内容与形式的完美结合:《螺丝在拧紧》

Perfect Combination of Content and Form: The Turn of the Screw

螺丝在拧紧,鬼魂作怪耶?欲望作怪耶?这是历年来詹姆斯批评家所关注的问题。但是,很少有批评家关注詹姆斯利用本篇小说所要说明的问题———形式问题。论文通过对本部小说地解读,回答了是鬼魂作怪抑或是欲望作怪的问题,并分析了造成这两种解读方式出现的原因———第一人称叙述———詹姆斯强烈反对的叙述方式,从另一个方面论证了詹姆斯提倡第三人称有限视角叙述的必要性。

In the Turn of the Screw, are ghosts making troubles or desires making troubles？ This is an issue Jamesian critics arguing for years. But few critics concern about the form problem which Henry James hoped to illustrate with this novel. Through close reading, this paper answers the question whether ghosts or desires make troubles, and analyzes the reason which produces the two ways of understanding--the first person narration--which James strongly opposed, from another aspect proving the necessity of James＇s advocation of the narration of the third person limited viewpoint.
