大部份馬梅特的劇評家皆著重於馬梅特語言的使用，在劇本中對人際關係的處理，以及對美國商業價值觀敗壞的批判。對於資本主義，馬梅特劇本中一個重要的主題，劇評家卻一直沒有多加研究。因此，本論文打算以馬克思主義中的物化觀念來檢視馬梅特劇作中對資本主義的批判。我的主要論點是，馬梅特視資本主義為美國社會中一股物化人類意識與行為的非人性力量。在正式討論劇本之前，第一章先對西方馬克思主義中物化觀念的演變作一概括性的全面介紹。第二章開始討論在資本主義工作環境中人類本體的物化。本章打算探討在《湖船》、《房地產大亨》兩劇本中，人類在資本－官僚系統中的處境。第三章則研究《芝加哥性變態》中性與愛的匱乏。在這一章裡，我將從資本主義「工作人遊戲」意識形態中討論性關係的物化。第四章則主要研究《美國水牛》一劇中商品拜物教的現象。最後，藉由物化的討論，本論文將顯示，在馬梅特的眼中，資本主義已將美國變成一精神荒原；而物化則是其最主要的特徵。 / Most of Mamet's critics focus their study on Mamet's use of language, his treatment of human relations and the corrupted American business values. Capitalism, the central theme in Mamet's plays, has not yet attracted adequate critical attention. Therefore, the present study proposes to use the Marxist concept of reification to examine the role of capitalism in Mamet's dramatic world. My main argument posits that capitalism is conceived by Mamet as an inhuman power that reifies human consciousness and behavior in American society. The first chapter starts with an overview of the development of reification in Western Marxism, followed by a discussion of Mamet's treatment of capitalism. Chapter II deals with the reification of human identity in capitalist workplaces. This chapter intends to examine the conditions of human beings in the bureaucratic-capitalist system in Lakeboat and Glengarry Glen Ross. Chapter III is concerned with the unfulfillment of sex and love in Sexual Perversity in Chicago. In this section, I will use capitalist work/play ideology to explain the reification of sexual relationships in urban environment. Chapter IV concentrates on the phenomena of commodity fetishism in American Buffalo. Throughout the discussion, the thesis will show that, in the eyes of Mamet, capitalism has turned contemporary America to a spiritual wasteland, of which the phenomena of reification is the main characteristic.
