摘要
《蝇王》这部小说情节看似简单,但却蕴含了广阔的阐释空间。小说深邃的内涵主要得自于威廉.戈尔丁所运用的大量象征手法。本文着重探讨的是这部小说中为诸多学者所忽略的一个重要意象——涂花脸/面具——的象征意义。随着小说情节的发展,涂花脸/面具(Paint/Mask)不再仅仅是杰克邪恶行为的遮羞布,它逐渐成为人类本性中普遍存在的恶的象征。这一意象对于理解戈尔丁小说人性恶的主题具有重要意义。
Lord of the Flies seems to be a simple story, but it inspires lots of interpretations from various perspectives. The depth of this novel owes much to William Golding＇s superb use of symbolism. This present essay intends to discuss the symbolic meaning of an important image Paint/mask, which used to be often ignored by many scholars. With the development of plot, the paint is no longer a mere concealing mask for Jack＇s evil. It grows to symbolize the general evil in human nature. This image bears great significance to the understanding of the theme of the novel.
