从吉格和勃朗太太的形象谈作者的创作方法

吉格和勃朗太太分别是海明威的《白象似的群山》和伍尔夫的一篇讲稿《班奈特先生和勃朗太太》中的人物。这两个人物的共同点是:她们在作品中被着墨很少,却给读者留下了非常深的印象;同时她们都给读者以极大的想像空间,使读者去想像和丰满自己心目中的人物形象。这正体现了海明威的“冰山理论”和伍尔夫对“偏重物质”的驳斥。

From Jig and Mrs. Brown: On the Authors' Unique Writing Methods

Jig and Mrs. Brown are the characters in Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" and Woolf's "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown" respectively.The two characters have something in common: The two authors make them very impressive to the readers with only several sentences which is different from most of other character- centered novels or articles; meanwhile, the authors give the readers enough room to imagine and enrich the characters' images freely. These are the specific embodiments of the following theories: Hemingway's "Iceberg Theory", Woolf's refutation to "Emphasis on Things" and Kundera's "Readers' active participation".
