从《画像》看乔伊斯的两种创作手法

詹姆斯.乔伊斯在小说《一个青年艺术家的画像》中,创新性地采用了顿悟以及意识流的写作手法。该两种手法并非简单地以传统的方式从旁观者的视觉角度来描绘人物,而是直接向读者展示主人公斯蒂芬.迪达勒斯的内心所经历的种种思想及情感变化。鉴于《画像》中顿悟和意识流的使用在很大程度上帮助作者更为准确地揭示了斯蒂芬隐秘的精神世界,因而有必要在此对于它们各自在作品中的具体运用以及意义作一解读。

A Reflection of Two Writing Techniques in A Portrait by James Joyce

James Joyce innovatively uses epiphany and the stream of consciousness in his work A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,a style in which the author directly transcribes the thought and sensations that go through the mind of Stephen Dedalus,its central character,rather than simply describing those sensations from the external point of an observer.Joyce's use of epiphany and the stream of consciousness makes the novel a story of the development of Stephen's mind.In order to gain a more profound understanding of A Portrait,it is rather necessary to make an analysis of their application and to explore their respective significance in the novel.
