摘要
《喧哗与骚动》和《欲望号街车》作为威廉.福克纳和田纳西.威廉姆斯的代表作,都描写了家族没落的主题,围绕的人物却不同。其中,福克纳塑造的昆丁和田纳西.维廉姆斯笔下的布兰奇作为美国南方的绅士和淑女,在某些方面具有共同的特质。本文通过两个主人公三重身份的对比分析,逐步揭示人物的悲剧色彩。他们是南方文明的代表。在他们的身上彰显着在北方工业文明的冲击下南方人的生活轨迹及其命运走向。两个堂吉诃德式的人物的悲惨命运也暗示了南方旧有的秩序和文明终将湮灭在强大的北方工业文明的轰鸣声中。
The Sound and the Fury and A Streetcar Named Desire are William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams’s representative works respectively. Both of them describe the wane of a family,but about different characters. Quentin in the Sound and the Fury and Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire,who are seen as the representatives of gentlemen and gentlewomen in the south of America,have the same characteristics. They are the representatives of the southern civilization in America,so their life destinations also show the track and destiny of the south when confronting the northern industrialism. This paper reveals the tragic characteristics of these two people through analyzing the three common features. The tragic life of these two quixotic people also implies that the old systems and civilization of the southern America will collapse when fighting against the new and strong northern industrial civilization.
