从《人鼠之间》中人物的精神分析看美国梦的幻灭(9200字)                           
摘  要:面对20世纪人类的社会危机和精神危机,约翰•斯坦贝克多部作品中的人物只有借助编织无尽的梦想来探寻在这种生存环境中的自我拯救之路。虽然这些在我们看来并不是拯救他们的根本良方,但是剧中人只能以这种看似逃避的方法拯救自己。这也正凸现出在当时的美国社会,普通民众是无力改变现实的,一切的探寻拯救之路也只是徒劳。本文通过剖析斯坦贝克作品《人鼠之间》中人物精神和“美国梦”的破灭揭示20世纪人类社会危机、精神危机背景下“美国梦”破灭的必然,从而得出“美国梦”的破灭不仅是美国普通大众的悲哀,更是整个美国社会的悲剧的结论。

On Disillusionment of
American Dream by Analyzing the
Characters’ Spiritual Journey in Of Mice and Men
Abstract: Facing the social crisis and spiritual crisis of the twentieth century, the characters in many plays written by John Steinbeck can do nothing but weave the endless dreams to seek their self-salvation in that society. Although those measures are not the fundamental solution to their problems, they are the unique outlet to save themselves. All these indicate that in the then American society, the common masses had no ability or possibility to change the reality and all their seeming measures for salvation were useless. The paper, through analyzing the spiritual journey of the characters in Steinbeck’s plays of Of Mice and Men and their broken American Dream, reveals the inevitability of the broken American Dream in the background of the social crisis and the spiritual crisis in the 20th century. Therefore, the paper concludes that the disillusion of American Dream is not merely the sadness of the ordinary Americans but also the tragedy of the whole American society.

Introduction
John Steinbeck (1902-1968), as a Nobel Prize laureate for literature, is generally considered as one of the most important American writers in the 20th century. Steinbeck produced nearly twenty novels during his lifetime. Although California, his home state, is the basic setting for most of his books, Steinbeck’s topics in writing range from culture, politics, war, and science to society, and so on. These works win the popularity from wide audiences and attract the enthusiasm of quite a few critics.
