Sophie’s choice is one of the greatest novels written by William Styron, a famous American novelist in the 20th century. The paper presents an interpretation of the the novel from the perspective of Psychological Trauma, from the scenes of Auschwitz Concentration Camp and postwar American life, combining with the feminism to focus on the influence of the war and Patriarchal cage on female (taking the heroine Sophie as an example).The paper analyzes the influence of Psychological Trauma on Sophie by introducing the Psychological Trauma Theory and the cause of Sophie’s Psychological Trauma --- Auschwitz Concentration Camp and Patriarchal cage. Through research, this paper not only offers convenience to other researchers, but also has certain social and realistic significance in helping people deal with traumas in the past and present, thus avoiding such tragedy happening again.
