摘要: 此论文采用精神分析的观点来阅读玛格丽特.艾特伍德的小说《可食的女人》。藉由精神分析的架构来探讨书中的女主角玛丽安对自己身为女人的自觉,以及分析玛丽安作为一个歇斯底里女人的主体性。另外,此论文也将透过阐述到底作为一个女人会面临什么样问题的过程中,重新检视玛丽安和其他角色的关系,并提出有别于其他评论者对女性气质的定义。
全文共分成五个部分。第一章简述此论文题目探讨的重要性,以及对这本小说的文献回顾和方法论的应用。第二章探讨玛丽安的欲求,除了解释何以歇斯底里患者的身体为一充满情欲的身体之外,也加以说明此欲望实为一未被满足之欲望,进而探讨玛丽安的厌食与母亲之间的关系。第三章探讨玛丽安对己身性别的困惑和他身为女人的自觉。在第四章中,我将提出玛丽安和邓肯之间的情感转移是玛丽安重新恢复健康和“正常”生活的关键所在。最后,经过一连串的探讨,我们了解到作为一个女人对玛丽安而言是什么,并藉由精神分析的观点重新定义女性气质,因此在结论部分,我将综合以上的论点来揭露小说的书名《可食的女人》所要传达的讯息。
This thesis adopts the psychoanalytic perspective to analyze Margaret Atwood’s novel, The Edible Woman. Under the framework of psychoanalysis, we discuss the protagonist’s, Marian’s, awareness of being a woman and also her subjectivity of being a hysteric woman. Besides, this thesis will re-examine the relationship between Marian and other characters via the problems confronted in a woman’s life and offer a new definition of femininity.
The thesis is divided into five parts. Chapter One describes the significance of the thesis topic, the literature review of the novel, and the methodology I will apply for in the following chapters. Chapter Two concerns what Marian desires. In addition to explaining why the hysteric’s body is an erotogenic body, I will further elucidate that Marian’s desire is actually an unsatisfied desire. In this chapter, I will also discuss the relationship between Marian’s anorexia nervosa and her mother. Chapter Three discusses Marian’s sexual confusion and what it is to be a woman for her. In Chapter Four, I want to prove that transference between Duncan and Marian is the key point for the restoration of Marian’s health and her “normal” life. Finally, after a series of discussions, we understand what it would be like to be a woman for Marian and redefine femininity in psychoanalytic perspective. Therefore, in my conclusion, I will combine the above theses to unveil the message hidden in the novel’s title, “The Edible Woman.”
