本文通过对爱·摩·福斯特两部代表作品《霍华德别业》和《印度之行》中主要意象的分析揭示出这两部小说意象体系的嬗变。这两部小说的意象在某种程度上具有一致性。但是,《印度之行》中的意象比《霍华德别业》中的意象在象征意义上更具有普遍的哲理性、宗教色彩和原型内涵;同时,由意象所形成的模式和节奏也不相同。此外,尽管这些意象和其象征意义之间仍有不和谐之处,但是仍然可以从这两部小说意象体系的嬗变中看出福斯特小说创作中现代主义倾向的深化。 This article reveals the evolution of the imagery of these two novels through the analysis of the main images in the works by Howard Foster and his two works by Howard Foster. The images of these two novels are somewhat consistent. However, the images in the “trip to India” are more philosophical, religious and archetypal in their symbolic meanings than the images in the “Howard Beyond the Fields.” At the same time, the patterns and rhythms formed by the images are not the same. In addition, although there still exists discord between these images and their symbolic meanings, we can still see the deepening of the modernist tendency in Foster’s novel creation from the evolution of these two novel image systems.
