【摘要】 J.D.塞林格的《麦田的守望者》是一部既流行又经典的作品。自从出版以来,它就得到不少的关注,并受到正面、负面的各种评论。《麦田的守望者》-直以来就是一部颇受争议的作品。有人称赞它的文学价值,推崇它准确又实际地描绘出青少年的状态；有人批评它不具道德性,会毒害青少年的头脑。诸如此类的研究或对话从来没有停止过。随着文学理论的发展,对《麦田的守望者》主人公霍尔顿·考菲尔德也出现了更多的解读。有学者从心理分析的角度去剖析霍尔顿,有人从冷战的历史背景去研究霍尔顿,还有人用同性恋理论来讨论霍尔顿的性取向。作者J.D.塞林格在2010年去世,这重又引发了研究《麦田的守望者》及其隐居作者的热潮。我对《麦田的守望者》的主要兴趣也是在其主人公霍尔顿·考菲尔德身上,在这篇论文里我将从三个方面,即爱与性、天真与经验、生与死,来阐述对霍尔顿人生观的理解。简介部分主要回顾了《麦田的守望者》的批评历史。第一章重新解读霍尔顿·考菲尔德,把散落在各个章节的霍尔顿的形象重新组合在一起,让读者拥有一个霍尔顿的全景印象。第二章分析霍尔顿对爱和性的看法,得出他不能把爱和性分开的结论。这章也涉及到同性恋和乱伦的话题。第三章讨论霍尔顿对天真和经验的刻板观点,发现霍尔顿不愿意对孩童般的天真放手,也不愿意进入成人的经验世界。第四章呈现霍尔顿对生与死的理解,以及他如何弃死重生。最后的结论部分剖析霍尔顿想成为麦田的守望者的幻想。霍尔顿最终摆脱了他的弥赛亚情结,从麦田的守望者的想象中成熟起来。更多还原

【Abstract】 The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger is a popular piece of classic literary work. Ever since its publication, it has received much attention and criticism, both negative and positive. It has always been a controversial book. People praise it for its literary merits, such as being a realistic portrayal of adolescents, and criticize it for its "depravity", accusing it of poisoning young people’s morality. Thus, studies or rather debates on The Catcher in the Rye have never stopped. With the development of literary theories, many more interpretations and analyses of the protagonist Holden Caulfield have come out. Some study him from psychoanalytical point of view, some approach him from the cultural background of Cold War, and others, with the employment of queer theory, are interested in his sexual orientation. The death of Salinger in2010reignites people’s interests in studying the book as well as the life of its reclusive author. My interest in The Catcher in the Rye would also be in its protagonist, and I’m trying to offer my understanding of Holden Caulfield’s views of life in a clear way through three aspects, namely, sex and love, innocence and experience, life and death.The Introduction mainly reviews the critical reception of The Catcher in the Rye.Chapter One reexamines the protagonist Holden Caulfield and brings the pieces of Holden scattered throughout the book into a whole picture.Chapter Two analyses Holden’s view on sex and love, and comes to the conclusion that he cannot separate love from sex. This chapter also treats questions of homosexuality and incest. Chapter Three talks about Holden’s rigid view on innocence and experience and finds that Holden is reluctant to let go of child-like innocence and to enter the adult world of experience.Chapter Four presents Holden’s opinion on life and death and tells how he arrives at choosing life over death.The Conclusion deals with Holden’s illusion of being a catcher in the rye, and how he finally outgrows his messiah complex.更多还原
