《花月痕》:叙事学视域下之预叙管窥

A Narrative Analysis on “Traces of the Prostitutes”

晚清时期名噪一时的狭邪小说《花月痕》跳出了清初才子佳人小说的叙述模式,着力表现社会边缘化的一类人——名妓的命运际遇。作为我国第一部以妓女为主角的长篇小说,《花月痕》虽然在表现对象上实现了对传统小说模式的突围,但是其叙事方法仍延续中国传统小说的叙述模式:叙事顺序被打乱,隐性预叙,预示、暗指、梦境穿插于文本之中。这样的安排布局对于结构全篇、揭示主人公的命运走向、揭露清末社会现状埋下了伏笔。

＂Traces of the Prostitutes＂ in the Late Qing Dynasty is a typical pornograph- ic novel. This novel, different from the normal type of talented scholars and pretty ladies narration,tells about the fate of a famous prostitute. Although the heroine is not traditional hut the narrative method is still a traditional Chinese novel narration：a disordered narration sequence,implicit pre-narration,insinuation and dreams that are embedded in the text. This arrangement makes a hint for the textual structure,the protagnist＇ s destiny and the exposure of the late Qing society.
