摘要
威廉·福克纳的短篇小说《献给艾米莉的玫瑰》自问世以来,小说中谜团重重的主人公艾米莉一直是批评领域探讨的焦点。本文以苏珊·桑塔格的“反对阐释”理论为视角,分析福克纳如何通过叙事碎片化、重复叙事及细节隐匿等策略,刻意抵制对艾米莉小姐的单一化阐释。在小镇居民、读者与评论家的多重凝视下,艾米莉往往被简化为社会寓言或道德符号,作为“个体”的独特与复杂之处的复杂性被搁置忽视。文学创作是为了使人看到或理解独一无二之物,而非去判断或概括。本文主张通过摒弃对抽象意义的过度索求,关注阅读的感官体验与审美直觉,读者可以更接近真实的艾米莉。艾米莉无解的神秘性正是她艺术生命长存的奥秘。
William Faulkner's short story"A Rose for Emily"has long been a focus of literary criticism due to its mysterious antagonist Emily.In light of Susan Sontag's theory of"Against Interpretation,"this paper aims to analyze how Faulkner resists simplistic readings of Miss Emily through fragmented and repeated narration and deliberate concealment of details.It argues that interpretations by the townspeople,readers,and critics often reduce Emily to a social allegory or moral symbol,overlooking her complexity as a"living individual".Literary criticism should return to an awe for human complexity rather than seeking definitive,reductive conclusions.This study advocates for abandoning the pursuit of abstract meaning in favor of sensory engagement and aesthetic intuition so that readers can approach the true Emily as an individual.It is Emily's irresolvable mystery that lies the secret of her eternal artistic life and ever-glowing charm.
