论《红蜡烛和人鱼》中的二元对立与消解

On Binary Opposition and Resolution in "The Red Candles and the Mermaid"

小川未明被称为"日本的安徒生","日本儿童文学之父"。然而在战后,很多儿童文学理论家对他的童话从各个角度进行了批判。其中批判最多的是其作品流露出来的消极色彩。《红蜡烛和人鱼》也不例外。本文试图从二元对立的角度,分析隐藏在作品中的三组二元对立矛盾,并通过对这三组矛盾的剖析和解构,来探究作品的主题和作者的写作意图。

Ogawa Mimei is not known as"Japan's Andersen"and"the father of Japanese children's literature".However,after the War,many children's literature theorists criticized his fairy tales from all angles.The most criticized is the negative color of his works,including"The Red Candles and the Mermaid".This paper attempts to analyze the three sets of dual contradictions hidden in the works from the perspective of binary opposition,and through the analysis and deconstruction of these three sets of contradictions,to explore the themes of the works and the author's writing intentions.
