《万延元年足球队》中“眼睛”的意象作用

An Insight into the Life Dilemma——from the “eyes” of The Silent Cry(Football in the First year of Man'en)

大江健三郎的《万延元年足球队》讲述了一对兄弟试图挣脱人间地狱、追求新生的故事。先行研究一般认为,此部作品的主人公成功地踏上新生活之路,标志着大江已经彻底摆脱了早期的"监禁状态"主题。然而经过文本细读可以发现,这仍然是一部深陷监禁状态无法自拔的小说,凭空出土的"历史真相"扑朔迷离,结局显得仓促而突兀。本文将从"眼睛"这一意象切入,结合"森林""非洲"等符号,剖析小说中监禁状态的实态。

The Silent Cry （Football in the Firstyear of Man＇ en） narrates a story of how two brothers struggle to escape a living hell and pursue a new life. In previous studies, it is generally accepted that the protagonist＇ s successful step into a new life signifies that Oe Kenzaburo has been completely liberated from a state of imprisonment. However, by thoroughly reading the whole story, we fred that this is still a novel that is deeply trapped in a state of imprisonment. The historical truth that is unexpectedly unearthed is confusing. The end appears to be hasty and awkward. Therefore, from the perspective of the image of ＂eyes＂, this study seeks to combine the symbols, such as ＂forest＂, and ＂Africa＂, to analyze the truth of the state of irnprisonment in the novel.
