向心与辐射:小说的艺术结构表述的人物心态及社会文化心理——《献给艾米莉的玫瑰》与《莎菲女士的日记》女主人公评析

CENTRIPETAL STRUCTURE AND RADIATING STRUCTURE:FIGURES′ MENTALITIES AND SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY EXPRESSED BY THE ARTISTIC STRUCTURE IN FICTION

小说的艺术结构有表达上的美学潜势。福克纳的《献给艾米莉的玫瑰》的艺术结构是向心式的 ;丁玲的《莎菲女士的日记》的艺术结构是辐射式的。这两种结构保证了小说在叙述中从人物关系、空间、时间诸方面或向中心人物集中 ,或从中心人物向外辐射 ,并都进入到人物的内心及内心心理活动的层次 ,很好地帮助了作者去刻画人物、描绘人物的心态 ,并且通过人物的心态反映了时代的、民族的。

Fiction′s artistic structure may have the aesthetic power of expression.The structure of A Rose for Emily is centripetal.The structure of Safei′s Diary is radiating.These structures may ensure success to the narration that the relationship of characters,space and time may be focused on the heroine or radiationg from the heroine.The structures naturally make us go into the heroines′ inner lives and mental behaviors which may deeply reflect the social and cultural psychology of the times,the nation,and the region of a country.
