本文从成长小说角度研究了美国黑人剧作家奥古斯特?威尔逊的最负盛誉的戏剧—?篱笆?。作者认为主人公特洛伊的成长综合包括了勇士精神的建立和家庭责任的承担两次重大觉醒以及逃避现实压力、从婚外情中求解脱的觉醒后的幻灭。受历史环境和社会约束的影响,特洛伊追求高贵的男子气概的梦想没有圆满实现,体现出“反成长”的特点。最后,本文借用文化理论探讨威尔逊如何在非洲裔美国人的宏大历史背景下融主人公的个人探索与集体觉醒、文化传承于一体并开拓美国成长小说新领域。 This paper studies the most prestigious drama - “Fence” of African-American playwright August Wilson from the perspective of the novel of growth. The author thinks that Troy’s heroic growth consists of two major awakenings, such as the establishment of the brave spirit and family responsibilities, as well as the disillusionment after escaping from the reality pressure and seeking relief from extra-marital affairs. Influenced by the historical environment and social constraints, Troy’s dream of pursuing noble masculinity has not been satisfactorily fulfilled, reflecting the “anti-growth” character. Finally, this article uses cultural theory to explore how Wilson, in the great historical background of African Americans, integrates personal exploration, collective awakening and cultural inheritance into one and opens up new fields of American growth novels.
