追寻的悖谬:《猎人格拉库斯》神话原型分析

The Absurd of Pursuit: Analysis of Myth Prototype of The Hunter Graccuhus

神话回归作为20世纪世界文学的创作现象,卡夫卡是其中最为重要的一极,其小说具有较为明显的神话内蕴。卡夫卡短篇小说《猎人格拉库斯》采用含蓄隐喻的手法,对古老的宗教和神话创造性地继承,与古希腊、埃及神话和《阿曼达尔》等文学作品形成了诸多互文关系,特别是该作品隐含大量神话原型,以荒诞现实为框架,以奇幻的想象和特殊的构思重新思考现实生活的本质与世界的意义,传达出了卡夫卡对自我和社会的认知。

Return to myth is the creation phenomenon of world literature in the 20~ century. Kafka is the most important figure in this respect, with obvious myth implication in his stories. His story The Hunter Graccuhus employs metaphor to creatively inherit the ancient religion and myth, which develops intertextuality relationship with ancient Greek mythology, Egyptian myths and literary works, e.g. Armadale. Implying numerous myth prototypes, the story makes the absurd reality as framework with fantastic imagination and unique conception to revalue the essence of real life and significance of world, which shows Kafka＇s cognition about himself and society.
