神话原型理论中的神话多指《圣经》的神话原型和古代希腊、罗马的神话故事,在西方的神话体系中,《圣经》可以被称为最广博的神话体系。伯纳德·马拉默德前期长篇小说《店员》中既出现了犹太教原型,又出现了基督教原型,本论文用原型批评理论对该作品中两教原型的交叉出现与混合进行分析。笔者认为,在创作前期,作者对犹太教和基督教之间的关系持温和态度,他没有刻意地强调两种宗教之间的区别和差异。由犹太教和基督教原型的混合可以看出,作者前期对基督教的部分传统是肯定的,他吸收基督教文化中的精华,而非抵触和排斥基督教,马拉默德创作前期把关注重点放在人物刻画、故事情节的描述、对犹太教和基督教优秀传统的展示方面。 Myths in mythological prototype theory mostly refer to the biblical mythological prototypes and ancient Greek and Roman myths. In the western mythological system, the Bible can be called the most extensive mythological system. In the previous work of Bernard Malamud’s novel “clerk”, both the prototype of Judaism and the prototype of Christianity emerge. This thesis uses the theory of archetypal criticism to analyze the cross appearance and mixture of the two teaching prototypes in this work. In my opinion, in the early days of creation, the author took a moderate attitude towards the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. He did not deliberately emphasize the differences and differences between the two religions. From the mixture of Judaism and Christian archetype, we can see that the author’s earlier tradition of Christianity was affirmative. He absorbed the essence of Christian culture instead of contradicting and rejecting Christianity. In the early period of Maramud’s creation, he focused his attention on characterization , Description of the plot of the story, presentation of the fine traditions of Judaism and Christianity.
