摘要
亨利是美国著名的批判现实主义作家,他的短篇小说誉满全球,被称为“短篇小说之王”。
他的小说所涉及的都是世态人情,因此他的作品大多以人性为主题,反映生活中固有的矛盾。
悲剧在欧·
亨利的作品中很少出现,总是用幽默贯穿全篇,欧·
亨利式出人意料的结局,都是富有人性的结局。
这一风格被誉为“含泪微笑的幽默”。
本文试图通过剖析欧·
亨利短篇小说中结尾的特征及其所达到的艺术效果进行探究。
本文由五部分组成。
首先,简要论文的研究背景、目的和意义。
其次介绍欧亨利和他的短篇小说的相关信息。
然后探讨了欧亨利独特的结尾的主要特征,其意料之外、情理之中的结尾方式并带给人无限的遐想。
紧接着分析和讨论了欧亨利独特的结尾反映出来的宿命论,及其中体现出的艺术效果,如:
“含泪的微笑”、黑色幽默以及发人深省。
最后是结论,总结全文主要内容,并重申论文的研究意义。
希望本文的研究能帮助读者对欧亨利的作品有一个更好的欣赏和更深刻的解读。
