His skin is not healthy, the lack of a natural pigment, if he was cut, perhaps even the flow of blood is white. 他的皮肤是不健康的，缺少了自然的色素，如果他被刀割了 以后，可能连流出来的血也是白的。（《艰难时世》） He doesn‘t have much hair, you probably thought it was because he talked too much and makes hair turn away, leaving it a bit disorganized and pricked up, also because of his strong wind wafted, put them into the same. 他没有多少头发，你可能以为是由于他谈话谈得太多而把头 发谈掉了，剩下来的那一点儿杂乱无章地竖了起来，也是由 于他那大风似的吹劲儿，把它们吹成那个样子的。 （《艰难时世》）

• His work has been praised for its mastery of prose and unique personalities, though the same characteristics prompted others to criticize him for sentimentality and implausibility.

Father John Dickens
Spent too much money entertaining and retaining his social position
By 1857, the Dickens' marriage was allegedly a loveless one when he met the blonde and attractive 18-year-old Shakespearean actress, Ellen Ternan. He was 45. His public image would have been ruined if any reports of his extramarital affair were published. After all, he was a literary hero whose novels depict family life as a moral ideal.

加强了政治性，他塑造了一系列控制社会经济和 政治命脉的资产阶级形象和官僚机构
思想中抑郁的一面有所增强，反映在创作上，乐 观笔调大大削弱，善仍占胜了恶，但经历了一个 曲折的过程，正面主人公仍然有较好的结局，而 达到这个结局的过程不仅饱受折磨而且需要付出 一定的有时甚至是惨重的代价。
在艺术上，情节更加繁复 ，大量运用悬念 ，这 使作品具备了最早的侦探小说特征
奥列弗、费金、布朗洛、南希、罗斯小姐、 蒙克斯
主人公从流浪奋斗到幸福圆满的结局这样 一种情节结构方式，成了狄更斯以后创作 的大部分小说的叙述模式。
《老古玩店》（1841）
使“狄更斯热”到了极点，它的主题是描 写资本主义社会中小人物的悲惨命运。
小耐儿 、屈兰特 、奎尔普
狄更斯的作品一般都是大团圆的结局，但 这部小说的结局却是悲惨的，感伤的调子 较浓。
从“傲慢”入手，“世界是为了董贝父子经商而创造的， 太阳和月亮是为了给他们光亮而创造的。河川和海洋是为 了让他们航船而构成的；虹霓使他们有逢到好天气的希望； 风的顺逆影响他们实业的成败；星辰在他们的轨道内运行， 保持以他们为中心的一种不能侵犯的系统” 写资产者的冷酷、冷漠和非人性化：“雕像”、“木头 人”，“全身直挺挺的不会打弯”，或是“刮得光光、剪 裁整齐的阔绅士，光溜利索，像刚印出来的钞票” 家庭关系:夫妻、父女、父子；工作关系：和卡克、和图 德尔 第一次使用象征——”火车“——机械化运动

最新人教版初中英语九年级上册精品课件狄更斯及其作品简介--ppt
3，1858——1870
《 双城记 》 A Tale of Two Cities 《远大前程》 Great Expectations 《我们共同的朋友》 Our Mutual Friend 《艾德温·德鲁德之谜》（未完成）
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
特点
对社会黑暗面的认识进一步加深，乐观的 基调减弱了，善虽能战胜恶，但必经过曲折的过 程，甚至采取“恶”的形式，主人公付出相当代 价才能换来好的结局。小说中经常出现“死 亡”“衰败”等意象。增加了小说的冷峻色彩， 幽默则削弱了。
三、《双城记》（1859）
• 《双城记》以法国大革命为背景，以巴黎和伦敦作为故 事的发生地。
• 主要人物： 梅尼特医生 露西
理 代尔那 想 卡尔登 人 物
批判对象: 厄弗里蒙地侯爵 群众代表: 得伐石太太
小说中的人物
• 狄更斯评价社会、褒贬人物的出发点是资 产阶级人道主义。凡是符合人道主义的， 他就爱；凡是不符合的，他就憎。我们在 对他的作品人物划分类别时，也不能忘记 这个出发点。正是循着狄更斯的人道主义 思想脉络，我们将《双城记》中的人物分 为两类：贵族和平民。每一类都有正面人 物，也都有批判的反面人物。
• 7、没有坏人，也就没有好的律师。 • 8、善良的人会把生活里的黑暗变成光明。 • 9、我所收获的，是我种下的。
特点
把生活看做善与恶的斗争，认为恶 只是个别现象，并且最终为善所克服， 艺术上受流浪汉小说影响较突出，小说 的基调乐观向上。
小说的结构比较松散，人物塑造不 够圆熟，同时深刻的人性探讨与浓重的 幽默一定程度弥补了上述不足。
• 涉及重要的社会问题； • 相信善恶有报，恶有恶报； • 好心的资产者； • 大团圆结局； • 未摆脱流浪汉小说的模式； • 幽默与讽刺。
查尔斯狄更斯ppt课件
• 狄更斯早期的小说，气势宏伟、通俗流畅、 幽默泼辣而又充满感伤情调，其中对社会 的揭露批判，一般只限于局部的制度和领 域。如《雾都孤儿》、《尼古拉斯·尼克尔 贝》、《老古玩店》、《马丁·朱述尔维 特》、《圣诞欢歌》等。从《当贝父子》 以后，狄更斯的创作更为成熟。这部小说 通过当贝先生与儿子保罗、女儿弗洛伦斯 的关系，探讨了财势对人类美好天性的侵 蚀，体现了作家对人类社会前途的忧患感。 狄更斯的重要代表作《大卫·科波菲尔》进 一步深入探索人生的奋斗历程，
创作时期
• 狄更斯生活和创作的时间，正是19世纪中叶维多 利亚女王时代前期。狄更斯毕生的活动和创作， 始终与时代潮流同步。他主要以写实笔法揭露社 会上层和资产阶级的虚伪、贪婪、卑琐、凶残， 满怀激愤和深切的同情展示下层社会，特别是妇 女、儿童和老人的悲惨处境，并以严肃、慎重的 态度描写开始觉醒的劳苦大众的抗争。与此同时， 他还以理想主义和浪漫主义的豪情讴歌人性中的 真、善、美，憧憬更合理的社会和更美好的人生。
• 具有自传性，是反映19世纪中叶英国中下 层社会的长幅画卷。主人公大卫是当时社 会中为善良而奋斗、坚持正义的中产阶级 青年楷模。《荒凉山庄》、《艰难时世》、 《小杜丽》是3部政治意识很强的重头作品。 《荒凉山庄》以错综复杂的情节揭露英国 法律制度和司法机构的黑暗，《艰难时世》 直接描写罢工斗争，是对英国宪章运动的 策应；《小杜丽》详尽描绘负债人的监狱 生活，同时也更为深入地揭露了英国官僚 制度和机构的冗繁、腐朽。
• 重新生活，整个小说在结构上也更 精练。《我们共同的朋友》是又一 部广泛深入社会的批判小说，其中 所包含的人性探索和生活哲理也更 见深刻，作品运用的象征主义和侦 探小说手法更增添其艺术魅力。狄 更斯最后一部小说《埃德温·德鲁 德之谜》虽仅完成23章，从中也可 见其精雅文笔、严谨构思以及诱人 的悬念和神秘色彩。
