Graduation Thesis of Chongqing University 摘要

摘 要

《献给艾米莉的一朵玫瑰》是20世纪最重要的美国短篇小说之一。作者威廉·福克纳被认为是美国南方文学的代表。尽管许多文学评论已经认识到叙事技巧在这篇小说中所扮演的重要角色,并且通过马克·肖莱尔的新批评主义理论和其他相关叙事学理论探讨了该小说。但从具体的叙事技巧结合小说情节的探讨并不多，本论文将从小说的叙事技巧出发，探讨叙事技巧对读者造成的影响，并就此分析叙事技巧在主人公形象塑造和展现小说主题上的作用。论文包括五章。第一章是导论，分为三个部分：本论文的写作动机，重要意义以及阐述论文从叙事技巧着手分析该小说的合理性；第二章是文献综述。在这一章，作者将会对国内外对于《献给艾米丽的玫瑰》的评论做一个简要的探讨。第三章从叙事学的角度对作品进行分析，第四章分析叙事技巧对读者的影响以及它们对人物塑造和主题展现上的重要作用。第五章是结论。基于以上分析，论文将得出造成艾米丽悲剧的根源是清教统治下腐朽的社会传统。

Graduation Thesis of Chongqing University Abstract

Abstract

“A Rose for Emily” is generally viewed as one of the most important American short stories in 20th century. Its author William Faulkner is regarded as the representative of the southern literature of the United States. Although many literary critics have recognized that narrative techniques play an important role in this novel and interpreted it by means of Mark Schorer?s new criticism theory and other theories concerning narrative techniques, there are few studies in China interpreting this novel through combining narrative techniques and the plot of the story. The core aim of narrative techniques study is to discuss their influences on readers, and thus explain the effects they produce on the characterization of the heroine and theme development. The paper contains five chapters. Chapter One, the introduction, is divided into four parts: the significance and motivation of writing this paper, which show the power of “A Rose for Emily” as well as its writer and justifiability to employ narrative techniques in analyzing this short story. Chapter Two is the literature review. In this chapter, the author gives a brief survey of the critical works, both at home and abroad, on “A Rose for Emily”. Chapter Three is the analysis of the work from the perspective of narration. Chapter Four analyzes the narrative techniques? influences on readers and their effects on characterization and theme development. Chapter Five is the conclusion. Based on the analysis in the previous chapters, it can be concluded that the tragedy of Emily is made by the decayed puritanical ethic tradition.

Key words: William Faulkner, Anachronism, The first-person plural narrative, Stream of consciousness
