發(fā)布時間：2018-08-30 18:38
【摘要】：《蒂凡尼的早餐》是美國文學史上著名的南方文學作家杜魯門·卡波特的作品。小說面市后,極受讀者歡迎并多次再版,入選《時代周刊》“百部最佳英文小說”。小說的主人公霍莉·戈萊特利是一個生活在紐約的交際花,她的生活中充滿了新奇和渴望,形形色色的男人圍繞著她,而她則巧妙周旋,游刃有余。這部小說為卡波特帶來了空前的名聲,同時也成為他寫作生涯的轉折點。 《蒂凡尼的早餐》創(chuàng)作于1958年。雖然沒有任何證據(jù)表明卡波特在創(chuàng)作這部小說的時候受到了存在主義的影響,但是本文認為小說中體現(xiàn)的人生主題與流行于20世紀40年代到60年代的存在主義十分吻合,卡波特對霍莉的描寫與存在主義代表人物薩特的存在主義觀點也不謀而合,因而本文試圖從存在主義角度解讀《蒂凡尼的早餐》,從而使人們對這部作品有一個新的認識。 本文共分四部分。第一部分主要介紹卡波特生平及《蒂凡尼的早餐》的創(chuàng)作背景。第二部分闡述了本文的理論框架,并介紹了存在主義及其代表人物薩特。對薩特存在主義的一些基本概念如“存在先于本質”等進行了簡要說明。第三部分是論文的主體部分,對應存在主義基本概念,從三個方面對這部作品做了存在主義解讀。小說主人公霍莉通過三次重要選擇確定了自己從農(nóng)村到城市,從普通女孩到社交女郎,最后再次忘卻過去,遠赴南美的人生軌跡。在這三次自由選擇中,她承擔了選擇的責任,證實了自我的本質。在她追求自由的過程中,霍莉也經(jīng)歷了焦慮、異化、痛苦、自欺這些心理困惑。她與他人的關系也可以歸納為欲望、冷漠、憎恨與愛情。第四部分得出結論：小說《蒂凡尼的早餐》具有強烈的存在主義特征,對該小說的存在主義解讀能讓讀者對該小說有一個新的認識。 《蒂凡尼的早餐》不僅僅是一部暢銷的小說,更是一部關注人生存狀態(tài)、精神狀態(tài)的作品。盡管小說誕生于20世紀50年代,但是小說中主人公的生存狀態(tài)與心理困惑與當代人有著諸多相似。通過對《蒂凡尼的早餐》的存在主義解讀,能幫助讀者更好地了解小說體現(xiàn)的存在主義特征及內涵。
[Abstract]:Breakfast of Tiffany is the work of Truman Capote, a famous southern literary writer in the history of American literature. After its launch, the novel was popular with readers and republished many times, and was selected as time magazine's 100 Best English novels. Holly Goletley, the protagonist of the novel, is a New York socialite. Her life is full of novelty and desire. The novel brought unprecedented fame to Capote and also marked a turning point in his writing career. Breakfast of Tiffany was written in 1958. Although there is no evidence that Capote was influenced by existentialism in the writing of the novel, this paper argues that the theme of life embodied in the novel is very consistent with the existentialism popular in the 1940s and 1960s. Capote's description of Holly coincides with that of Sartre, the representative of existentialism, so this paper attempts to interpret Breakfast of Tiffany from the perspective of existentialism, so that people can have a new understanding of the novel. This paper is divided into four parts. The first part introduces Capote's life and the background of Breakfast in Tiffany. The second part expounds the theoretical framework of this paper and introduces existentialism and its representative character Sartre. Some basic concepts of Sartre existentialism such as "being before essence" are briefly explained. The third part is the main part of the paper, corresponding to the basic concept of existentialism, from three aspects of the works of Existentialism interpretation. Holly, the protagonist of the novel, determines her life course from rural to urban, from ordinary girl to sociable girl, and finally forgets the past and goes to South America again through three important choices. In these three free choices, she assumed the responsibility of choice and confirmed the essence of self. In her pursuit of freedom, Holly also experienced anxiety, alienation, pain, self-deception these psychological confusion. Her relationship with others can also be summed up as desire, indifference, hatred and love. The fourth part concludes that the novel Breakfast of Tiffany has a strong existentialist characteristic. The existentialist interpretation of the novel can make readers have a new understanding of the novel. Breakfast of Tiffany is not only a best-selling novel, but also a work that pays attention to the state of human existence and the state of mind. Although the novel was born in the 1950s, the protagonist's living state and psychological confusion are similar to those of contemporary people. By analyzing the existentialism in Breakfast of Tiffany, we can help readers better understand the existentialism characteristic and connotation of the novel.
