Abstract: With Hamlet as the target text, this paper analyzes the female images in the play to investigate the real social status of female in England during the 16th and 17th century. It can be concluded that they are lack of identity and status in the society. They have no dependent thinking. They are the victims in male’s battle for authority. Together with the evidence of contemporary social environment, causes of their tragic fate are discussed. Through the analysis, female images in the play are better exposed, and real conditions of women in Shakespeare’s tine are revealed. It can be concluded that, in the 16th and 17th century Britain, a patriarchal society, though women were respected in a certain sense, they could not avoid the fate of being victims and male appendages.
Key words: Hamlet, female images, patriarchal society
摘要：本文以《哈姆雷特》为研究文本，从故事的情节入手，分析戏剧中两位女性真实的社会地位，思想独立性情况，分析得出她们是男权社会的牺牲品和附属品的实质。同时佐之对作家生平年代社会大环境的研究，探讨了她们悲剧命运产生的原因。两者相辅相成，以期更好的了解了作品中的女性形象，以及莎士比亚时代英国女性真实的社会地位状况，更好地了解到，尽管女性在社会中得到了一定程度的尊重，但是在仍以父权和夫权为权威的16、17世纪,妇女仍然难逃作为牺牲品和附属品的命运。
