摘要

自20世纪70年代开始，环境污染问题深受生态女性主义学者的重视，生态女性主义文学批评也随之发展。本文将以艾丽斯·芒罗的《恨，友谊，追求，爱情，婚姻》为研究文本，从文化生态女性主义视角进行探究，其中包括分析女性与自然的关系，父权制文化下的社会现状以及女性自我解放的历程。本文将从平淡片段来探寻该小说中人物丰富的内心世界,从社会及自然背景的介绍，人物对话分析及心理活动分析进行展开，旨在分析《恨，友谊，追求，爱情，婚姻》中的文化生态女性主义思想，研究女性跟自然之间的亲密关系，探究女性与自然共同受压制的根源以及寻求在父权社会中女性自我解放的方法，由此揭露社会中女性与男性，生态与社会，女性与自我之间的失衡。希望使读者更好地了解文化生态女性主义的文学价值。
