　　After two years' study for British and America Literature, and another half year's writing,this thesis was finally accomplished. Without of the help of many people,it could never becompleted, thus here I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards them.

　　First and foremost, I owe my heartfelt thanks to my distinguished and cordial supervisor,Professor Wang Zhiqin, who influenced me with his insightful ideas and meaningfulinspirations, guided me with practical academic advice and feasible instructions,andenlightened me while I was confused during the writing procedure. His thought-provokingcomments and patiently encouragements are indispensable for my accomplishment of thisthesis. My selection of Foucault's power theory as the theoretical framework is deeplymotivated by his profound knowledge. Without his dedicated assistance and insightfulsupervision, this thesis would have gone nowhere.

　　Then,my faithful appreciation also goes to the prestigious and distinguished teachers ofForeign Language School in East China University of Science and Technology, Professor YanJinglan, Professor Shao Zhihong, and Professor Wang Jianguo, whose splendid anddiversified lectures have empowered me with solid language capability and upright academicattitude.

　　Ultimately, thanks go to my parents who are my mentor and guardian from the verybeginning in primary school. Without their refined education and care,I could never grow upin such a joyous and cozy environment nor have the courage to confront any obstacles on myway to success.
