浅谈《好人难寻》中的暴力救赎主题

Brief Analysis about the theme of Violence and Salvation in "A Good Man Is Hard to Find"

在《好人难寻》中,作者奥康纳为读者生动的刻画了"不合时宜的人"这一角色,反映了当时社会人性的扭曲与变态。而奥康纳在她所处的那个时代中她被称为"邪恶的奥康纳",因为在她的作品中社会冷漠荒诞,人们自私麻木,毫无温情可言。实际上奥康纳只是想通过作品来让人们正视自己内心的邪恶,她描写暴力是想叫醒麻木地活在这个冷漠社会的人们,以暴力撕开社会的面具,揭露社会的本质,进而救赎人们,拯救世界。

In "Good Man Is Hard to Find", the author O ’connor vividly portrays the character of "anachronistic man" for readers, which reflects the distortion and abnormality of human nature in the society at that time. In her era, O ’connor was called the "evil O ’connor", because in her works, the society was cold and absurd, people were selfish and numb, and there was no warmth at all. In fact, O ’Connor just wants to let people face their inner evil through her works. She describes violence to wake up people who live in this indifferent society numbly, tear off the mask of society with violence, reveal the essence of society,and then save people and the world.
