摘要

摘要Aphra Behn是一位获得空前成功的复辟剧作家，她靠笔生活，因此不得不顺应当时的其他文学作品（主要由男性创作）：以放荡、粗俗道德、放荡和寻财为主角的喜剧。Behn以这种方式写作，但又为她的作品增添了讽刺色彩，她扮演了一个妓女Angellica Bianca（实际上是年长富人的一个非常淑女的伴侣）。矛盾的是，安吉利卡被认为是演员中最正直、最慷慨的人；可悲的是，她相信誓言，剧中的两面派流浪者威尔摩尔一遇到一个带着大笔财富的处女，就无情而迅速地治愈了她。通过这一点，贝恩为一部表面上的喜剧引入了一股黑暗的暗流。本文对阿芙拉·贝恩精心塑造的妓女形象表示敬意。

A prostitute as the unsung heroine in Aphra Behn’s The Rover

Abstract Aphra Behn, a Restoration playwright of unprecedented success, lived by her pen and therefore was obliged to conform to the other literary production of that time (written mostly by men): comedies featuring libertines, coarse morals, debauchery and fortune-hunting protagonists. Behn wrote in this manner, yet adding a satirical spin to her work, by presenting the character of Angellica Bianca, a prostitute (actually a very ladylike companion to older wealthy men). Paradoxically, Angellica is presented as the most upright and generous person among the cast; lamentably, she believes in oaths, of which Wilmore, the double-dealing eponymous rover of the play, cures her mercilessly and swiftly, as soon as he meets a virgin, who comes with a large fortune attached. By this, Behn introduces a dark undercurrent to an ostensibly comic play. This paper pays homage to the elaborate ways Aphra Behn employed to present a prostitute as the most intriguing character of the play.
