顿悟与象征——《都柏林人》中“死者”的结局引发的几个问题

Epiphany and Symbol: Problems Raised by the Ending of "The Dead" in Dubliners

乔依斯的《都柏林人》以其独特的表现艺术使其成为与莫泊桑、契可夫齐名的短篇小说大师。这部短篇小说集的意义还不仅仅如此,它通过"顿悟"和"象征"两种手法对人物心路历程的描述已经越过了传统现实主义小说的界面,使其带有很浓的前现代主义文学作品的色彩。

James Joyce uses many symbols in his works to highlight the theme. Meanwhile, he also uses epiphany to depict the inner world of his characters. Such a technique is employed not only by the realist writers but also the modernists. This paper, based on comments on the relationship between modernism and realism, concludes that Dubliners has its peculiar revealing form of pre-modernistic literature. In this regard, James Joyce is worthy of greater attention.
