[DOI]10.3969/j.issn.2096-2266.2016.11.007《推销员之死》是犹太裔美国著名剧作家阿瑟·米勒的经典之作,一举囊括了托尼奖、普利策奖和纽约剧评界奖,该剧讲述了美国社会一名普通的推销员威利·洛曼在执著追求美国梦道路上陨落的故事,为观众展现了一个在理想与现实中挣扎纠结的小人物形象。
《推销员之死》的故事情节并不复杂,却为读者们提供了多层次多角度的阐释空间,不同文化背景、生活经历的人都能从中找到共鸣,拥有自己独特的理解。
但概括地说,评论家们大多把《推销员之死》的悲剧归因于威利·洛曼狭隘偏激的美国梦,“‘金钱至上’的美国梦是美国社会判断人的价值的唯一取向,这种不正常的价值观导致了威利的精神崩溃和自杀”〔1〕,并探讨在这种扭曲的人生价值观影响下普通人在事业、婚姻、家庭各个方面所遭受的挫败。
围城效应是钱钟书在其著名小说《围城》中所提出的一种探讨人生和文学的新理念。
“围在城里的想逃出来,城外的人想冲进去。
对婚姻也罢,职业也罢,人生的愿望大都如此”〔2〕。
围城是无法安于现状的人不自觉地束缚在自己身上的一副枷锁,总是无法满足的欲望禁锢了他们的身心自由,诱惑着人们走向自己想象的幻境进而走向绝望的深渊。
在围城视角下的《推销员之死》呈现出一种全然不同的理解氛围,威利·洛曼身上带有的阿瑟·米勒潜意识映射出的犹太文化欲融入美国主流文化未果;威利·洛曼妄想运用“好人缘”在物欲横流唯利是图的金钱社会中获得成功却惨遭失败;威利·洛曼内心极度渴望儿子的崇拜认可却在谎言和欺骗的阴影下与儿子的关系降到冰点。
欲求不得的围城心态折磨着威利·洛曼,无法解脱的他最终怀揣着带有诈骗性质的梦想放弃了自己的生命,然而他的死亡却成了他出售的最后一件毫无价值的商品,在寥寥无几的哀悼者见证下走完了自己悲惨的一生。

[中图分类号]:J8 [文献标识码]:A[文章编号]:1002-2139(2017)-21--01《推销员之死》是美国剧作家阿瑟·米勒的杰作,威利·洛曼是这部作品中的中心人物。
对于他的一生,有的人认为他可悲,有的人认为他可怜。
他是一个悲剧人物,他是美国人民中普通的一员,他的人生际遇,价值观的冲突、期望和现实的冲突、付出和收获的冲突就是美国民众的缩影。
美国当代批评家杰克·克罗尔曾说:“《推销员之死》把我们的某些最有深远影响、最致命的矛盾冲突以隆重的方式公布在大众面前。
它是一出关于美国社会中被扭曲了的人们的遭遇的戏剧……米勒这部作品的强大威力把观众的诚实心态升华到了一个新的高度,他们了解那个以虚幻的梦想欺骗自己而且至死不愿醒悟的威利·洛曼。
”一、价值观的冲突他有一句口头禅,“只要别人喜欢你,就什么都有了。
”他总是认为,一个人能否成功关键是看他人是否喜欢你,也就是人好缘不好。
“他希望别人真心喜欢他,希望得到别人的爱戴,希望成为一个了不起的人,希望能实现自己的幻想,一辈子没有白过……”然而,一名推销员对社会的意义是什么?他没有技术,不会安装机械;他没有知识,不能用法律手段帮助别人,不能帮人看病开药方。

The protagonist is a salesman named Willy Loman but all kinds of conflicts led to his final death. This thesis makes a thorough research on the inevitability of Willy Loman’s tragedy in Death of a Salesman on the basis of Hegel's theory of tragedy. The thesis mainly includes two parts: one is the analysis of the social environment, the other is the analysis of conflicts in this work, through which we can get the conclusion that Willy’s tragedy is inevitable. This thesis also makes a research about the writer’s attitude towards the social reality at that time and the universality of Willy’s tragedy.Key Words: Death of a salesman, tragedy, inevitability, conflicts, social realityContents1.

Death of a Salesman is generally acknowledged as his most remarkable masterpiece, which makes him well known around the world. It was the recipient of the 1949 and . The play premiered on in February 1949, which caused a tremendous sensation. Such a play full of melancholy and tragedy actually stirred the whole literary world and still occupied an important position in American literary.Death of a salesman tells a story of a four-number family, in which each of them is busy all day to satisfy their inner desire. Willy Loman, the protagonist of the play, is an ordinary salesman. He is 60 years old and very unstable, tending to imagine events from the past as if they are real. There is an irreconcilable conflict between Willy’s dream and the reality. Linda Loman is Willy's wife. She always smiles and nods when Willy talks unrealistically about hopes for the future. They have two sons, Biff and Happy, who also have their respective problems in their life. The conflicts still exist between Willy and other characters. Willy’s family was under great depress, and Willy got some metal illness. Their life is not so smooth and everyone in this family is weighted down by life.As Hegel argued that the tragedy is caused by conflicts. All the conflicts are divided into two groups. Firstly, some conflicts are caused by objective factors. Then the rest of conflicts are caused by psychological status, which are the most ideal conflicts in Hegel’s opinion. All conflicts would lead to two results, die or peace1 Atkinson,the famous critic of the New York Times, ever said, “Death of a salesman is a great work filled with humanistic concern. That is because Mr. Miller sympathetically had a insight into the inner world of ordinary Americans and quietly presented the pain into the stage.” In China, many scholars speak highly of this great play. Ying Ruocheng, a famous translator and performing artist in China, views Death of a salesman as one of the greatest play in America. But few scholars pay close attention to the inevitability of Willy’s tragedy. The study of the inevitability of Willy’s tragedy has its practical significance and academic value. The research on the inevitability of the tragedy is to have a deep understanding of the American society in the 1940s and explore the practical significance.2. The social background of Death of a salesmanThe social background is the cornerstone of the play. The study of social background is great of importance to the literature and literary study. This play was written in 1949. In that period, America achieved greatly success in economy. Most1of the people had blind optimism, so it was high time that artists sounded the alarm for people. Social background and the function of the social reality to Willy’s tragedy will be introduced in this part.The social factors in the 1940sThe play, Death of a salesman, which caused a great sensation, premiered on in February 1949 after the Second World War. American economy in that period had a rapid development. When America entered a glowing period after the Second World War, it had a market eight times larger than any competitor, giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale. Its scientists were the best; its workers the most skilled. All Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams. But it didn’t mean everything went well. At least, life is not so easy for ordinary people.Some serious social problems still existed. To begin with, although the American economy had a rapid development, it was in shadow of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Some social problems under the capitalist market economy, such as inflation, unemployment, still perplexed the ordinary Americans. In the next place, the cruel disordered competition of capitalist market economy caused a value which viewed the profits and wealth as the most important things. Some old people are eliminated by the society. Furthermore, most of Americans at that time were addicted in the pursuit of wealth and ignored other happiness, such as the family, friendship and so on. The value destroyed the nature of kindness and the harmony of society.The story of Death of a salesman happened in this settings. Willy Loman is an ordinary salesman. In general view, he was a man full of happiness. He had a beautiful wife and two sons, a house in downtown, a car and a steady work. But he didn’t feel satisfied until his death. In his mind, wealth and fame is the only thing which he pursues. He failed, so he wanted his sons to make his dream come true. At last, nothing went well. Misery over misery, he was fired by his boss although he had been working for the company for 34 years, so he ended his life at last. Therefore it’s not only a tragedy of Willy Loman, but also a tragedy of the American society.The influence of social background on the tragic plotThe social background has an influence on the development of plot in this play. Plot is the series of events which form the story of a novel, a play or a film. The plot and the reality have a close relationship. The development of the plot is not beyond the reality, that is to say, the plot should obey some rules which come from social reality in literature. The plot of Death of a salesman is deeply rooted in the society.Firstly, Willy Loman chose salesman as his ideal job when he was young. The choice is deeply influenced by the social background. In the 1910s, salesman is anideal and steady job. When Willy was young, he met an old salesman who could make money at the age of 84. From then on, Willy chose salesman as his lifelong job. His choice is obviously influenced by the social reality. The choice in the 1910s is the start of development of the plot.Secondly, salesman was on longer an ideal and steady job with the development of the society. The World War in the 1930s created much economic bubble in America. The impact of greatest economic crisis in 1939 on American economy existed. All these curbed consumption to some extent, which made salesman was not so steady in the 1940s. The change of social background deeply influenced on the development of the plot. Willy’s life should be better and better, but things don’t turn out the way he wants, his career was at a mess. At the same time, the relationship between Willy and his family turned complicated. Willy sticks to his original dream, but his son Biff wants to be a farmer to get away from the pressure from the society. The conflict between Willy and Biff become acute. The social background pushes Willy to the cliff step by step.Thirdly, the society is full of the law of jungle. Almost everyone pursues their success by hook or by crook and . This is the by-product of the high-speed development of economy. The social background impulses the development of the plot again. Willy was fired by his boss. In eyes of the boss, Willy was too old to create surplus value. Capitalists batten on the surplus value created by workers. It is inevitable for Willy to be fired by his boss. The change directly pushes the plot to a new high.Obviously, the plot is rooted in the social background. The function of the social background to the development of plot is great of importance.The influence of social background on the tragic characterThe tragic character in the play is also influenced by social background. Society is constituted by people, on the other hand, society also influences on individuals. Willy Loman is the one who is influenced by social reality.Firstly, the influence of social background on the tragic character reflects on the impact of the American Dream on Willy. The America dream is a belief which is rooted in the whole American society. Willy always sticks to his American dream, he don’t want to yield to the social reality. T he American dream has a great influence on Willy. On one hand, Willy is crazy for his dream, which makes him blind and paranoid. On the other hand, his fanaticism about his dream is unrealistic, which makes him frustrated. The two points cause his personality weakness, which is related to his tragedy.Secondly, the mainstream values also influence on Willy’s tragedy. Values are beliefs about what is right and wrong and what is important in life. Values originate in society and are rooted in social reality. In the 1940s, the cruel disordered competition of capitalist market economy caused a value which viewed the profits and wealth as the most important things. Willy is deeply influenced by the value. He was always crazy for fame and wealth. His craze was blind, which made him ignore the essence of life. This point directly causes the conflict between Willy and his family, which lead to his tragedy.It is obvious that the social background has a great impact on Willy and his tragedy.The influence of social background on the inevitability of Willy Loman’s tragedyFrom the analysis, we learn that social background has an impact on the plot and the tragic character. The plot and personality weaknesses are two factors in Willy’s tragedy. The two factors are both rooted in social background. In Hegel’s theory of tragedy, there is a kind of conflict which is caused by objective factors. Social background is sorted into objective factors, and is independent from individual’s will. Society is the accelerator of the tragedy. Specifically, the high-speed development of economy in that period made Willy crazy for wealth and fame. And the reality is so cruel. When Willy got old, he was fired by his boss. That directly caused his death. According to the analysis, we can safely get the conclusion that the inevitability of Willy’s tragedy is influenced by the social background.All in all, it is necessary to have a research on the social background. Social reality is not only the cornerstone of this work but also the environment of the story. Society’s function in this play is great and can’t be ignored.3. The conflicts in Willy Loman’s lifeIn Hegel’s idea, the basic factors which caused Willy’s tragedy are conflicts. Conflict is a situation in which people, groups or countries are involved in a serious disagreement or argument. This part will be divided into three parts to study the importance of conflicts in Willy’s life.The conflict between Willy’s American Dream and the realityThe America dream is a belief which is rooted in the whole American society. The American dream, originating from the colonization time, not only inspirits people to be successful but also is the spine of the American literature. The American Dream is a national of the , a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward achieved through hard work.2this play, the protagonist, Willy Loman, also had his own American dream. He wanted to be successful, and he also imposed his dream onto his sons. But he failed at last.The society is full of the law of the jungle. Not everyone is the winner, loser is everywhere as well. Willy Loman was a man who was eliminated by the increasingly fierce social competition. On the other hand, Willy's neighbor,Charley, and his elder brother, Ben who became a diamond tycoon after a detour to Africa were successful. Willy is jealous of them. The comparison between Willy and the other two successful men also made Willy frustrated.In Willy’s mind, he should be the same successful as them, but the reality played a joke to him. In fact, his life is not so well. His two sons had conflicts with him, and they also didn’t achieve success. His salary was not high enough for him to repay the loan. He also had metal illness. All in all, there is a big psychological gap between his American dream and the reality.First of all, there is a big contrast between the job in his mind as a salesman and the job in reality. When he was young, he thought that a salesman was the best job because he met a successful salesman who could make money when he was 84 years old. From then on, he chose to become a salesman. But things went athwart. The job was full of difficulties. He didn’t make enough money when he was old. The worst thing was that he was fired by his boss. Everything was changing: profit was the highest standards to measure the value of a man. All those made him painful in his later life.Moreover, there is a conflict between his dream about his sons and cruel reality. He thought his son, Biff who was a football star with lots of potential in high school would have a rosy future, but Biff failed. He failed in the exam and lost the chance to become a football star. On the other hand, Bernard, Charley's son became a very successful lawyer. In Willy's flashbacks, he was a nerd. Willy was not reconciled to his failure. He still thought Biff had the potential to achieve success, but he wanted to become a farmer and failed over and over again. This is another gap between his dream and the reality. But Willy always had the confidence on Biff who was his last hope. Things don't turn out the way he wants, so Biff failed at last.Once more, he always boasted to his wife that he did well in his job, but in fact, he didn’t sell anything. He always said that he had a good relationship with his clients, but in fact, he did not have good relationships with his clients. This also made him painful in his life. It is also a conflict between his dream and the reality.Lastly, there is a conflict between the failure of Willy and the success of Ben and Charley. He couldn’t accept the fact that he failed while others achieved success2because he was a perfect man in his mind. He thought himself as a good husband, good father, good friend and good salesman, while in fact he didn’t do well as a father, husband, friend and a salesman.The conflict between his American dream and the cruel reality caused his metal illness. He was always addicted in the memory. Maybe it is a way for him to escape from the cruel reality.All in all, there is a big conflict between his American dream and the reality. According to Hegel's theory of tragedy, the conflict between his American dream and the reality belongs to the category which is caused by the psychological status. Meanwhile the conflict is unavoidable. There is an irreconcilable conflict between Willy’s American dream and the reality, so it determines the inevitability of his tragedy.The conflict between Willy and his sonsWilly had two sons, Biff Loman and Happy Loman. There were irreconcilable differences between Willy and his two sons. The conflict between them was very obvious.In the first instance, there is a conflict between Willy and Biff. Biff was a football star with lots of potential in high school, but he failed when he grew up. He went between going home to try to fulfill Willy's dream for him to be a businessman and ignoring his father and going out West to be a farmhand where he could find himself. Nevertheless Willy hoped that Biff came back to the city and work hard to achieve success.Biff liked being outdoors and working with his hands, while Willy wanted him to do something worthwhile which could make him proud. Willy had always been proud of him when Biff was a football player. Over time, they had different views, so they had a strained relationship between them. There are some factors which cause the strained relationship between them.Firstly, they have a different view of the world. Overall Biff remains a realist, and he ever informed Willy that he was just a normal guy, and would not be a great man. On the other hand, Willy is a man who never gives up and a man full of great ambitions. Then Biff had a prejudice on his father. When he was a little boy, his father was a hero with countless friends. Willy’s words were truth in little Biff’s mind. As he grew up, he found that his father was not such a hero and an ordinary man who always . He thought that all families were telling lies. Biff ever said to Willy, “The man doesn’t know who we are! The man is going to know! We never told the truth for ten minutes in this house!” Once more, he attributed his failure to Willy. He said to Willy, “And I never got anywhere because you blew me so full of hot air I could neverstand taking orders from anybody! Whose fault it is! ”Lastly, because of his father Biff failed math in his senior year. Meanwhile Biff dropped out of summer school due to finding Willy with another woman while visiting him in Boston. Such things made him upset. From then on, they had a strained relationship. They always quarreled with each other, and Biff knew that Willy wanted to kill himself.The conflict between Willy and Biff is enormous and unavoidable. Neither of them would compromise to each other.In the next place, there is a conflict between Willy and Happy. Happy Loman was Willy's younger son. He lived in the shadow of his older brother Biff most of his life. He always was ignored by his father, but he still tried to be supportive towards his family. He had a very restless lifestyle as a womanizer. He dreamed of moving beyond his current job as an assistant to the assistant buyer at the local store, but he didn’t make it.He was always looking for approval from his parents, but rarely gets any, and he even went as far as to make things up just for attention, such as telling his parents he is going to get married. In fact, he didn’t get enough attention from his father, because Happy wasn’t Willy’s hope, he never achieved success which made Willy proud. So he always lived in the shadow of Biff. The conflict between Happy and Will is also obvious.Generally speaking, the conflict among them was inevitable. Firstly, neither of the two subjects of the conflict would compromise. Then, the conflict is the inevitable production of Willy’s education method. The last, the conflict between two generations was common in America in 1940s. This conflict also attributes to Willy’s tragedy.The conflict between Willy and other charactersIn the play, Willy also had a close relationship to other characters. These characters include his wife, his neighbor, his uncle and his boss. There also exist irreconcilable conflicts between Willy and them.Firstly, the conflict between Willy and his wife, Linda, plays an important role in Willy’s tragedy. Linda Loman is Willy's wife. She always smiled and nodded when Willy talked unrealistically about hopes for the future, although she seemed to have a good knowledge of what was really going on. She was the first to realize Willy was contemplating suicide at the beginning of the play, and urged her two sons to make something for Willy. She didn’t prevent Willy herself, because she loved him too much to expose his secret. Linda’s love to Willy and Willy’s vanity was a pair of conflict, which accelerated Willy’s death.There is a conflict between Willy and the Charley’s. Charley is Willy'sneighborhood. He pitied Willy and frequently lent him money and came over to play cards with Willy, although Willy often treated him poorly. Bernard is Charley's son. In Willy's flashbacks, he was a nerd, who turned to be a very successful lawyer, married, and rich.The conflict is obvious. Willy was jealous of Charley because his son was more successful than Willy's. Meanwhile Charley’s success also made him jealous. Consequently Willy was hostile to them. Charley offered Willy a job many times during visiting to his office, yet Willy declined every time, even after he lost his job as a salesman. He didn’t want to yield to him. Furthermore, he was confused about Charley’s success.Uncle Ben also played an important role on Willy’s death. Uncle Ben is Willy's older brother who became successful after a detour to Africa. He had been dead but Willy frequently spoke to him in his hallucinations of the past. He went into the jungle when he was 17 and returned at 21 very rich. He was Willy's role model, although he was much older and had no real relationship with Willy. He represented Willy's idea of the . In Willy’s mind, Uncle Ben is a real successful man.There is a conflict between Willy and Howard Wagner. Howard is Willy's boss. He was named by Willy, and yet he saw Willy as a liability for the company and let him go, ignoring all the contribution that Willy has devoted to the company. Howard is the representative of the upper class in America, who views profit as only chase. In their eyes, there was nothing except money. He fired Willy, which made Willy lose all his hope directly and lead him to solve all the problems by suicide.All these conflicts come together to accelerate Willy’s death.4. The inevitability of Willy Loman’s tragedyThe death of Willy Loman is a tragedy of an age which is inevitable and common. Meanwhile the tragedy of Willy is also one of the great tragedies in English literature. Different from Shakespeare's tragedy, Death of a Salesman concentrates on the influence of the society and personality. The whole play is full of conflicts, which caused Willy’s death. All these factors come together to contribute to Willy’s death.All the conflicts are divided into two parts, one is caused by social environment and the other is caused by some factors which are deep down in his heart.The first group of conflicts which come from social environment is inevitable. There was a big irreconcilable gap between different classes. The upper class controlled most of the wealth in America, while the lower class still worked hard to get rid of poverty. The whole social is full of greedy egotism and vanity. As ordinary salesman, Willy has to accept the mainstream thoughts and work hard for it. That isto say, the first group of conflicts is inevitable. And the death of Willy is the tragedy of the age in 1940s.The second group of conflicts which come from Willy’s inner world is also inevitable. Specifically, Willy is a man with a lot of ambitions. As a salesman, he always made great efforts to achieve his so called success, but in vain. He was 60 years old and had some metal illness, tending to imagine events from the past as if they were real. Maybe the contrast was too obvious for him. He vacillated between different perceptions of his life.All in all, all kinds of conflicts in Willy’s life are inevitable. Willy is only a representative of such people. In Arthur Miller’s mind, he just wants to express that the society is full of the cruel disordered competition of capitalist market economy. This kind of competition caused a value which viewed profits and wealth as the most important things. Consequently, these conflicts in Willy’s life are universal and inevitable. And his tragedy is caused by these conflicts. These conflicts are not only the part of Willy’s life but also a part of the society in 1940s.Now we can safely get the conclusion that Willy’s tragedy is inevitable. That isn’t the final aim for which Arthur Miller to write this play, it has a deeper implication.Plays are s of society. Through all kinds plays we can peek at every aspects of reality. Art derives from life but it is beyond life. Meanwhile, the implication of art is the reflection of life and an instrument to guide life. Death of a salesman is a great work which makes readers deeply thinking.American dramatist Arthur Miller exposed the cruelty of disorderly competition under the capitalist market economic system in America through the play. In this play people establish a value of money as successful criterion which makes people cold-blood. It destroys the good and honest nature of human being to some extent. Meanwhile Miller expresses an idea that the weak are the prey of the strong in Death of a salesman. Consequently, the inevitability of Willy Loman’s tragedy has its representativeness. In America there is thousands of Willy working hard for a vain future. Miller wants to arouse the public attention through the play.There is some practical significance of the play. The practical significance is not only for America but also for China. The first, the government should pay a great attention to the education about shaping good values. Profit should not be the only social standard. Then, we should have a rational knowledge to success. Success is not all-powerful. Success is different from happiness. It’s not rational to be crazy for success ignoring other factors in life. In the next place, governments should create the Medicare insurance program for the elderly. Maybe it is one of the measures to reduce the tragedy of Willy Loman. The last, a great attention should be paid to thefamily education. The pattern of Willy’s is failure. Parents should set a good example to children. In one word, some measures should be taken to reduce the tragedy of Willy in society.All in all, the conflicts from society and individuals are both unavoidable. All the conflicts are rooted in objective reality which isn’t influenced by individual will. The inevitability of conflicts determines the inevitability of Willy’s tragedy. The inevitability of the tragedy makes the study of practical significance necessary.5. ConclusionThis thesis discusses the inevitability of Willy Loman’s tragedy in Death of a salesman. To analyze the inevitability of Willy Loman is mainly from two aspects, the social background and the conflicts in Willy’s life. Through the analysis of the social reality, the readers get to know that the tragedy is rooted in society. There is a close relationship between the social real ity and the tragedy. Willy Loman is just a representative of the age. From the analysis of the conflicts in Willy’s life, we learn that the all the conflicts are unavoidable. Conflicts are the most important factors in Willy’s tragedy. The tragedy is inevitable automatically because of the unavoidable conflicts.All in all, Willy Loman’s tragedy is inevitable. The social reality and the conflicts cause Willy’s tragedy. It is of great significance to study the inevitability of Willy Loman’s tragedy and excavate its practical significance and academic values to guide our life.Bibliography[1] Miller, Arthur.

浅析《推销员之死》威利·洛曼的悲剧根源

浅析《推销员之死》威利·洛曼的悲剧根源威利·洛曼是阿瑟·米勒的戏剧代表作《推销员之死》中的主人公,本文从美国的社会环境,社会的价值标准,以及主人公的自身性格等各个角度剖析了主人公的悲剧根源。
标签:《推销员之死》;社会环境;美国梦;悲剧美国著名作家阿瑟·米勒最重要的剧作之一《推销员之死》被认为是第二次世界大战以来的最佳美国戏剧。
主人公威利不是传统的、古典悲剧人物,而是成千上万普通美国人中的一员。
正是这样一位普通美国人的命运悲剧震撼了无数美国观众,使威利成为美国戏剧舞台上家喻户晓的人物,塑造了一个梦幻中寻找自我,在现实生活中遭受“美国梦”破灭打击和摧残的原形形象。
《推销员之死》剧中威利一无所有,没有工资,只领佣金。
他们推销的只是别人的东西,他相信只要讨人喜欢、具有魅力,世界的大门就会朝他敞开。
他把自己的生活建筑在这样的梦想之上。
他对辛格曼佩服的无体投地,因为辛格曼推销的非常成功,他不必离开旅馆,一个电话就能成交,84岁去世时,有那么多买家和同行为他送葬。
由于他总是生活在自己想象的世界当中,把幻想当作现实,所以他常常说大话。
他不顾自己推销不受欢迎的事实,吹牛说自己在新英格兰如何重要,说自己的销售额如何高,他就这样陷进自己的谎言中不能自拔。
早年,他的哥哥本劝他去阿拉斯加发财,但他的妻子林达说:“你在华纳公司不是干得挺好吗?有希望成为股东啊。
”结果他错过了机会,连起初林达劝他求老板给他在城里的差使,他也只能拒绝,因为“他在新英格兰很重要”,而事实却是老板把他解雇了。
对待大儿子比夫,他又拼命灌输“只要讨人喜欢,有魅力就能成功”的思想,致使比夫长期不能正确认识自己,他还姑息比夫的偷窃倾向,造成了另一代人的悲剧。
威利的盲目性使他嫉妒邻居查理的成功,拒绝查理给他提供的职业。
他硬要比夫相信自己的魅力足以使旧老板借一笔巨款给他开业。
最后,当比夫声泪俱下的帮助他正视现实的时候,他又误认为比夫还是接受他的观点,需要他,因而决定自杀,以便留一笔钱给他。
外国戏剧《推销员之死》人物分析

分析《推销员之死》外国戏剧中的威利——09广告学李琼200903113021 《推销员之死》是典型的现实主义悲剧,现实主义悲剧是社会的悲剧,所以从剧中的主角威利·洛曼的悲剧中我们可以看见一个社会的悲剧。
威利是个巡回推销员,就像他的名字Lowman所暗示,他属于社会的低层人物,没有固定工资,只领佣金。
他们推销的只是别人的东西,他相信,人只要讨人喜欢,具有魅力,世界的大门就朝他敞开。
威利的偶像是推销员大卫·辛格曼,他活到84岁,只要在旅馆里拨个电话,就能做成交易,死后在新英格兰有许多买主和同行为他送葬,极尽哀荣。
他把自己的生活建筑在这样的梦想之上,由于他总是生活在自己想象的世界中,把幻想当作现实,所以会常常说大话。
他不顾自己推销事业已经走向下坡的事实,吹牛说自己在新英格兰如何重要,说自己的销售额如何高,他就这样陷进自己的谎言中不能自拔。
可是老威利已63岁了,干推销这一行已经34年,现在的新老板不顾及他早年立下的汗马功劳,狠心的解雇了他。
然而家里却还有零零碎碎许多开支要支付,两个儿子事业也不成功。
经济负担、精神负担加上长途驾驶,威利心力交瘁,精神错乱。
就这样威利的一生在错误的梦想中度过,也为了一个错误的梦想而死。
到快死的时候威利发现,他自己就像他分期付款购买的东西一样,等你付完款后,东西便用尽或者坏了。
他付清了最后一次房款,而他却到坟墓里安息去了。
在美国社会,人老了就象被吃光了肉的橘子一样,皮被扔掉。
主人公“威利”就生活在这个时代,是美国人的二三十年代(钢丝录音机发明),那是一个牛奶和面包的递送是以利润最大化、而非效用最大化为原则的。
所以,牛奶会掺三聚氰胺,威利也会面临失业和本的诱惑。
除了经济与生存的问题。
此剧还展示了以其为基础的一系列关联的范畴:梦想与现实,父与子,夫与妻,贪婪与淡然、运气于拼搏……《推销员之死》给人的第一印象是美国底层无产者的命运悲剧:威廉•洛曼劳碌一生,临近退休公司却将他开除,走投无路之下自杀换得保险金以帮助自己的儿子立业。

浅析《推销员之死》主人公威利·洛曼悲剧结局的心理原因

浅析《推销员之死》主人公威利·洛曼悲剧结局的心理原因作者:杨眉来源:《青年时代》2018年第22期摘要:《推销员之死》是美国20世纪重要剧作家阿瑟·米勒最具影响力的作品之一,曾获普利策奖和纽约剧评奖。
本文拟采用心理分析法对《推销员之死》主人公威利·洛曼的人物形象进行分析,探寻其注定悲剧结局的心理原因。
关键词:威利·罗曼;心理分析;悲剧《推销员之死》设定在主人公威利·洛曼生命最后24小时的内心活动。
从他对过去的沉思以及与妻儿和邻居的对话中,处处体现了法国精神分析学家拉康“镜像阶段”理论的特征,即对“他者”的依赖和对自我的虚幻认识。
一、自我异化拉康的镜像阶段理论认为,镜前的孩子在辨认镜中自我影像时,包含双重错误识别:一是当其把自己的镜中影像指认为另一个孩子时,是将“自我”指认为“他者”;二是当其把镜中影像认作自己时,又将光影当成了现实,混淆了真实与虚构,并由此对自己的镜像开始了终生的迷恋。
镜像阶段理论的“他者”是“自我异化”的参照,“他者”的缺失会造成自我定位的混乱。
而弗洛伊德认为许多成年人的心理冲突都可追溯到早年期的创伤性经历和压抑。
威利自视甚高、不切实际的性格特征或多或少源于幼儿时期的心理创伤。
威利几乎没有对原生家庭的记忆,父亲在他3岁11个月的时候离开了家。
父母的缺失使威利自小缺乏安全感,总觉得“没有着落”。
通过威利的回忆得知,哥哥本在他心中是父亲的化身,是成功的标准,是内心的另一个“我”。
本作为冒险家和开拓者的传奇人生也是威利的榜样,21岁就完成财富积累更成为鼓励威利一生奋斗的源泉,即便在威利决定自杀之前仍然幻想与已逝的本讨论着感兴趣的事业,并遗憾没有到阿拉斯加去替本管理森林,成为像本那样的人。
在镜像阶段的延续中,而永远只出现在回忆和幻象中的本作为威利想成为的“他者”又加强了其性格中的自我矛盾,这种对镜像“他者”的迷恋导致了威利性格缺陷,让他更为困惑、迷茫,也是他一生痛苦的根源。
一个普通人的悲剧——评《推销员之死》中的威利·洛曼

第30卷湖南师范大学社会科学学报Jo urnal of Social Science of Hunan Normal UniversityMay,2001一个普通人的悲剧)))评5推销员之死6中的威利#洛曼X肖立宏(湖南师范大学外国语学院,湖南长沙410081)摘要:5推销员之死6是美国戏剧史上的三大悲剧之一。
它不同于古典悲剧,讲述的是一个普普通通的旅行推销员的故事。
主人公威利#洛曼的悲剧命运主要表现在以下几个方面:/美国梦0的受害者;不称职的父亲;被不理解丈夫的妻子所纵容的牺牲者。
威利#洛曼的悲剧命运相当有典型性,引起了观众和评论界的强烈反响。
关键词:威利#洛曼;普通人;悲剧;美国梦阿瑟#密勒于1949年2月10日推出的5推销员之死6无疑是他创作的诸多话剧中最成功的一部。
该剧上演之后好评如潮。
评论家普遍认为该剧不仅具有高超的艺术价值,而且有着深刻的社会意义,是戏剧史上难得的一部佳作。
这位当时年仅35岁的剧作家之所以能获得如此与众不同的公认,不仅在于他极为关注影响美国人的社会问题,而且还因为他发展了一种新型的现代悲剧模式。
一悲剧源于古希腊。
亚里士多德在5诗学6第六章中,对悲剧作了深刻的研究和阐述,并给悲剧下了这样一个定义:/悲剧是对一个严肃、完整、有一定长度的行动的摹仿;它的媒介是语言,具有各种悦耳之音,分别在剧的各部分使用;摹仿方式是借人物的动作表达,而不是采用叙述法;借引起怜悯与恐惧来使这种情感提到陶冶。
0[1](P19)他在5诗学6第十三章里进一步指出悲剧主要人物必须是/名声显赫,生活幸福,,,例如俄狄浦斯、堤厄斯忒斯以及出身于他们这样的家庭的著名人物。
0[1](P39)纵观古希腊或伊利莎白时代的剧作家,其悲剧主人公多是名声显赫、出身高贵的人,都围绕着英雄、国王和神的命运来写。
如5俄狄浦斯王6中的俄狄浦斯是一个聪明诚实、热爱真理、勇于承担责任的贤明的国王。
5被缚的普罗米修斯6中给人类带来温暖与幸福的普罗米修斯本身就是神。
《推销员之死》中琳达·洛曼形象解读

《推销员之死》中琳达·洛曼形象解读张岚【摘要】阿瑟·米勒在他的戏剧《推销员之死》中栩栩如生地塑造了各种各样的人物形象,琳达是最为复杂的一个。
琳达不仅是父权制下边缘化的妇女,而且是威利和整个家庭悲剧的促进者。
【期刊名称】安徽工业大学学报(社会科学版)【年(卷),期】2010(027)005【总页数】2【关键词】《推销员之死》;父权制;琳达;悲剧人物美国著名的现代剧作家阿瑟·米勒于1949年写的《推销员之死》揭露了“美国梦的疵点”,被誉为“美国梦不再”的代表作。
作品在百老汇首演后获得巨大成功,震惊了美国剧坛,为33岁的米勒在美国戏剧界奠定了大师的地位,并一举赢得当年美国的三项大奖:“纽约戏剧评论奖”、“普利策戏剧奖”和美国舞台艺术成就最高奖项“托尼戏剧音乐奖”,《纽约时报》称它为20世纪话剧的里程碑。
该剧获得如此成功,除米勒刻画了美国普通人的美国梦之外,更重要的是他在剧中栩栩如生地塑造了各种各样的人物形象,其中,琳达就是最为复杂的一个。
表面上她只是父权制下边缘化的妇女、受害者、“好妻子”、“好母亲”,但是米勒并没有让琳达停留在这样的形象上。
从剧本的细节描写中,我们可以看出琳达作为“好妻子”、“好母亲”名不副实,相反是这部作品悲剧意义的重要促进者。
一、琳达——父权制下的边缘女人广义上讲,父权制是指父亲居主要权力位置的一种社会。
在父权制家庭里,父亲握有家庭成员的生死大权,而丈夫则可以对妻子实行严格的约束和统治。
女性主义先驱波伏娃指出:“一个人之为女人,与其说是天生的,不如说是形成的。
人类文化的整体,产生出这居间于男性和无性中的所谓女性。
”[1] 这充分说明了父权文化系统是女性受压迫和歧视的社会前提。
男人不仅是经济文化生活的主宰,也是女人的主宰,女人则是臣属的、次要的、边缘的。
女性缺乏独立人格,也没有社会的主体地位。
琳达是父权制下典型的“好妻子”。
她顺从丈夫威利,也符合二战后美国梦“好妻子”的理想。
最新 《推销员之死》中威利的悲剧形象-精品

《推销员之死》中威利的悲剧形象1949年,年仅35岁的话剧家阿瑟·密勒推出了话剧《推销员之死》,该剧连续上演700多场而经久不衰,获得了评论家的高度评价,并获得了美国普利策戏剧奖和纽约剧评家奖。
《推销员之死》取材于阿瑟·密勒17岁时创作的微型小说《悼念》,主人公威利·洛曼是纽约一家服装公司的推销员,他认为一生中最自豪的事情就是他的工作与儿子,但是他当了30多年推销员未实现出人头地的愿望,他儿子比夫34岁了,也没找到一份像样儿的工作。
在事业和家庭的双重打击下,威利最终选择了自杀。
该剧以普通人的“现代悲剧”探讨了美国国民价值观的问题,展现了梦想与现实之间的尖锐冲突,揭示了现代社会中个体生存的无奈与荒诞性。
一、威利的人生悲剧威利是华格纳公司的旅行推销员,威利有自己的梦想——在商业界大展身手,并获得社会的尊重。
为此,他勤奋工作,经常开车往返各州推销货物,并建立了自己的推销网络,给老板带来了丰厚的利润。
威利不仅相信自己能在推销领域挖掘出“金矿”,对儿子也充满期望,认为很有橄榄球天赋的大儿子比夫一定会成为橄榄球明星,给家庭带来巨额财富和莫大荣誉。
年轻的时候,威利曾有过辉煌的战绩——一天之内到波士顿进行六七次登门推销,但是现在他年迈体弱,每天进行一两次推销就疲惫不堪了。
35年的奔波奋斗并未实现自己的理想,于是威利开始怀疑自己的能力,“已63岁的威利心力交瘁,他不相信自己能开车,不想继续推销的旅程,就回到布鲁克林的家中”,“他觉得回家的感觉真好,家中能找到一些慰藉心灵的东西”,当威利提出调动办公室工作的要求时,老板并未批准他的要求,而是无情地将他解雇。
这位“优秀”的旅行推销员,一生忙忙碌碌却一无所获,最后“像一条老狗似的被扔进坟墓里”,只能靠佣金度日,并不得不向他最讨厌的查莱借钱。
残酷的现实和梦想的破灭使威利身心疲惫、精神焦躁,常生活于回忆与幻想之中,开车、走路、工作时精神常难以集中,几次萌生自杀念头,但威利的梦想并没有完全破灭,他仍对自己以及两个儿子心存幻想,他想以撞车自杀的方式获得两万美元的赔偿金,以帮助儿子实现他未能实现的“美国梦”。

论《推稍员之死》中威利悲剧命运的必然性发布时间:2022-06-16T02:07:09.544Z 来源:《中国教工》2022年第4期2月作者:董建奎[导读] 美国著名剧作家亚瑟·米勒的作品《推销员之死》中主人公威利·络曼的悲剧是众所周知的,该论文董建奎亳州学院外语系,安徽亳州 236800 )摘要:美国著名剧作家亚瑟·米勒的作品《推销员之死》中主人公威利·络曼的悲剧是众所周知的,该论文深刻分析其原因在于他受父神意象的深刻影响,这来自于荣格精神分析心理学中的父神幻象。
而这种幻象就是植根于男性心理中的父神原型,其来源于集体无意识。
威利在精神方面对父神意向的错觉,对父神身份的盲目追求和迷恋,与他在现实中的诸多失望和失败形成的反差使其精神崩溃,心理幻灭,最终走向自杀这条不归路,酿成了他必然的悲剧命运。
关键词:威利·络曼;父神原型;精神分析心理学;悲剧中图分类号:I712.074 文献标识码:A一、引言美国著名剧作家亚瑟·米勒在他的许多作品中,特别是在《推销员之死》中,深深地表现出他对父亲身份意识的关注。
这部作品讲述了一位尽职尽责的父亲威利·洛曼,把所有的希望都寄托在销售事业和他儿子的身上,当一切的希望破灭时,他制造车祸自杀,为了寻求保险公司的赔付以挽救他儿子的未来, 赢回他作为父亲所应受到的尊重。
米勒对父亲身份的关注根植于他自己的经历,对于父子关系的深层挖掘是他作品的主题之一。
该论文运用荣格精神分析学中的父神原型理论来分析威利的父亲身份意识和父神形象。
荣格对男性气质和父亲身份崇拜给予了解释。
他相信无意识是可以分析的。
他把意识分为个人无意识和集体无意识,并把后者作为原型。
根据荣格的解释,原型是“自从远古时代就已存在的普遍意象”,是在人类最原始的阶段形成的[1]。
荣格认为原型对于个人心理起到了巨大的作用,并且会产生幻觉:它用一种原始的力量控制着人类的心理,并且穿越人性的界限。
