鲁镇与《祝福》的叙事建构

The Town of Luzhen and the Narrative Construction of the Novel Blessing

《祝福》中的鲁镇,被鲁迅设置为一个民俗文化空间,这一民俗文化的核心是"祝福"文化,它的内在规定性决定了它是"不祥、不洁"的寡妇祥林嫂的对立力量,因此,鲁镇对祥林嫂的拒斥与祥林嫂为了生活的谋求进入就构成了《祝福》叙事的深层动机,这也是小说的内在结构和逻辑张力所在。而祥林嫂无法掌握自己的命运,被动地变成鲁镇人眼中的"不祥、不洁"之人,则加强了这篇小说的悲剧意义和思想力度。

In the novel of Blessing, the town of Luzhen is designed, by the writer Luxun, as a symbol of Chinese folk culture with the core concept of blessing. This concept is inherently incompatible with the image of Xianglin Sao, an ＂ominous, unclean＂ widow. Therefore, the rejection of Xianglin Sao by the town＇s inhabitants and her attempting integration for the sake of living together compose the deep narrative motive, the internal structure and the logical tension of the whole story. Also, the image of Xianglin Sao, who is unable to control her own fate and becomes the ＂ominous, unclean＂ person in the eyes of Luzhen＇ s inhabitants, strengthens the tragic sense as well as the thought significance of this novel.
