高中语文教学论文 课文详解《悲惨世界》赏析

高中语文教学论文 课文详解《悲惨世界》赏析

《悲惨世界》赏析故事是以冉阿让悲惨的一生为主线,以法国大革命以后的十八世纪末到十九世纪初期为背景。

这部小说是法国社会的史诗,所涉及的人物无法一一列举,如此简单分析主要的人物,冉阿让、芳汀,珂赛特等。

首先是冉阿让,社会给予冉阿让只有不公平和对于冉阿让的迫害,原来冉阿让是一个有家和孩子的人,可是为了挨饿的外甥,他偷了一块面包,被判数年年苦役。

因为偷取了一个面包就被判刑五年,在服刑期间,不堪忍受非人的监狱生活他不断越狱,每一次都以失败和对于刑期的延长而告终,因此他将自己的半辈子花在了与这种不人道的社会和对于待遇的不满抗争上。

十九年后,因获得假释令冉阿让获得自由,可是出狱后已经找不到自己的家和自己的亲人,仍受警察的追逐,遭到社会的冷遇。

残酷的现实使他产生了对人、对社会的强烈憎恨,蓄意报复。

就在一切希望破灭的时候,冉阿让遇到了一个主教米里哀,这位主教唤醒了冉阿让的灵魂,这里面我们看到了雨果似乎对于宗教抱着一种人道主义幻觉,这种幻觉与《巴黎圣母院》中对于教会的幻觉和评判形成了鲜明的对比。

作者在写主教的时候仿佛脱离了教会而对于人性和人道的希望。

因为此时的主教米里哀已经不单单是一个教会的代表,更是一个人性和人道的代表,与其说作者对于宗教的妥协不如说作者对于人性和人道的希望与探寻。

出狱数年后冉阿让洗心革面成为了一个市长,并且实现了人道上的完美,对于苦难的同情和对于不幸者的帮助,可是这时候出现了一个妓女,这就是芳汀,冉阿让工厂里的一名女工,她有段坎坷的青春,在怀了男友的骨肉之后却被恶意遗弃,为了女儿的生活,只好忍下心把她寄养在蒙佛梅一位酒馆老板的家里,自己来到巴黎谋生并定时寄钱回去,但由于她有私生女的事被同事揭发,被赶出工厂。

当冉阿让看见芳汀最无助的时候,他伸出援助之手。

这就是人道主义最伟大的体现,也是人性最美丽的升华。

芳汀原本是一个工厂女工,原本有一段很美丽的青春,可是就在那个最美丽的年龄里,她将自己的青春和爱情献给了一个贵族青年,也就是自己当时的男友,可是那只是男友而不是丈夫,对于爱情的幻觉导致了芳汀的悲惨结局,最后她被男友抛弃了,可是她已经怀上了男友的孩子。

现当代小说鉴赏论文

现当代小说鉴赏论文

现当代小说鉴赏论文现当代小说鉴赏姓名:XX学号:XXXXXXXXX 说实话以前很少看小说,除了上课时老师会将那几篇外几乎是没读过其它的。

这学期我选了这门叫做现当代小说鉴赏的选课也是为了弥补一下自己在小说文学这方面的欠缺。

第一节课时老师就说了这个课的最后会写个论文作为评分标准,思前想后我还是决定说说鲁迅这个我们都比较熟悉的现当代小说作家吧。

首先对鲁迅先生进行一下简单的介绍。

周树人(1881年9月25日—1936年10月19日),男,汉族。

浙江绍兴人,字豫才,原名周樟寿。

鲁迅先生青年时代曾受进化论、尼采超人哲学和托尔斯泰博爱思想的影响。

1904年初,入仙台医科专门学医,后从事文艺创作,希望以此改变国民精神。

鲁迅先生一生写作计有600万字,其中著作约500万字,辑校和书信约100万字。

作品包括杂文、短篇小说、评论、散文、翻译作品。

对于“五四运动”以后的中国文学产生了深刻的影响。

毛泽东主席评价他是伟大的文学家、思想家、革命家,是中国文化革命的主将。

大多数同学都学过的鲁迅的小说,以前鲁迅先生曾去过日本去留学,学过医术希望用自己的双手济世救人。

但是鲁迅先生发现通过这种方法拯救的人太少,所以他才走上了写作这条道路,他想通过自己笔下的文字来拯救更多国人的心灵。

鲁迅先生真正的开始创作是以1918年5月中国现代文学史上第一篇白话小说《狂人日记》开始的,从此鲁迅先生走上了文学救国的道路。

鲁迅一生创作了很多作品:《呐喊》、《彷徨》、《朝花夕拾》、《野草》、《热风》、《华盖集》等等好多的小说和文集。

还记得那些铿锵的文字“真的勇士敢于直面年惨淡的人生,敢于正视淋漓的鲜血。

”“不在沉默中爆发,就在沉默中灭亡。

”唤醒了无数国人的心。

每当我读起这些文字都会感受到来自心灵深处的共振,那感觉真的很好。

生活方面,1906年7月6日鲁迅尊母命与完全没有感情基础的朱安结婚,个人感觉朱安和鲁迅都是不幸的,鲁迅考虑过离婚,但那个年代,人们依旧很封建思想很不开明,被休的女人是备遭人们鄙夷和唾弃的。

小说鉴赏期末论文

小说鉴赏期末论文

祥子被注定的悲惨命运——浅析社会正确信仰的缺失摘要:《骆驼祥子》的主人公祥子的命运从他踏进北平城的那天起就已经注定了,在一个充满着私欲、没有正确的信仰的社会里,任何的正常、上进的理想在这样的环境里都是找不到生长的土壤的,最终都会化为泡影,灵魂也只能在其中慢慢堕落和腐朽。

关键词:祥子;信仰;理想;堕落所谓信仰,即相信和仰望,相信所信之物的真实性,对其有所求,有所盼望,并相信它能给予自己所渴望的东西。

自小在乡间长大,不谙世事的祥子,在失去父母和几亩薄田之后便来到了北平城讨生活。

初出茅庐的祥子是“体面的,要强的,好梦想的,利己的,个人的,健壮的,伟大的”,一如初生的牛犊,不畏艰险,干劲满满的祥子认为城里跟乡间也一样,只要足够努力,就必然能闯出一片属于自己的天地。

他相信自己,相信自己能创造和得到自己想要的一切,这就是他的信仰。

年轻健壮的祥子很快就决定了拉车这么个行业,以“拥有一辆属于自己的车”作为目标,坚信着凭借自己的努力必然很快就能做大做强,最终拥有自己的车厂。

经过三年的不懈努力,祥子真的拥有了一辆自己的车。

一切都那么的一帆风顺,幸运之神似乎就陪伴在祥子左右,为他开路,所有的事似乎都在印证着祥子的想法,“人只要足够努力,就能闯出一番事业”。

然而这样的好日子仅仅持续了半年,北平城的安宁便被战争的硝烟打破。

因着想要赚取高车费而怀着侥幸心理的祥子冒险跑到清华拉客,突然出现在祥子面前的军阀让祥子措手不及。

祥子被抓去当壮丁,车子也被抢去了。

祥子这些年的努力成果,此刻就如烟花一般,短暂就绚烂过后,便又归回了死寂的黑暗,放佛从来不曾存在过。

不久前还是“触手可及”的理想就这样湮灭了。

祥子的心也有很大一块随着梦想破碎了。

祥子原本坚定的信仰被摇撼了。

努力了真的有用吗?侥幸逃脱军阀之手后祥子整顿了一下自己身心后,便强打精神回到了事业的起点——人和车厂。

祥子把身上剩余的三十块寄存在刘四爷那里,期待着积攒足够的钱,再一次拥有一辆仅属于自己的车。

经典文学作品欣赏论文

经典文学作品欣赏论文

经典文学作品欣赏论文第一篇:经典文学作品欣赏论文疯子与孤独者的悲哀《狂人日记》是中国现代白话小说的开山之作,以其内容上和形式上的现代化特征,开辟了我国文学发展的一个新的时代,可以说是五四新文学的一篇总序。

而《孤独者》是鲁迅短篇小说集《彷徨》中的代表作之一,通过魏连殳这个社会“异类”最终被“消灭”的悲剧命运反映了那个时代人性、封建礼制的残酷。

下面笔者将浅析两篇文章在主题、思想内容、人物形象等方面的相似点。

一、主题《狂人日记》与《孤独者》主要都以揭露和批判残酷的封建制度和传统礼教为主题。

《狂人日记》具有鲜明的五四新文化特征,表面上写“狂人”的被迫害妄想症,实际上笔笔触动的都是时代、社会、人生真谛的脉络。

《孤独者》或许正切合那句话:“错的不是我们,是社会。

” 魏连殳和“我”都是具有先进思想、要求改革和进步的“新青年”,却都遭到封建传统势力的迫害。

同时鲁迅通过叙事者“我”和主人公魏连殳的几次对峙,写出了自己内心深处的困惑:“对历史和现实的孤独者命运的考察,更深层面上展开的是关于人的生存状态、人的生存希望,以及人的生存意义和价值的思考与驳难。

”①二、思想内容在思想上,《狂人日记》和《孤独者》都表达了鲁迅的叛逆和不妥协精神,同时也有鲁迅自身的迷茫。

《狂人日记》以第一人称展开,通过“我”——一个“疯子”的视角观察这个世界:赵贵翁和他的狗,街边的小孩和女人,狼子村的佃户,甚至是自己的哥哥,似乎人人都包藏祸心。

然而看似疯狂的想法掩盖的是真实的黑暗,且这种“黑暗”像潮水一样渐渐涨高,从肉体上的“吃人”,到封建礼教对人的迫害,到来自麻木的亲朋的压迫,最后是自身也被毒害,丧失意志而成了“吃人者”。

这种悲剧性的结局和恶性循环反映了鲁迅对社会发展拘于困境的忧虑和愤怒。

而《孤独者》的主题与《狂人日记》相似,同样批判封建制度和传统礼教。

《孤独者》中魏连殳的短暂的一生是鲁迅塑造的一个更深刻沉痛的悲剧。

文章以旁观者的角度写魏连殳作为一个“异类”被人排挤,不但因舆论压力失去了原本薪水不错的职业,最后嗜书如命的他竟然不得不卖书维持生计,反映出封建社会传统势力对一个异端残酷的驱逐,一步一步地剥夺他的一切。

欧亨利短篇小说鉴赏 英语文学赏析论文

欧亨利短篇小说鉴赏 英语文学赏析论文

摘要: 作为世界三大小说家之一,欧亨利与契诃夫和莫泊桑齐名。

他的作品因奇巧的艺术构思,出其不意的结尾而著称。

本文以欧亨利的三篇著名短篇小说为例,主要分析了“意料之外情理之内”的“欧亨利式结尾”的处理方法,包括营造出人意料但又符合情理的结尾效果的不同方法,以及这样的结尾方式如何能更深刻的表达人物的情感与小说的主旨。

关键词:艺术手法,人性,社会现实,欧亨利式结尾Unexpected and reasonale ending——A Brief Comment on O’ Henry’s Short Stories Abstract: O. Henry, one of the three most famous short-story writers in the world, enjoys equal status with Chekhov and Maupassant. Exquisite plot, wry humor and twist ending dominate his works. Those surprising but logical endings are the most brilliant in all of the highlights. This thesis mainly analyses O. Henry’s surprising but logical endings of his famous works such as The Gift of the Magi , The Last Leaf an and The Cop and the Anthem.These O. Henry-style endings impress readers ,and at the same time ,help him express his ideas completely and vividly.So this thesis mainly analyses how O’ Henry set the plot to achieve the desired ending effect,and how the twist ending help idea-expression.Key Words:artistic styles; humanity; social reality; O. Henry-style endingContents1. Introduction (1)2. Unique O-style endingmethod (2)2.1 Improbable coincidence (3)2.2 Sharp contrast………………………………………………………………………42.3 Repetition and change (6)3. Conclusion (8)Bibliography (9)1. IntroductionO. Henry, originally named William Sydney Porter, is a distinguished American storywriter. He wrote more than 300 short stories in his life. His stories are full of colorful characters. He creates an original, typically American democratic form of short stories with, at its best, a valuable critical awareness of life and society tellingly expressed through humor. Therefore, some critics call him “the founder of American stories”. Being gifted with humor and a keen awareness of details, he objectively shows us what America looks like. All his stories putting together constitute a true panorama of American life.This thesis mainly emphasizes O. Henry’s unique twist ending.The ending of an article has long been considered as a conclusion or just a summary of the whole passage. However, O. Henry illustrates a new way, the so-called twist ending or sometimes the O. Henry’s ending. It means that at the end of an article the mental status or the fate of the character has changed greatly. But the whole passage is suddenly endowed with a great charm because of the ending. The author has your nerves all a quiver until the lastsentence. The surprise comes quickly and the story is finished. O. Henry is such a master of the unexpected ending that one must admire his skills. 2. Unique O-style ending methodO. Henry's trademark is the surprising ending that each of his stories contains. He sets a story moving in one direction, and just when the reader is convinced of the general direction of the narrative, the story will be completely reversed.This kind of ynexpected but reasonable ending which called O.Hernry’s ending may be a little sorrowful but it still gives the readers some hope,which is so-called “O.Henry’s humor(smile with tears)”. And if we look back to the total story, the ending seems logical and plausible. As a “plot-maker”, and designer of incident, he is an amazing genius. No one can do better than him to holds the reader in “suspense”. More than that, the reader scarcely knows that he is suspended until the very close of the story. Just as turns on the lights and the whole tale is revealed in its entirety. He uses this device of dramatic and humorous effect in the short story collection The Four Million which including “The Gift of the Magi ”, and “The Cop and the Anthem”, “the Service of Love”, “The last Leaf.”He often stresses on something important but not the most important in his works.The most important part always seems to write incidentally,which eben the most circunspective reader may ifnore it.When the stories end in a totally unexpected but reasonable way ,we can do nothing but cheer for O.Henry’s literary talent.2.1 Improbable coincidence (The Gift of the Magi)The novel “The Gift of the Magi” is about a young couple that is short of money but desperately wants to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unknown to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy platinum as the chain for Jim's watch; unknown to Della, Jim sells his most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della's hair.In the end ,both gifts became useless——short-haired Della got a comb and Jim got a chain for an already-sold watch.What a surprising coincidence! However, when we look back, we can find that O.Henry had already given us some suggestions.”Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim’s gold watch that had been his father’s and hisgrandfather’s. The other was Della’s hair.” This description is related to how they got the money for gifts and what they bought for each other. The auther used a casual and vague tone deliberately so that few people would think over its meaning before seeing the ending. So the ending turns out to be unexpected but reasonable.This coincidence is filled with complex emotions. People feel touched by the longlasting true love between the young couple and at the sametime ,pity for them for their “unwise” gifts and their cruel bitter life.Though confronted with cruel reality and dull daily routine, Della and Jim can never change their eagerness toward love. To them the most valuable material possession is so slight and insignificant ,when compared with the spiritual possession of love romance.Perhaps the gifts were "unwise" as the author says, but, as he further writes, "let it be said that of all who give gifts, these two were the wisest.”In The Gift of the Magi , we feel so pity that Della has her precious long hair cut. But to our surprise ,Jim has sold the watch to buy the jeweled tortoise-shell combs for her wife’s hair. O.Henry does not end on the note of irony and surprise but gives to what he calls his uneventful coincidenceof two foolish children the appearance of a little parable with a significant meaning. The magi , he reminds the reader ,were wise men who brought gifts to the Christ child. As for Jim and Della, the are the magi. This is the ending of the story with O.Henry’s own style.2. 2 Sharp contrast (The last leaf)In this story, Johnsy and Sue are artists who move into Greenwich Village in New York City. As Winter approaches and the weather gets colder, Johnsy becomes ill with pneumonia. She gets so sick that she believes that when the last leaf falls from the vine outside her window, she will die. An old artist, named Behrman, who lives in the same building as the girls, braves a storm one night to paint a leaf on the wall — a leaf that will never fall. Cold and wet from painting in the icy rain, he catches pneumonia and dies. This gives Sue the hope to survive her illness, and it also creates the masterpiece Behrman had always dreamed of painting.After reading the novel,we can find that Behrman rarely appears and O.Henry spent few words on him .We only know that he is a bad-tempered old painter. “He was past sixty and had a Michael Angelo's Moses beard curling down from the head of a satyr along with the body of an imp.”“Behrman was a failure in art”. Behrman earned little money by serving as a non-professional model and was a terrible alcoholic who sometimes “talked of his coming masterpiece”. He was “a fierce little old man, who scoffed terribly at softness in any one”.To be honest, Behrman was not a traditonal pleasing hero at all. He was fierce in personality , poor in money and untalented in painting.However, it is exactly him who saved Johnsy in a silent and artistic way——painting a leaf on a wall. This leaf gives Sue the hope of living, making her realize that: “It is a sin to want to die”.O.Henry did not tell how he helped Sue, how he painted his masterpiece and why he chose to do it deliberately but readers knew it from the conversation between Sue and Johnsy indirectly . Many details point to a truth that the old artist sacruificed his life to restore Sue’s will to live. All these things took place in a cold storming night and Behrman told no one about his plan. It shows that he did it not for praise, but just for saving a young girl.Behrman, given few show-ups and descriptions by the author , was rarely concerned by readers in early plot.Many people even think he is just an unimportant supporting role.But when we see the ending and know the truth, we find we were completely wrong. Behrman was a hero and a savior who did not only save a person’s life, but successfully saved an American dream for all the people who seek freedom and peace, connecting the social reality of that time.“The last leaf” is the symbol of hope, life and faith. Behrman seemed more alive than dead.This Sharp contrast strenthens the theme of love and sacrifice. Behrman’s behavior seemed more praiseworthy and inspiring after readers’psychological change . That’s what O.Henry wants to achieve. Though the touching ending makes us absorbed in sadness, the readers can still find gleams of hope and desire out of despair.2.3 Repetition and change (The Cop and the Anthem)In the story The Cop and the Anthem, Soapy, a homeless tramp, deciding to be sent to the prison on the Island which he called his winter quarter against the rigor and the hunger, attempted to practice several illegal activities for the purpose of “wooing capture”; but the cop, who stood nearby when Soapy was trying to attract his attention by his anti-law behavior, paid no special attention to Soapy every time, even “seemed toregard him as a king who could do no wrong”.Developing up here, the story must give the reader the conclusion that Soapy had to go back disappointedly to his home—a park bench. On his way, the sweet music of anthem from the church played by the organist and the beautiful moonlight scenery “wrought a sudden and wonderful change in his soul”, he made up his mind to “pull himself out of the mire”and “make a man of himself again”.Moving like this, the plot is not completely understandable at once. When the reader is puzzled about the use and meaning of growing plot, and just while Soapy was planning his tomorrow’s action for being “somebody in the world”, an unforeseen plot, and just while abruptly: he was arrested because a policeman thought him doubtful, and the next day he was sentence to “three months on the Island”.The story stops here suddenly in spite of the reader’s not immediate understanding. But after a moment of consideration, the reader’s surprise turns into admiration for his astonishing contrivance of tricky ending which reveals rigorously the real facts of reversal between truth and falsehood in capitalist society which confuses right and wrong.In this short stories, the plot develops as Soapy’s various anti-law behaviors being ignored by the cop time and time again. This kind of repetition may disappoint and bore readers in some degree.However, it’s exactly the highlights of the story. The more such repetition occurs the more confused and curious readers become. They can’t help wondering, “Why did all these happen again and again? What followed next? How will Soapy finally become?”and so on. Then there comes the change,which is also the climax——Soapy was inspired by the anthem from the church, but before he can truly make a brand new start in his life ,he got arrestted just because he looked like a criminal. With those repetitions in early times, the final ending seems so ironic and unexpected. Soapy seems more suffered being born in that rough-and-tumble age.3. ConclusionTotally speaking, in O. Henry’s works, the events of some short stories are arranged in the spe cific order which exceed reader’s normal expectation to the arrangement of those events in his works, make the ending unpredictable and strange. O. Henry deliberately designs the little tricks with words, for he is a master of language and not its slave.These unexpected but reasonable endings, in many conditions ,are the most remarkable parts in the novel. They also engage something profound in the human psyche and reflect sociel reality in that age . Bibliography[1] Medrick, Fred. An introduction to American literature[M].

毛姆短篇小说特色文学欣赏论文

毛姆短篇小说特色文学欣赏论文

毛姆短篇小说特色文学欣赏论文一以英国海外殖民地为背景,描写在海外的形形色色的英国人,是毛姆短篇小说的一个重要主题。

在毛姆之前,英国作家约拉吉卜林曾写过以印度为背景的长篇小说《吉姆》(1901)和不少短篇小说,但他颂扬的是为大英帝国争光的“英雄”,弱者得不到同情。

而在毛姆笔下,英国在海外殖民地的行政长官、传教士、法官、种植园主、军官、资本家等则都是嘲讽、揭露的对象。

他们或是伪君子,或是势利之徒,或是刽子手,或是诈骗者,或是懦夫。

同时,毛姆还揭示了海外英国人的空虚的精神生活,以及他们之间既相互利用又勾心斗角的微妙关系。

“在英国文学中,以奚落,揶揄,讽刺的态度勾画殖民者的形象,毛姆的短篇小说开创了一个先例”③。

《大班》、《雨》、《信》、《迫于环境》等都是表现这一主题的优秀篇章。

《大班》写一个外国侵略者在中国的发迹以及他必然灭亡的命运。

一个英国小职员来到中国后,飞黄腾达,不仅发了横财,还爬上了洋行分行经理的宝座,觊觎着总公司董事长的位子。

然而,他那骄横不可一世,志满意得只不过是外表而已,内心却充满了恐惧。

中国的义和团反帝运动,中国的苦力、乞丐,甚至中国的街道庙宇都使他胆颤心惊,坐卧不宁。

他预感到自己的灭亡,惊慌万状,最后,死在中国的土地上。

《雨》则是毛姆对宗教的否定和讽刺。

戴维森是个海外传教士,一个典型的宗教狂。

他依靠教会和当权者的势力,迫使土著居民信教。

如果不从,轻则倾家荡产,重则关进监狱。

小说着重描写戴维森企图使一个妓女汤普森改邪归正,皈依上帝,灵魂得救。

然而就在妓女灵魂“获救”时,这位所谓的上帝的使者却兽性大暴露,结果身败名裂,落得个死无葬身之地的下场。

戴维森的可悲结局揭示了宗教的伪善和虚无,是束缚人性的枷锁。

中篇小说《信》揭露出资产阶级法律的虚伪性。

主人公橡胶园主罗伯特克罗斯比的妻子莱斯利因涉及一桩凶杀案而被捕。

莱斯利的辩护律师乔伊斯在明知莱斯利是杀人凶手的情况,却处心积虑地为她辩护,收买证据,从而使莱斯利无罪释放。

中国古代小说鉴赏论文

英雄何路慰平生---从《虬髯客传》中人物品侠义英雄何路慰平生---从《虬髯客传》中人物品侠义摘要金庸认为《虬髯客传》是中国武侠小说的鼻祖。

《虬髯客传》中所体现的侠义精神一定程度上影响了后世通俗武侠小说,直至今日新派武侠小说都可以从中得到不少启发。

本文通过对《虬髯客传》中人物形象的分析,论述侠义精神的表现形式,并进一步分析侠义精神的实质和特点。

关键词:唐传奇武侠小说侠文化侠义精神儒侠正文1、前言:豪侠小说是晚唐传奇中最引人注目的一类,《虬髯客传》就是其中的名篇。

《虬髯客传》应成文于唐末,主要讲述了隋朝末年虬髯客、李靖和红拂女三人的故事。

李靖于隋末在长安谒见司空杨素,为杨素家妓红拂所倾慕,红拂慧眼识英雄,与李靖私奔,途中结识豪侠虬髯客,结伴同行至太原见到了李世民。

虬髯客本有争夺天下之志,但见李世民神气不凡,是未来天下贤主,于是把财资、兵法传给李靖,让他辅佐李世民成就功业,而自己远赴海外,另辟天地。

小说借虬髯客表达了这样的愿望:“圣贤起陆之渐,际会如期,虎啸风生,龙腾云萃,固当然也。

将余之赠,以奉真主,赞功业。

”作品的动人之处不是作为盛世挽歌的主旨,吸引人的是它所展现的豪侠之风。

作品中将李靖、红拂女和虬髯客描写的栩栩如生,这三位也被后世誉为“风尘三侠”。

三位主人公都是快意恩仇、豪迈绝伦的任侠形象,但真正能体现侠义精神高层境界的应是虬髯客这一豪侠形象。

2、人物形象分析:2.1对国家------侠之大者,为国为民《虬髯客传》的故事以隋末乱世为背景,其中即涉及到真实历史中的帝王将相又有纯属虚构的人物,虚实相生,被认为是“子、史附庸而承认有一定的虚构”的代表。

以乱世末世演绎侠客传奇,能形成一种广阔的历史视野,侠客们可达庙堂又能至武林,纵马江湖,出入江山,显得大气磅礴。

金庸的十五部小说中只有四部没有明确的历史背景,其他多以社会动荡、朝代更迭的时期作为背景。

这样的设置给了侠客们展现忧国忧民的儒侠风范的机会。

从政治关系上来说,虬髯客与李世民是争天下的对手,但虬髯客却能舍弃匡扶天下的个人理想,将为起事准备的巨额财富转赠,并退出逐鹿中原的舞台,换来一个清平的世界,这种“能舍”的“大仁”“大义”使他的形象迥别于同时代的其它豪侠。

艺术赏析论文:讽刺小说的话语文艺赏析

艺术赏析论文:讽刺小说的话语文艺赏析作者:何英霞单位:营口市中等专业学校精巧新奇的比喻看《围城》中的比喻,往往使人有出其不意之效果。

钱钟书先生很欣赏“似是而非,似非而是”的比喻方式,他认为比喻的本体与喻体应当“‘如’而不‘是’,不‘是’而‘如’”,“所比的事物有相同之处,否则彼此无法分辨。

两者全不合,不能相比;两者全不分,无须相比。

”书中的比喻往往在本体与喻体之间形成一种分裂,似乎本、喻体之间没有关联,但究其根本这种分裂不是完全的,还有一丝相连,这“丝”就是喻体与本体之间极为相似的那一点“精灵”,是形和神的巧妙衔接,因而引发读者对一定现象产生深刻的哲理思考。

书中描写日本侵略者用飞机轰炸方鸿渐的家乡︰“以后飞机接连光顾,大有绝世佳人一顾倾城、再顾倾国的风度。

”“倾国倾城”本来用于描写女人之美貌,如果用其夸赞美女则显得俗不可耐,但钱钟书却利用这个成语中的“倾”字,表现日寇飞机摧毁家园之野蛮狂妄,使一个普通的成语在特定的语境中立即脱胎换骨、光彩夺目。

广角深刻的多重比喻《围城》的精彩比喻多用两三个事物来喻一个事物,由一个相似点喻起,继而层层推进,使欲描写的人物、事体都更加精密、形象、具有讽刺意味。

这种多重比喻犹如机关枪的火力,以点连片,很有爆发力,有落地开花之效,使人不由自主地跟随这些多重比喻产生一系列的联想。

看大师笔下的沈太太“她眼睛下两个黑袋,像圆壳行军热水瓶,想是储蓄着多情的热泪,嘴唇涂的浓胭脂给唾沫带进了嘴,把黯黄崎岖的牙齿染道红痕,血淋淋的像侦探小说里谋杀案的线索。

”这里的“两个黑袋”很显然是之沈太太因年老而生的眼袋,先生将“黑袋”喻成“行军热水瓶”,又借助热水瓶保存热水的特征联想出“热泪”,最后从沾在牙齿上的胭脂大胆联想“血”,并将其比喻为“侦探小说里谋杀案的线索”,这一番多重比喻贯通一气,将沈太太虽然想刻意打扮自己却不懂修饰,以致浓妆艳抹、弄巧成拙的怪样呈现在读者的面前。

情景互融的比喻《围城》既有对人物肖像、行为的突出比喻,亦有对景物、事物、情境的比喻,显现了比喻修辞语言艺术的巨大价值。

这部小说以日常生活为素材,一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,生动地反映了保守和闭塞事情的英国乡镇生活。

小说发生在英国乡村,贝纳特家的五个女儿待嫁闺中,两位贵族先生的出现,民兵团的到来,给他们原本平静的田园生活带来了一些不平凡的意义。

小说开头那句“每一个有钱的单身汉,都得娶一位太太,这就像一条举世公认的真理。

”已经是脍炙人口的名句了。

小说中“母亲”形象的班纳特太太给人留下了深刻的印象。

作者将她描述为:“一个智力贫乏,孤陋寡闻,喜怒无常的女人。

她生平最大的事就是把女儿们嫁出去。

”的确,在一个男尊女卑的现象十分严重的社会中,班纳特家中只有女儿,没有男嗣,因而,班纳特家的财产不得不由班纳特先生的侄子继承。

这样致使班家小姐的嫁妆只有从其母亲当年的嫁妆中分得,嫁妆的卑微常常使的年轻的小姐们不得不选择通过婚姻来为自己将来的温饱作打算,自然会将婚姻视为金钱至上的买卖。

难怪郡里一旦来了一位有钱的绅士,班纳特太太便认定他为自己的准女婿。

贯穿整部小说的几个婚姻故事,既有关于伊丽莎白好友夏洛特的,又有关于她自己姐妹的婚姻,但仔细思考看来,这几个婚姻故事其实是为了衬托出伊丽莎白的爱情。

如夏洛特和柯林斯尽管婚后过着舒适的物质生活,但他们之间没有爱情。

柯林斯不仅为人做作、举止粗俗,唯一可取的便是溜须拍马之功。

但他可以继承班纳特家的财产,且自己有一份田地和一份牧师的俸禄。

在文中柯林斯曾很明确地说过自己结婚的三个理由。

小说鉴赏论文

摘要:金庸小说是当代最为畅销的汉语文学作品。

其作品均借助古代社会作为背景展开,所以充满了历史意识。

本文对金庸的历史意识和社会演进观念进行了理性的分析:从“讲史演义”开始,将金庸小说分为三类,继而渐次论及其历史演进观念中的革除暴政、反侵略思想和宗教、民族融合思想。

关键词:金庸小说历史意识现代意识前言读金庸的许多作品,我们都有一种相同的经验:拿起来就放不下,总想一口气看完,有时简直到了废寝忘食、通宵达旦、欲罢不能的地步。

他的小说没有看了头就知道尾的毛病。

情节曲折,波澜迭起,层层递进,变幻莫测,犹如精神的磁石,艺术的迷宫,具有吸引读者的强大魅力。

金庸既不重复别人,也不重复自己,他创作的15部小说,就情节设计而言,没有多少雷同的地方。

这同样非常难能可贵。

一、武侠演史今之论说金庸者,多谈其继承侠义小说传统的一面,而很少有人谈到他同时也继承了中国讲史演义的深厚传统。

这是一个研究视野上的阙失。

作为民间话语的侠义小说,一向重视演“义”,即使以包公案为核心的《三侠五义》也如是。

但因武侠“快意恩仇”的思维方式和“自我了断”的社会行为,已与现代社会的法治观念格格不入,难以表现现实社会的种种恩怨是非,必然会借助古代社会作为背景展开,这也决定了金庸小说里充满了历史意识。

曾有好事者罗列过金庸长篇小说题材的历史年代,其中最早的是《天龙八部》,取材于北宋,“射雕三部曲”为南宋,《倚天屠龙记》为元末,《碧血剑》为明末清初,《鹿鼎记》为康熙朝,《书剑恩仇录》、《雪山飞狐》、《飞狐外传》为乾隆朝,《连城诀》为清末。

所述虽多“查无实据”,但毕竟“事出有因”。

亦可见他确有表现中国历史的发展趋势的意图。

从讲史演义的角度大体而言,金庸的小说作品可以分为这样三类:第一类是依史敷衍,即按照历史走向和人物关系作为大框架,虚构主要人物故事穿插其间,如早期《书剑恩仇录》、《碧血剑》和晚期《鹿鼎记》描述明清时代的作品。

第二类是以史点染,即以虚构人物故事为主,而以历史的大框架作为背景,如中期《神雕侠侣》、《射雕英雄传》、《天龙八部》这一类描述宋辽金元时代的作品,其中郭靖等人守襄阳,是贯穿于《神雕侠侣》和《射雕英雄传》的重大事件。

Essay The Sexual Liberation of Early 20th Century

11121106 何姗 The Sexual Liberation of Early 20th Century In this semester, we have a course called “British and American Short Stories Appreciation”. By taking that class, I read three outstanding masterpieces. They are Story of an Hour, Araby and A rose for Emily. I found there is something in common for the three novels. Accordingly, I will compare these three novels respectively. In Story of an Hour and A rose for Emily, the heroes of the story are women. As for the another group, the theme of Araby and A rose for Emily are both included sexual desire and sexual fantasy under the severe social and religion atmosphere. By comparing these three novels, I find out some conclusions about the people’s attitudes towards emotional demands at that time. (1) Story of an Hour 1894, Story of an Hour was published. The novel tells us a woman who had a heart trouble heard the grievous news that his husband was passed away just now. From the text of Story of an Hour, the hero’s emotional line is from grief, exhaustion, peace, monstrous joy, her fancy, feverish triumph to extreme disappointment. We can easily find that Mrs. Mallard is never fully satisfied about her husband. She never feels to be loved, maybe. When Mr. Mallard was alive, she never enjoyed the pleasure of love from him. And now, the only man who has the possibility to fulfill her dream or desire has gone as well. I think that is the reason why she cried at first, for her dead husband, also for herself. Then, But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome. (P5)

She feels joy and excitement, which stands for not only the envision of

the new life but also the emancipation of her nature. She longs for the life which is full of pleasure, love and passion. After realizing her situation, she can not help giving free rein to her imagination. There would be no one to live for her during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending her in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. (P5)

How eagerly she wants her life would be and how deep disappointment

she lives in now! Then, she thinks the action is “no less a crime”(P5), which infers she suffers a cruel and miserable life. If her husband’s conduct is like a crime, then, she is the victim to bear all these unfair treatment. At last, when Mr. Mallard came back, she just disintegrated because all her imagination has fell through. All in all, in Mrs. Mallard’s age, She prefers inhibits her inner desire, which is to be loved, rather than expressing her feeling and emotional demands freely. What’s a tragedy! (2) A rose for Emily Nearly three decades had gone, in 1930, A rose for Emily was published. It is a story about a noble lady who “gains the perpetual love”. Emily lived with her father in her childhood. After her father’s death, she led a lonely life. Then, she met a charming young fellow and fell in loved with him. However, she murdered her husband (fiance) to own him. I think Homer Barron is just the sacrificial lamb of Emily’s emotional deeds. After Emily’s father passed away, she needs a substitute to appease herself. From the novel, I can not tell how much Emily loves Homer Barron. One the contrary, I reckon it is just the possessive instinct that drives her to date with him. Because Emily is a faded gentility and she believes she has a kind of privilege in the town, she believes she can decide anyone’s fate. In addition, Homer Barron is a total stranger from the north. He is full of energy, has a good sense of humor, and can be eye-catching among people. She can’t tell the differences between love and novelty. So, she just “fell in love with him” and brought some washing things for Homer Barron. But the emotion which Emily shows to Barron is not love, even not infatuation. Emily just wants to show the people that she can master the guy, which is a signal that indicates not only she has the ability to do anything she wants to demonstrate she is still powerful but also win the battle between North and South in her district to continue keeping the noble dignity. As for happiness and pleasure, they just not that matter. For the same reason, she murdered Homer Barron when he said “that he was not a marrying man”(P48). The crazy action is not out of love, but out of a kind of self-deceiving noble dignity. Therefore, she does not gain the sweetness of love, although she slept with her husband for a long time. And The body had apparently once lain in the attitude of an embrace, but now the long sleep that outlasts love.(P51)
