《荆棘鸟》中的《圣经》元素

Elements Originated from Bible in The Thorn Birds

《荆棘鸟》是考琳·麦卡洛的经典长篇小说,自1977问世至今仍经久不衰。通过深入分析、对比和比较《荆棘鸟》与《圣经》中人物形象、事物及情节以及环境和结构,发现作为基督教作者的麦卡洛,及其巧妙地在书中分别刻画了玛丽·卡森和梅吉,如同圣经中蛇以及圣母玛利亚的形象,描述了德罗海达牧场伊甸园般的风景,解读了圣经道德观"罪与罚"。

The classic novel, The Thorn Birds written by Colleen McCullough has been enjoying the en- during popularity since it was initially published in 1977. By compared and contrasted in depth, among the elements of characters, objects, plots, environmental description and structures in the novel and Bible, it is amazing to find, as a Christian herself, Colleen McCullough in her book, elaborately portrays the snake-like Mary Carson and Maria_like Meggie, describes the Garden-of-Eden-like Drogheda ranch and interprets the moral rule of crime and punishment of Bible.
