约翰.厄普代克声称在其小说《S.》中要试图改善女性形象并力图展示女主人公所取得的独立性。从女性主义视角分析文本,可以发现尽管女主人公萨拉逃离了家庭陷阱,有追求精神自由、经济平等和经济独立的意识,但是已经内化的父权思想使她潜意识里自始至终都有一种对男性及外部世界的依赖心理。从她在阿汉特避居地受骗的经历和她最终的生存状态来说,厄普代克并没有将女主人萨拉.沃思刻画成一位真正独立的女性。
John Updike claimed in his novel “S.” to try to improve the image of women and to show the independence of the heroine. Analyzing the text from the perspective of feminism, we can find that though heroine Sarah escaped the family trap and had the consciousness of pursuing spiritual freedom, economic equality and economic independence, the already internalized patriarchal ideology led her to subconsciously have an attitude toward men And the dependence of the outside world. From her experience of being cheated in her place of abode in Abhant and her final state of survival, Updike did not characterize the mistress Sarah Worth as a truly independent woman.
