And the most appropriate example happens in the restaurant in Act Two. Subject to his dismissal, Willy es to the arranged rendezvous to meet his sons and wishes to hear good news that Biff has lent some cash, which, in fact, Biff has failed to borrow. When Biff tries to console him and to let him realize that Success is not a necessity, Willy turns down Biff?s advice and blames everything on himself. At the same time, the day when young Biff flunked math and went to him recurs to him. It is 。 monotonous and soft tunes belongs to Linda and when the lustful melody plays on, the audience are aware of the woman?s entrance. In the end, music in this play is endowed with strongly dynamic movements and, in a sense, suggests the tracks of characters? mental activities. For instance, the scene of Willy?s suicide goes as follows: Willy(uttering a gasp of fear, whirling about as if to quiet her): “Sh! (He turns around as if to find his way。 and the use of illusion to embody man?s subconsciousness. Therefore, the thesis tries to study the play from three aspects: stage design, characterization and plotting. In Chapter 1, the thesis analyses the stage settings which cross the boundaries of time and space, the stage lighting creating a sense of unreality, the artful exercise of music and the shifts of lighting colors to indicate different characters and situations. In Chapter 2, it discusses Arthur Miller?s masterful approach to construct Willy and Ben?s character features from two perspectives: multiple personal disorder and dramatic fantasy. The third chapter puts its emphasis on his virtuosity in the use of spatiotemporal changes and psychological externalization. Under a close scrutiny, the study is intended to bring to the full play the eternal enchantment of Death of a Salesman. 5 Chapter 1 Stage Design As one of the most prominent American playwrights in the 20th century, Arthur Miller is renowned in the literary circle for his plays dealing with social and moral problems. His masterpiece, Death of a Salesman, is reputed as the epitome of classic American dramas in the history of dramatic position, a play which confines itself to exposing business corruption, domestic disputes, collapse of citizen morality, or the illusional American Dream. According to J. T. Nourse, Miller has skillfully bined the merits of Henrik Ibsen?s plays, Expressionism and Experimentalism, so that his plays boast wellconstructed and pact plots, unrestrained and unlimited flows of stream of consciousness and psychological analysis, on account of which he imprints his surpassing and skillful stage design on the audience?s minds. As an arena to mount a play, the stage plays an important role in a dramatic performance. Generally speaking, a stage functions as follows: providing space for anizing and presenting dialogues and actions, serving as a melieu for their recurrence and demonstrating the underlying sense and significance in them. In addition, one stage consists of a platform, stage scenery, stage properties, lighting and so on. The interplay of those interlocking elements, acting as a whole, influences the charm and charisma of plays. Stage Scenery In Death of a Salesman mingle the present reality, the reminiscence of the past and Willy?s hallucinatory experiences. Still, this kind of temporal and spatial crisscross expands the limited stage space to a boundless range, instead of bringing to it a sense of confusion and chaos. 6 In Act One, Miller gives a detailed introduction to the stage scenery: “The entire setting is wholly or, in some places, partially transparent. The roofline of the house is onedimensional。通過以上三方面的研究，本文從表現(xiàn)主義的角度解讀了《推銷員之死》的藝術(shù)魅力。其關(guān)注焦點(diǎn)始終是生活在美國社會(huì)并與之斗爭(zhēng)的個(gè)人。 stage design。 5 成果的理論或?qū)嶋H價(jià)值 成果富有一定的理論深度和實(shí)際運(yùn)用價(jià)值 5 外文資料翻譯 10% 外文應(yīng)用能力 外文文獻(xiàn)資料與論文相近或相關(guān)，譯文漢字?jǐn)?shù)為 1500－ 2020字，體現(xiàn)一定的外語水平 10 總成績： 評(píng)定等級(jí)： 指導(dǎo)教師評(píng)審意見： 指導(dǎo)教師簽名： 說明：評(píng)定成績分為優(yōu)秀、良好、中等、及格、不及格五個(gè)等級(jí)，總成績 90— 100 分記為優(yōu)秀， 80— 89 分記為良好， 70— 79 分記為中等， 60— 69 分記為及格， 60 分以下記為不及格。 stage design。通過以上三方面的研究，本文從表現(xiàn)主義的角度解讀了《推銷員之死》的藝術(shù)魅力。一些評(píng)論家從語言，結(jié)構(gòu)方面研究米勒在《推銷員之死》中的表現(xiàn)主義，而本文試從舞臺(tái)設(shè)計(jì)、人物塑造、情節(jié)安排三個(gè)方面探討其表現(xiàn)主義手法。米勒是美國最杰出的戲劇大師之一，被譽(yù)為“美國戲劇的良心”，“美國的易卜生”。 完成期限和采取的主要措施： 完成期限： 1. ～ 分析原著，查找并研讀資料 2. 完成開題報(bào)告 ,擬定提綱 3. 完成第一稿 4. 月初 完成第二稿 5. 月底 完成第三稿 6. 定稿 主要措施 :查詢中國知網(wǎng)、 ProQuest 等論文數(shù)據(jù)庫；去圖書館和資料室查資料；閱讀并分析原著；請(qǐng)教指導(dǎo)老師意見；和同學(xué)相互討論；不斷修改與提高。本文試圖通過以上三方面的研究來分析阿瑟本文緒論介紹阿瑟米勒永恒的藝術(shù)魅力。Paul Lieberman 指出，該劇“呈現(xiàn)在大眾面前的不僅僅是一件藝術(shù)品，還是衡量國家及其人民的經(jīng)濟(jì)、家庭、價(jià)值觀和夢(mèng)想的尺度”。米勒受到歧視的猶太人身份使其始終以局外人之姿清醒地旁觀美國主流文化。本人完全意識(shí)到本聲明的法律結(jié)果由本人承擔(dān)。對(duì)本文的研究做出重要貢獻(xiàn)的個(gè)人和集體均已在文中以明確方式標(biāo)明。米勒關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)始終是身處美國社會(huì)并與之斗爭(zhēng)的個(gè)人，絕大部分作品都在闡述人物生活中所遭遇的問題。 Time 曾指出，很多新近創(chuàng)作的戲劇“因得益于，至少是部分得益于《推銷員之死》”。而本文從表現(xiàn)主義角度出發(fā)，較系統(tǒng)地闡述其舞臺(tái)設(shè)計(jì)、人物塑造、情節(jié)設(shè)計(jì)三個(gè)方面的策略技巧，從而對(duì)《推銷員之死》進(jìn)行較為全面的分析，以客觀地認(rèn)識(shí)阿瑟《推銷員之死》是其最典型和最具影響力的一篇，使其成為享譽(yù)國際的作家。在舞臺(tái)設(shè)計(jì)一章中，本文分析其打破時(shí)空界限的舞臺(tái)布景、創(chuàng)造出非現(xiàn)實(shí)感的舞臺(tái)燈光、音樂的巧妙運(yùn)用及色彩變換，認(rèn)為這些技巧展現(xiàn)了不同的人物性格及情勢(shì)；在人物塑造一章中，本文通過 多重人格障礙及舞臺(tái)想象兩個(gè)方面闡釋作者對(duì)主人公威利及夢(mèng)幻人物本的塑造；在情節(jié)設(shè)計(jì)一章中，本文重點(diǎn)研究其精湛的時(shí)空轉(zhuǎn)換技巧和心理外化的表現(xiàn)手段。查閱相關(guān)文獻(xiàn)，研究相關(guān)學(xué)者的學(xué)術(shù)成果，結(jié)合自己的相關(guān)研究得出觀點(diǎn)和看法；利用 CNKI、 ProQuest數(shù)據(jù)庫進(jìn)行定性及定量研究，對(duì)表現(xiàn)主義、《 推銷員之死》等關(guān)鍵詞的釋義進(jìn)行分類統(tǒng)計(jì)、從而找到突破點(diǎn)。 Xia, Chunhong.
