論《典型的美國佬》中拉爾夫的“美國夢(mèng)”
[Abstract]:Ren Bilian is one of the famous contemporary Chinese American women writers. She is known as the Gang of four in Chinese American literature together with Amy Tan, Li Jiansun and Lei Zuwei. With the success of Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan's novel, Ren's debut, the typical American, has become another effort to attract American attention to the Chinese world. The book won the 1991 New York Times Book of the year Award and was selected for the National Book Review Award. In typical American, Billian tells the story of Ralph Chang, the Chinese hero pursuing the American dream. This shows the frustration and resistance of minority intellectuals. Eroded by the commodity society, Ralph lost himself in all money-centered societies and gradually abandoned his responsibilities to the family and society. But in the end, between the native land and the new garden, we redefine and examine our social role from the perspective of Chinese and American cultures and go to the intellectual dream. This thesis deals with the theme of "American Dream" and attempts to explore the realistic significance of the dual perspective of minority intellectuals in pursuit of the American Dream by digging into the development of Ralph's American Dream. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part analyzes Ralph's first dream "Scholar Dream" after he came to the United States. Ralph, who had just arrived in the United States, aimed at becoming a good son in his father's heart, realizing his father's expectation, and regarding his doctorate and tenure as the goal of a scholar's dream. However, in the process of fulfilling the dream, Ralph's personal rights and freedoms were bound by filial piety culture, which made him abandon the scholar's dream and declare Ralph's filial piety failed in the United States. The second part analyzes the protagonist's "merchant dream". In pursuit of money and status, Ralph turned to pursue the merchant dream-the typical American dream of getting rich. However, the commercial speculation driven by profit led Ralph's merchant dream to end, reflecting the irrationality of extreme individualism and money worship in American culture. The third part explores the protagonist's American Dream. After going through many setbacks, Ralph returned to his teaching position, his sense of responsibility for family and society led him to a real intellectual, and finally he was able to obtain a unique angle of observation and thinking from the perspective of the "marginal people" of Chinese and American culture. At last, the conclusion explains that Ren Bian hopes to re-examine the American dream and reflect on the unreasonableness of American culture through the perspective of Ralph, the "marginal person" of minority intellectuals in one or two cultures.
