基于叙事判断理论的《喧哗与骚动》研究

A Study of The Sound and the Fury Based on the Theory of Narrative Judgments

诺贝尔文学奖得主威廉·福克纳的代表作《喧哗与骚动》讲述了美国南方密西西比州康普生家族的没落悲剧。文章借助修辞叙事学家詹姆斯·费伦的叙事判断理论,对《喧哗与骚动》中的叙事判断进行具体分析,表明福克纳正是通过不同人物叙述者的叙事判断来建构精妙的叙事文本、塑造鲜明的人物形象、引导读者形成不同的叙事判断,展现了文学大师福克纳高超的叙事技巧。

The Sound and the Fury, masterpiece of the Nobel Prize winner in literature William Faulkner, tells the tragic decline of the Compson family in the southern American state Mississippi. With the theory of narrative judgments by rhetorical theorist of narrative James Phelan, this paper gives a thorough analysis of the narrative judgments in the novel to indicate that it is through the use of narrative judgments that Faulkner elaborately builds narrative text, creates distinct characters, and guides readers to form different narrative judgments, displaying Faulkner’s excellent narrative skills as a master of literature.
