长期以来,评论界对霍桑的长篇小说关注甚多,但对其短篇小说中孤独与异化主题的诠译却较少。其短篇小说《罗杰·马尔文的葬礼》的创作仍遵循“想象”为主导的原则,着重探讨人物的内心和道德体系。小说主人公鲁本在面临道德和生存的两难境地时,选择抛弃同伴,导致了愧疚与懊悔伴其一生,最后脱离社会,走向孤独,以错杀爱子完成了自己的誓言。霍桑对人物的生动刻画再现了人性的孤独与异化。
For a long time, critics have paid close attention to Hawthorne’s novels, but there are fewer interpretations of the lonely and alienated themes in his short stories. The creation of his short story “Roger Malvern’s Funeral” still follows the principle of “imagination ” and focuses on the characters’ inner and moral system. When Robben faced the moral and survival dilemma, he chose to abandon his companions, leading to guilt and regret for his whole life. Finally, he broke away from society and walked alone to complete his vow by wrongly killing his son. Hawthorne vivid portraits of characters reproduce the loneliness and alienation of human nature.
