《小伙子古德曼·布朗》是霍桑著名的短篇小说之一,讲述了布朗的一夜传奇故事。借用解构主义的批评策略,通过对文本的细致阅读试图颠覆文本中存在的二元对立因素——善-恶、真诚-虚伪,从而颠覆小伙子布朗的形象,认为:古德曼·布朗不是善的而是恶的,他毕生追求真诚却最虚伪。 “Goodman Brown” is one of Hawthorne’s famous short stories, tells the story of Brown’s overnight legend. By using the deconstructionist criticism tactics and trying to subvert the binary oppositions in the text, such as good-evil and sincerity-hypocrisy, the subversive image of Young Boy, Brown, is considered: Goodman Brown is not good But evil, his lifelong pursuit of sincerity is the most hypocritical.
