Through a close analysis of the novel’s narrative structure and key scenes, the article argues that ethical discomfort does not evolve into enduring moral judgments within the text;rather, it is continually managed and deferred through the interplay of aesthetic order, familial discourse, and the distribution of social roles. The novel eschews a linear trajectory of ethical awakening, instead crafting a narrative mechanism that keeps ethical experience palpable yet inarticulable. The female subject is given the role of sensing ethical incongruity, but lacks the narrative position from which to articulate it as judgment. Consequently, ethics remains confined to the level of personalization and unimplementability. Far from a narrative of moral growth or awakening, The Garden Party exposes why ethical judgment has become structurally unrealizable in modern narratives.展开更多

The novel Bonds and autobiography My Life collaboratively construct a financial myth portraying protagonist Andrew Bevel as an exemplar of self-made success. Subsequently, Ida’s Memoir exposes the subjective construction of history, declaring the American Dream’s bankruptcy at the epistemological level, while Mildred’s diary Futures deconstructs the myth from within by revealing that Bevel’s financial genius was built upon appropriation of his wife’s intellectual labor. This paper argues that Trust reveals the American Dream as an ideological illusion-narratively constructed, practically dependent on structural injustice, and essentially serving power reproduction.展开更多

文摘Narrative nursing has emerged as a vital approach in patient-centered care,and emphasize the importance of understanding patients’emotional experiences in addition to their physical health needs.In this article,we comment on the article by Zhou et al.Diseases such as acute pancreatitis can cause significant suffering and severely impact patients’quality of life.During treatment,routine nursing procedures such as gastric tube placement,oxygen therapy,monitoring,and nasogastric feeding often lack effective communication,which can adversely affect patients’recovery.This article highlights how narrative nursing can provide deeper insights into patients’emotional experiences,ultimately resulting in improved care outcomes.We also emphasize the role of narrative nursing in understanding and addressing these emotional needs to achieve personalized care,which can strengthen the therapeutic relationship between healthcare providers and patients.By recognizing the critical role of emotional well-being in patient care,we can develop comprehensive strategies that facilitate recovery and enhance overall quality of life.
