海上独语的多重叙事功能——解读《老人与海》

The Multi-level Narrative Function of the Monolog on the Sea: A Reading of The Old Man and the Sea

《老人与海》的故事情节围绕主人公在海上的单独捕鱼活动展开。这种叙事结构以主人公的独语为支点,构建起属于"一个人"的世界,以人与世界与自我的对立,反衬行动的意义,凸显人的生命价值在于维护心灵的尊严。本文的叙事学解读可以突破以往只重人物形象和主题的阅读思路,充分挖掘这部作品的哲学内涵。

the plot of The Old Man and the Sea is unfolded round the activity of an old man who is fishing on the sea.This narrative structure is supported by the monolog of the protagonist,constructing a world belong to ＂one man＂.It contrasts the significance of action by demonstrating the antagonism between the man and the world and his own self,highlighting that the value of a man＇s life is to defend the dignity of mind.This narrative reading may break through the traditional reading which only emphasizes on the figure and the theme,exploring more deeply to the philosophic connotations of this work.
