【摘要】 在西方,基督教及基督教文化可谓根深蒂固,并且基督教文化被公认为西方文学的两大源头之一。基督教文学作品以《圣经》为代表。从宗教的角度来说,《圣经》是犹太教和基督教的教典。但对全世界大多数人来讲,《圣经》是人类文化的瑰宝,圣经文学哺育和滋养了众多享誉世界的文学巨匠。在圣经文学的影响、哺育和熏陶之下,他们或采用圣经文学的题材,或表现圣经文学的主题,或提炼圣经文学的情节,或借鉴圣经文学的审美思想,创作出一大批世界文学名著,对世界文学的发展产生了深远的影响。福克纳就是其中之一。在美国文学的宗教背景与现代主义的潮流下,福克纳以自己独特的方式运用《圣经》。一方面,福克纳在作品中广泛运用了《圣经》中的人物原型、人物关系模式、情节模式、意象等等,来为他的故事寻找《圣经》对应。通过再现这些原型,福克纳成功地揭示了人类生活当中的永恒主题,从而使他的故事超越了南方,超越了美国,代表了全人类的历史与现在,具有史诗的风范。另一方面,通过“置换变形”,福克纳突出了作品的主题,揭示了南方一切苦难的根源:即残酷的种族主义和奴隶制。本文分析了福克纳“圣经情结”产生的原因,以及这一情结是如何在作品《押沙龙,押沙龙!》当中得以体现的。作者试图从原型批评的角度分析福克纳的作品《押沙龙,押沙龙》中出现的圣经典故。通过对这部作品中出现的各种圣经原型加以分析,本文最终总结出了福克纳在利用神话原型过程中所形成的固定模式。此模式显示了作者对原型加以吸收和置换的能力,也极大地突出了作品的主题。更多还原

【Abstract】 Christianity is deep-rooted in the western world and also widely regarded as one of the two sources of the western literature.The Bible as the official scripture of Judaism and Christianity is the representative work of Christian literature.But for most of people all over the world,the Bible is valuable because it is a significant classical literary work for all the human beings.Biblical literature fosters and nurtures multitude world-known great writers who use the theme and esthetic ideas in the Bible to create many famous works.So the Bible exerts the far-reaching influence on the development of world literature.William Faulkner is one of such writers.Greatly nourished in the Christian tradition and strongly influenced by modernism,Faulkner makes use of the biblical resources largely in his own and unique way.On the one hand,Faulkner uses character prototypes, character relationship modes,plotting modes,images and so on in the Bible extensively in his works to look for parallelisms between the Bible and his stories.By making use of those archetypes,Faulkner makes his stories surpass the South,surpass the USA, represent panhuman history and present,have the manner of the epic.On the other hand, Faulkner makes some displacements of recurrent archetypes,which foreground the themes of his novels.Through displacements,Faulkner manages to explore the humanity, exposes and condemns the evils of racism and slavery.This thesis attempts to analyze Faulkner’s biblical complex and how this kind of complex is embodied in his masterpiece Absalom,Absalom!.The author tries to study the novel from archetypal perspective with a focus on Biblical allusions in it.Through an exploration of different archetypes in Faulkner’s fictions Absalom,Absalom!,my purpose is to induce a kind of pattern in Faulkner’s writings which reveals the artist’s capability to assimilate archetypes as well as displace them.His unique method of using archetypes remarkably foregrounds the themes of his fictions and marks him as an innovative and talented writer.更多还原
