《大地》中的问题婚姻 ——赛珍珠隐伏的著者关注

论文摘要

自1931年发表以来,赛珍珠的《大地》就受到国内外学者的广泛关注。本论文试图从一个新的角度研究这部小说,分析主人公王龙和他的妻子阿兰之间的问题婚姻,同时探讨赛珍珠作为作者是如何将她对婚姻的关注隐含在这部作品之中的。由于相关的个人原因,赛珍珠一直对婚姻问题有一种特别的关注,这种关注体现在她所写的大部分作品中。因《大地》全书采用的是全知第三人称叙事结构,赛珍珠并未在作品中直接表达自己对婚姻的关注,而是巧妙地将这一关注隐藏在字里行间。在此,结合对中国传统婚姻制度的简介,本文运用俄国著名理论家巴赫金提出的双声理论,分析《大地》中描述问题婚姻状况的双声话语,从而揭示赛珍珠隐藏在作品中的对主人公问题婚姻的关注。
