Escape from Spaces——An Example of Spatial Narration in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
-
摘要: 马克·吐温是十九世纪后期美国文学巨匠,《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是其最成功的作品。小说讲述了哈克帮助逃奴吉姆经历了一系列的奇遇之后获得自由的历险故事。小说以哈克所漂流的汹涌奔腾的密西西比河流为空间主线,通过场所的不断更迭,阐释了一个在现实世界与精神世界来回游走的儿童故事。本文借助空间叙事理论,尝试从地志空间、心理空间和社会空间三个方面分析《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的空间叙事特点,以此探讨哈克在空间的逃逸中如何通过精神世界的重新构建获取自我认识,帮助读者深入理解逃逸的主题,为这部小说的研究提供新的视角。Abstract: As a giant in American literature,Mark Twain produced in his life quite a number of famous works and The Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn stands out among them.The Adventures unfolds the details of how Huck helps Jim to escape and run to freedom by depicting their adventurous experience.The story happens against the spatial background of the angrily surging Mississippi River,along which Huck and Jim are drifting.However,the space is subject to change as they go from place to place.And the plot is unfolded by the detailed description of the two children traveling in the real and spiritual worlds to and fro.By turning to the theory of spatial narration,the present paper aims atan exploitation of the narrative characteristics of The Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn by approaching them from the aspects of topographic,psychological and social spaces so as to acquire a clear understanding of how Huck acquires his freedom by reconstructing his spiritual world in his escape from space to space.
