“主试”与“被试”——马尔克斯《巨翅老人》叙事结构分析

Experimenter and subject——Analysis of the narrative structure of the Old Man with Giant Wings by Milks

对《巨翅老人》叙事结构的解读,是把握该小说思想内涵的关键所在。小说中叙事者?巨翅老人与众人之间的关系可比喻为实验心理学中主试?实验设计?被试之间的关系。巨翅老人与蜘蛛女孩是自变量,在叙事结构中地位十分重要,但却不是作家要表现的主要对象,被试众人的因变量才是作家要观照?反映的主要对象,被试才是主要的角色。

The interpretation of the narrative structure of Old Man with Giant Wings refers to the core of the novel. The narrator and the relationship between the old man with giant wings and the public can be taken as the relationship between the experimenter, experiment design, and subject. The independent variables-the old man with giant wings and spider girl, who hold important positions in the structure, are not pinpointed.
