摘要
本文从叙事学与原型理论入手 ,对爱伦·坡的经典小说《厄歇尔府的倒塌》进行了解读。发现叙述者作为故事的虚构世界和读者的现实世界的中介 ,在恐怖效果的传达和审美维度的扩展上发挥着举足轻重的作用。依据原型理论 ,文学性的产生源于文学作品作为“虚构性的语辞结构”对神话的移用 ,这同时也是对生活常轨的脱离。《厄歇尔府的倒塌》的文学性是通过魔怪意象和死而复生原型的移用来实现的。在其荒诞的故事背后具有深刻的人文关怀 ,这是人类共同的经验。
The present article approaches Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Fall of the House of Usher from the perspective of narratology and archetypal theory. It argues that the role of the narrator is of great importance in that it links up the fictitious world and the real world, thus contributing to the terrifying effect and mediating the aesthetic interpretation. In accordance with the principles of archetypal theory, the paper points out that literariness of literary works is created by the displacement of myths which is in turn a deviation from daily life. As an illustration of the principle, the paper shows that this effect in The Fall of the House of Usher, is achieved through demonic imagery and displacement of the revival archetype. Then the paper contends that though the story seems grotesque and arabesque, it nevertheless has a secret concern for human beings in its description of and reflection on human experiences.
