浅谈《第二十二条军规》中的黑色幽默
边丽萍
【摘要】《第二十二条军规》是一部典型的黑色幽默的代表作,它诞生于特殊的时代背景:
人们开始怀疑并否定自己的传统价值观念,渴望讽刺、幽默的文学作品中寻找精神上的解脱。
小说的作者约瑟夫·海勒用象征的手法描绘了一幅幅荒谬的图像。
小说中有许多单词、短语以及对话是迷惑的、重复的、怀疑的和矛盾的。
贯穿全文的“第二十二条军规”总是束缚着那些小人物,像一张网把他们困在其中,成为资本主义制度下军规管辖和捉弄士兵的法宝。
本文主要通过主题的深化、人物的塑造、结构的安排以及语言的运用方面分析了《第二十二条军规》中的黑色幽默。
总而言之,《第二十二条军规》是黑色幽默作品中最重要的一部。
本文旨在帮助读者更好的理解《第二十二条军规》这部小说。
【关键词】黑色幽默;悖论;第二十二条军规;荒谬
