On Existence Predicaments in >Olive Kitteridge<, [《奥丽芙•基特里奇》中的生存困境书写], Master thesis, Foreign Language and Literature, Hunan University of Science and Technology, Xiangtan, Hunan, China 2018 [application of Fromm's theories to art].

  • 伊丽莎白•斯特劳特(Elizabeth Strout,1956—)是美国当代文坛一位很有影响力的作家之一。她的作品体现出其对当今社会问题的关怀和思考。《奥丽芙•基特里奇》获2009年普利策小说奖,它讲述了一个小镇中普通的微不足道的人生,以及人们的精神危机和异化的人际关系,反映了当代美国社会中存在的生存困境。本文以埃里希•弗洛姆的爱的理论为切入点,探究《奥丽芙•基特里奇》中人物的生存困境以及对困境的突围之道。论文主体分为三个部分,前两部分重点论证小说人物生存困境的表现及原因,最后一部分深度挖掘困境突围之道。第一部分探讨个体精神世界的困境,主要通过人物强烈的孤独感和焦虑感两部分体现出来。第二部分探究人际关系中存在的困境,主要表现为家庭关系和邻里关系的异化两个方面。通过分析人物的生存困境的原因,作者指出要从根源上解决问题,才能走出困境。因此,最后一部分探究突围困境之道,作者指出在学会正确的爱的前提之下,通过逃离原生家庭和回归新家庭,试图让身处困境的人物获得心灵的慰藉和安抚。《奥丽芙•基特里奇》看似描写了一个普通人物的平凡生活,实际上折射出了当代社会中人们的生存困境。斯特劳特通过小说揭示人们的生存困境,映射出真实的社会现象,这体现了作者对现代人困境的深刻的反思和对人生意义的哲学思考。
  • Elizabeth Strout (1956 –) is a contemporary American writer. Her works reflect her concerns and reflections about contemporary social issues. >Olive Kitteridge< won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2009. The novel is about the ordinary life of the ordinary people in a small town and the spiritual crisis of characters and the alienated interpersonal relationship. It reflects the existence predicaments that exist in the contemporary American society. Based on the relevant philosophy theory of Erich Fromm’s theory of love, the thesis tries to analyze the existence predicaments of characters and the ways to break through the predicaments in Olive Kitteridge. The body of this paper is divided into three parts. The first two parts demonstrate the manifestations and reasons of the existence predicaments of characters.– The first part explores the predicaments of the spiritual world of individuals, which are manifested in two parts: strong loneliness and anxiety.– The second part explores the predicaments in interpersonal relationships, which are manifested in the alienation of family relationship and neighborhood relationship. By analyzing the reasons of the existence predicaments of the characters, the author points out it is necessary to solve the problems from the root in order to get out of the predicaments.– Therefore, the last part of the thesis explores the ways to break through the predicaments. The author tries to console and soothe the soul to those in predicaments through the way of escaping from the original family and returning to the new family under the premise of real love. Olive Kitteridge seems to depict the ordinary life of a common character; in fact it reflects the existence predicaments of people in the contemporary society. Strout reveals the predicaments of human kind through the novel and maps out the real condition of modern society. This paper reflects the author’s deep reflection on the predicaments of modern people and her philosophical thinking on the meaning of life. [Author’s translation]
