❖ 欧文的短篇小说，因为它们充满了奇幻色彩，大部分都取材于欧洲地区的古老传说，显得及其神秘离奇。他的《鬼门关》，那是一个关于鬼魂、冒险、寻宝的故事，虽然情节没有那么的错综复杂，却也扣人心弦，引人入胜。欧文叙述事情的口吻就像是一位慈祥的老者坐在篝火旁略带睡意地讲故事一样，有一种非同一般的魔力。

Rip-Van-Winkle-美国文学ppt

Winkle
Rip merely desires a leisurely, casual, convivial life, but his wife calls him home from the congenial atmosphere of the inn and lectures him in bed at night. Irving never, however, permits Dame Van Winkle’s point of view to obtrude; she does not speak in the story, and Irving elicits no sympathy for her. She is the enemy partly because she embodies a whole culture that is at odds with Rip's values: that of the tidy, thrifty, ambitious Dutch.
Theme of Rip Van Winkle
Irving seized on the venerable theme of the henpecked husband who turns the tables on his tyrannical wife, a feat Rip achieves by simply outlasting her.
