奥古斯特·威尔逊《钢琴课》的创伤解读

摘要

In 1990,＂The Piano Lesson＂ by Wilson was awarded with the Putizer Prize for a second time.With the popularity of the trauma theory,rereading of the drama makes the readers believe it is a trauma drama about African Americans.This drama starts to illustrate the opposite attitudes of the sister Bernice and her brother Willie towards the piano,which was inherited from their ancestors,then describes the history of their family and portrays the sister and brother＇s hard life path from being lost to winning the rebirth of themselves after the trauma caused by the misfortune of their family.%1990年,威尔逊因《钢琴课》第二次荣获普利策奖。随着创伤理论的兴起,对《钢琴课》的重新解读令人深刻地体会到这更是一部关于非裔移民的创伤戏剧。这部戏剧围绕姐弟俩对于处置祖先留下来的钢琴截然不同的态度展开,追述了家族的历史,刻画了姐姐伯妮斯和弟弟威利在家族遭受变故后受到创伤迷失自我,走出创伤重获新生的艰难历程。
