安部公房短篇小说《红色的蚕茧》探析

An Analysis of Abe Kobo's Short Story Red Silkworm Cocoon

日本战后文学派的代表作家安部公房在小说《红色的蚕茧》中,揭示了资本主义社会制度的异化现象,人的存在的不合理性这种病态、畸形的社会现状。小说中的几个主要象征性事物:"无‘家’可归的‘我’"、"女人的‘笑’脸"、"手持棍棒的‘他’"、"红色的蚕茧"及"发现蚕茧的他和孩子的玩具箱",影射了战后的日本人对日本前途的迷茫、悲观绝望、孤独无助的普遍心理状态及人与人之间的虚伪和冷漠,影射了战后日本社会的种种不合理制度使人民的物质生活及精神生活都得不到保障,使人民处于更加悲惨的境地。

Abe Kobo, one of the most influential Japanese post-war writers exposes the alienation of the capitalist system and the irrational and morbid social conditions for the existence of human beings in his Red Silkworm Cocoon. The major symbolic figures in the story, the ＂homeless I＂, the ＂lady＇s smiling face＂, the ＂he holding a Rod＂, the ＂red silkworm cocoon＂, the ＂he who found the Red Silkworm Cocoon and his chil- dren＇s toy box＂ symbolize the Japanese people＇s bewilderment to the future of Japan after the war, and the desperateness and helplessness, as well as the hypocrisy and indifference among people. All these present the unfair social system which led to inability of protecting spiritual and material life of the Japanese people.
