《美国牧歌》蕴涵的文化母题

On the Motif of The American Pastoral

在《美国牧歌》中罗斯解析了"父子冲突"这一犹太文化母题。与以往作品不同的是,冲突的焦点从对犹太传统的反叛转向了对美国价值观的背离。母题的内核超越了种族和身份,由狭隘走向普遍。

In American Pastoral（1997）,Philip Roth has explored the Jewish motif of conflict between father and son,which shifted from Seymour＇s betrayal of the Jewish tradition to Meredith＇s deviation from the American value.In such a novel which is different from his previous novels,Philip Roth has presented the core of motif that has surpassed the ethnicity and identity to a common sense.
