论小说《吉姆爷》多视角下的人性探索

Exploration of Lord Jim's Human Nature from the Multiple Points of View

约瑟夫.康拉德是二十世纪英国文坛最伟大的实验小说家之一,在他的诸多作品中,往往把艺术创新和人物的道德发现完美的结合起来,小说《吉姆爷》就是其代表作之一。本文试从两个方面说明康拉德在《吉姆爷》中所运用的叙事技巧:(一)以作者作为叙述者的全知视角;(二)以故事中多个人物作为叙述者的有限视角,从而成功地从不同层面、多个视角展现了主人公的内心世界,深层次地揭示了人的天性及道德本质。

Conrad is one of the greatest experimental novelists of the twentieth century.He focuses on the combination of moral exploration and technical renovation in his works.The present paper attempts to discuss the multiple points of view applied in the novel from two aspects: one is the omniscient point of view from the writer,the other is the multiple points of view from the characters of the story,which succeeds in showing the hero's inner world and exploring human nature.
