《百舌鸟之死》的儿童视角叙事

On To Kill a Mockingbird from Children’s Perspective

在作者哈珀.李的精心设计下,小说以儿童作为文本的叙述者,用儿童的眼光去观察和描述呈现在他们眼前是真实世界,从而达到了意想不到的艺术效果。儿童的天真与单纯恰恰对比反映出了成人世界中人性的罪恶,根深蒂固的种族歧视与社会等级的虚伪,从而进一步深化了小说的主题。

In To Kill a Mockingbird,Harper Lee takes a child as the narrator of the story.By using children’s eyes to observe and describe the real world,the novel therefore achieves an unexpected artistic effect.Children’s naivety and innocence is precisely in sharp contrast to the good and evil human nature in adult world,which reflects the deep-rooted racial discrimination and hypocrisy of social hierarchy and consequently deepens the theme of the novel.
