Abstract:

Critics think that The Good Terrorist is Doris Lessing’s representative work of feminist theme which symbolizes her return to realism after writing a series of science fictions. It is also the continuation and sublimation of female theme novels. In Lessing's works, she is always concerned about the contemporary politics and female problems. The Good Terrorist is also no exception. It follows Lessing’s familiar themes: the left-wing politics, the British class structure, family factors and the relationship between men and women. Lessing puts the complex character of the heroine Alice Mellings and her tragic fate as the leading factor and interprets this novel from the perspective of feminism. As the domestic scholars usually focus on Lessing’s The Golden Notebook and The Grass is Singing, the research on The Good Terrorist is quite scanty. Thus in this paper, the research and discussion of the novel can bring more enlightenment and resonance to readers.

Keywords: The Good Terrorist; Alice Mellings; complex character; feminism

摘  要：

评论界认为《好人恐怖分子》是多丽丝•莱辛在创作了一系列科幻题材小说后重新回归早期现实主义写作风格的代表作，同时也是女性主题小说的延续和升华。在莱辛的作品里，她一直以当代政治和女性问题为关注对象。《好人恐怖分子》也不例外，沿袭了莱辛熟悉的主题：左翼政治，英国阶级结构，家庭因素，男女关系。莱辛以女主人公爱丽丝•梅林斯的矛盾性格和由此带来的悲惨命运为主导，从女性主义的角度来书写《好人恐怖分子》。因为国内学者对莱辛著作的研究大都集中在《金色笔记》和《野草在唱歌》两部作品上，对《好人恐怖分子》研究则较少，所以本文对此书的研究与探讨可以为更多读者以后的阅读带来更多的启迪与共鸣。
