《太阳照常升起》与《五号屠场》中的乌托邦思想

Utopia Thought in the War Novels of The Sun Also Rises and Slaughterhouse-Five

《太阳照常升起》和《五号屠场》都是战后的文学产物。海明威与冯内古特并没有着重体现战争和战争英雄的辉煌。与之相反的是,他们都是以着重描写参战者战后的迷惘生活以及创伤记忆来体现战争的残酷。以战争为切入点,通过比较两部作品中主人公的乌托邦意识,从而揭示战争背后人们对乌托邦的向往与追求的始终如一。

The Sun Also Rises and Slaughterhouse-Five are both the literary products after the war. Ernest Hemingway and Kurt Vonnegut have not aiming at glorifying the war and war heroes. On the contrary, they put emphasis on the main characters＇ confused life and traumatic memory to show the cruelty. By taking the optical angle of war and making comparison of the Utopia thoughts in these two novels, this paper attempts to show that the pursuit of Utopia would never change even in the war time.
