《大师和玛格丽特》的象征与神话叙述

The Symbolic and Mythic Narrative of Master and Margaret

布尔加科夫的《大师和玛格丽特》的创作手法在一定程度上接近于西方现代主义小说,其中一个重要的特征就是该小说中的象征与神话叙述。小说中贯穿全文的弥散性、渗透性象征体系对于读者理解小说主旨具有重要意义;而作者通过象征的体系化、结构的对称化所形成的神话叙述更赋予了作品深刻的哲理内涵。小说在叙述方式上由象征而神话,又由神话而象征,象征与神话相互交织,密不可分,共同体现出象征与神话的叙述特征。

To some extent, the creative approaches of Master and Margaret bare some similar features to those of the Western modernistic novels, which is manifested in its symbolic and mythic narrative. The scattered but penetrating symbolic system plays an important role in the readers＇ comprehension of the theme of the novel, On the other hand, the myth, derived from the systematic symbols and the symmetric structure, endowed the works with profound philosophical connotation. In the novel, symbols transformed into myth and myth again turned into a symbol. Interwoven and inseparable, they demonstrated the narrative features of the novel.
