叙事声音中的性别与距离——以“私奔”情节为例比较《美狄亚》与《朱丽小姐》

Gender and Distance in Narrative Voice —A Comparison between Medea and Miss Julie on the Case of Elopement Plot

在叙事作品中,声音是价值观的载体,它不仅体现了人物的价值观也体现了隐含作者的价值观。文章以共有的"私奔"情节为基点,从叙事声音的角度阐释并比较了《美狄亚》和《朱丽小姐》两部作品中隐含作者与女主角之间的关系,认为尽管这种关系受到自然性别差异的影响,但更多地源自不同文本叙事策略的限制。因此,在阅读时应当避免从现实作者的喜恶出发,割裂甚至扭曲文本本身的意义。

Voice, as a fusion in narrative works , contents the values of characters and implied authors .Inspired by the common plot“elopement”, the paper interprets and compares the relationship between male authors and their female characters in Medea and Miss Julie from the perspective of narrative voice .This relationship, influenced by the opposite of gender inevitably , is largely affected by the innate restriction of narrative text itself .Therefore, our reading strategy should exclude the distraction incurred by real authors as much as possible, thus, avoiding the distortion of the texts.
