Embodiment of Alienation in the Grotesques of >Ship of Fools< [从异化视角看波特小说《愚人船》中的怪诞人] [application of Fromm's theories to art]
- 美国著名小说家凯瑟琳•安•波特的长篇小说《愚人船》是一部现代西方社会人际关系的百态图。透过船上怪诞人的心理世界描写,波特将西方社会人际关系的异化表现得十分到位。特里德维尔夫人拒绝承认现实的自己,沉浸在对自己少女时代回忆的迷恋中,拒绝与人交流,拒绝异性的爱慕;宗教狂格拉夫先生貌似虔诚的基督徒,实则狭隘贪财,对自己的亲人残酷无情。这些怪诞人形象都表现出西方资本主义社会中人与自身和他人的关系都产生了异化。文章拟从马克思对工业社会的异化理论延伸开去,从弗洛姆人性异化的理论观点出发,试图以《愚人船》中怪诞人的形象为切入点,探讨现代主义文学作品中人的异化这一主题。
- >Ship of Fools< by Katherine Anne Porter is a panorama of the modern western world in terms of interpersonal relationship. With the depiction of the inner world of the grotesques in the novel, Porter fully reveals the alienation in relationship among modern western people. Mrs. Treadwell denies her real self in reality, getting immersed in her fantasy for youth and refusing to communicate with others or be loved by the young officer. Mr. Graf, a seemingly pious Christian, is actually cruel to his own nephew. The images of these grotesques embody the alienation in the relationship between man and himself and others. This paper, starting with Marx’s and Fromm’s alienation theory of human nature, looks into the images of the grotesques in >Ship of Fools< and explores the theme of alienation in modernistic literary works.
