论“带灯”及“萤火”意象的象征意义

On Symbolic Meaning of"Dai Deng"and"Fireflies"

长篇小说《带灯》是著名作家贾平凹的一部极为重要的作品,集中展现了对当下转型社会火热生活的传达能力、创造力,其文笔细腻,轻盈中不乏沉重,出版八年来备受好评。通过文本细读法与意象分析法解读"带灯"和"萤火"意象,从而挖掘作家更深邃的哲思与社会人生意义,发现"带灯"意象寄寓着作家对"人性光源"等问题的思考;"萤火"意象则寄寓着作家对"改革力量"等问题的呼唤,两种意象互为对照。作家骨子里深深的焦灼,主人公带灯可贵的自我使命感,以及理想破灭后的坚守、包容、等待等复杂意蕴,都强烈地指向人性的救赎以及人类精神家园的重建。
