摘要
《献给爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》是20世纪伟大小说家福克纳最优秀的短篇小说之一,这篇小说题名为"献给爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花",但在小说中,通篇没有提到玫瑰花,也没有人献花给爱米丽。这谜一样的篇名似乎暗藏着福克纳的深意。这是种自我颠覆的方式,或者说也是一种自我首肯的方式,福克纳故意留此悬念引发人们去深思其背后的真正动机。因此解读"玫瑰"的寓意是理解全文的关键。文章从玫瑰的花与刺入手,从清教传统文化、南北差异、南北战争后的南方贵族等社会历史因素来解读"玫瑰"的隐喻。
A Rose for Emily is one of the greatest short stories of William Faulkner. Although the title of this short story is ＂A Rose for Emily＂, there is no mention of rose in the whole story. The mysterious tide seems to conceal the Faulkner＇ s profound meaning. By using such a self- subversion, or self- consent way,Faulkner leaves suspense for people to decode. Therefore,the symbolic meaning of rose is the key to understand the whole story. This paper aims to decode the connotations of rose from the historical and social elements like the putitan culture and the difference between the South and the North.
