摘要
2001年诺贝尔文学奖得主维.斯.奈保尔的《模仿者》中,主人翁拉夫尔.辛格作为印度移民后裔成长于有许多不同种族混居的英国前殖民地——岛国伊萨贝拉;为获得自身身份认同,他一生对曾经的宗主国进行朝圣般的膜拜和模仿。基于新批评的文本细读,从小说语言层面上,对辛格的一生"朝圣"旅程及其失败因素进行"含混""悖论"与"反讽"式的探讨。
Ralph Singh,the hero in The Mimic Men by Nobel Prize winner V.S.Naipaul,is an Indian descendant grown up with different ethnic groups in Isabella,the former colony of the UK.For his identification,Ralph Singh worshipped and mimicked the former metropolitan state all his life,but ended in failure and survived in the ＂empty London lonely＂.Through close reading,this paper aims to dig out the reasons of his pilgrimage failure by dealing with the ＂ambiguity＂,＂irony＂ and ＂paradox＂ at the language level of the novel.
