《野性的呼唤》中回归主题的叙事策略分析

On the Theme of Return in The Call of the Wild in View of Narrative Strategy

在人与狗的视角中,巴克真实的生命时间与构建出的前世记忆形成并行叙事,切换视角下的“时间+空间”式叙事策略刻画出巴克真实与虚幻并存的一生。回归山谷,回归野性,回归巴克自身的视角成为小说立体式“回归”主题的例证。交织的叙事时间、叙事空间和叙事视角从多方面展现了“回归”主题。

In the switching perspective of humans and dogs,Buck’s real life time and the constructed past-life memories formed parallel narratives.The“time and space”narrative strategy under the switching perspective depicted Buck’s lifespan as real and unreal in the meantime.Return to the valley,return to the wild,return to Buck’s own perspective as the novel’s three-dimensional“return”theme exemplifies.The interwoven narrative time,narrative space and narrative perspective show the theme of“return”from many aspects.
