苏童《黄雀记》困境意象分析

An Analysis of Predicament Imageries in Su Tong’s Novel The Yellow Sparrow

苏童在长篇小说《黄雀记》中通过三个年轻人之间不堪回首的往事,勾勒出了一场失魂落魄的青春之歌。绳结、兔笼、水塔三个意象反复出现,串联全文的同时,被赋予了人如何进行自我救赎和如何摆脱精神困境的重要含义。欲望、囚禁、救赎等主题在这三个意象中交织进行,这些困境意象是苏童不遗余力介入现实苦难的桥梁,从而实现了作者对当下人们所面对的尖锐现实进行精准剖析的写作目的。

In The Yellow Sparrow,Su Tong pictured a story of three young people with humiliating past,a story of the battered youth,in which the imageries of knot,rabbit-hutch and water tower repetitively appear,stringing the plots and signifying the process of redemption and escape from the spiritual predicament.Themes of desire,captivity,and redemption are woven into these predicament imageries which function as media of precisely analyzing the miserable reality faced by people.
