命归何处——《挪威的森林》文化意蕴之阐释

Where Would Their Lives Go——Exploration on Cultural Connation of Norwegian Wood

村上春树的小说《挪威的森林》涉及的是青春期的性与爱及生与死的问题。作品呈示出这样一种文化意蕴:生存冲动自在地表现为性,自为地表现为爱。性与爱在与死亡本能的抗争中激溅飞扬。生,或是死,这是一个问题。它要求每一个生者进行自我探索和自我选择。找不到生存的意义便会失去生命的依托而坠入死亡的深渊。这部小说中的年轻人似乎都没有找到人生意义,没有确立人生信念,在生存价值这个问题上都付诸阙如。但他们都经历了人生的困惑,都经过了人生的探索。或许答案本身是无所谓的。重要的是:只要活着,就要探索,就要寻求,就要进取,就不能放弃。这应该就是生命的真义、生存的真义。

Haruki Murakami＇s novel Norwegian Wood involved the issues about sex and love as well as life and death, which expounded a cultural connation, i.e. the desire to existence expressed itself in a form of sex instinctively and of love unconsciously. Sex and love struggle eommpetitively with death instinct. To be or not to be,that is a question. It requires every living person to make self-exploration and self--choice. Only finding the meaning of life can a person establish the value of life and tend to choose to live,otherwise he would lose the support of living and fall into the deep trap of death. It seemed that the youngsters in the novel didn＇t find the meaning of life, but they all went through the complexion of life and the exploration of living. Maybe the answer itself is not important ,More important is that to live means seeking and advancing rather than giving up ,this is the essence of life and living.
