阿特伍德《盲刺客》中欺骗艺术的表现

论文摘要

玛格丽特·阿特伍德是当代加拿大最负盛名的女作家之一,她集诗人、小说家、评论家于一身,在加拿大文学界占有举足轻重的位置。《盲刺客》发表于2000年,是阿特伍德的第十部小说,作品一经问世即大获成功,同年获英国布克奖。这篇论文深入研究了小说《盲刺客》中欺骗艺术的表现。首先,本文明确了欺骗的定义,例举了欺骗主题在文学作品中的具体体现,简要分析了作者善于运用欺骗手法的创作倾向。其次,本文重点研究了作品中主要女性形象欺骗行为和盲目自欺的性格特征,并得出父权社会的压迫是造成女性欺骗的根本原因。分析了女主人公艾丽斯在妹妹劳拉自杀后,是如何通过自省、忏悔探求属于自身的真实身份以走出盲目自欺,实现从牺牲者到幸存者的转变。最后,文章分析了阿特伍德独特写作手法的迷惑性、欺骗性,从而使读者拨开层层迷雾,更加深刻的理解作品欺骗这一主题。
