《看不见的人》中人物的象征性研究

A symbolic study of characters in the Invisible Man

拉尔夫·埃里森在其代表作《看不见的人》中不在局限于直接描述美国黑人的悲惨遭遇,而是采用大量的象征性意向来反映美国社会的种族歧视问题。《看不见的人》以一个相对客观中立的立场描述了美国社会中一个黑人青年的遭遇,通过人物象征主义手法细致入微地反映出美国社会不同人种之间的相处态度。相比于注重意识形态的种族抗议文学,其更关注于美国黑人的自我意识的觉醒,更易受到社会各阶层的认可,因而能够更有效地推进美国黑人民权运动。

In his masterpiece Invisible Man, Ralph Allison is not confined to the direct description of the tragic experiences of black Americans, but uses a large number of symbolic intentions to reflect racial discrimination in American Society. The Invisible Man in a relatively neutral stance depicted a black youth in American society encounter, nuanced reflect between different races in American society along with attitude through the character symbolism. Compared with the ideology oriented racial protest literature, it pays more attention to the awakening of self-consciousness of American blacks and is more easily accepted by all strata of society. Therefore, it can promote the black American civil rights movement more effectively.
