A Feminist Reading of A Thousand Splendid Suns_英语论文

摘要

因处女作《放风筝的人》而闻名世界文坛的阿富汗裔美国作家卡勒德·胡塞尼于2007年再次将目光聚焦于阿富汗, 为读者带来了第二本著作《灿烂千阳》。小说通过描写两个阿富汗妇女的悲惨遭遇，展现了阿富汗妇女在战乱以及父权制社会的压迫下苦苦挣扎的历程。

本文拟从女性主义视角对《灿烂千阳》进行解读，分析两名阿富汗妇女玛丽雅姆和莱拉在父权制社会下所遭受的来自战乱、贫困以及家庭暴力的压迫。她们彼此建立起深厚的友谊，共同反抗来自家庭和社会的压迫。本文旨在指出，父权制社会下，女性只有团结起来，通过坚持不懈的抗争，才能获得独立和自主。
