摘要拜厄特的《太阳的影子》通常被认为是一部讲述女性成长的小说,以太阳和影子的关系隐喻父亲和女儿之间压制与被压制的关系。本文在提出人物身体形象互文再现机制的基础上,分析了父亲身体形象和《圣经》中参孙身体形象之间的互文关系,以及由此引发的解读新路径。原型身体和当前文本中人物身体之间的渊源关系为两位人物在性格、思想和命运上的可比性提供了关键性细节暗示,展现了交叠于互文本间父亲形象的复杂性和变化性。小说在勾勒青年女性成长历程的同时,也关注着作家父亲的双重身份焦虑,给予其一定的性格发展空间。 It is generally believed that A. S. Byatt＇s first novel The Shadow of the Sun falls into the pattern a female Bildungsroman whose title suggests the tension between the father and the daughter as that between the sun and its shadow. Based on an intertextualized mechanism of characters＇ body imagery in Byatt＇ s fiction at large, the essay analyzes the father＇s body as an intertextualized image with that of Samson in the Bible and hence gives rise to a new interpretation of the father＇s personality and mentality as paralleled by those of Samson. Contrary to the conventional description of the father as a monolithic patriarchal oppressor, the figure is revealed to have moral complexity and character development. While charting the daughter＇s growth, the novel also concerns the father＇s anxiety over his dual identity as a father and a writer and hence leaves much room for his character development.
