真实与虚幻:《达洛维夫人》中的镜像意象

Reality and Fantasy:the Mirror Images in Mrs.Dalloway

《达洛维夫人》是弗吉尼亚.伍尔夫实验各种独特的写作技巧的首次成功尝试。尽管小说人物貌似不相干,结构松散,但是克拉丽莎与塞普蒂莫斯紧密联系在一起。他们的语言,他们各自的内心独白如同相互在镜中的影像。通过反衬与对照,他们对于生死的律动的意识之流穿越了不同的时间和空间,使得他们从某些方面相互牵连,无法分割,从而证明他们事实上是一体的。

Mrs. Dalloway represents Virginia Woolf＇s first successful attempt to produce a novel in her own distinctive narrative style. It is the artistic techniques that afford Mrs. Dalloway its remarkable power and poignancy. This thesis interprets Mrs. Dalloway from a special perspective to throw some light on the juxtaposed characters, Clarissa and Septimus, in the novel so as to reveal its double plots and cohesion. Through foiling and juxtaposition, their rhythmic waves of consciousness flowing through the hours and places about life and death fulfill the double plots of the novel. They seem to rise out of one another. Their languages and their respective interior monologues seem, at one level, to be the mirror image of each other. Also, the novel＇s cohesion is derived from their intermingled life as doubling.
