摘要
作为一种重要的叙事方式,哥特手法在爱伦·坡的众多短篇小说中得到了淋漓尽致的运用,为读者展现了一幕幕令人惊悚恐惧的场景。这种恐怖达到一个极致,便向它的相反面转化,使作为载体的故事情节呈现了一种异样的文学之美,从而被赋予了反传统的美学艺术特征。短篇小说《阿芒提拉多酒桶》作为爱伦·坡的短篇代表作之一,以复仇和死亡为主题,人物不多,情节也不太复杂,但却有着浓郁的恐怖气氛,恰到好处地传达出这种创作特征,实现了异乎寻常的艺术效果。
As an important way of narration, Gothic style is vividly and incisively applied in many of Edgar Allan Poe＇ s short stories, showing quite a lot of horrible and scary scenes for the readers. While reaching to an extreme, the horror may turn to its opposite side and presents the story with a strange beauty of literature, which is bestowed with unconventional aesthetic characteristics. As one of Edgar Allan Poe＇ s masterpieces, the short story The Cask of Amontillado deals with the theme of revenge and death. It contains only a few characters and its plot is not too complex. However, the story has a rich atmosphere of horror, which conveys exactly the Gothic style and achieves an unusual artistic effect.
