摘 要
薇拉·凯瑟以其擅长描写美国西部边疆与拓荒题材的小说而闻名于世,她的
《啊,拓荒者!》是她比较著名的一部作品。小说中的女主人公亚历山德拉被描写
成为一个高挑、健壮、精明能干的形象,宛如一个典型的美国西部牛仔式的人物,
是凯瑟笔下一个反传统的女性形象,但是随着故事情节的变化和发展,她的性格
特征逐渐发展变化,实现了和谐人格的发展。本质上来讲这一和谐人格的发展实
现过程是由不完整的双性同体性格发展为完整的双性同体性格。表现在小说中就
是她与周围其他人和自然的关系。按照双性同体理论,每个人的身上都具有男性
气质特征和女性气质特征,完整的双性同体特征就是一个人身上的女性特质和男
性特质达到了合理的平衡与和谐统一。小说中女主人公的和谐人格特征通过两方
面表现出来:一方面是她与其他人物的和谐关系; 另一方那个面就是她对自然和
女性的认同。
因此,本论文采用生态女性主义和双性同体理论来分析女主人公从不和谐人
格到和谐人格的发展变化过程。
在论文的第一章,着重分析了女主人公的不和谐人格。主要表现在她对女性
气质特征的疏远和压迫,显著强势的男性特征以及对待自然的态度。具体表现在
她的衣着、与父母的关系和对自然的态度。第二章讲述了由不和谐人格到和谐人
格的转变过程。具体主要论述她逐渐对自然和女性开始认同。第三章讲述女主人
公和谐人格是通过她对女性自我和自然的认同回归实现的。
通过这三章的论述得出本论文的结论是女主人公亚历山德拉的性格经历了由
不和谐状态到和谐状态的转变。

ABSTRACT
Willa Cather is famous for her unique skills in portraying American western
borders and pioneering female characters in her novels. O Pioneers! is one of her
famous representative works. The heroine, Alexandra, who is designed as an
anti-traditional woman in the novel, is portrayed as a tall, robust, and capable image,
just like a typical American-style cowboy. As the story goes on, her character gradually
achieves a harmonious state. This process of achieving a harmonious character in
essence is the change from incomplete to complete androgynous character. In the novel,
this changing process is manifested in the heroine’s relationship with other characters
and her relationship with nature. According to the theory of androgyny, there exist both
femininity and masculinity in a person’s character. The complete androgynous character
is a kind of state in which the feminine and masculine characteristics of a person
achieve a reasonable balance and harmony. The heroine’s harmonious character is
revealed in two aspects: one is her harmonious relationship with the other characters in
the novel, and the other is the identification with nature and her femininity.
Therefore, this paper uses the approach of eco-feminism and the theory of
androgyny to analyze the changing process of the heroine’s character from
inharmonious to harmonious state in O Pioneers!.
In the first chapter, the paper introduces the heroine’s inharmonious character
which is manifested mainly from the aspects of Alexandra’s estrangement and
oppression of femininity, strong masculinity and the attitude to nature. In details, her
character and temperament, dressing, the relation with and attitude to her father, mother
and nature are to be analyzed. Chapter two illustrates the transition of the heroine’s
character from inharmonious state to harmonious state. In this chapter, her beginning
identification with femininity and the recognition of nature are analyzed to exemplify
the transition process. In chapter three, the realization of Alexandra’s harmonious
character is illustrated through her return to nature and the land, and the return to her
iv
female self.
Through these three chapters illustration, the paper comes to the conclusion that
the heroine Alexandra’s character experiences a transition from inharmonious state to
harmonious state.
