An archetypal interpretation of the Perverted relations between the father and sons in Buried Child 对《被埋葬的孩子》中畸形父子关系的原型解读 摘要 山姆谢泼德擅长将个人生活经历写入其家庭剧，描写家庭中常见的矛盾，而且延续古希腊悲剧题材，将古希腊神话，圣经故事和西方文学中反复出现的原型主题运用到创作中，表达严肃的主题。其家庭三部曲之一《被埋葬的孩子》里就到处是男人间的战争，充斥着父亲对儿子的提防和儿子对父亲的僭越。本文以原型理论为依据，以父亲与儿子们各自鲜明的形象和怪诞的举止为切入点，分析贯穿戏剧始终的死亡——再生主题以及仪式化现象，从而解读父子间畸形关系的渊源所在。 关键词：被埋葬的孩子；原型理论；死亡再生主题；仪式化；父子关系 Abstract Sam Shepard prefers to integrate his own life experiences into his family plays, following the themes of Greek tragedies, with motifs recurring in Greek mythologies or Biblical stories, as well as expressing serious themes.
