【摘要】：薇拉凯瑟是二十世纪上半叶美国最有影响力的小说家之一,素以描述早期内布拉斯加州的小说而闻名。在她的作品当中,凯瑟不仅歌颂了艰苦的拓荒精神,而且表达了对拓荒精神时代已逝去的惋惜之情。她的美誉建立在其高超卓绝的能力的基础之上,擅于捕捉地域特色以及运用精湛的工艺将清晰的散文风格和神话及象征手法的巧妙应用完美地结合在一起。鉴于国内外诸多学者主要借助女性主义理论来剖析凯瑟作品中的女性形象,未对其女性主人公安东妮亚的成长给予必要关注,本论文旨在去探索薇拉凯瑟小说《我的安东妮亚》中女性主人公艰难的成长历程。基于存在于美国成长小说理论中的四个基本成份:成长的主人公、引路人、伙伴及其顿悟,本文从有关成长过程的三个阶段分析了安东妮亚的成长:由天真到走向错综复杂的社会,由失去天真到遭受成长路上的各种挫折,由勇敢面对失意和羞辱到最终取得成长的顿悟与成熟。本研究通过运用成长小说的理论解读了凯瑟的作品《我的安东妮亚》,从而揭示出女性主人公艰辛的成长历程,反映了作者对女性成长问题的关注。该研究不但能够帮助读者更深入地理解该小说,而且会激起人们去深思促成女性成长背后的真正原因,与此同时,鼓励女性勇敢地追求自身的幸福和自我价值。
[Abstract]:Vera? Cather was one of the most influential American novelists in the first half of the twentieth century, famous for describing early Nebraska novels. In her works, Cather not only eulogizes the hard pioneering spirit, but also expresses her regret for the passing of the pioneer spirit. Her reputation is based on her superb ability to capture regional features and to use exquisite workmanship to combine clear prose styles with ingenious applications of mythology and symbolism. In view of the fact that many scholars at home and abroad have mainly used feminist theory to analyze the female images in Cather's works and failed to give the necessary attention to the growth of Antonia her heroine, this thesis aims to explore Vera. The female protagonist's difficult process of growing up in Cather's novel my Antonia. Based on the four basic elements that exist in American growth fiction theory: the protagonist of growth, the guide, the companion and their epiphany, This paper analyzes Antonia's growth from three stages: from innocence to complicated society, from losing innocence to suffering various setbacks on the way of growing up. From the brave face of frustration and humiliation to the ultimate growth of the epiphany and maturity. This study interprets Cather's works "my Antonia" by using the theory of growing up novels, thus revealing the hard growing process of female protagonists and reflecting the author's concern about the problem of female growth. The study can not only help readers to understand the novel more deeply, but also arouse people to ponder the real reasons behind the growth of women, and at the same time, encourage women to pursue their own happiness and self-worth bravely.
