致艾米丽的玫瑰赏析.ppt

Whilliam.Faulkner A Rose for Emily 在这部小说中“约克纳帕塔法法世系”系列小说的图书式初见倪端。在小说中作者以时空穿越的写作手法与独特的叙事角度使这部小说成为短篇小说中的一支奇葩。 Faulkner’s attitude toward the southern “aristocratic” families that he wrote is ambiguous. Alongside his censure of their injustice to the African Americans, there is some indication of pity or sympathy. “A rose for Emily,” is a good index to the mixed feelings that his works reveal. Obstinate, asocial, out of step with the tenor of modern life, she lingers, when alive, as “monument” to a glory gone with wind, never to return. Yet she possesses a measure of dignity, a stature of tragic dimensions, which inspires wonder and admiration. 故事的叙事角度 We的口吻叙述故事 We 代表着小镇居民 倒叙与插叙 Emily is an embodiment of the south. The Yankee is an incarnation of the north The absurd murder symbolizes the conflict between the south and the north of America. 艾米丽谋杀情人的原因 她扭曲的性格 家族的传统价值观念 父亲的控制欲强 她对贵族的姓氏的认识不清 众所周知，玫瑰是爱情的象征。本文题目为A Rose for Emily，而本文中玫瑰却没有以真实的形态出现，那么我们会问？？？ Rose, as a symbol of love, may refer to the love between Emily and a northerner, yet it is used rather ironically in the way it is associated with decay and death in the story. * 初看起来，小说中具有哥特式的一切元素：颓败的宅院， 幽居的女人，哑然的仆人和死去40年的陈尸。然而福克纳无意于落入恐怖故事与侦探小说的俗套而是笔锋一转项我们展示了一位无法摆脱大势已去的南方社会传统价值观的艾米丽小姐的宿命悲剧--女主人公的怪癖而又傲慢自尊的一生。 *
