村上春树《镜子》中的恐怖书写

The Horror in Haruki Murakami’s Mirror

《镜子》是村上春树为了表现心中的恐怖而采用类似于怪谈手法创作的短篇小说,现有研究对作品中的怪谈色彩以及村上提及的“心中的恐怖”缺乏深入论述。本文认为,村上春树通过镜子等意象、百物语的叙事形式尤其是生灵作祟手法营造了怪谈式的恐怖氛围。生灵是灵魂挣脱理智控制形成的“恶”的化身,崇尚个体自由的村上将体制视为恶,而号称反体制的学生运动居然产生了压制个体的体制,这种“善恶边界的模糊性”正是村上所要表达的心中恐怖。

Mirror employs a method similar to kwaidan by Haruki Murakami in order to truly express the horror in his heart. Current research lacks an in-depth discussion on the factor of kwaidan in the work and the “horror in the heart” mentioned by Murakami. This article believes that we can see the factor of kwaidan from the narrative forms of mirrors, schools, ladders and the form of hyakumonogatari. In particular, Murakami created a strange atmosphere of horror through living spirits. The living spirits are the incarnations of the “evil” within the body that break free from the control of rationality. Murakami, who advocates individual freedom, regards the system as evil, and the student movement known as anti-system actually give rise to the system that suppresses the individual. This “fuzziness of the boundary between good and evil” is exactly what Murakami wants to express in his heart. Through this supernatural image of living spirits, Murakami intuitively presents the invisible inner terror in a tangible way, showing superb narrative skills.
