【摘要】：尤金·奥尼尔是美国最伟大的剧作家之一,他一生共四次获得普利策奖,并于1936年获得诺贝尔文学奖。在他的创作中,奥尼尔致力于探索人类社会的各种问题和现代人的精神危机,引发着我们对历史与现实、生命与死亡、善与恶的思考。《奇异的插曲》是奥尼尔的代表作之一,为其赢得了第三个普利策奖。在剧本中,奥尼尔很明显地运用了哥特文学的写作特征,在环境营造、情节设置、人物塑造、主题刻画方面等都充满了超现实的黑暗和恐惧,表现了一个个深受折磨的灵魂。因此,本文从哥特文学的写作特征着手,尝试从以上几个方面来解读这部作品的哥特风格,探究奥尼尔对人类内心的深刻关注。论文总共包含六个部分。引言部分主要介绍了尤金·奥尼尔和他的作品《奇异的插曲》,然后综述了该剧的国内外研究现状,最后指出本论文的研究意义。第一章主要介绍了哥特文学的特征,以及奥尼尔哥特情节的缘起,为后续分析奠定了基础。第二章分析剧中的哥特式环境。恐怖神秘的气氛是哥特式文学必不可少的元素,利兹教授的书房,埃文斯家的公寓无不充满了浓郁的恐怖气氛。生活在这样的恐怖环境中,人们的心灵受到极大的压抑,灵魂受到极度的扭曲,精神也变得越来越紧张,从而酿成了悲剧。第三章论述了剧中的哥特式情节。主人公尼娜采取令人匪夷所思的方式为死去的戈登进行赎罪,她心里隐藏了很多秘密,留给了我们很大的悬念,她赎罪的道路也造成了许多人的死亡。剧本借鉴传统哥特文学中的情节特征,巧妙地给我们呈现了一系列怪诞的事件,神秘的悬念,以及恐怖的死亡场景,触动着我们的每一根神经。第四章分析了剧中几位典型的哥特式的怪诞人物形象。恶棍英雄似的主人公尼娜一直被戈登的魂灵所缠绕,而死去的戈登却像生活中一股神秘的力量牵动着故事中每一个人物的心。马斯登是一个典型的性别模糊的人,他男性的身体里却包裹着一颗女性般柔弱的内心。这些怪诞的人物形象赋予了作品独特的哥特色彩。第五章研究了剧中的哥特式主题。尼娜用尽一生去复仇,她和其他男人之间产生的一点情愫也由此变得畸形。她复仇的一生揭示了女人和男人的冲突以及和父权制的冲突,这也是个人与社会的冲突的集中体现。结语部分在总结前文的基础上指出,奥尼尔用哥特风格作为工具,进行了深刻的道德探索,他有力地批判了社会现实,揭示当前的社会问题,传达了女性要求独立人格的呼声,并且进行了道德的修复和发展。

O'Neill is devoted to exploring various problems of human society and the spiritual crisis of modern people, which leads us to think about history and reality, life and death, good and evil. "Strange interlude" is one of O'Neill 's masterpieces. In the play, O'Neill clearly uses the writing features of Gothic literature, creating the environment, setting the plot, and shaping the characters. The depiction of themes is full of surreal darkness and fear, and shows a tortured soul. Therefore, this paper begins with the writing characteristics of Gothic literature. Try to interpret the Gothic style of the work from the above aspects. Explore O'Neill 's deep concern for the human heart. The paper consists of six parts. The introduction introduces Eugene O'Neill and his work, "the strange interlude." The first chapter mainly introduces the characteristics of Gothic literature and the origin of O'Neill Gothic plot. The second chapter analyzes the Gothic environment in the play. The atmosphere of terror and mystery is the essential element of Gothic literature, Professor Leeds' study. The apartment of the Evans family is full of intense terror atmosphere. Living in such a terrible environment, people's hearts are greatly depressed, the soul is extremely distorted, and the spirit becomes more and more tense. The third chapter discusses the Gothic plot in the play. Nina, the protagonist, makes atonement for the dead Gordon in an unimaginable way. She hides many secrets in her mind. Leaving us with great suspense, her way to atonement also caused the death of many people. The script draws lessons from the plot characteristics of the traditional Gothic literature, and skillfully presents us with a series of strange events, mysterious suspense. And the horrific death scene touches every nerve of ours. Chapter 4th analyzes several typical Gothic grotesque characters. Nina, the villain hero, has been entangled in Gordon's soul. The dead Gordon is like a mysterious force in life that affects the hearts of every character in the story. Marsden is a typical sex-blurred person. His male body is wrapped in a feminine heart. These grotesque characters endow the work with a unique Gothic color. Chapter 5th studies the Gothic theme of the play. Nina spends all his life on revenge. A touch of affection between her and other men became deformed. Her vengeful life revealed the conflict between women and men and the conflict with patriarchy. The conclusion part points out that O'Neill used Gothic style as a tool to conduct a profound moral exploration, and he has been able to criticize the social reality. It reveals the current social problems, conveys women's call for independent personality, and restores and develops morality.
