弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的内在矛盾及其小说的“联结”主题

The Inner Contradiction of Virginia Woolf and the “Connection” Theme of Her Novels

弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的主要作品均表现出对现代社会人际关系危机的关注和忧虑,表达了作家对实现人与人"联结"的向往。作为传统的叛逆者,伍尔夫在生活和艺术两方面均存在不可调和的内心矛盾:一面反对传统维多利亚社会的庸俗、虚伪,一面又被其深深吸引;一面坚持采用私人化的叙事手法,一面却无力解决这一手法与超越个人的"联结"主题的矛盾。为化解这些内心矛盾,伍尔夫塑造了"女主人"和"女艺术家"这两组形象,两者生活方式迥异,但对"联结"的追求却并无不同,而后者对前者从误解到理解的过程,亦部分反映了作家自己的心路历程。

The main works of Virginia Woolf show a great concern on the crisis in interpersonal relationships of modern society. They also express the eager of the author to achieve＂connection＂between individuals. As a rebel of tradition,Virginia has her irreconcilable inner contradictions in both personal life and creation of art. She strongly criticizes the philistinism and hypocrisy of the Victorian. At the same time,she is also deeply attracted by the same culture. On the other side,the contradiction between personal narrative and the＂connection＂theme which is impersonal cannot be neutralized,either.To solve these problems,Virginia Woolf created two groups of characters known as ＂hostess＂and ＂female artist＂. Although they have different lifestyles,their aim to achieve＂connection＂is the same. The process of misunderstanding of the ＂hostess＂to the understanding also partly reflects the spiritual experience of the author.
