象征主义手法在《推销员之死》中的运用

On Symbolism in Death of a Salesman

"象征是根据事物间的联系,借助联想作用,以具体形象的事物来表示抽象的观念或思想感情的方法。"阿瑟·密勒在他的《推销员之死》中成功地运用了这一手法来刻画人物形象,阐释主题。他主要运用了人物象征、事物象征和景物象征等方法。这些象征征体和本体联系自然,容易引起联想,使人物更形象,主题更深刻,增强了该剧的魅力。

Symbolism is an important and effective device used by many eminent writers.Based on the connections between items,it is an approach to express thoughts and feelings with concrete matters through imagination.In his play Death of a Salesman,Arthur Miller makes a masterful use of symbolism,which helps him to shape the character and express the theme.The natural connection between the real matter and the imaginative concept makes the characters more vivid and the theme even profounder.
