摘要
在坡的作品中,背景是最为重要的要素。它是达到某种"统一效果"的先决条件,同时,它还具有丰富的象征意义。在现代主义语境下,坡所营造的"封闭的空间"呈现出一种"墙"的意象,象征着现代生活中人们无法克服的种种困境。
In Poe＇s works, setting is the most important element. It is a prerequisite for the achievement of a certain ＂unity of effect＂; meanwhile, it is endowed with rich symbolic meanings. In the context of modernism, the ＂closed space＂ Poe creates becomes a ＂wall＂ image. It symbolizes the inescapable dilemma modem men are confronted with in their lives.
