摘要
诺曼.梅勒的小说《裸者和死者》被誉为美国二战小说中最有影响力的作品之一。自出版问世以来,倍受批评家的关注,评论家对其做出了不同的评价。但是,作者本人解释他的小说是一部象征性的作品,其主题是兽性和理想的冲突。论文试图从情节和人物刻画两个方面探讨这一主体在小说中的体现。
Morman Mailer＇s The Naked and The Dead has been generally acknowledged as one of the most influential American novels after WWII. Since its publication, it has gained special attention in the critical world and critics have never come to an agreement about its theme. The author himself claimed the novel as a symbol, which manifested the clash between animal nature and human ideal. The article attempts to reveal how this theme is embodied in the story from the perspective of plot development and characterization.
