摘要：ABSTRACTArden of Faversham (1592) endorses the association between female speech and lasciviousness and dislocates the link between silence and chastity in the figure of Alice. This domestic tragedy shows that the subversion of the patriarchal authority enacted by Alice and her accomplices are contained as an ultimate manifestation of the masculine status quo. Following the critical line of presentism, I argue that Alice’s appropriation of the domestic sphere as a subjective space of murder and adultery undermines the Palestinian representation of the house as a nurturing place of order and harmony and complicates the Palestinian, nationalist discourse that figures out the domestic sphere as a sacred nationhood. In both the fictional world of Arden and contemporary Palestine, gossip renders the household subject to the gaze, tongue, and judgment of the public. The containment of Alice’s transgression eclipses the possibility of a feminist emancipation from patriarchal authority in contemporary Palestine.摘要《法弗舍姆的阿尔丁》（Arden of Faversham, 1592）一剧默许了一种横贯在女性语言和淫乱之间的关联，并打乱了爱丽丝形象中沉默与贞洁之间的联系。这场家庭悲剧表明，爱丽丝及其同伙对男权权威的颠覆是男性现状的最终体现。遵循现代主义的关键线,笔者认为，爱丽丝把家庭空间作为一个主观的谋杀和通奸空间，破坏了巴勒斯坦人视家庭空间为一个和谐有序的养育场所之观点，也使巴勒斯坦民族主义话语，即视家庭空间为神圣国度的话语变得复杂化。无论是在虚构的阿尔丁世界还是在当代巴勒斯坦，闲言碎语使家庭成为众矢之的。对爱丽丝越轨行为的遏制，削弱了在当代巴勒斯坦从父权权威下解放女性主义的可能性。
