【摘要】 哈金是一位杰出的美国华裔作家。他的作品主要关注个人的生存困境，这和存在主义的关注是一致的。存在主义揭示了人所处的世界的荒谬。在没有理性，没有意义的世界里，人追求理想和寻求生活意义的努力不可避免地会遇到外部世界的各种限制和阻碍，处在困境的个人难免会体验到孤独、焦虑和绝望的情绪。存在主义为挣扎在困境中的人指出了一条出路，即运用选择的自由来追求荒谬中本真的存在。本论文以哈金的两部小说，《池塘里》和《等待》为研究对象。基于萨特和加缪的相关理论，本论文试图探讨这两部作品里的存在主义思想。论文的主体包含三部分。第一部分展现了两部作品的主人公所处的世界里的荒谬。第二部分揭示了处于荒谬中的个人的情绪体验。第三部分分析了两个主人公在荒谬中的两种存在状态：本真的存在和非本真的存在。论文的结尾得出结论：哈金的作品中流露出哈金的人文关怀和以及他对处在困境中的人追寻本真的存在的肯定态度。更多还原
