《德伯维尔家的苔丝》中的原型意象

The Archetypal Images in Tess of the d' Urbervilles

就文学而言,原型就是文学作品中典型的或反复出现的意象,是文学中可交际的单位。托玛斯·哈代在其小说《苔丝》中使用了大量的原型意象,其中一些原型意象如"太阳"、"太阳光"和"黑暗"等贯穿小说始末,且具有增强小说神秘感和悲剧氛围、凸现小说主题、揭示作者悲剧性世界观的作用。

Literarily, archetypes refer to the typical or recurring images in literary works. They are communicable units in literature, including themes, characters, structures, plots, images and symbols, and so on. Thomas Hardy uses abundant archetypal images in Tess, some of which, such as those of 'the sun', 'sunlight', and 'darkness', repeatedly appear in the novel and have the function of helping to offer the novel a sense of mystery, strengthen the tragic atmosphere, highlight the themes and reflect the author's tragic outlook of the world.
