Superhero Complex Reflected in the American MoviesI like American ,American is a wonderful contury.so I like see American Movies.but I perfer to Superhero.because Superman is a heroA superhero is a type of stock character possessing "extraordinary or superhuman powers" and dedicated to protecting the public and has some visual characteristic (typically an outfit) that makes him/her identifiable. Since the debut of the prototypical superhero Superman in 1938, stories of superheroes—ranging from brief episodic adventures to continuing years-long sagas—have dominated American comic books and crossed over into other media. The word itself dates to at least 1917.[1] A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine . "Super-heroes" is a trademark co-owned by DC Comics and Marvel Comics.[2]Superheroes are authentically US-American[citation needed], spawning from The Great Depression era.By most definitions, characters do not strictly require actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes,[3]although terms such as costumed crime fighters are sometimes used to refer to those such as Batman and Green Arrow without such powers who share other common superhero traits. Such characters were generally referred to as "mystery men" in the late 1930s and 1940s period historians and fans call the Golden Age of Comic Books, to distinguish them from characters with super-powers. Normally, superheroes use their powers to police day-to-day crime whilealso combating threats against humanity by supervillains, criminals of "unprecedented powers" in the same way as superheroes. One of these supervillains is often the superhero's archenemy, although sometimes the superhero has a rogues gallery of archenemies. Additionally, superheroes sometimes will combat such threats as aliens and supernatural or mythological entities.Superman was the first comic book hero who had super powers. Superman can fly. He has powerful vision and hearing. He is called the "man of steel" because he is very strong. Superman protects innocent people from harm, fights evil and carries out justice.Origin :Spider-Man is a fictional comic book superhero published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, since his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962), Spider-Man has become one of the world's most popular, enduring and commercially successful superheroes and is arguably Marvel's most famous character.Identity :Peter Parker is introduced as a science whiz kid teenager from the Forest Hills section of New York City who gets bitten by a radioactive spiderduring a science demonstration.Powers :The bite from an irradiated spider causes a variety of changes in Peter Parker's body, giving him superpowers. In the original Lee-Ditko stories, Spider-Man has the ability to cling to walls, superhuman strength, a sixth sense ("spider-sense") that alerts him to danger, perfect balance and equilibrium, as well as superhuman speed and agility. In story-lines published in 2005 and 2006 (such as The Other), he develops additional spider-like abilities including biological web-shooters, toxic stingers that extend from his forearms, the ability to stick individuals to his back, better control over Spider-sense for detection, and night vision. Spider-Man's strength and speed have also increased beyond his original limits.Appearance :Spider-Man has had a few costume changes over his history, with three notable costumes -- his traditional red-and-blue costume, the black-and-white alien symbiote (later developed into a regular costume for stealth) and the technologically advanced Stark Armor costume designed by Tony Stark. In early comics and sporadically throughout his run depending on a given artist's interpretation, Spider-Man's costumeincluded webbing that extended from his underarms to his torso. Although the eyes of the costume are made of fabric, in some continuities the eyes will change depending on Peter's facial expression.Weakness :1) Lacking in directed training, a very large part of his combat ability is improvisation.2) He has no specialy made weapon.3) The girl he loved is always get into his way during combat and became hostage of his enemiesOthers :When Spider-Man first saw print in the 1960s, teenage characters in superhero comic books were usually sidekicks. The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring a hero who himself was an adolescent, to whose "self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness" young readers could relate. Spider-Man has since appeared in various media including several animated and live-action television series, syndicated newspaper comic strips and a successful series of films.。
英美文学的论文参考范文(2)推荐文章英国文学方面的论文范文热度:英美文学方面论文范文热度:英美文学毕业论文优秀范文热度:英式英语和美式英语的发展和差异热度:英国文学方面的论文热度:英美文学的论文参考范文篇2浅析英美文学作品中人文素养的社会体现人文素养主要由人文知识、人文能力与方法、人文精神三个方面构成,其中人文知识是社会价值理念的基础,人文能力与方法是整个人文素养的重要组成部分,人文精神是人文素养的精髓,决定人文素养的性质。
三者有机统一,相互联系,共同推动社会价值理念的进步。
英美文学作品是西方社会文明的产物,体现了西方社会价值理念与时代精神。
以英美文学作品为载体,探究其人文素养的社会体现可以充分地展现出英美社会的文明形式,帮助受教育者充分的了解英美文化的背景,进而为英美文学、语言等课程的学习提供基础前提,保障教学效果的进一步提升。
1.刻画生动的人物形象,展现人性的本质很多英美文学作品都刻画出一位或者多位具有时代特征的主人公形象,进而以人物的性格描述、人物的活动以及人物的结局来展现出整个社会的特征与价值理念。
这一基本的展现手法将当时的欧美文明直观的表现出来,通过不同的人物形象展现社会中各种角色,进而将当时的社会发展过程中的文化元素、文化创作手法、以及时代精神表现出来。
例如作品《哈姆雷特》中,作者就刻画出一为本性善良,信仰纯真的王子形象。
哈姆雷特相信世界是美好的,是充满爱的,坚信人类应当具备善良的品质和高尚的道德。
因此其复仇的使命本质上成为其去除黑暗、恢复光明的一次追求。
这一形象的人物刻画充分展现当时社会对美好未来的追求,无论现在的社会有多么的黑暗,无论追求美好未来的道路有多么的艰辛,人都会为了成就自身的高贵典雅、仁爱平等而不懈的追求。
2.创作生动的情节,勾勒出社会发展的基本形态以人为主体的社会发展是人文素养社会体现的最佳形式,英美文学作品往往会创作生动的情节,以社会的现实为依据勾勒出社会发展的基本形态,进而凸显人类文明在西方社会的发展。

学期论文学期论文题目:Epiphany in James Joyce’s “Araby”课程:英美短篇小说赏析学生姓名:***学号:************院(系):外国语学院班级:英语112班课程教师姓名:郭建学期时间:2013-2014-2(外国语学院制表)Epiphany in James Joyce’s “Araby”OutlinePart I .............................................The background of the storyPart II..........................................................The plots of the storyPart III..................................Analysis of the themes of the storyPart IV...........................................................................SummaryDubliners published in 1914, it is James Joyce youth to create a collection of short stories, is set in Dublin, vividly depicted in the early 19th century Dublin street life of the people with a variety of mentality, and also reveals in the social life is a kind of insensitive and lifeless. Araby is the third piece in the collection, vividly describes a child to obscure the romance of love and disillusioned pursuit. In the novel the most obvious feature is the spirit of Joyce use a novel insight to show character complex thoughts and feelings.Live in the North Richmond Street, a boy hoped to win his friend’s elder sister's heart. One day, the boy with a romantic idea to Mann’s sister, promised to go to the east bazaar and bring a gift for her. After uncle promised money, the boy for a few days have been thinking about girls and bring gifts for her. But on that day to the bazaar, uncle come homevery late, so when the boy arrived, market is almost closed. Only a few stalls sell things. Boys look at some of the goods, feel that they are very expensive, beyond his ability to purchase. The boy in Araby bazaar were disappointed.Joyce through the description of character moments of fine feeling right and vividly reveals a teenager's first love feelings. Everything is so simple and real, but makes the young youth conflict , beautiful, rambling, and at the same time the reader into the hero's inner world.Traditional psychoanalysis criticism, literary works is the author of the dream or something similar, is the symbol of the artist's unconscious fantasies, can reveal the author's writing attitude and psychological state. Work is the leading role of the writers the externalization of themselves. Therefore, in a sense, we can say "Araby" is Joyce’s childhood experiences and emotions, is the first love of Joyce.First love is usually good. This from the title of the article we can see the author's intentions. The word Araby contains quite rich. As early as when Napoleon conquest of Egypt, Araby became synonymous with romance in the Middle East, has the different region amorous feelings of Arab and the infinite charm of Oriental world. Joyce used it as a subject, and it is not only used as the name of a shopping mall, Dublin is more use of the name of romantic with good imagination space to us, also symbolizes the protagonist exploration and pursuit of the goal. He is toconstruct an ideal world.As a bold innovation, effective experimental modern writer. Joyce in "Dubliners" the stream of consciousness techniques has yet to use to describe characters.But he used a kind of novel and unique creative skills of the spirit of enlightenment to show people the wrong heald complex thoughts and feelings. Spiritual enlightenment, is a kind of sense of literature and the technique of sudden apparition, or the perception of the mind. Epiphany moments is man suddenly wake up at a time, to see their situation, realize the true meaning of life. Joyce is interpreted it as a kind of suddenly got the message just a fragment, but all contain the meaning of life.In the article the author finally has the description: Although knows the female traders is the only commercial instinct to care me. I still wandering at the counter of her before. Then I slowly turned around and walked into the middle of the hall. Let the hand of two penny coins land on a sixpence coins pocket, when I heard the voice of the lights out a passageway. The whole hall became dark.it is a stark contrast to the front of the boy’s mood.Joyce once again through the objective description of the protagonist movement and sensory, let the reader feel the boy's psychology is very frustrated, the performance of all of these are because of the hero in the moment to see their plight. Before this, lack of awareness of his surroundings, wanted to seek romantic thought.At themoment, the hero fantasies of Araby thoroughly burst.The boy pursuits of romantic love, actually to he experienced a self-knowledge of spiritual journey. Joyce used the technique of spiritual enlightenment not only vividly shows the subtle psychological change characters, and it also shows that such a harsh fact, namely in dead Dublin society, even the innocent children cannot get rid of the shadow of paralysis. In this novel, the hero is not a surprise to comprehend the spirit of enlightenment, but the character itself through gradually.Joyce did the hero of spiritual enlightenment orchestrated a period at the end of the novel, is the climax of the novel. In the hero when I feel the truth of life, the work here to a screeching halt, not only just right, the spirit of the protagonist's Epiphany left a deep impression on the readers. Also left a vast space for imagination to the reader.The hero found how to continue his life after the thing, he will become like the people around him, or continue to look for the ideal of his heart. All this to the reader to think, make the person aftertaste.Epiphany often needs objective corresponding motivation and cooperation, by a certain situation or certain events to arouse people's feelings. Our objectives correlative than what is stated here, imagination of Araby is my ideal situation, and realistic than stimulate the hero's heart. Made him not only to the Araby and it is for the whole of the world in which he lived with a fresh understanding. In "Araby" the boy was feelsabout their environment very numb, because he passed than events, the objective of stimulating pulled him out of their building suddenly pulled out in an ideal situation. In the dreamful place he heard the vulgar dialogue, make him feels there is no romance in his heart, here and the place where he lived as callousness, lifeless.James Joyce’s work is to explore the inner world of human beings. In the short story Araby, for those who help lend unique spirit enlightenment writing technique, through the hero to obscure the romance of love pursuit and disillusionment of tracing the process of writing, to the whole deep understanding of the society and the people for the whole period. In Araby, Joyce’s well written style is exemplified, as well as his deep thoughts. From the perspective of literary devices, Joyce employ “impressionism” and “epiphany” which are special artistic devices he hao applied in this story. The author discusses the plot, setting in Araby, and analyze the characters in it. Through a thorough study of Araby, the thesis is in order to push forward the understanding of Joyce’s purpose in writing the story. The discussion of impressionism and epiphany in this thesis is an attempt to focus the discussion on the story alone, combing the inner unity and integrity of this device, providing better understanding of the functions and management of such new innovation, thus a better understanding of the work itself.。

Abstract: One of Mark Twain’s most famous short stories Is He Still Living or Is He Dead contains many themes: such as the coldness and ostentatiousness, sacrifice and compensatory, and the importance of media. The whole story develops around these themes, which are the clues of the short story, showing mark twain’s writing style: hummus and satirical.Key words: is he living or is he dead, themes,satiricalI Introduce:Is he living or is he dead is an important short story written by American writer Mark Twain. The story is short but pithy, hummus, and satirical. Even though it was written more than 100 years ago, during the one hundred years, few people have studies it in the field of literature. One scholar has analyze miller’s life, and he think Millet’s fame are mainly made by medium.” pretending dead” brings him world reputation, but the dead miller can not enjoy the fame open and aboveboard, instead, he lives a lonely life. The author will try to expound this work through the three themes.II the themes in this story2.1 The coldness and ostentatiousness of the richMark Twain satirizes people in high class and the rich in most of his works. And this theme has also been expressed in his is he living or is he dead.At the beginning of the story, the writer tells us something he has experienced in the Riviera.’’ At this retired spot one has all the advantages, privately, which are to be had publicly at Monte Carlo and Nice, a few miles farther along. That is to say, one has the flooding sunshine, the balmy air and the brilliant blue sea, without the marring additions of human pow-wow and fuss and feathers and display. Mentone is quiet, simple, restful, and unpretentious; the rich and the gaudy do not come there.”Obviously, by these description, we can know that the writer stand against the ostentatious bourgeoisie. He looks down upon their vainglory life style, from these sentences and vocabulary, Mark Twain shows his satirical and ridicule attitude to the ostentatiousrich.In the ninth paragraph, by the mouth of Smith, the writer introduce us a philosophic story, which is written by Hans Andersen. It is a beautiful little story. Part of it is like this: A child has a caged bird, which it loves but thoughtlessly neglects. The bird pours out its song unheard and unheeded; but, in time, hunger and thirst assail the creature, and its song grows plaintive and feeble and finally ceases--the bird dies. The child comes, and is smitten to the heart with remorse: then, with bitter tears and lamentations, it calls its mates, and they bury the bird with elaborate pomp and the tender grief, without knowing, poor things, that it isn't children only who starve poets to death and then spend enough on their funerals and monuments to have kept them alive and made them easy and comfortable. The funeral holds for the birds show the sympathy of the children to the birds, but what is more important they are showing their possession Now, let us come to the four young painters, from their experience, we can see the coldness of the rich. Their works are perfect, and if they are not better than the famous artist, they are as good as them. However, there is no one who would like to buy their works even at a low price. But what is an irony is when Carl said proudly:’” I suppose you recognize that? Well, he taught me! I should think I ought to know my trade!” The man looked guiltily embarrassed, and was silent. I said sorrowfully:” You don't mean to intimate that you don't know the cipher of Francois Mill et!” Of course he didn't know that cipher; but he was the grate fullest man you ever saw, just the same, for being let out of an uncomfortable place on such easy terms. He said:” No! Why, it is Millet's, sure enough! I don't know what I could have been thinking of. Of course I recognize it now." we can see Carl use a proper sell method, and he know the human weakness of the rich, because they are always pretend that they are jack of all trades, but they are cheating themselves. These behaviors let their ugly face off.2.2 sacrifice and compensatory in lifeSacrifice and compensatory, this theme often appears in bible and Greek stories, in is he living or is he dead, the writer use this theme again.At the beginning, the bird died off hungry, but later its death draw the children’s attention and makes the children fell regret. This story pulls the way for the story of the four young painters.Carl, Claude Frere, Smith and miller are all artist with great talent, but it is a pity that they are all nobody. If there is still no one buy their works, they will be poor forever, and they will be facedthe fact that they will die off hungry. At this moment, how to survive became the most important problem they should overcome. After analyzing the famous artists’ li ves, Carl concluded a principle that all of them became famous after death. And what is satirical that they are poor when they were alive. Carl thought out a good method: he said “Yes, one of us must die, to save the others and himself. We will cast lots. The one chosen shall be illustrious; all of us shall be rich. Hold still, now--hold still; doesn’t interrupt--I tell you I know what I am talking about. Here is the idea.’’Finally, they sold the pictures and Millet become famous all around the world. They became rich, but all of these successes are based on the fact that Miller is “dead”, and he can only profit from his works as another name. But how can a person be happy if he can not live with his real name? The other three friends sacrifice their chance to be famous and their gift in drawing even though they live comfortable lives by Millet’s fame and precious picture and they needn’t pretend to be dead.2.3 The importance of mediaThere is no doubt that a good fame can bring huge wealth and profit. This piece of principle cannot be more proper for artist. Suffered by hunger and poverty, the four understand an important point: if one of them cannot be famous in the field of artist, they will not sell any picture even if they draw best.Carl deeply knows that our fame can be made except waiting for becoming famous after death. Therefore, each of them carried a dozen of Millet's small pictures, purposing to market them. Carl struck for Paris, where he would start the work of building up Millet's name against the coming great day. Claude and Smith were to separate, and scatter abroad over France. At first Carl draw pictures out of a rich man’s villa, and showed the man Millet’s works. The ostentatious rich man was not willing to admit his ignorance, so he bought one picture at a high price in order to show his appreciation ability. Later Carl sold one picture per day, and told others “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet's at all, for that man is not going to live three months, and when he dies his pictures can't be had for love or money."They also introduce miller by using the media efficiently: 'Every now and then we got in with a country editor and started an item around through the press; not an item announcing that a new painter had been discovered, but an item which let on that everybody knew Francois Millet”. Carlwas soon in Paris and he worked things with a high hand. He made friends with the correspondents, and got Millet's condition reported to England and all over the continent, and America, and everywhere. They did not sell any work of millet to make people believe that millet will soon pass away. Later, they announce the news that Millet was dead by media and hold a funeral. Millet’s works become precious things because of his death and fame.From their success we can conclude that fame is the most important thing to an artist, and this kind of fame cannot be separated with the advertisement of media. Carl knew this best, so he put up the plan and made it come true. From then on, their lives have been changed.III conclusionAs an outstanding work of mark twain,”is he living or is he dead? “It makes us to think about the coldness, ostentatiousness in the society. Why talented artist like millet live a dog’s life, but become famous overnight? The four artists’ experience shows a fact: we must sacrifice something if we want to survive in the cold and ostentatious society. No pains, no gains. What is important, we should build our fame by media even that we are talented drawer. Only by this way can we successed.IV Bibliography吕秀梅.《他是否在人间》的多重主题解读.文化纵横[J]2011(10)朱树飏.马克.吐温名作欣赏[M]北京:中国和平出版社,1995.薛梅,王杏娟,简海红,刘海平.英美小说选读[M]长春:吉林人民出版社,2008.。
欧美文学鉴赏本学期的欧美文学鉴赏,老师主要领着我们一块重新赏析欧美文坛的不朽之作。
有《简爱》、《呼啸山庄》、《罗密欧与朱丽叶》等。
其中我最喜欢的有《简爱》、和《呼啸山庄》。
《简爱》的作者夏洛蒂.勃朗特和《呼啸山庄》的作者艾米莉是姐妹。
虽然两人生活在同一社会,家庭环境中,性格却大不相同,夏洛蒂.勃朗特显得更加的温柔,更加的清纯,更加的喜欢追求一些美好的东西,尽管她家境贫穷,从小失去了母爱,父爱也很少,再加上她身材矮小,容貌不美,但也许就是这样一种灵魂深处的很深的自卑,反映在她的性格上就是一种非常敏感的自尊,以自尊作为她内心深处的自卑的补偿。
她描写的简。
爱也是一个不美的,矮小的女人,但是她有着极其强烈的自尊心。
她坚定不移地去追求一种光明的,圣洁的,美好的生活。
艾米莉.勃朗特曾在生活条件恶劣的寄宿学校求学,也曾随姐姐去比利时学习法语、德语和法国文学,准备将来自办学校,但未如愿。
艾米莉性格内向,娴静文雅,从童年时代起就酷爱写诗。
女人的尊严与爱——《简爱》《简爱》是一部带有自转色彩的长篇小说,它阐释了这样一个主题:人的价值=尊严+爱。
这是一本用自己的心与强烈的精神追求铸炼成的一本书,含着作者无限的情感和个性魅力,为女性赢得了一片灿烂的天空。
简·爱生存在一个父母双亡,寄人篱下的环境,从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇,姨妈的嫌弃,表姐的蔑视,表哥的侮辱和毒打......这是对一个孩子的尊严的无情践踏,但也许正是因为这一切,换回了简.爱无限的信心和坚强不屈的精神,一种可战胜的内在人格力量.在罗切斯特的面前,她从不因为自己是一个地位低贱的家庭教师而感到自卑,反而认为他们是平等的.不应该因为她是仆人,而不能受到别人的尊重.也正因为她的正直,高尚,纯洁,心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染,使得罗切斯特为之震撼,并把她看做了一个可以和自己在精神上平等交谈的人,并且慢慢地深深爱上了她。
他的真心,让她感动,她接受了他.而当他们结婚的那一天,简.爱知道了罗切斯特已有妻子时,她觉得自己必须要离开,她这样讲,“我要遵从上帝颁发世人认可的法律,我要坚守住我在清醒时而不是像现在这样疯狂时所接受的原则”,“我要牢牢守住这个立场”。

将文字转换为银幕上的画面,这样的变化,更有利于观众对原作中角色的定位。
女性角色,是文学作品中不可或缺的元素,是文学话题制造的永恒话题。

本文以一些经典的英美电影,对比那些英美文学作品中的女性形象进行了分析,包括对爱情的执著、自我价值的追求、悲剧色彩和独立自主的方面。
[关键词]英美电影;英美文学;女性形象一、引言女性角色,是文学作品中不可或缺的元素,是文学话题制造的永恒话题。
在诸多英美文学作品中,女性角色随着时代的变迁、社会背景的变化,也变换着不同的色彩。
从莎士比亚时期开始,直到19世纪末20世纪初,以英国、法国、美国等作家的文学作品为例,英美文学作品中的女性角色,开始展现出不一样的活跃程度,特别是随着电影产业的兴起,将文学作品改编为电影,更加有利于对原作中女性形象的深刻展示。
在这一点上,以好莱坞电影为代表的英美电影,以更加丰富的形式,诠释了电影视角下的女性角色新特点,其中对于女性主义的形象表现极为突出。
二、女性对于爱情的执著爱情,是英美文学作品中一直延续的格调。
无论是辉煌的史诗巨制,还是社会小人物的刻画写实,其中都有着爱情的主题。
在爱情面前,电影,或者说原作中的这些女性角色们,敢于为了爱情反抗传统,反抗那些看似坚不可摧的世俗。
改编自美国作家罗伯特的小说《廊桥遗梦》的电影中,弗朗西斯卡与罗伯特之间的爱情,突破了家庭与婚姻的禁制,两人的爱情在当时是一种被唾弃的行为,是对婚姻的背叛,对伦理道德的挑战。
在电影中,弗朗西斯卡在意大利长大,嫁人后随丈夫来到了美国。

早期英美两国为了满足殖民扩张的需要在世界各地大范围探索地理,经过很长时间的实践之后才发现了海洋,后人延续了前人的海洋探索道路,逐渐深刻地认识并开辟了海洋文化。
可以说,海洋文化是海洋文学的基石,海洋文学是海洋文化的必然趋势,两者是相互共存的。
(一)海洋文化与海洋文学海洋是茫茫无际的水源,海洋是生物生命的开始,海洋是辽阔天空的蓝色,这些都使人类的大脑思维中对海洋产生了敬畏之心。
在推动人类历史文明发展时期,海洋文化一直都是人类文化的重要组成部分,跟随着人类的发展而发展。
人类对于海洋文化的最早认知是将其定义为人类认知、开发、利用海洋的过程中,协调人与海洋之间的关系而形成物质成果和精神成果的总和。
人类通过挖掘利用海洋资源获得了生命,维持了正常的生活条件,对海洋也开始产生依赖之心。
由于人类大脑机能的提高,对于海洋的界定不再仅仅是自然的景物,而是人类文化的最早起源,是后期文化崛起的根本推动力。
因此,海洋文化具有开放、流动、浪漫、幻想的特征,极其崇尚奋斗、开拓和机遇,犹如海洋波涛汹涌般气势磅礴,这些都是导致海洋文学形成的主要因素。
20世纪90年代,学术界正式将海洋文化确立为一门学科,其内涵和外延主要包括以下几个方面:其一,以海洋为施展的平台,从而尽情展现人类精神活动和物质生产的所有作品均可以称为海洋文学作品;其二,以海洋为陪衬背景或叙述对象,进而反映海洋与人类自身以及两者之间关系的作品:其三,具有鲜明海洋意识和特色,能够展示海洋精神的文学作品。
(二)英国海洋文学的形成在英国的文化发展史上,文学创作者们借助于岛国的地理环境拟定文学思路,从而成为了文学家的想象基础,对于推动海洋文化发展具有显著影响。
Analysis on A Rose for EmilyA Rose for Emily by William Faulkner is a short fiction that has roots in the southern United States with appealing overtones of mystery that is told in a historical context. William Faulkner is one of the most greatest and famous authors of modern America. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949. The reason for his awarded was “for his powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel”. I think we can attribute some part of his success to th e use of the stream of consciousness. This kind of skill made his fiction more delicate and complex and he was famous for this skill as same as Marcel Proust of France and James Joyce of Ireland. It reminded me of my own experience of the travel of reading his fiction named Sound and the Fury. That idiot boy, he was one of the narrators in the fiction, made me confused because Faulkner used the stream of consciousness when he wrote that section. It indeed has high value in literature, but I must say that it really hard to read.1. About the plot of A Rose for EmilyEmily stayed with her father. She was the teacher of some children. She leaves an impression to readers that she was such a good woman. “Miss Emily a slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip, the two of them framed by the back flung front door."For about thirty years, her father was her only kindred, and he had a great influence on Emily. Maybe, she had nothing to worry about. But her father was a man who was proud, severe, tyrannical, and autocratic and regarded Emily as property. Because of his protest, Emily was still single when she got to be thirty. She loved her father even though he was so obstinate and autocratic. Therefore, when her father died, Emily could not accept the truth. She told the townspeople that her father was not dead and refused to bury him. She loved her father, and she did not want to separate from him.After his father…s death, she just stayed in her house most of the time, sad and lonely. This made us have pity on this poor single woman.Of course, Emily is a monument in men‟s heart. But it must be very difficult if she makes herself a monument also in women‟s heart.She killed the man, Homer Barron, who she once fell in love with. She put his body on her bed which was strewn with roses, so that he can stay with her forever. Sleeping by his side many years until her hair grew gray, her movements became slow, and she finally died beside him.She is beautiful, but cool, proud, and motionless as that of an idol. Every word she says is never doubtful or questionable. She just carries her head high and stares at you. That is what is called sublimity. This very sublimity she has is nearly arbitrary. She could defeat a group of men simply by sitting in her chair still.Those men love her, or adore her. In her funeral, they talked of Emily as if she had been a contemporary of theirs, believing that they had danced with her and courted her perhaps.But Emily paid no attention to those men; instead, she just closed herself in that big, squarish frame house.When people thought she was going to suicide, she married. Everyone seems to be very happy about it, but Homer never came out of that house any more. Sometimes people would see her in one of the downstairs windows--dear, inescapable, impervious, tranquil and perverse.Only after the second day of Emily‟s death, people could enter the very one room in the house above stairs which no one had seen in 40 years. It was a thin, acrid pall as of the tomb seemed to lie everywhere upon this room decked and furnished as for a bridal.It was in that room that people know how Emily managed to let Homer sleep in her bed all his life-arsenic-when she bought it, people thought she was going to suicide!This was indeed what Emily is about, kept him by her side with an arbitrary wayall her life.This was indeed a happy tragedy.A monument falls, and a rose appears.2. The view of A Rose for EmilyThe narration of the story 'A Rose for Emily' is told from what appears to be the point of view of a single person. However, the use of "we" in the narration suggests that this person is possibly speaking on behalf of the entire town, which is in line with the cultural character of the American South.Faulkner does not tell his story in linear fashion, but rather jumbles the sequential order. This technique builds suspense for the reader as the plot unfolds bit by bit. The reader must double as detective as each piece of the puzzle is revealed throughout the story. This writing style was not common during Faulkner's time.The major theme in many of Faulkner's stories, including "A Rose for Emily" is the Southern Aristocracy. Many of the same characters from the upper class appear in several of Faulkner's works. Point of ViewThe point of view in “A Rose for Emily” is unique. The story is told by an unnamed narrator in the first-person collective. One might even argue that the narrator is the main character. There are hints as to the age, race, gender, and class of the narrator, but an identity is never actually revealed. Isaac Rodman notes in The Faulkner Journal that the critical consensus remains that the narrator speaks for his community. (Rodman, however, goes on to present a convincing argument that the narrator may be a loner or eccentric of some kind speaking from “ironic detachment.”) Regardless of identity, the narrator proves to be a clever, humorous, and sympathetic storyteller. He is clever because of the way he pieces the story together to build to a shocking climax. His humor is evident in his almost whimsical tone throughout what most would consider to be a morbid tale. Finally, the narrator is sympathetic to both Emily and the town of Jefferson. This is demonstrated in his pity for Emily and in his understanding that the town‟s reactions are driven by circumstances beyond its control.3. Themes of the storyDeathDeath is prevalent, both literally and figurati vely, in “A Rose for Emily.” Five actual deaths are discussed or mentioned in passing, and there are obvious references to death throughout the story. The story begins in section one with the narrator‟s recollections of Emily‟s funeral. He reminisces that it is Emily‟s father‟s death that prompts Colonel Sartoris to remit her taxes “into perpetuity.” This leads to the story of the aldermen attempting to collect taxes from Emily. The narrator‟s description of Emily is that of a drowned woman: “She looked blo ated, like a body long submerged in motionless water, and of that pallid hue.” One of the reasons the aldermen are bold enough to try to collect Emily‟s taxes is that Colonel Sartoris has been dead for a decade. Of course, this doesn‟t discourage Emily — she expects the men to discuss the matter with him anyway. When the narrator returns to the subject of the death of Emily‟s father, he reveals that Emily at first denies that he is dead. She keeps his body for three days before she finally breaks down and allows her father to be buried. This scene foreshadows the grisly discovery at the end of the story. The narrator also mentions the madness and death of old lady Wyatt, Emily‟s great-aunt. Finally, the discovery of a long strand of iron-gray hair lying on a pillow next to the moldy corpse entombed in Emily‟s boudoir suggests that Emily is a necrophiliac (literally, “one who loves the dead”).The Decline of the Old SouthOne of the major themes in Faulkner‟s fiction is the decline of the Old South after the C ivil War. There are many examples of this theme in “A Rose for Emily.” Before the Civil War, Southern society was composed of landed gentry, merchants, tenant farmers, and slaves. The aristocratic men of this period had an unspoken code of chivalry, and women were the innocent, pure guardians of morality. For example, Colonel Sartoris concocts an elaborate story to spare Emily‟s feelings when he remits her taxes; the narrator states, “Only a man of Colonel Sartoris‟s generation and thought could have invent ed [the story], and only a woman could have believed it.” When the smell develops around the Grierson house, a younger man suggests that Emily should be confronted with it. Judge Stevens, who is from the same generation as the Colonel, asks him, “Dammit, s ir. . . will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?” It is also noted that Emily‟s father is from this same generation, an arrogant Southern aristocrat who believes that no man is good enough for his daughter.However, post-Civil War society in the South was radically different. At one time, the Grierson home was in one of the finest neighborhoods in Jefferson; by the time of Emily‟s death, “. . . garages and cotton gins had encroached and obliterated even the august names of that neighborhood.” The generation that follows Colonel Sartoris is not swayed by his old Southern code of honor. This is why the twentieth-century Jefferson Board of Aldermen attempts to collect Emily‟s taxes a decade after the Colonel‟s death. The reaction to the Yankee, Homer Barron, also serves to delineate the difference between the generations. The younger generation finds it easier toaccept Homer, while the older folks find his relationship with a woman born to old Southern gentility unacceptable. Emily‟s china-painting lessons also show the change in Southern society. Her pupils are the daughters and granddaughters of Colonel Sartoris‟s contemporaries. However, the narrator notes that “. . .the painting pupils grew up and fell away and did not send their children to her with boxes of color and tedious brushes and pictures cut from the ladies‟ magazines.” Finally, Emily‟s dark secret might serve as a metaphor for the general decadence of the Old South.Community and IsolationThe odd relationship between the town of Jefferson and Emily is a recurrent theme in “A Rose for Emily.” At her funeral, the narrator notes that Emily has been “. . .a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town.” However, Emily has very little to do with the townspeople during her life. Her father prevents her from dating anyone because he doesn‟t believe any of the men in Jefferson are good enough for her and, after his death, Emily continues to isolate herself from the rest of the community for the better part of her life. The only notable exceptions to her isolation are her Sunday rides with Homer Barron, her shopping trips for arsenic and men‟s clothing, and the china-painting lessons she gives to the young women of the town for a few years. These exceptions only serve to show how alienated Emily is from the rest of Jefferson.Although Emily is indifferent to the town, the town seems to be almost obsessed with her. The reaction Jefferson has to her relationship with Homer Barron exemplifies this obsession. The ladies of Jefferson are mortified because they think the relationship is “. . . a disgrace to the town and a bad example to the young people.” The older people dislike the relationship because they think it is bad form for a Southern woman to associate with a Yankee. The narrator pities Emily and secretly hopes that she will outsmart her cousins and marry Homer. These various reactions demonstrate an interesting conflict. Even though Emily views herself as separate from the community, the community still embraces her. They view her as “an idol in a niche... passed from generation to generation —dear, inescapable, impervious, tranquil, and perverse.”Analysis on A Rose for Emily姓名:高俊燕学号:2074070060院系:外国语学院英语系年级:2007级。

The studies of The Turn of the Screw are focused on the following aspects: psychological realism, gothic, psychoanaslysis,stream of consciousness, feminism, archetypal criticism and so on. This paper attempts to analyze the unreliability and James’aesthetic idea of humanity from the narratological perspective on the basis of related theory of unreliability.This paper begins with a brief introduction of the author and novel and the related theories. The body of this paper attempts to analyze the narrators of the novel and unreliable narration of the governess in particular. Nested structure is the narrative structure of the novel: the narrations of two outer narrators lead to the interior narrator’s story. This arrangement of narrators helps achieve the artistic effect of meaning uncertainty. As the innerior narrator, the governess plays an important role in leading to the various understandings about the ending. This paper tries to analyze the governess from the discourse and story layer, narrative blank and her background these three aspects. Her “dubious” language, behaviors and complex inner activities raise the novel’s ambiguity.This thesis has not only analyzed the narrative charm of The Turn of the Screw from the perspective of narratology as well as the factors that make the novel unreliable, but also prized the narrative charm of the novel in order to make readers get more brand-new understandings.Keywords narrator;narration;unreliable narration论文标题参考文献[1]Bal & Mieke.

Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring2; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition3of business. For expert men4can exe-cute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels5, and the plots and marshalling6of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth7; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules8, is the humor9of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning10by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large11, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies12, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that13is a wisdom without14them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute15; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
