1. 研究目的与意义

Doris Lessinglikes cat very much. This book describes about several kinds of cats. It givesreaders a feeling that those cats are like people. Through studying the bookand related bibliographies, we can have a deep recognition of the imbalanced relationshipbetween human beings and nature. It has a theme that mankind are required tolive harmoniously with environment. Besides, most of those cats are female,alluding to women from the angle of ecofeminism. The author uses female cats toreveal the contemporary situation of women, which shows Doris#8217;s sympathy andcritical opinions towards women. Females should be independent and have theirown dignity to live in the society in order to establish a society of genderequality and a world that man and nature live equally. Therefore, I want tohave a detailed study of it to analyze its themes through ecocriticistperspective to show why the cat tale is very worthy reading.

2. 研究内容和预期目标

研究内容:

The correct relationship between human beings and nature: Throughdescribing people#8217;s attitudes towards cats and how they treat those littlecreatures, the author expresses an idea that Human beings should learn torespect nature and follow laws of nature instead of trying to have a abnormalcontrol over it. Protecting the environment is vital for us predators.

The humanrelations: It can be seen from the book that cats behave like human. It usescats#8217; world to indicate how people get along with others. Like cats, humanshave preference for someone else or have prejudice against each other. They areindifferent to each other. The alienation of human relations results to socialproblems and those unreasonable social patterns cause ecological crisis.

3. 国内外研究现状

Previous studies on this story at home:

Studies on theartistic writing technique used in this novel:Miu [缪爽] (2011)used defamiliarization theory toanalyzethe cat tale from three aspects including structure, language and narrativeperspective. The application of this theory brings readers to author#8217;s world,attracting their attention. The depiction is vivid and lively giving readers afeeling that they are watching how cats are treated and what the life of catsis like. By the application of defamiliarization, this novel gets deeper intoreaders#8217; hearts.

However, thebook emphasizes more on its ecological significance. Most researches focus onthis point.
