摘要
艾德加·爱伦·坡的推理小说开创了侦探小说的先河,而奠定他盛名的则是他融哥特风格为一体的恐怖小说。在这一类小说中,意象对于神秘、怪诞、病态的主题地塑造起了重要的作用。本文将从颜色、动物和房屋这三种源于现实却又高于现实的意象分析它们如何帮助坡在小说中完成恐怖情景的预设从而使读者感受到理性与疯狂、常态与怪异之间的巨大张力。
The ratiocination novels of Edgar Allan Poe are of primary significance to the detective novels. However, his fame is mainly established by his horror fictions, which are embodied with gothic elements. These mysterious, absurd and sick subjects of such kind of short stories attribute greatly to the employment of images. This thesis will centers on the images of colors, animals, and houses. These images are derived from reality, however, they are not merely objects in that they have a touch of mysterious force and stand for evil, misfortune and even death. From the impression of these three images, the readers may have a clear understanding about the sharp contrast between sense and insanity, as well as normal and absurdity.
