爱的缺失与父权制度下的人性异化——伊恩·班克斯《捕蜂器》解读

Loss of Love and the Dissimilation of Human Nature in the Patriarchal System——On The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

被《时代》周刊评为"英国同时代作家中最富有想象力的小说家"伊恩.班克斯在其1984年出版的处女作《捕蜂器》里以极为丰富的想象力和灰色的幽默塑造了性格孤僻、性情冷漠、怪异的父子二人。通过对人性异化的父子的描写,揭示了在父权制度下人与社会、人与人及人与自我的尖锐矛盾,以及由此产生的精神创伤和扭曲变态,反映了作家反对人性异化、追求人性复归的强烈愿望。

Iain Banks,who is reviewed by Times as 'the most imaginative British novelist among writers of his generation',in his debut novel The Wasp Factory published in 1984,creates with brilliant imagination and grey humor,two unsociable,indifferent and weird men.Through the portraiture of the father and his son whose human nature has been dissimilated,Banks wants to reveal the sharp contradiction between man and society,man and man,and man and himself in the patriarchal system and the trauma,distortion and abnormality which result thereafter.This novel reflects the strong wish of the novelist against the dissimilation of human nature and hopes for the return of human nature.
