论《海浪》中瓦格纳式主导动机的借用与伍尔夫式人物塑造

On the Borrowing of Wagnerian Leitmotif and the Portrayal of Woolfian Characters in The Waves

作为大胆的实验家和革新者,弗吉尼亚.伍尔夫巧妙地将瓦格纳式主导动机变为人物塑造上行之有效的方法。在其最为艰深、也是最具挑战性的作品《海浪》中,伍尔夫塑造了六位伍尔夫式的人物,他们体现出了抽象的个性、六人合一的完整性和宏观共性。而这些独具匠心的人物的成功塑造与瓦格纳式主导动机的借用是分不开的。这一音乐手法不但恰如其分地突出了人物的特性、表达了思想或欲望以及揭示了心理感受、情感反应和情绪变化等,而且为整部小说营造了音乐之美。

As an adventurous experimentalist and innovationist,Virginia Woolf cleverly borrows Wagnerian leitmotif and makes it workable in characterization.The Waves,Woolf＇s most formidable and challenging works of art,presents six very Woolfian characters which take on the characteristics of abstract individual identity,oneness,and universality.In this novel,Wagnerian leitmotif technique serves perfectly to create the unique beauty of Woolfian characters.It not only provides them with special identifications,expresses some ideas or desires and reveals some emotional feelings,changes or responses etc.,but makes the novel bear musical beauty.
