摘要
《托蒂亚平地》使斯坦贝克获得小说创作上的首次成功。该书深受托马斯·马洛礼的《亚瑟王传奇》的影响,记录了加州蒙特雷城郊帕沙诺兄弟的悲喜剧。这部作品在章节构架和情节铺陈等方面深受《亚瑟王传奇》的影响,本文透过故事情节诠释作家引入作品的"群体"主题,进而解析作家在小说中描述的帕沙诺兄弟的美国梦和其实现所面临的威胁。
Tortilla Flat was Steinbeck＇ s first critical and commercial success, which told a story of Monterey paisanos. The author of this article defines the concept of ＂Phalanx＂, and illustrates Steinbeck＇ s use of irony while engaging that concept. The article al- so proves that Steinbeck＇ s reliance on Malory goes beyond form and theme, and that the American Dream in Tortilla Flat, how- ever, ultimately posed questions about its possibility at all.
