不彻底的“顿悟”——试析《都柏林人》中的一位女性艺术形象依芙琳

Further "Epiphany" Is Desired——On the Female Image Eveline in Dubliners

分析了乔伊斯的小说《都柏林人》中的依芙琳这一女性形象,描述她在工作磨难、家庭重压、爱情诱惑、对未来憧憬下的种种煎熬、犹豫、向往、害怕、瘫痪和不彻底的“顿悟”表现,揭示了一位温柔可怜的女性形象。该形象颇具普遍意义,是天主教和英国殖民地统治下的都柏林精神瘫痪的表现。

This essay analyzes a female character——Eveline in Dubliners by James Joyce, and describes her sufferings from work and family life, and exhibits her longings for love and a promising future, thus presenting a tender, pitiful image of the girl whose ＂epiphany＂ is far from sufficient, and revealing the spiritual paralysis which is very pervasive in Dublin as well as the whole Ireland under the control of the Roman Catholic Church and the British colonial rule.
