【摘要】：作为英语文学的一个组成部分,英国奇幻文学历史源远流长,涉及题材多种多样。其中,J.R.R.托尔金的《魔戒》系列当之无愧的成为全世界最能代表奇幻文学的作品之一。《魔戒》三部曲及其前传《霍比特人》出版于1 9 3 7年与1 9 5 5年间,人类社会正值工业文明迅速扩张的背景下,同时又经历了第一次、第二次世界大战的洗礼,作者托尔金亲眼目睹了人类欲望膨胀、人性毁灭的恶果。为了更好地向读者阐释此种情境,作者在其作品中运用了大量富有象征意义的意象。托尔金通过《魔戒》系列中的洞穴意象这一母题,将人类生命的构建、毁灭和重建这一循环联系起来。第一部分主要分析象征生命建构力量的洞穴意象,其一为反映人类天真时期的乐园景象——霍比特人的居所——位于夏尔(S h i r e)的袋底洞(B a g E n d);其二为代表人类与其人性黑暗面及人类欲望的首次冲突——迷雾山脉(M i s t y M o u n t a i n s)中的地精洞穴(g o b l i nc a v e)。第二部分主要讨论象征生命毁灭力量的洞穴意象,其一为被象征内部及外部毁灭力量的两种怪物所占领的两处矮人洞穴——催生出炎魔(B a l r o g)的莫里亚矿脉(M i n e s o fM o r i a)以及盘踞着巨龙史茅戈(S m a u g)的孤山(L o n e l y M o u n t a i n);其二为托雷赫乌苟(T o r e c h U n g o l)——巨蜘蛛尸罗(S h e l o b)的巢穴,象征着人性堕入难以拯救的深渊。第三部分着重分析象征生命重建力量的洞穴意象。其一为象征人性自我救赎的亡者之路(P a t h s o f t h e D e a d);其二为重返象征人性复苏的夏尔(S h i r e),同时也与第一章相对应,完成人类生命的构建、毁灭及重建这一循环。虽然托尔金否认自己的作品有指代现实的作用,但当读者通读《魔戒》,再结合作者的生平经历,不难发现其作品中充斥着具有象征意义的意象。而其中的洞穴意象对于作品主题意旨的表达、情景意蕴的展现有着显著的深化作用。
[Abstract]:As an integral part of English literature, English fantasy literature has a long history, involving a variety of subjects. Of which, J.R.R. Tolkien's Ring of the Rings series deserves to be one of the most representative of fantasy literature in the world. The Trilogy of the Ring and its prelude, the Hobbit, were published between 1937 and 1955. Under the background of the rapid expansion of industrial civilization, human society experienced the baptism of the first world war and the second world war, and the author Tolkien witnessed the evil consequences of the expansion of human desire and the destruction of human nature. In order to better explain the situation to the reader, the author uses a lot of symbolic images in his works. Tolkien linked the cycle of construction, destruction and reconstruction of human life through the motif of cave imagery in the Ring of the Rings series. The first part mainly analyzes the cave image which symbolizes the strength of life construction. One is to reflect the paradise scene of human innocence-the Hobbit residence-(B a g E n d); in the bottom of the bag in (S h i r e). The second is the first conflict between human being and its dark side of human nature and human desire-the (g o b l i nc a v e). Of Geosome Cave in the Mist Mountains of (M i s t y M o u n t a i n s) The second part mainly discusses the cave images that symbolize the power of destruction of life. One is the two dwarf caves occupied by two kinds of monsters that symbolize the power of internal and external destruction-(M i n e s o fM o r i a), the mineral vein that gave birth to (B a l r o g), and the giant. The Lonely Mountain (L o n e l y M o u n t a i n); of (S m a u g) in Longshi Maugo The other is Torreheugou (T o r e c h U n g o l), the nest of the giant spider (S h e l o b), symbolizing that humanity has fallen into an abyss that cannot be saved. The third part focuses on the analysis of the cave images symbolizing the strength of life reconstruction. One is the road of the dead, which symbolizes human nature and self-redemption, (P a t h s o f t h e D e a d);. The second is to return to the symbol of the revival of human nature, (S h i r e), also corresponds to the first chapter, complete the construction of human life, destruction and reconstruction of this cycle. Although Tolkien denies that his works have the function of referring to reality, it is not difficult for readers to read through the Lord of the Rings and combine the author's life experiences to find that his works are full of symbolic images. The cave images play a significant role in the expression of the theme intention and the display of the scene implication.
