孤独中的顿悟 顿悟后的孤独——从《阿拉比》到《纸团》

Epiphany in Loneliness and Loneliness after Epiphany:A Comparison of Arabyand Paper Pills

詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《都柏林人》和舍伍德·安德森的《小城畸人》虽然背景不同,但都体现了作家对现代人生存困境的人文关怀。《阿拉比》中的少年在孤独中顿悟,顿悟后却又陷入《纸团》中医生的孤独,现代人似乎逃脱不了孤独的命运。作为有责任心和历史使命感的现代作家,作者在作品中探索了人类的生存状态,并对人类的命运进行思考。

Though the backgrounds are different, Dubliners and Winesburg, Ohio both reflect the same humanistic concern of James Joyce and Sherwood Anderson. In loneliness, the boy in Araby got epiphany first but caught up in loneliness again like the doctor in Paper Pills. It seems that modern man can never get away with loneliness. As responsible modern writers, Joyce and Anderson portray their expectations and thoughts of life, expressing sincerely their humanistic concerns about the status of human existence.
