《奇境》人物心理聚焦的转换

Shifts of Characters’ Inner Mind Focalization in Wonderland

本文运用叙述学聚焦这一叙事技巧来揭示人物希尔达的人格分裂和人物海伦的自我丧失。欧茨通过人称代词的转换,完成人物心理聚焦的首次转换。并通过第一人称和第三人称视角的相互转换,以及叙述者声音与人物声音的混淆,形象地再现了人物希尔达人格的分裂。再次,作者通过大量使用心理感官词语"感到""想到""觉得"等以及引入新的叙事声音,再次转换人物的心理聚焦,重现了海伦自我丧失的过程。两次聚焦转换适时地拓宽,又及时地限制了读者的阅读视野,造成了叙事的悬念。

This essy discloses the psychological segregation of Hilda and the loss of self of Hellen from the perspective of narratology. First, Oates completes the shift of the inner mind focalization from Jessey to Hilda in the way of shifts of personal pronouns, and the psychological segregation of Hilda is presented through the interchange between the first person perspective and the third person perspective,and the confusion of narrator＇ s voice and the charater＇ s voice visualizes this segregation. Second,lots of sensory verbs such as ＂feel＂, ＂think＂, or ＂realize＂ are used and a new narrative voice is introduced, so that the loss of Hellen＇ s self is revisioned. Two times of shifts can broaden, and meanwhile narrow down readers＇ horizon of reading and the narrative tension is created.
