论《我弥留之际》中本得仑家庭的解体

The Collapse of the Bundren Family in As I Lay Dying

《我弥留之际》是威廉.福克纳最优秀的作品之一。自出版以来,评论家们一直从不同的角度来解读它。该故事首先是一部家庭小说。在细读文本的基础上,透过文化研究和女性主义等视角研究本得伦家庭的解体,得出亲人之间相互孤立、家庭中心的缺失和家庭成员的精神危机是本得仑家庭解体的根源。通过本得伦家,福克纳旨在反映普遍的人类关系并探讨处在现代社会中的人类的普遍危机。

As I Lay Dying is one of William Faulkner＇s best works and since its publication, many critics have made arduous efforts to study it from different perspectives. It is a family novel. From the perspectives of cultural studies and feminism, it is conclu- ded that the collapse of the Bundren family lies in isolation, the absence of centers and the predicament of spiritual crisis Through the family, Faulkner aims at presenting human relations and exposing the problems of human existence in modem society.
