發(fā)布時間：2018-09-14 08:40
【摘要】：成長是一個人人生中常見而不可或缺的階段。在小說作品中,成長為主人公獨立地面對現(xiàn)實世界提供了必要的知識、自信和能力。在文學(xué)界,成長小說近年來越來越成為一個常見的主題。研究者和學(xué)者們運用成長小說理論對大量文學(xué)作品從不同角度進(jìn)行了分析解讀。然而,對于美國作家桑德拉西斯內(nèi)羅絲的小說《芒果街上的小屋》,目前則較少有研究者從成長小說的角度進(jìn)行解讀。該作品描寫了美國墨西哥移民第二代小女孩埃斯佩朗莎成長的心路歷程,在成長過程中,她經(jīng)歷挫折失敗,實現(xiàn)頓悟已經(jīng)明確夢想——去追尋少數(shù)族裔獨特的女性身份。在這個過程中,她實現(xiàn)了自己的成長。 本論文以族裔問題和移民生活為背景,通過分析女主人公埃斯佩朗莎在移民社區(qū)的成長經(jīng)歷,指出她的成長過程是一個充滿夢想的一段歷程,反映了她追尋獨特的少數(shù)族裔女性身份的渴望 《芒果街上的小屋》作為一部成長小說,主人公的成長故事是少數(shù)族裔所經(jīng)歷的典型；她成長中的困惑是墨西哥裔美國人的悲哀。如何擺脫種族差異帶來的歧視,實現(xiàn)女性自我意識覺醒,對族裔女性而言是一大挑戰(zhàn),也是一條艱難險阻的路。然而主人公沒有畏懼,她有理想、有追求獨立自主的意識。在身邊人物的影響下、在日常生活的點滴中,主人公對自己和社會有了更全面的認(rèn)識,她不愿再被束縛,渴望改變命運,并且有高度的使命感,愿意為整個族裔能更好的發(fā)展做貢獻(xiàn)。小說中的埃斯佩朗莎通過對芒果街的故事勢必將會激勵各少數(shù)族裔群體努力奮斗,獲得知識,改變命運。 為了使得該論點更加清晰明白,本論文以女性成長為視角,解讀女主人公的夢想,展現(xiàn)她是通過什么樣的方式以及如果在最終去實現(xiàn)自己的夢想和追求的。通過追溯成長小說在德國和美國的起源以及發(fā)展,本論文指出該小說屬于女性成長小說范疇。其次,通過分析女主人公埃斯佩朗莎所面臨的身份危機(jī),我們能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)她成長的環(huán)境是多么的糟糕：貧窮、種族差異、性別歧視以及自我價值的迷茫。同時,女主人公夢想的發(fā)展在其成長過程中具有重要的作用,因為這個過程見證了她追求夢想與獨特身份的坎坷與艱辛。因此,在成長引路人與成長伙伴的影響下,以及在經(jīng)歷坎坷曲折和實現(xiàn)頓悟之后,埃斯佩朗莎最終明確了自己的夢想方向,找到了實現(xiàn)夢想的途徑。 整篇論文由五部分組成,包括緒論、兩個主要章節(jié)和結(jié)論部分。 緒論部分首先介紹了小說《芒果街上的小屋》的相關(guān)背景材料和文學(xué)評論,同時對作者桑德拉·希斯內(nèi)羅絲(Sandra Cisneros)創(chuàng)作小說的背景及其寫作生涯,其成名作《芒果街上的小屋》與文中的主人公等做了介紹。此外,本部分還討論了該小說的研究價值,并介紹了整篇論文的思路。 第二章以經(jīng)典成長小說與美國成長小說為中心,厘清教育小說和成長小說的異同,試圖通過追溯成長小說的起源來梳理成長小說的發(fā)展脈絡(luò)和其作為美國版的教育小說對美國作家創(chuàng)作的影響。美國成長小說植根于美國文化的豐腴土壤之中,有著其自身的特征與吸引力。而作為一部女性成長小說,《芒果街上的小屋》為我們展現(xiàn)了一幅小女孩埃斯佩朗莎成長的生動畫面。 第三章主要論及《芒果街上的小屋》中美籍墨裔女性成長的心路歷程。小說的女主人公埃斯佩朗莎是作者塑造的一個帶有半自傳性質(zhì)的人物。在成長中,埃斯佩朗莎碰到了形形色色的人,有家人,有朋友,也有陌生人。芒果街上的居住環(huán)境和接觸的各色人群讓小主人公的成長帶有更多的童話色彩。在她的意識中,房子就是家的象征,是她對溫暖和幸福的向往。與此同時,埃斯佩朗莎的女性意識也在逐漸覺醒,她開始認(rèn)真審視自己的女性身份,以及對族裔狀況的思考。 結(jié)語部分總結(jié)了全文的內(nèi)容。該部分總結(jié)了女主人公埃斯佩朗莎在經(jīng)過一番跌宕起伏的成長過程之后,最終意識到自己的追求和夢想是什么：放棄白人文化灌輸給她的,把擁有一幢漂亮的白色大房子來作為定義自身價值的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),轉(zhuǎn)而尋找或者營造一個屬于自己的空間；拒絕大多數(shù)多女性希望通過婚姻來改變自己命運的想法,而是通過自身的努力來改變自己的命運,對她而言就是寫作；拒絕被限制在狹窄的墨西哥社區(qū),而是選擇走出去,學(xué)習(xí)主流文化并與之對話,希望在自己成長之后能夠回來幫助她身邊的墨西哥裔人。
[Abstract]:Growth is a common and indispensable stage in one's life. In fiction, growth provides the protagonist with the necessary knowledge, confidence and ability to face the real world independently. In literary circles, initiation stories have become a more and more common theme in recent years. Researchers and scholars have applied the initiation story theory to a large number of literary works. However, few researchers interpret Sandra Cisneros's novel The Cabin on Mango Street from the perspective of initiation stories. The novel describes the growth of Esperanza, the second generation of Mexican immigrants. She has experienced setbacks and failures, realizing an epiphany that has made clear her dream of pursuing the unique female identity of the ethnic minority. In the process, she has achieved her own growth.
Based on the background of ethnic problems and immigrant life, this paper analyzes the growth experience of the heroine Esperanza in the immigrant community, and points out that her growth process is a dream-filled process, reflecting her desire to pursue a unique minority female identity.
As a Bildungsroman, the protagonist's growth story is typical of ethnic minorities; her growing confusion is the sadness of Mexican Americans. How to get rid of racial discrimination and realize the awakening of women's self-consciousness is a great challenge and a difficult obstacle for ethnic women. However, the protagonist is not afraid, she has the ideal, the pursuit of independent consciousness. Under the influence of the people around her, in daily life, the protagonist has a more comprehensive understanding of herself and society, she is no longer bound, eager to change her destiny, and has a high sense of mission, willing to contribute to the better development of the entire ethnic group. By telling the story of Mango Street, Esperanza is bound to inspire ethnic minorities to strive, acquire knowledge and change their destiny.
In order to make this argument clearer, this paper interprets the heroine's dream from the perspective of female growth, and shows how she realizes her dream and pursuit in the end. Secondly, by analyzing the identity crisis faced by the heroine Esperanza, we can find out how terrible the environment in which she grew up: poverty, racial differences, sexism and confusion of self-worth. At the same time, the development of the heroine's dream plays an important role in her growth because of this process. She has witnessed the frustrations and hardships of her pursuit of her dreams and unique identity. Therefore, under the influence of the growth guide and the growth partner, and after experiencing the frustrations and twists and realizing the insight, Esperanza finally defined her dream direction and found the way to realize her dream.
The whole paper consists of five parts, including introduction, two main chapters and conclusion.
The introduction first introduces the background materials and literary reviews of the novel The House on Mango Street, and then introduces the background and career of Sandra Cisneros, his famous novel The House on Mango Street, and the hero of the novel. The value of the research and the idea of the whole paper are introduced.
Chapter Two focuses on the classical Bildungsroman and the American Bildungsroman to clarify the similarities and differences between the educational novels and the Bildungsroman, and tries to trace the origin of the Bildungsroman to sort out the development of Bildungsroman and its impact on American writers as an American Educational Novel. The American Bildungsroman is rooted in the rich soil of American culture. In the soil, it has its own characteristics and attraction. As a female initiation novel, The Cabin on Mango Street shows us a vivid picture of the growth of the little girl Esperanza.
Chapter Three focuses on the growth of Chinese and American Mexican women in The Cabin on Mango Street. Esperanza, the heroine of the novel, is a semi-autobiographical character portrayed by the author. In her mind, the house is the symbol of home and her yearning for warmth and happiness. Meanwhile, Esperanza's feminine consciousness is gradually awakening, and she begins to seriously examine her own female identity, as well as thinking about ethnic conditions.
This part summarizes the heroine Esperanza's ups and downs, and finally realizes what her pursuit and dream is: to give up the white culture and instill it into her, to own a beautiful white house as a criterion for defining her own value, and to turn to To find or create a space of her own; to reject the idea that most women want to change their destiny through marriage, but through their own efforts to change their destiny, is to her writing; to refuse to be confined to a narrow Mexican community, but to choose to go out and learn the mainstream culture and talk to it, I hope that I can come back to help the people of Mexico after her growth.
