《第二十二条军规》中的梅杰少校形象刍议

On Major Major's Character in Catch- 22

约瑟夫·海勒的《第二十二条军规》是黑色幽默小说的代表作,这部作品人物众多,其中梅杰少校虽不是主人公,但在某种程度上具有典型性。梅杰少校集各种反讽于一身,他既是军规的制定者,又是军规世界的受害者;外在的名字与相貌完全决定了他的命运,使他在这个荒唐疯狂的世界中毫无反抗的能力。他的形象不仅很好地诠释了黑色幽默的艺术手法,也映衬了作品的主题。

Joseph Heller＇ s Catch - 22 is one of the masterpieces of black humor novels. There are so many different characters in this novel, and Major Major is not the most important one, but in some way, he is a very typical black humor character. There are several kinds of ironies in Major Major＇s personality, he is not only the maker of one of the catches, but also one of the victims. Name and exterior looks decide his destiny and make him completely passive to the world. Major Major＇s character reflects the artistic characteristics of black humor novel, and meanwhile serves to highlight the theme of the novel.
