永恒的旋律,永恒的回响——论福克纳小说中的《圣经》主题

Eternal Melody and Eternal Echo: On the Biblical Theme in Faulkner's Novels

福克纳作品的主题有南方旧家族的没落,白人与黑人的种族冲突,资本主义势力的入侵及上升等等,这些是他表面上的主题,笔者拟从《圣经》的角度对其作品主题进行研究。福克纳的每一部作品都弥漫着"失乐园"的哀歌、原罪的意识以及成长历程的悲歌,同人类生存的基本主题息息相关。

The themes in Faulkner's works often refer to the decadence of the old families in the south,the racial conflict between Blacks and Whites,and the appearance of capitalist forces.However,all these are just skin-deep.This article discusses the theme in Faulkner's works from Biblical perspective.Each of his novels permeates the elegy of lost paradise,the consciousness of original sin,and the dirge of prodigal son,which are closely linked to the basic theme of existence of human beings.
