A Rose For Emily(献给艾米丽的玫瑰花)

A Rose For Emily(献给艾米丽的玫瑰花)

试析《纪念爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》中的时间艺术与死亡主题摘要美国杰出的现代小说大家威廉·福克纳的短篇小说《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》运用了时序颠倒与循环叙事的独特艺术手法,从而展示了现代主义小说中关于时间艺术的理解和运用。

而福克纳更是将自己的时间观贯彻到了整篇小说的创作中,并在死亡主题这一特殊形式的的叙述中得到了深刻的体现。

关键词《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》时间死亡威廉·福克纳最负盛名的短篇小说《纪念爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》讲述了一位没落的南方贵族小姐亲手杀死自己的爱人,然后陪伴其尸身并在古屋中隐居四十之久的具有哥特式神秘、恐怖意味的故事。

南方淑女爱米丽小姐是旧贵族的象征,对于她的纪念是作为南方作家的福克纳对于逝去的旧南方的无限缅怀之情。

但另一方面,爱米丽的最终死亡也喻示了一座纪念碑的倒下,表明了作者对于最终湮没的南方社会既眷念热爱又批判其沉沦罪恶的矛盾心态。

时间,在传统现实主义小说的叙事中往往呈线性发展,“故事和情节小说遵循着时间的线形关系、事件的连锁关系体现为一种因果关系和时间上的线性顺序,任何外部事件都依赖于这样一种时间的线性关系”。

①在《纪念艾米丽的一朵玫瑰花》这篇小说文本当中,我们很容易发现它的最大艺术特色就是时序的颠倒与循环叙事。

小说以爱米丽之死为叙述的起点,站在杰斐逊镇居民的视角上进行叙事,作者以倒叙的手法描述了爱米丽生前的几个主要事件。

在颠倒的时间顺序中,首先叙述的是爱米丽拒绝纳税事件,然后是富有神秘气息的尸臭事件,接着作者却把时间往过去推进,则出现了父亲之死,再接下来的与北方工头荷默恋爱及他与爱米丽发生冲突后爱米丽去购买砒霜,紧接下来荷默的消失与爱米丽小姐长达四十年的隐居生活之谜在小说的最后一部分终于被揭开。

古屋中楼上的房间中竟然躺着死去了四十年的荷默,“那尸身躺在那里,显出一度是拥抱的姿势,但那比爱情更能持久,那战胜了爱情的煎熬的永恒的长眠已经使他驯服了。

”②更让人心惊的是尸身旁边的枕头上遗留了爱米丽小姐的“一绺长长的铁灰色头发”。

• Another aspect of the Southern Gothic style is appropriation and transformation. Faulkner has appropriated the image of the damsel in distress and transformed it into Emily, a psychologically damaged spinster. Her mental instability and necrophilia恋 尸癖 have made her Southern Gothic heroine.
• It reflects the decline of the southern society. In this background, due to the restriction of the traditional ideas, some people are imprisoned in the past and ignore the passage of time.
• 门砰地一下踹开了,顿时屋里好像弥漫着灰尘。房间好像 曾是一间装饰一新旳新房,如今如坟墓一般发出淡淡旳、 呛人旳气味,到处渗透出阴森森气氛:褪色了旳玫瑰色窗 帘,阴暗旳玫瑰色灯光,梳妆台,一排精细旳水晶饰品, 还有白银底色旳盥洗用具,但是白银制品已经失去旳光泽, 连刻在上面旳笔迹也都看不清了。其中有一条硬领和领带, 好像是从身上取下来旳,然后提起来,在台面上留下淡淡 旳月牙形尘埃痕迹。椅子上挂着一套精心折叠旳衣服;椅 子下是两只寂寞旳鞋子,还有一双丢弃旳袜子。
【原文解读】
• 此段对爱米丽旳卧室环境进行了细节描写。文学 作品中一切环境描写都具有一定旳意图,此段描 写也烘托出一种悲情气氛,并点出小说旳主题: 玫瑰(—爱情—婚姻—死亡)(171)。此处是整篇 小说中玫瑰唯一出现旳地方。

A Rose for EmilyWilliam Faulkner【故事梗概】爱米莉•格瑞尔生死了,镇里的人都参加了她的葬礼。

男人们出于敬慕,而大多数女人则出于好奇,她们想进死者生前的屋子里去看看,因为那屋子除了一个黑人男仆外,至少已经有10年没有任何人进去看过了。

30年前,爱米莉小姐的父亲去世,当时,爱米莉小姐已三十出头。

当年夏天,镇里要铺人行道,负责该项目的工头是个北方佬,名叫荷默•巴隆。

荷默来后不久,每个星期天,人们都可以看到他和爱米莉小姐一起,驾着轻便马车出游。

镇上的妇女们认为,爱米莉小姐的行为是全镇的耻辱,给青年人树立了不良榜样。

后来,有人说爱米莉小姐去过首饰店,买过全套男装和卫生洁具。

于是,镇里的人传说他们要结婚了。

再后来,有人看见爱米莉小姐去过药店,卖过砒霜。

人行道铺设竣工后,荷默离开了小镇,后来又回来过一次了。

那是一天黄昏时分,有人看见是黑人男仆为荷默开的门。

不过,那是人们最后一次见到荷默。

从那以后,有好长一段时间,人们再也没有看到过爱米莉小姐。

等镇里的人再见到她时,她已经发福,头发也灰白了。

此后,爱米莉小姐很少外出,家里只有一名男仆帮她收拾房子。

不久,她家向外散发着一股难闻的气味,左邻右舍都在抱怨。

最后,参议员和镇里的几位长者召开会议,决定派几个人到她家消除气味。

黑夜里,这些人像夜盗一样,在她家住宅周围四处撒石灰。

从此以后,难闻的味道是没有了,但人们却很难见到爱米莉小姐。

年复一年,那黑人仆人的头发也白了,腰也弯了。

他依然提着购物蓝进进出出。

镇里每年12月份向爱米莉家寄税单,但总是被退回来。

人们只是偶而在楼下的一个窗口看见过爱米莉小姐的身影。

74岁那年,爱米莉小姐在楼下的一个房间里去世了。

黑人男仆在前门迎接前来送葬的第一批女子,随后他穿过屋子,从后门走了出去,从此不见了踪影。

人们知道楼上有个房间,但40年来从没有人进去过。

爱米莉小姐下葬后,人们撬开了楼上房间的门,发现里面到处是灰尘。

The mayor remitted her taxes, invented a tale to the effect that Miss Emily's father had loaned money to the town.When the next generation had grown up, they dissatisfied with that decision. They mailed her a notice without reply. They wrote again to call her. Then the mayor offered to call her, and only to receive that she no longer went out at all.A deputation came to her house which no visitor had passed many years. They were admitted by the old Negro. It smelled of dust and disuse. The leather was cracked, and it was dus ty. It’s an old house furnished with old things.She was a small, fat woman, pallid hue. And she refused the taxes.After her father's death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all.Some neighbors complained about the smell from her house, but the mayor thought nothing serious. And the situation became worse and worse.Four men crossed Miss Emily's lawn and slunk about the house like burglars. They broke open the cellar door and sprinkled lime there, and in all the outbuildings. After a week or two the smell went away. When her father died, the house was left to her. People were glad that she had become humanized.She refused to admit her father’s death. We did not say she was crazy then. She has been sicken for a long time.The town had just let the contracts for paving the sidewalks, and in the summer after her father's death they began the work, foreman named Homer Barron.At first we were glad that Miss Emily would have an interest.She carried her head high enough--even when we believed that she was fallen. Like when she bought the rat poison. That was over a year after they had begun to say "Poor Emily," and while the two female cousins were visiting her.Emily went to buy some poison.We all said, "She will kill herself"; and we said it would be the best thing. When she had first begun to be seen with Homer Barron, we had said, "She will marry him."Then some of the ladies began to say that it was a disgrace to the town and a bad example to the young people. The ladies thought some methods, but it doesn’t take effect. Then we were sure that they were to be married.Homer Barron departed and got back in town. A neighbor saw the Negro man admit him at the kitchen door at dusk one evening. And that was the last we saw of Homer Barron. The Negro man went in and out with the market basket, but the front door remained closed. For almost six months she did not appear on the streets.When we next saw Miss Emily, she had grown fat and her hair was turning gray. During the next few years it grew grayer and grayer.From that time on her front door remained closed, when she was about forty, during which she gave lessons in china-painting. The daughters and granddaughters of Colonel Sartoris' contemporaries were sent to her to learn. Meanwhile her taxes had been remitted.Then the newer generation became the backbone and the spirit of the town, they did not send their children to her. Miss Emily alone refused to free postal delivery.Daily, monthly, yearly we watched the Negro grow grayer and more stooped, going in and out with the market basket.And so she died, with only a doddering Negro man to wait on her. We had had no information about her for many years.The Negro walked right through the house and out the back and was not seen again.They held the funeral on the second day, with the town coming to look at Miss Emily funeral.There was one room in her house which no one had seen in forty years, and which would have to be forced. To our surprise, the man himself lay in the bed. Then we noticed that in the second pillow was the indentation of a head. One of us lifted something from it, we saw a long strand of iron-gray hair.。

aroseforEmily写作技巧分析A Rose for Emily------Writing TechniqueA Rose for Emily is one of the most famous works written by Faulkner. He is expert in time reversed.The first time I went through this article, I thought the order of plots is out of logic because it wasn’t established in time of something. It seemed that the author wrote down the stories according to which story came into his mind first. However, after reading the article again with the help of my teacher, I got a better understanding of why the author established it in that way. It was deliberate of the author to do so.There are all the plots.1.Miss Emily died and the whole town went to her funeral.2.She didn’t want to pay the tax so she got into trouble with the new mayor.3.Her house gave off a bad smell. The mayor had to send four men to sprinkle lime in the cellar. It was two years after her father’s death and a short time after her sweetheart had deserted her. Later, we knew that the smell came from the dead body of……4.She refused to bury her father’s dead body until three daysafter his death.5.She fell in love with Homer regardless of others’ discussion and criticism.6.She bought poison in the drug store.7.It seemed that she was going to marry the Yankee. However, he disappeared without any trace.8.She gave lessons in china-painting for six or seven years when she was about forty. Save for that, she seldom showed up.9.Since then, she never went out until she died silently in her seventy’s.10.People found the skeleton of the missing Homer.The story ended. I felt surprised and scared. However, I have to say that the ending is beyond expectation but reasonable, since the author did adequate foreshadowing for it.So, the whole story was ordered according to people’s memories. Although it may be enological, it really left me a deep impression.I think it is exactly how this kind of writing technique works and what time reversed works for.PS (something that is not about the writing skills):In my opinion, it is wrong and stupid to keep those who don’t love us but we love around us forcefully. If I really love him, the only thing I want about him is to make sure that he is happy. I don’tmind he loves me or not. Over-love can also be hurtful.。

A-Rose-for-Emily-完整版译文备课讲稿

一、爱米丽·格利尔逊小姐走了,全镇的人都去送葬:男人们是出于敬慕之情,因为一座丰碑倒塌了;女人们大多出于好奇之心,都想到爱米丽屋里看个究竟。

除了一个园丁兼厨师的上了年纪的男仆外,至少已经十年都没有人进去看过了。

那是一幢曾经漆成白色的方形大木屋,圆圆的顶阁,尖尖的塔顶,涡形花纹的阳台,尽显出浓浓的七十年代轻松愉快的风格。

房屋所在的街道曾经是全镇最为繁华之地。

但这里早已被附近的汽修厂和扎棉机侵占了,就连那些庄严的名字也被吞噬得一干二净;岿然不动的,只有爱米丽小姐的房子,虽有破败之势,却依然显得执拗不训,风韵犹存,与周围的四轮棉花车和汽油泵一样,太过碍眼了。

如今爱米丽小姐也进入了那些具有代表性的庄严的名字行列之中,他们长眠在雪松环拥的墓地里,那是南北战争时期杰斐逊战役中阵亡的军人之墓,有的是南方军人,有的是北方士兵;有的是高职位,有的是无名氏。

生前,爱米丽小姐代表着一个传统、一种职责;她既是人们关注的目标,也是全镇传承下来对她应尽的义务,这种义务是从一八九四年开始的,当时的镇长萨特里斯上校——还颁布了一道命令:严禁黑人妇女不系围裙上街——豁免了她各种税款;这种特惠政策从她父亲去世之日开始,一直到她不在人世之时为止。

这并不是说爱米丽爱占人们的便宜,而是萨特里斯上校编造了一套不清不楚的瞎话,说什么爱米丽的父亲曾贷款给镇政府,而镇政府,作为交易,以这种方式偿还。

这种瞎话,只有萨特里斯上校那一代人以及像他那样的脑袋的人才瞎编的出来,也只有女人们才会相信这种瞎话。

到了第二代人,他们当上了镇长和议员,思想更加前卫,便对这种免税约定产生了一丝不满。

那年元旦,他们寄给她一张纳税通知单,可是到了二月,依然没有回信。

他们给她发了一封公函,要她方便时到镇治安办公室去一趟。

一周后,镇长亲自书函一封给她,表示愿意登门拜访,或派车接她;镇长得到的回信却是一张便条,字是写在一张古香古色的信笺上,书法流利,字迹纤细,墨迹已干,大意是说,她根本不再外出。

A rose for EmilyThis story happens after the American Civil War, in Jefferson Town. It’s a story about an eccentric spinster named Emily Grierson whose marriage is totally manipulated by her father. Two years after her father’s death, poor Emily is acquainted with a northerner called Homer Barron, a day laborer and she falls in love with him. However, their relation is short-lived as Homer becomes tired of her and intends to get rid of her. In order to keep Homer at hand, Emily kills him with arsenic and “obtain” him, thus, she sleeps with his corpse for decades. This is the truth that villagers find after her death. From my own perspective, this masterpiece reflects the decline of the southern society and reveals the conflicts between the two different value systems and two societies after the American Civil War. Then, I will explain my opinions from the following three aspects: character, symbol and setting.Emily is an embodiment of the south, the old and tradition. At the very beginning of this story, the writer recounts the decoration of her house which is still 1870s style, isn’t change any more. Besides, she is also obstinate. When the new government compel the taxes on her,she refuses to pay the tax and even ridiculously mentions a colonel who has been dead almost ten years. Another example is that she prevents people from installing mail-box on the wall. She keeps the traditional views all the long,but resists to change anything. However, poor Emily is a determined woman. Regardless of people’s criticism, she insists on marrying a northerner whose social position is apparently lower than her. It is known that in that period of time, hierarchy is prevailing and deep-rooted through out the society. It particularly has a profound influence on marriage. When someone chooses a partner, he or she must consider the social position of the other party to the marriage. However, Emily chooses to disobey the convention and challenges tradition. Given this situation, her failure is quite expectable. However, she cannot get rid of the shackles of the Southern conventions. After all, she captures her lover in her own way and the love is treated with honor.Her father, the old Grierson, is also an incarnation of the South, patriarchy and tradition. He was very fastidious about her daughter’s marriage and drove away every man who caught the fancy of her. “When she got to thirty and was still single”. Obviously, both her body and mind are enslaved by her father’s traditional concept. Therefore, she feels released when her father is dead, and there is no “trace of grief on her face”.In this novel, Emily symbolizes the South, old and tradition, the Yankee represents the North, new and modern. Both young guys might be interested in each other when they first meet. But they possess altogether different values or concept of lives. So they inevitably separated before long. The conflict between the two partners symbolizes the conflict between the South and the North. And the absurd murder aggravates the contradictions.The “Rose”, that is never mentioned in this novel, is always interpreted conventionally as a symbol of love. It might be used as the love Emily gets from her lover. But in my opinion the rose mainly represents decay and death. At the time the villagers went to her room and found the valance curtains of faded rose color and the rose-shaded lights in the room. Actually, the author plays a trick on Miss Emily. In fact, she doesn’t really get any love from any man whether it is from her lover or her father. Emily could have a favorable marriage but for her father’s interference. She could have got her deserved love from Homer. But on account of her obstinacy and pride, she receives tiredness and indifference, instead of affection---rose, from him. Thus, as an outsider, the author or the villagers, they give a rose as a tribute to Emily. Besides, the rose also stands for the author’s and villager s’pity, sympathy and lament for Emily, whose mind is imprisoned in the past and fails to adapt to the change. What’s more, the author, “William Faulkner objectifies his complicated and emotionalinvolvement in the South and in the people who grow up and live there ever since”.The story teller begins his story when it is post-civil war. In Jefferson Town, in the South, which is defeated by the North, everything including concept and some sense of value is gradually replaced by the new concepts from the North. In this background, due to the restriction of the traditional ideas, some people are imprisoned in the past and ignore the passage of time. And Miss Emily is one of them. The whole story is set in Emily’s house. But the story has a time span of over two scores. Her house is depicted as old but grand. Seen from the outside, the house is really outdated and is not in accord with other residential buildings—it’s really an eyesore. The house perfectly mirrors Emily’s isolation from the outside world. From the inner decoration of her house, everything is covered with dust and the air is humid. Besides,there is a crayon portrait of Miss Emily’s father. The description of the house paves a way for the development of scenario. As a reader, I might feel ghastly. Therefore, it’s conceivable that the spine-chilling story happens there. At the end of the story, out of curiosity, people go into her chamber,seeing faded rose color curtains, the rose-shaded lights and delicate array of crystal and the man's toilet things backed with tarnished silver. The whole room speaks the life Emily goes through and indicates the decay of the Southern aristocrat.When I finished reading the story, a sincere sympathy emerges in my mind. Emily is totally a tragedy of the old traditions. She is a prisoner of the past, of the social and moral taboos of the South. Not only because she is purely a woman, but also the stubborn conventions manacle her that result in her frustrated life. Even so,she could have a better life after her father’s death. However, she doesn’t get out of the tower her father built for her. On the contrary, she builds another one, and locks her soul. In our daily life, everything is changing everyday. As an individual, we can only adapt ourselves to the protean environment and should learn to accept new things. Only when we keep learning everyday can we survive in this world which is full of competition.2.艾米丽是一个体现了南方,旧传统。
