从夏目漱石的创作历程看《梦十夜》的叙事角度

The Inevitability of the Shift from the Subjective to the Objective——A Tentative Study on the Narrative Perspectives of Ten Nights of Dream

《梦十夜》是夏目漱石的代表作之一,内容令人费解且形式颇具特色。作者在这部作品中,除了分别在叙述前八个故事和后两个故事中坚持传统意义上的第一人称和第三人称叙事手法之外,又在部分章节中巧妙地将两者不断交织,从漱石的创作历程来看,可以发现这是作者在该时期对叙述风格多样化的不断探索。

Ten Nights of Dream is one of Natsumesousaki＇s representative works, with its perplexing content and distinctive form. In this piece of work, the author employs first person narration in the first eight stories and third person narration in the last two stories respectively. Besides, in some chapters the two perspectives are skillfully interwoven. On the whole, a shift from the subjective to the objective can be discerned. In view of Natsumesousaki＇s writing career, it can be found that although the shift comes slowly and difficultly, it is inevitable in the author＇s continous explorations.
