论迪尔西形象的可靠性

On the Reliability of Dilsey

迪尔西为福克纳笔下众多黑人形象之一,小说中的迪尔西既是作者的真实投射,又是基督的化身,用大爱托起了摇摇欲坠的康普生家族。她集各种美德于一身,是毅力、仁爱与忠心等美德的体现。小说的隐含作者是真实作者的反映,与真实作者是一种双向互动的关系。福克纳本人也把关爱、怜悯、同情和牺牲视作人类的普遍真理。由此可见,迪尔西与作品的隐含作者的思想规范是一致的,是故事的可靠叙述者。

Dilsey is one of many black images created by Faulkner. She is both a true reflection of the author and the Christ incarnate. Pulling the collapsing family together with her great love, and embodying virtues such as perseverance, love and loyalty. The novel＇s implied author reflects and interacts with the real author. Faulkner himself views love, compassion, sympathy and sacrifice as the universal truth of human beings. Thus, sharing the same norms with the implied author, Dilsey is a reliable narrator.
