2021电影《欲望号街车》中人物与各元素的隐喻内涵范文3

2021电影《欲望号街车》中人物与各元素的隐喻内涵范文 一、布兰奇:一只残破的蝴蝶 布兰奇因为种种原因离开自己长久生活的地方,独自闯入一片本不属于自己的地方。

她是一只美丽耀眼的蝴蝶,但却独闯现实主义社会,最终残破不堪。

布兰奇生活的环境体现出美国所特有的美国文化...南方种植园文化,她的传统和固执正是此文化的代表特性。

布兰奇固然美丽,但这份固执让她坚信自己所幻想的都是真实的,这份不面对现实的胆怯让布兰奇美丽的翅膀一再枯萎,吸取不到现实提供的养分,布兰奇在自己的世界里放纵着自己无限膨胀的欲望,一次次地把自己逼到濒临崩溃。

此时的布兰奇,是一只残破的蝴蝶,想在美好的幻想中存活,却被妹夫斯坦利一次次拉回现实。

她努力在自己的世界里展翅飞舞,却常常因幻想世界的狭小虚无而被撞得头破血流。

人们不能一直活在幻想中,理想主义的虚无缥缈,注定人们不能凭借着这种精神寄托在社会中长久生存。

布兰奇是从小娇生惯养,受过旧式南方教育的优雅女子,她不仅仅是她自己,更是代表着这一类优雅并清高的女子。

布兰奇象征着南方种植园经济,她如同蝴蝶一般美丽高雅,却也生性敏感,思想保守,她固执地坚持着自己无限膨胀的欲望,不断幻想出自己所认为的世界,这使她一步步封闭自我,并且让她与其他人渐行渐远,成为这个世界、这个社会不能理解也不能包容的特殊体。

布兰奇在自己的幻想和欲望中开始崩溃,思想的逐渐精神质让她更加逃避现实。

布兰奇已经失去了她的庄园,她想在妹妹丝黛拉的家里构建出自己主导的世界,她想以自己的思想和方式重启美好的虚幻的梦。

但阶级烙印与现实格格不入的行为,注定了她毁灭性的结局。

而布兰奇的毁灭也暗示着种植园经济制度最终因为自身的局限性而被历史否定。

布兰奇的存在体现出理想主义和现实主义同时存在时的对立冲突和特殊平衡。

尽管在《欲望号街车》 中现实战胜了幻想,威廉斯却暗示幻想与想象是一种重要而有益的工具。

剧末,布兰奇完全沉浸到自己的幻想世界中去,这在一定程度上让她能够保护自己免受残酷现实的打击。

田纳西·威廉斯《欲望号街车》中的象征意义

田纳西·威廉斯《欲望号街车》中的象征意义

田纳西·威廉斯《欲望号街车》中的象征意义作者:吴林桧李闰涛来源:《文学教育下半月》2016年第07期内容摘要:在威廉斯的作品《欲望号街车》中,象征的写作手法不仅是一种纯粹的戏剧表达形式,更切合了诗歌的审美需要。

本文将分析《欲望号街车》这部剧中主要的象征符号,剖析它们是如何作用于剧中所表达的现实与虚拟这一矛盾的主题。

关键词:象征主题虚拟现实田纳西.威廉姆斯出生于美国南方一个没落的贵族世家,她的母亲是一位来自南方的大家闺秀,而他的父亲言行粗鄙,是一个低俗的酒鬼。

在这样家庭长大的威廉姆斯常常受到来自父亲的讥讽,这给生性敏感的留下了深深的自卑的影子。

由于家道中落,威廉姆斯在大学求学过程中,不得不中断学业,外出打工维持家用,但其后,他凭借自己坚强的毅力完成了学业。

后来他们全家搬至美国北方的圣路易斯,但是一切似乎并不顺利,他的母亲得病,酗酒的父亲经常殴打懦弱的母亲,他的姐姐也因为精神上不能忍受父亲的作为而患上了精神病。

威廉姆斯的这一切经历使得《欲望号街车》看上去更像一部自传性的作品,剧中的斯坦利的原型就是威廉姆斯在工厂工作的同事,也是一个好赌、酗酒、低俗之人,斯坦利身上有威廉姆斯父亲的影子,而布兰奇则有点像威廉姆斯的母亲和姐姐。

《欲望号街车》是威廉姆斯的第二部剧作,也是他最钟爱的一部。

这部剧是以20世纪的美国为时代背景,女主角布兰奇因为家道中落,失去了工作和名声后,来到新奥尔良投靠她的妹妹,试图重新开始新的生活。

而他的妹夫是波兰移民的儿子,性格粗鲁莽撞,且酗酒嗜赌。

这让从小长在贵族家庭、受过传统旧式南方教育的布兰奇与这里的环境和人显得格格不入。

史坦利十分厌恶骄纵的布兰奇,试图要毁掉她的生活,最终,布兰奇被送到了精神病院。

正如田纳西。

威廉姆斯自己说过:他的作品就是要表现那些敏感、脆弱而又不想与现实妥协的人最终被毁灭的过程。

这部剧的出现,彻底结束了好莱坞黄金时代所反映的理想主义与浪漫色彩的主题,将人性刻画得淋漓尽致。

Blanche Dubois: An Anti-Hero In a streetcar named desire Abstract:This paper was how much I disagreed with some of the claims made about Blanche,I genuinely found some of the statements made by thesecritics to be quite inaccurate, at least in my opinion, so proving themwrong with the evidence from Tennessee Williams in my paper followednaturally. Blanche, as the representative of delicate and fragile southernfemale images, has been the focus of discussion. Later on, this paperanalyzes this typical controversial heroine from the perspective offeminism in terms of social culture, economic factorKeywords: desire, feminism, social culture, economic factor1IntroductionTennessee Williams is widely considered the greatest southern playwright and one of the greatest playwrights in the history of American drama, whose masterpieces include Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Desire, The Rose Tattoo, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Night of the Iguana, etc.. In these plays, he creates many unforgettable characters, especially lonely, depressed, coward and mind-distorted southern female images.As one of the most recognizable characters in American drama and a fading but sexy Southern belle, Blanche Dubois suffers from the death of her husband who has turned out to be homosexual and committed suicide, the loss of her ancestral home and the passing away of her elder relatives. Guilty and grieve, she dates with a variety of men. Finally her reputation is ruined and she is dismissed due to having an affair with a young boy in her school. And then she turns to her sister Stella for help, who lives in the slum of New Orleans where she is acquainted with Mitch, the brother-in-law Stanley‟s fellow worker. Blanche dreams to start a new life with him, but the dream is broken due to her conflict with Stanley. In the end, their final, inevitable confrontation—a rape—results in Blanches nervous breakdown, and she is sent to a madhouse. Like a delicate and fragile work of art handed down from American Old South, she cannot get rid of a set of hypocritical, strict and controversial moral standards and shows difficulty in adapting to modern culture. She is doomed to undergo misfortunes, lose self and finally go to destruction.2 From the perspective of Tennessee WilliamsThrough the play , Wi lliams‟s sympathies lie with Blanche; this sympathy condemns the environment that has brought about Blanches tragic circumstances. Sympathy for Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire is found in large part from the obvious trauma she has experienced due to the loss of her beloved husband, Allan Grey. Ironically, this aspect of the play is also one that critics and readers frequently use to demonize Blanche and disprove her role as a sympathetic character. critics claim Williams believes Blanche behaved hatefully toward her husband or failed him in some manner, leading to the death she now laments and Blanche had a responsibility as a wife to somehow rescue her husband from his own sexuality However, this claim compared with the trauma that the death has caused Blanche, and the implications of the overwhelming love she felt for Allan Grey may have been the last true emoti on‟Evidence also shows that the traumatic loss of her husband was a driving force that leads Blanche to Stella‟s doorstep. The scandalous event s that drive Blanche to her ultimate defeat do not begin until after Allan‟s death, and she even admits, “After the death of Allan—intimacies with strangers was all I seemed able to fill my empty heart with . . . I think it was panic, just panic, that drove me from one to another, hunting for some protection”. Williams implies that Blanche is not inherently impious; the disintegration of the loving marriage she once clung to leads her to a wrong path.Another situation in which Williams shows sympathy toward Blanche is her most dramatic victimization in the play: her rape. This scene requires careful analysis to understand that Stanley‟s rape of Blanche is indeed an antagonistic victimization, some claim that Williams goes to great lengths to obscure the fact that rape is a political crime ,making this seem a crime of passion and desire rather than one of violence, cruelty, and revenge .However, this argument is in complete dissonance with the obvious signs of Blanches noncompliance in the rape and utterly ignores Williams‟s vilification of Stanley throughout the play. In addition to Blanches evident noncompliance, Williams‟s vilification of Stanley throughout the entire play draws aclear distinction between victim and villain in the rape scene. Upon Stanley‟s first appearance, Williams describes how “he seizes women up at a glance . . . crude images flashing into his mind and determining the way he smiles at them,” and in the next line Blanche not coincidentally “draw s involuntarily back from his stare” (25). This significant exchange sets the mood for the tension between Blanche and Stanley that continues throughout the play. Several times Blanche regards Stanley with a “look of panic” or a “frightened look”, subtle stage directions that further Stanley‟s dark portrayal and foreshadow his victimization of Blanche. The fact that Stanley is characterized as erotic and Blanche merely as mentally weak and insecure reflects where Williams‟s sympathies lie; it does not imply that Blanche brings on Stanley‟s womanizing cruelty but rather that any woman could become his prey. Williams establishes Blanche‟s role as Stanley‟s victim far earlier on in the play than his physical domination of her, and Stanley‟s menacing characterization implies that Blanche‟s flawed chara cter does not give her singular potential to fall victim to him.In A Streetcar Named Desire‟s final scene, Williams makes his sympathetic tone toward Blanche tangible by exploiting her vulnerability before the indifference of the people and society that surrounds her. In addition to the ir onic comment “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”, Blanche‟s vulnerability is also illuminated through stage directions such as “a look of sorrowful perplexity as though all human experience shows on her face” and “She turns her face to [the doctor] and stares at him with desperate pleading”. Blanches vulnerability leaves her sharply exposed before the cold unresponsiveness of the people who witness her defeat and represent the society in which she has been immersed: the men‟s poker game resumes abruptly after her dramatic exit, Blanches own sister Stella returns her pleas delivered in a “frightening whisper” by staring blankly back at her in a “moment of silence”, and Eunice simply responds to her claim of rape with, “Don‟t ever believe it. Life has got to go on”. The other characters in the play, representative of the era‟s misogynistic society, choose to disregard Blanches plight in accordance with what society expects. Blanche has fallen victim to the brutality of male dominance, yet even the women around her turn a blind eye to her suffering in order to avoid any disruption of theireveryday lives.One can easily deduce Williams‟s sympathy toward Blanche throughout the play and even in the circumstances of her downfall, which gives greater insight into both Williams‟s perceptions of her role as a character and his own views. Although at first glance Blanches checkered sexual past and addiction to the attention of men seem to safely secure her a pigeonhole in a womanizing society, in reality her experiences have only broken down her weak spirit and driven her to her downfall. Because of Williams‟s sympathy, Blanche becomes a tra gic protagonist in A Streetcar Named Desire and transforms the play into a sort of allegory: Williams uses her plight to criticize the social circumstances that have both shaped her flawed persona and led to her demise. This social commentary leaves Williams‟s motivations in question: as a homosexual male, why exactly is Williams so sympathetic toward Blanche? One possibility is that Williams‟s homosexuality in a heavily masculine society rendered him naturally sympathetic toward the plight of women, with whom he probably identified more than with the archetypical male of the era. Another explanationis that, as a homosexual, Williams criticized heterosexuality itself, condemning the sexuality that turns Blanche into a victim, Stanley into a monster, and the rest of the characters into puppets on socio-cultural strings. Altho ugh Williams‟s personal motives are debatable, the story he creates with Blanche Dubois presents a clearly sympathetic portrait of a woman .3. Social cultureIt is reasonable that almost every person‟s fame is closely related to the place where he/she grows up, so it is necessary to probe into briefly the history of the South and its cultural background in order to have a deeper investigation of the heroine‟s destruction. The prewar South is full of contradictory memories. The Southern plantation economy set a division between planters and slaves. The slaves worked all-day long under the whip, whereas the rich planters behaved like feudal lords and lived a luxury life. Under the influence of such an economic environment, the upper class of the South believ ed “itself to be unique, because it projected itself as suchthrough its writers and spokesmen, because it manufactured a folklore of plantation aristocracy, of the magnolia paradise of the antebellum days, of the Greek society and the peculiar institution of slavery, of the Lost Cause, of White Supremacy, and of the need to be born there to understand it all, and Southerners repeated this litany so many times that it became true—or almost so.” (Horton, 1987: 377) Then the framework of the South can be established: its social pattern is based on manor; its civilization is Permeated with idealized chivalry; its ruling class behaves as an aristocracy, either a gentleman or a lovely lady. They live in large mansions, own lots of estates, and have colorful soci al life. It is a “world singularly polished and mellow and poised, wholly dominated by ideals of honor and chivalry and noblesse” (Li, 2004: 21), where Blanche was brought up and used to live for years. In fact, the self-contained and self-sufficient South is an epitome of patriarchal society. Simone de Boudoir points out in her book The second sex, “males don‟t interpret females according to females Themselves, whereas they regard females as independent ones… males can be taken as the reference to define and distinguish females, while the reference to define and distinguish males cannot be females. …She‟ is the Essential in opposition of the Inessential. …He‟ is the subject and the Absolute, whereas …she‟ is the other.” (Boudoir, 1998:11) From the above arguments, it can be seen that there exists a relation of subordination and dominance, the essential and inessential, object and subject, and the other and self between males and females. Therefore, in patriarchal society, males stand at a positive position and females play a passive and inessential role. Charlotte Perkins Gilman also considers gender as the core of analysis to reveal the fact of gender oppression, pointing out that the females‟ dependence on males is not due to physiological difference but the result of coercive act of male culture (Jin, 2004:367). Particularly Kate Millet holds in Sexual Politics that the gender relation between males and females is a kind of power one, that is “sexual politics” (Jin, 2004:595). Similarly, in the south, the men as the center of the society control money, power and even women. They form their own standards to evaluate the society and other people. Women live a life of dependence on them, both economically and mentally. And there is another obvious feature here. That is the tendency toward idealism, romanticismand hedonism. Women have to keep beautiful appearance, behave graciously and flirt with men in order to please them. It is inevitable that women would lose their self when faced with traditional customs and strict standards set by men.4. Economical factorMarxism feminist theory argues that economic factor is the root of the oppression that women suffer from (Luo, 2004:100). The economic dependence on men deprives women of the right to dominate their own fate and the strength to struggle against men so that they are reduced into the other affiliated by men. British writer, Virginia Woolf thinks that women‟s independent economic status is the material foundation to obtain personal freedom. If women are dependent on men economically, they are deprived of all the equal rights (Wu, 2005:69). The economic structure of plantation in the South removes women from productive labor so that they cannot obtain the independent economic status. Even if Blanche is forced to work outside because of economic necessity, she has to choose to be a teacher in a high school which is regarded as a decent occupation of women. And as Blanche tells Mitch her miserable situation, “A teacher‟s salary is barely sufficient for her living expenses. I didn‟t save a penny last year and so I had to come here for the summer.”(Williams, 2005:1179) Evidently, her meager incomes are barely enough to maintain her extravagant life. So, it is quite natural that she has to turn to men for help after the suicide of her husband, death of relatives and loss of her manor, and she considers it the only choice to face the cruel environment, as she says, “Whoever you are-I have always dependedon the kindness of strangers” (Williams, 2005:1203) She is in and out through the gate of the second-rate hotel of Laurel and keeps dating with different men until she is banished from the town. Then she doesn‟t have any thing to her name except a dishonorable past and a trunk that just contains her clothes and some worthless papers, so she has no alternative but to seek refuge from her sister Stella in New Orleans. In Stella‟s house, she seduces her brother-in-law Stanley when meeting him for the first time, because she understands that she needs his financial support when she stays there. She says, “…maybe he (Stanley) is what we need to mix with our blood nowthat we‟ve lost Belle Reve.”(Williams, 2005:1156) But her behavior of Southern culture of delicacy and romance doesn‟t fit in with Stanley who is an animalize d person with peevish disposition. It is an irony that just immediately after she resolves to Stella at the poker night “I‟m going to do something. Get hold of myself and make myself a new life,” (Williams, 2005:1166), she turns to a married millionaire S hep Huntleigh for financial support. Her excuse is that she only has “sixty-five measly cents in coin of the realm” in the purse. Thus having recourse to this millionaire seems an effective means “to get hold of some money” and “the way out.” (Williams, 2005:1166) However, the help call and the message are not sent out. And her next proposal is Stanley‟s fellow worker Mitch, by whom she wants to get rid of the destitution and the dependence on Stanley. She thinks if the marriage with Mitch happens, she can “leave here (Stella‟s home), and not be anyone‟s problem” (Williams, 2005:1173) and live a stable life. But things do not turn out as one wishes. When knowing her past, Mitch abandons her ruthlessly. After she parts company with Mitch, she is so depressed that she creates an illusion for herself, in which she has received a telegram form Shep Huntleigh inviting her to a cruise of the Caribbean on a yacht. Without exception her luxurious life is again built on the support of men, even in an illusion. Actually, this millionaire may not exist at all, and just appears an imagined person in Blanche‟s one-sided statement. He stands for an ideal symbol that can bring material strength of dependence and guarantee for women, more exactly for Blanche. That he never shows up and gives the substantial aid to Blanche may suggest that if women place their hope and fortune on men, their oppressed and subordinate status can never be changed, and their dream of happy life is bound to break. In short, women‟s economic depende nce on men in patriarchal society serves as one of factors that result in Blanche‟s destruction.5.ConclusionBlanche is one of such females born and brought up in Old South who feels difficult in mastering her own fate and facing conflicts brought by industrialization and commercialization under the restriction and oppression of patriarchy, and onlyhides herself in imaginative world to release herself. Williams extends his great sympathy to this victim of patriarchy. However, it is evident from what Williams depicts about women that once they yield themselves to patriarchy, instead of struggling indomitably for their freedom, their miserable situation will not be changed.REFERENCES[1]Beauvoir, Simone de.

内容摘要
美国20世纪备受争议的天才剧作家田纳西·威廉斯的扛鼎之作,同名电影由影史传奇费雯·丽和马龙·白兰 度主演。纤毫毕现的南方式绝望,粗暴的情欲,彻底的堕落,极乐的疯狂;破碎世界的梦幻缩影,激烈而又惊悚 的亲密关系,动物般的肉体与征服。《欲望号街车》女主人公布兰奇是典型的南方淑女,家庭败落以后,不肯放 弃旧日的生活方式,逐渐堕落腐化,后来不得不投靠妹妹斯黛拉。但又与妹夫斯坦利粗暴的生活方式格格不入, 继而遭妹夫强奸,最后被送进疯人院。现代社会中野蛮残忍的势力无情地蹂躏温柔优雅的弱者,《欲望号街车》 无疑是向社会发出了一声振聋发聩的嘶喊——是谁把布兰奇逼疯了!1947年该剧在纽约上演后获得巨大成功,囊 括美国三项戏剧大奖:普利策奖、纽约戏剧奖和唐纳德森奖。阿瑟米勒称“《欲望号街车》的首演等于是在商业 戏剧的土地上插上了一面美的旗帜”。
读书笔记
“满腔悲哀,满腔情欲。 “威廉斯还赋予一个堕落女性形象男性同性恋的实质”,更大的悲剧。 我们无法真正地理解对方,无法真正地知道真实与虚假,因为我们无法诚实地面对自己。 后面的主题辨析真的太绝了!Who told you I wasn't——"straight"?。 看完原著发现翻拍的电影确实相当出色,白兰度和费雯丽演活了斯坦利的原始粗暴和兰奇的神经质和优雅。 来读这本书最大的原因在于摩登家庭这部剧。 主题解析很棒,让我更深刻理解了故事真谛,社会造就了悲哀的人生,人性的贪婪刚好触碰到欲望的陷阱! 无奈……。 对话精妙,人物刻画特别好,但对于同性恋这个隐晦描写,真的没看出来,我太笨了,不去想的话,真的想 不到。 从时间线上来讲,《欲望号街车》是《飘》的延续。 《欲望号街车》:大学一年级新学期开学没多久,便在电影选修课上看了这部电影。

【摘要】《欲望号街车》是美国剧作家田纳西·威廉斯的经典之作.自该剧首映以来,剧中主人公布兰奇则成为备受争议的人物.从“酷儿”叙事策略的角度解读《街车》,我们则发现:布兰奇并非同性恋者;布兰奇这一形象的设置在剧中有两个重要的功能——一方面是剧作家将其作为同性恋者的复仇对象,通过布兰奇的毁灭向敌视同性恋的异性恋发起挑战;另一方面是将其作为同性恋的同情者,通过其悲惨境遇的描绘来宣泄自身在现实中所受不公正待遇.

浅析剧作《欲望号街车》的悲剧审美

浅析剧作《欲望号街车》的悲剧审美

“欲望三部曲”是美国二十世纪伟大的戏剧作家田纳西?威廉斯创作生涯中的扛鼎之作,其中尤以《欲望号街车》最为著名。

阿瑟·米勒曾形容:“《街车》的首演就等于是在商业戏剧的土地上插上了一面美的旗帜…威廉斯的这出戏比他不论是此前还是以后的其他作品都更接近悲剧,它阴暗的结局没有得到丝毫的缓解。

”他以敏锐的专业眼光捕捉到了街车所蕴含的强烈的悲剧审美价值。

本文建立在对街车主题的辨析基础上,论述剧作的悲剧美学特征———事实上街车中混杂着“双重悲剧”,由此引起了观众更长时段更为深刻的审美体验,这也许正是街车富有神秘气息,经久不衰的秘密之一。

一.特殊的悲剧审美悲剧的经典定义来源于亚里士多德:“借以引起怜悯与恐惧来使这种感情得到净化。

”针对悲剧作品进行的审美活动应当为产生痛感,继而转化为悲剧快感和悲剧美感的过程。

威廉斯曾谈到它的作品中那“刺目、冰冷、暴力和愤怒的令人不安的调子”的产生是“由于顺应了生活的时代那日甚一日的愤怒和暴力的压力,通过身为作家和普通人的自我那日甚一日的压力自然释放出来。

”而观众们喜欢的原因也是因为“这同时也会释放他们自身的压力”。

愤怒、暴力的压力通常导致悲剧的发生,由此可见威廉斯在创作中始终坚持着悲剧性的审美追求,希望通过悲剧的呈现以引起观众的审美体验。

《街车》具有极强的文本延展性,表面上仅讲述了布兰琪和斯坦利的矛盾冲突,以布兰琪的悲剧结局告终。

实际上“舞台人物的活动并不重要,他们的重要使命是控握和讲述布兰琪堕落的故事。

”根据剧本可知,年少的布兰琪当众揭发丈夫艾伦致其自杀身亡是她堕落的根本原因,这是《街车》的隐性主题,同时也昭示另一重悲剧———艾伦和布兰琪的矛盾冲突,以艾伦的死作为悲剧的结局而告终。

作者使用了非常自然巧妙的技巧将两重悲剧进行了联系:从表现手法上来看,随着情节发展进行的实际上是逐步向读者展现另一悲剧的过程。

从故事情节上看艾伦的死是改变布兰琪的根源所在,当斯坦利抨击布兰琪时史黛拉多次说到“你不了解年轻时候的布兰琪,在她还是个小姑娘的时候,没有人比她更温柔,更易相信别人了”。

田纳西·威廉斯《欲望号街车》中的象征意义

田纳西·威廉斯《欲望号街车》中的象征意义

2016.07田纳西.威廉姆斯出生于美国南方一个没落的贵族世家,她的母亲是一位来自南方的大家闺秀,而他的父亲言行粗鄙,是一个低俗的酒鬼。

在这样家庭长大的威廉姆斯常常受到来自父亲的讥讽,这给生性敏感的留下了深深的自卑的影子。

由于家道中落,威廉姆斯在大学求学过程中,不得不中断学业,外出打工维持家用,但其后,他凭借自己坚强的毅力完成了学业。

后来他们全家搬至美国北方的圣路易斯,但是一切似乎并不顺利,他的母亲得病,酗酒的父亲经常殴打懦弱的母亲,他的姐姐也因为精神上不能忍受父亲的作为而患上了精神病。

威廉姆斯的这一切经历使得《欲望号街车》看上去更像一部自传性的作品,剧中的斯坦利的原型就是威廉姆斯在工厂工作的同事,也是一个好赌、酗酒、低俗之人,斯坦利身上有威廉姆斯父亲的影子,而布兰奇则有点像威廉姆斯的母亲和姐姐。

《欲望号街车》是威廉姆斯的第二部剧作,也是他最钟爱的一部。

这部剧是以20世纪的美国为时代背景,女主角布兰奇因为家道中落,失去了工作和名声后,来到新奥尔良投靠她的妹妹,试图重新开始新的生活。

而他的妹夫是波兰移民的儿子,性格粗鲁莽撞,且酗酒嗜赌。

这让从小长在贵族家庭、受过传统旧式南方教育的布兰奇与这里的环境和人显得格格不入。

史坦利十分厌恶骄纵的布兰奇,试图要毁掉她的生活,最终,布兰奇被送到了精神病院。

正如田纳西。

威廉姆斯自己说过:他的作品就是要表现那些敏感、脆弱而又不想与现实妥协的人最终被毁灭的过程。

这部剧的出现,彻底结束了好莱坞黄金时代所反映的理想主义与浪漫色彩的主题,将人性刻画得淋漓尽致。

一、象征的界定象征是一种艺术和美学的表现手法,旨在借用某种具体形象的事物表现特定的人物情感和主题。

在文学作品中,象征意义和象征符号是紧密结合在一起的。

[3]象征也是文学创作者常用的一种艺术手法,通过对生活中的平常之物进行渲染,将抽象的寓意表达出来,使其形象化、具体化,从而帮助作者理解作品所要传达的含义。

这种手法除了可以增强作品的表现力和艺术性,还可以创造一种艺术情景,使作品更加生动传神。
