莫言小说《冰雪美人》细读

A Close Reading of Mo Yan’s Novel Snow Beauty

莫言小说《冰雪美人》是一篇值得长久探索的作品。进行文本细读可知,其题目“冰雪美人”是耐人寻味的,这是一个隐喻意象,也是一个象征意象;这是一个肯定意象,也是一个否定意象。《冰雪美人》的主要人物是一个悲剧女子。其主题有多重,既批判“白马镇文化”,也批判丑陋的人性;既反思现代价值观,也反思社会转型期人的思想现代化的重要性。小说采用写实与象征相结合的叙事方法,叙事视角是第一人称“我”,叙事结构分表层与内层:表层采用截取生活横断面的方法,内层是复调式的,存在多重对话。

Mo Yan’s novel Snow Beauty is worth exploring for a long time.After a close reading of the text,we can see that the title Snow Beauty is thought-provoking,which is a metaphorical image as well as a symbolic image;it is a positive image,but also a negative image.The main character of Snow Beauty is a tragic woman.Its themes are multiple,criticizing not only the "Baima town culture",but also the ugly human nature;reflecting on the modern values and the importance of people’s ideological modernization in the period of social transformation.The novel adopts the narrative method of combining realism and symbolism.The narrative perspective is the first person "I".The narrative structure is divided into surface layer and inner layer:the surface layer adopts the method of intercepting the cross-section of life,and the inner layer is polyphonic,and there are multiple dialogues.
