摘要
女性形象在威廉•福克纳的著作中占据重要地位。在他的小说中，英语论文题目，福克纳塑造了许多生动鲜明、性格迥异的南方女性形象。自20世纪60年代以来，随着女性主义文学批评的兴起，福克纳的女性形象以及他对女性的态度成为批评界关注的焦点并引发了激烈的争论。一些批评家认为福克纳的女性形象趋于模式化，他们更多强调女性人物邪恶的一面及其破坏性的作用，英语论文，指责福克纳对女性怀有根深蒂固的偏见和厌恶；而另一些批评家则指出福克纳著作中的女性人物复杂生动，认为作者表现出了对女性的同情和尊重。本文以女性主义文学批评理论和福克纳文学略论理论为基础，通过重点略论福克纳两部重要小说《献给艾米莉的玫瑰》和《夕阳》中的女性形象，试图研讨福克纳创建的腐朽而美丽的女性角色以及他对女性矛盾的态度。
本文首先介绍了了福克纳及其著作，并简述国内外评论家对福克纳女性观的探讨以及本文的理论基础。其次，本文通过对福克纳著作中艾米莉和南希这两个女性形象的细致略论，以及对福克纳创建这两个经典人物的写作手法，试图研讨福克纳对女性形象的塑造手法以及他对女性怀有的既同情又蔑视、既尊重又困惑的复杂心态。

Abstract
In his fictional world, Faulkner created a quantity of Southern women characters who come from different classes and races and who possess distinctive personalities. With the flourishing of feminist literature criticism in the 1960s, female characters in Faulkner’s fiction and the author’s own attitudes towards women became the focus of critics and the great controversial debates were produced. Some critics, who emphasized the evil aspects of his women characters, accused Faulkner as a male chauvinist and even a misogynist. Other critics asserted that women in Faulkner’s works were full of individuality, creativity and rebellious spirit. They believed that Faulkner had expressed genuine sympathy and admiration for Southern women. Based on the feminist literary criticism and Faulkner’s literature criticism, the thesis intends to reinterpret Faulkner’s views on women through analyses of the representative female characters in A Rose for Emily and That Evening Sun.
Firstly, the present author gives a brief introduction to William Faulkner and the previous studies on Faulkner’s views women as well as the theoretic basis of the thesis. Secondly, the thesis makes through analyses of the representative female characters---Emily and Nancy and Faulkner’s writing skills on how he shaped the female characters in his fictions and further explores Faulkner’s attitudes towards women.
