第一篇:A Rose For Emily英文读后感
A Rose For Emily
Like so many American writers, Faulkner found himself again and again writing short stories, some of which are considered as equally important as his best novels.Good as his short stories are, they seem always at the threshold of being absorbed into the Yoknapatawpha saga — that legendary matrix which is Faulkner’s real achievement.However, for a beginner of Faulkner scholarship, his short stories may well be an easy start.“A Rose for Emily” is Faulkner’s first short story published in 1930.Set in the town of Jefferson in Yoknopatawpha, the story focuses on Emily Grierson, an eccentric spinster who refuses to accept the passage of time, or the inevitable change and loss that accompanies it.Simple as it is in plot, the story is
pregnant with meaning.As a descendent of the Southern aristocracy, Emily is typical of those in Faulkner’s Yoknapatwapha stories who are the symbols of the Old South but the prisoners of the past.In this story, Faulkner makes best use of the Gothic devices in narration, and, the deformed personality and abnormality Emily demonstrates in her relationship with her sweetheart is dramatized in such a way that we feel shocked and thrilled as we read along.In this story, Faulkner’s strong condemnation of the values of old tradition emanates from the pathetic life story of the central character, Emily Grierson
dominated by her father and restrained by his rigid ideas of social status, she has been prevented from getting married during his lifetime, and therefore after his death she is left alone and penniless.Her dependence on her father continues even after he dies.By delineating Miss Emily’s tragedy, Faulkner offers a strong denunciation of the morals of his own southern culture.Yet in “A Rose for Emily”, we can sense the underlying acclaim of the standard and moral values found in the South which have been destroyed by commerce and machinery.In spite of Emily’s insanity and grotesque actions, Faulkner chooses “A Rose for Emily” as the title of this story to show his admiration for Miss Emily who is a symbol of “tradition, duty and care;sort of
hereditary obligation”.In addition, that Faulkner depicts Emily as dignified, valiant and literate;her serf as loyal and staunch;Colonel Sartories, generation as sympathetic and considerate is also a revelation of his applause of the glorious past which contains “the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and piety and sacrifice.”In “A Rose for Emily”, we can feel that part of the emotional and
psychological thrill and involvement is that the style is adapted to the subject.First, Faulkner’s handling of time in his story is most noteworthy.The displaced chronology undoubtedly allows the narrator to tell the story in the most dramatic way and also to fill in adequate background details, but it is also a way in which one of the themes — denunciation of the sins and evils of the southern culture — can be illustrated and
strengthened by the structure itself.The interruption of chronological order denotes the moral confusion and social depravity of the southern tradition.Emily is in agonizing conflict, with herself, with modernization, and with the past forces that lie beyond her control.In order to dissipate her inner tensions, she clings to her father’s memory and refuses to change.Emily’s house, in the narrator’s eyes, marks the declining and
disintegrating values of the South.In spite of all her eccentricities, not to mention her
serious mental illness, she is never laughed at or treated with contempt or disgust by the narrator.Instead her struggle to assert her will has something courageous and heroic which serves to remind us of courage, honor and pride that Faulkner acclaims.In “A Rose for Emily”, and his entire Yoknapatawpha saga, Faulkner penetrates deeply into the psychological motivations for man’s actions and investigates man’s dilemma in the modern world throughout his fictional world, we profoundly sense his inner conflict and his combined feeling of love and hatred for theSouth.Although his novels often contain a two-faceted motif which compounds the condemnation of the sins and evils of the South and a compliment of its great and noble qualities, they are structurally sound as being pitched in too high a key.像许多美国作家福克纳发现自己一次又一次地写作短篇小说,其中有些是他最好的,同样作为小说的重要考虑。因为他的短篇小说是好的,他们似乎总是在阈值被吸收到约克纳帕塔法传奇谴责的罪恶和邪恶的南方文化-可加以说明和结构本身加强。中断的时间顺序表示的道德混乱和南部传统社会的堕落。艾米莉是痛苦的冲突与自己,与现代化,并与她的控制之外,超越过去的力量。为了驱散她内心的紧张,她攀附着她父亲的记忆,拒绝改变。艾米莉的房子,在叙述者的眼睛,标志着下降,瓦解南方价值。尽管她的怪癖,更不用提她严重的精神病,她从来没有嘲笑或蔑视或厌恶的叙述者。相反她声称她的斗争将有一定的勇敢和英雄,借此提醒我们的勇气,荣誉和骄傲的福克纳好评。在“献给艾米莉的玫瑰”,和他的整个约克纳帕塔法事件,福克纳渗透深入的心理动机的人的行动,并探讨在现代世界在他的小说世界人的困境,我们深刻地感觉他的内心冲突和他的爱和合并的感觉仇恨的南部地区。虽然他的小说往往包含两方面的主题是加剧了罪孽和南方罪恶和其伟大和高尚品质的赞美谴责,他们的结构声被过高搭了一个关键。
