婚姻暴力是两性关系中十分普遍的问题,其发生有社会历史原因与个体心理原因,并与女性独立意识成长密切相关。加拿大女作家艾丽丝·门罗在多则短篇小说中刻画了加拿大不同历史时期的婚姻暴力现象。她的作品揭示了在父权制度下婚姻暴力的产生原因、施暴者对受害者施加的肢体暴力与人格控制、婚姻暴力双方的心理依赖关系以及加拿大不同历史时期公众意志的介入对婚姻暴力双方的作用。本文分析门罗笔下女性意识在婚姻暴力中的成长历程,旨在揭示女性自我追寻的深层内涵。

英文摘要：

Marital violence,a prevalent problem in the spousal relationship,has its psychological,social and historical roots and is closely related to the issue of female consciousness.In her short stories ＂Runaway＂, ＂Dimensions＂, ＂Fathers＂, ＂Love of a Good Woman＂ and ＂ Meneseteung＂,Alice Munro traces marital violence in different periods of the Canadian history and explores its influence on her heroines.This article analyzes these stories to examine the abusive husbands＇ physical and mental violence against their wives and,moreover,investigate the role of social and legal institutions in helping both the victims and victimizers.Marital violence is a key factor in the patriarchal suppression of female independent consciousness,the analysis reveals,while the intervention of public institutions can effectively raise female consciousness and help women achieve independence.
