摘　　要：本文运用西方女性主义理论分析男性剧作家笔下的母亲形象,讨论母亲在挪威剧作家易卜生、美国剧作家奥尼尔和英国剧作家品特代表剧作中被放逐到＂阿拉斯加＂的过程。研究发现,多数剧作中的女性/母亲没有独立的身份,缺乏话语权,甚至要为男性的错误行为承担责任。男性把母亲边缘化以维护父权秩序,边缘化的女性在寻求主体性的过程中处于两难境地。Applying feminist theories to the analysis of motherhood in some representative plays by Henrik Ibsen, Eugene O＇Neill and Harold Pinter, this essay discusses how the mother is banished to such a marginalized place as ＂Alaska＂. Most women/mothers do not possess independent identities or the power to control discourse, and are sometimes blamed for male＇s mistake. It is argued that man attempts to safeguard the patriarchal order by marginalizing the mother whereas the marginalized woman/mother is often caught in a dilemma in seeking subjectivity.
