试析詹姆士·鲍德温小说《向苍天呼唤》中主人公约翰的成长历程

发布时间：2024-05-11 06:51

　　本文首先对作者和小说做了简短的介绍,然后通过对主人公的分析来探究宗教、种族、身份认同、男性传统、父权等问题。并试图借此来引发读者对诸如生命、成长等永恒命题进行思考。 首先,论文通过分析畸形的父子关系探讨了约翰在宗教压迫之下的身份。在小说《向苍天呼唤》中,父权制使人与人的关系扭曲。爱的异化使父子关系演变为彼此间的敌视和仇恨。其次通过分析寻找自我探讨约翰的成长。异化的爱虽具有摧毁的力量,但在约翰的努力之下得以回归。自信的回归是在约翰超越自我和找回真正自我之后爱的体现。最后,需要指出的是,约翰要在家庭和社会中找到属于自己的位置,仍将面临较大的挑战。生活永远不会成功,它只是一个过程;个人生活一直在毁灭和保全中摇摆不定。约翰必须唤醒那已被逐渐忘却的爱,对爱进行新的审视。
