论伍尔夫小说《到灯塔去》中的精神隐喻

On the Spiritual Metaphor in Woolf’s Novel To the Lighthouse

为探析伍尔夫小说《到灯塔去》中蕴藏的精神内涵,通过对作品中主要人、事、物表层行为和内在心理层面的分析研究,发现了伍尔夫对于人性、人生的深层思考:看似确定行为背后的不确定性;父子、夫妻关系的对抗与和解;生的“失去”与死的“得到”之间的对立统一;人性外在与内在不可避免的矛盾与冲突,这些充满隐喻的思考不仅构筑了伍尔夫作为女性作家独特的观察视角,更加表明了人性和人生的复杂性,指出人类内在的精神力量才是人类战胜困难的真正来源。

Woolf has always been good at making concealed narrative in his works.There are a lot of profound spiritual metaphors behind the seemingly single narrative mode in To the Lighthouse.The life experiences of the Ramseys around the lighthouse in ten years from"thinking"to"going"seem insipid,but they are thought-provoking.By describing the behaviors of James Ramsay and Mr.and Mrs.Ramsay,Woolf shows her deep thinking on the spiritual level of human beings:the uncertainty behind seemingly certain behaviors,the confrontation and reconciliation between father and son,between husband and wife,the"loss"of life and the"gain"of death,the external and internal contradictions and conflicts of human nature.What is valuable is that although it is different from our traditional cognition,it shows the unique perspective and inner spiritual power of female writers.
