备注

《苔藓》是加拿大诺贝尔获奖女作家艾丽丝·门罗的代表作之一。小说意蕴深刻,意象丰富。从叙事心理学的视角切入,对小说所呈现的自我与他者的关系、自我欺骗、差异冲突下的情感与理性三个层面的“错位”展开剖析,揭示文本深层女性面对感情与婚姻困境时,脆弱内心与弱势地位背后所隐藏的更为纷繁复杂的人物情感与心理。其中有女性的纠结困惑也有男性的矛盾挣扎,还有人物在错位关系下对于爱的信念与坚守,由此凸显了女性隐忍坚守背后宽容与接受的情感与人生态度,以及自我救赎的努力和对未来的美好希望。

Lichen, containing deep meanings and rich images, is one of the representative works by Alice Munro, the Canadian Nobel prize female winner for literature. From the perspective of narrative psychology, the paper explores three levels of disparity like “the Other” and “the Self”, the self-deception and the conflict between emotion and reasoning. It reveals the hidden complex emotions and psychology of the characters in the in-depth text and also women's vulnerability and inferior status when they are faced with the emotional and marriage trouble including females' confusion and males' struggle, and their faith and persistence in love under disparity of relations. The story thus shows the females' tolerating and accepting attitude behind endurance and persistence, and their efforts for self-redemption and the hope for the future.
