摘要
《老人与海》讲述了老渔夫捕鱼过程中的坎坷经历,主题深刻,是一部英雄主义的赞歌。
“一个人不是生来就要被打败的,你可以消灭他,但就是打不败他。
”已经成为至理名言,老人也成为海明威式“硬汉子”的最典型、最完美的代表。
当海明威谈到小说成功的因素时,曾颇为自得地将小男孩与老人相提并论。
本文拟从有关细节入手,分析讨论小男孩在《老人与海》中所起的微妙且不可或缺的作用:
是他帮助表现了“重压下的优雅风度”这一主题:
在老人84天没有捕到鱼,处境一步步恶化的厄运中,小男孩的离去无疑让老人的“重压”达到了极度严峻的地步,然而正是由于如此的“重压”,老人后来面对失败时的态度才可谓“优雅”,所表现的大度、乐观的人生态度才值得人们仔细地品味;
是他对读者发挥着一定的牵引、打动和启发作用,从而增强了作品的感染力,丰富了作品的内涵:
孩子虽然只出现在小说的首尾两处,但是孩子的内心世界里别无他物,只有老人,他对老人的态度和感情潜移默化地左右着读者对老人的感受,他的内心情感无可避免地要牵动影响着读者的情绪。
