《献给艾米丽的玫瑰花》是福克纳表现南方情结的典型代表作品,艾米丽作为文中的主人翁凝聚了作者所有的复杂情结。本文将从三对矛盾体来呈现艾米丽的复杂情感:对南方传统的爱与恨,对社会现实的逃避和追逐,旧南方给她带来的好处和折磨。这些因素是导致她悲剧命运的根源。通过对艾米丽复杂情感的诠释成功揭示了福克纳对旧南方怀有的难于言说的矛盾情感。 “Rose for Emily” is a typical representative of Faulkner’s performance of the southern complex, Emily as the owner of the text embodies the author’s complex complex. This article presents Emily’s complicated feelings from three contradictions: the love and hate toward the South’s tradition, the evasion and chase of social reality, and the benefits and torments from the old South. These factors are the root causes of her tragic fate. Through the interpretation of Emily’s complex emotions, she successfully revealed Faulkner’s unspeakable ambivalence toward the old South.
