Rip-van-winkle分析华盛顿〃欧文是美国早期浪漫主义文学的代表,被誉为“美国文学之父”,是第一个为美国文学赢得欧洲乃至世界声誉的作家。
在作品中,欧文常常把美国的现实状况与欧洲的历史传说融合在一起,展现了一幅幅生动的画面。
《瑞普〃凡〃温克尔》是《见闻札记》中很有特色的一篇。
该小说以哈得逊河流域的一个小村子背景,讲述了一个神奇的故事:主人公瑞普〃凡〃温克尔脾气温和,天性懒惰,不事生产,“什么赚钱的活儿他都不喜欢,甚至是憎恨。
”经常遭到妻子的责备数落。
为逃避妻子的唠叨,他经常带着猎枪和狗到山中去打猎。
一天,瑞普在山中遇到一群古怪的老人在玩九木桩(some odd-looking personage playing at ninepins)游戏。
贪杯的瑞普〃凡〃温克尔偷饮了古怪老人的仙酒后酣然入睡(fell into a deep sleep)。
等他一觉醒来回到村子时,却惊奇的发现村里发生了天翻地覆的变化。
村子比以前大了;老朋友死于一场战争或者去了别的地方;妻子已经过世。
孩子们都已长大成人;睡觉前他还是乔治王的臣民,现在竟成了美利坚合众国的公民——原来他一睡就是20年。
在我看来,瑞普〃凡〃温克尔是个矛盾的人物形象。
一方面他虽然担负着养家糊口的责任,却一切有好处的劳动都深恶痛绝。
因此,瑞普家的田地是最糟糕的,杂草丛生,篱笆倒塌,牲畜乱跑,家人仅靠一小块玉米和马铃薯地勉强生活。
即便这样,懒惰的瑞普也不为所动,依旧无所事事、不事耕耘。
另一方面,瑞普这个对自家的农活儿不理不睬的大懒汉,却一反常态地对帮助邻居表现出极大的积极性。
比如。
无论参加村里剥玉米垒石墙的劳动。
还是给农妇们跑腿打杂,瑞普都有求必应.任劳任怨,乐而不疲。
通过明显的对比体现出了瑞普〃凡〃温克尔是个惧怕承担家庭责任的胆小鬼,永远长不大的小孩子。
其次,该作品采取对不同人物的描写以及采取不同视角的对人物的刻画,为读者描绘出一幅美国革命前的乡村美景。
