【摘要】：唐娜·塔特(Donna Tartt,1963-)是美国当代著名作家。在三十多年的写作生涯中,塔特共著有三部长篇小说,且都名列畅销榜榜首或为获奖作品。2013年出版的《金翅雀》获得了2014年的普利策文学奖,并领衔亚马逊年度好书榜第一名。普利策委员会评价道,《金翅雀》是“触动心灵、引人深思的作品”。该书以小男孩西奥为主人公,用第一人称视角讲述了他从十三岁到二十七岁的成长经历。成长小说是一种历史悠久的文学体裁,体现主人公的心灵成长和道德完善的过程。《金翅雀》具有成长小说的典型特征。本文以此为切入点,探讨两个研究问题:1.本文的情节设置如何体现成长小说的结构,且这一情节与同名画作金翅雀是如何联系起来的?2.在主人公成长过程中有哪些重要因素使其实现蜕变?本论文依托杰罗姆·汉密尔顿·巴克莱(Jerome Hamilton Buckley,1917-)和苏珊娜·豪(Susanne Howe,1903-)对于成长小说的论述,对《金翅雀》进行分析。第一部分梳理了小说中出现的成长小说母题及情节安排,包括踏上旅程、经历磨难和得到救赎。同时,将这三个阶段和金翅雀画作的“得”、“失”、“复得”联系起来,证明金翅雀同主人公的命运紧密相连。第二部分探讨了影响主人公成长的主要因素。首先,两种类型的引路人对主人公产生影响。不在场的父亲即消极的引路人导致主人公必定要寻找精神上的父亲,也就是他的积极引路人兼人生导师霍比;其次,两段爱情经历加速了主人公的成长,其中凯西代表的降格的爱情同皮帕代表的升华的爱情形成对比,同时后者也是美好的代名词,是使西奥免于沉沦的重要因素之一;再次,三种不同类型的朋友见证或反衬了他的成长。作为艺术的象征,金翅雀贯穿全文,对主人公以及人类有着拯救的作用,是使其最终实现与社会和解的表征。《金翅雀》包含了成长小说中的特征,如情节设置、引路人、爱情和友情的抉择等。通过磨砺,主人公西奥最终走向成熟,也得到了救赎。本文证明《金翅雀》是一部典型的成长小说。探讨新时代成长小说中青少年的成长有一定的启示作用和现实意义。西奥的成长经历对于处于迷茫中的青少年有一定的指引作用,也为解决青少年的社会化问题提供了一个发人深省的视角。
[Abstract]:Donna Tarttt is a famous contemporary American writer. In more than three decades of writing, Tate has written three novels, all at the top of the bestseller list or award-winning work. Golden finch, published in 2013, won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 2014 and topped Amazon's list of good Books of the year. According to the Pulitzer Commission, Canary is a "soul-moving, thought-provoking work." The book, with Theo as the protagonist, tells a first-person story of his growing up from 13 to 27. The growing up novel is a literary genre with a long history, which embodies the process of spiritual growth and moral perfection of the protagonist. This article takes this as the starting point, discusses two research questions: 1. How the plot of this article reflects the structure of the growing up novel, and how the plot is related to the painting of the same name, the golden finch. What are the important factors in the process of the protagonist's growth? Based on Jerome Hamilton Buckley 1917-1917-and Susanne Howeer 1903), this thesis analyzes Canary. The first part combs the motif and plot arrangement of the growth novel, including embarking on the journey, suffering and redemption. At the same time, the three stages are related to the "gain", "loss" and "recovery" of the goldfinch, which proves that the goldfinch is closely connected with the fate of the protagonist. The second part discusses the main factors that affect the growth of the protagonist. First, two types of guides have an impact on the protagonist. An absent father, a passive guide, leads the hero to find a spiritual father, his active guide and mentor Hobby. Secondly, the two love experiences accelerate the protagonist's growth. Among them, Cathy's degenerate love contrasts with Pippa's sublimated love, which is also a good synonym and one of the important factors to keep Theo from sinking. Again, Three different types of friends witness or contrast his growth. As a symbol of art, the golden finch runs through the full text, which can save the protagonist as well as human beings, and is the representation of the ultimate reconciliation with the society. "Golden finch" contains the characteristics of the growing up novel, such as the setting of the plot, the guide to the people, The choice between love and friendship, etc. Through sharpening, the protagonist Theo eventually matures and is also redeemed. This paper proves that Canary is a typical growth novel. It has certain enlightening effect and realistic significance to probe into the growth of teenagers in the new era's growth novels. Theo's growth experience has a certain guiding role for the youth in the confusion, but also provides a thought-provoking perspective for solving the problem of youth socialization.
