寂寞无人识——评《小城畸人》中的凯特·斯威夫特

A Distorted Character Caused by Human Alienation in the Modern Society——An Analysis of Winesburg,Ohio by Sherwood Anderson

《小城畸人》是美国现代作家舍伍德.安德森的代表作。作品描绘了伴随现代文明的人类的高度异化给人类本身带来的痛苦,这种心灵的隔离和异化使得他们成为众多的"畸人"形象。凯特.斯威夫特就是舍伍德.安德森笔下的众多畸人之一。她对生活的洞见,对爱与理解的追求使得她在小镇上苦苦的寻觅知音。但现代社会中人与人之间的隔离与异化使得她满腔的悲哀,失望和情欲无处诉说,成为寂寞无人识的现代社会荒原上的孤草。

Winesburg,Ohio is the masterpiece by Sherwood Anderson.The author depicts one after another distorted characters in the book.Kate Swift is one of the grotesque figures created by Sherwood Anderson.She has insight on life,has her own understanding and pursuit of love,which is what she is busy looking for.However,the solitude and alienation in the modern society make it impossible for her to find true love in this world,which makes her sad and upset,with all strong feeling kept to her own.Because no one understands other people,and they can not communicate successfully,so she is only a lonely beauty,but appreciated by nobody.
