第一篇:《獻給艾米麗的玫瑰花》及《一桶白葡萄酒》文學評論
Review of a Rose for Emily
A Rose for Emily is a very popular short story because of its style, climax, and plot.The author, William Faulkner, was a Southern writer from Oxford, Mississippi.Faulkner bases this story on the tale of Oxford's aristocracy Miss Mary Neilson.She married Captain Jack Hume, the charming Yankee foreman of a street-paving crew, over her family's shocked protests.The style of this story is false romance.Miss Emily's father, before his death, would run off every man that tried to court her.Because of this, she felt any man she loved would leave her.After falling in love with Homer Baron, she feared he would run off like the others.To keep this from happening, she poisoned him and kept his body upstairs in the bedroom.The climax focuses on the room where the corpse was found.After Miss Emily's death, the town people were cleaning up the house and found a room that was locked.They had to break down the door.To their surprise, they found Homer Baron's corpse lying in the bed dressed in a night shirt.As the story progresses there is no indication that he had died.When they found the toilet things sitting on the dresser with initials H.B., it was well known that the corpse was Homer Baron.I first thought it was her father in the bed, but I realized that her father was
already buried.I then knew it had to be her lover.I cringed on the thought of what she did while she was lying next to the corpse.Finally, the end of this story surrounds a woman's life from her mid twenties until her death at the age of seventy-four.It describes a prominent lady of a town who led a private life.I learned, while reading this story that this woman is crazy and had the mind of a child.She seemed to lose everything she loved.But I still have a question.The question is “Where is the rose in the A Rose for Emily?” Emily was never given a rose, even when she died there was no mention of a rose.In the story the only time a scented thing was mentioned was lime to cover a smell.Emily like the insinuated rose is never present in the story.Even when Emily has a line of dialog it is spoken thought the filter of the narrator’s perspective.The narrator or the town is concerned with what role Emily is playing, although since Emily is not present in the story, but through hearsay, the reader has to decipher between the roll assigned to her by the narrator and actuality of the role Emily fulfills.Everyone went to Emily’s funeral.No one went to the funeral out of respect for the dead.Emily became a person known only though hearsay between town folk.No one knew Emily.“Women went out of curiosity to see the inside of her house.” The women went to the funeral to fill a gap.In a time where entertainment wasn’t prevalent, Emily became the late night drama and sole topic of conversation for the town.The town did not morn, the person, Emily they mourned the personified topic of conversation.The town paid respect to the topic that took up time in their conversations.The town saw Emily as inseparable from what she was.The town saw Emily as, “…a small, fat woman in black…” as opposed to a woman with a small skeleton.The town could not separate the Emily they knew from the Emily that was present.The juxtaposition was fused into the town’s notion of Emily.The druggist must have seen a hint of Emily’s shift in personality.The druggist either did not care about Emily or wanted her dead.The druggist gave her the poison thinking the probability that she was going to kill herself was likely.The druggist didn’t even consider another possibility before spreading the rumor to the town.The druggist would not have given up the poison to Emily before her father died, but now Emily was the same one the town sighed, “…Poor Emily…” for.Emily was a lady when her father was alive.Emily is only a lady, because of who her father was.She is a lady out of only legacy.The narrator knows what Emily did, yet the narrator sympathies with Emily up till the end trick the reader into sympathizing along with the story.In the end the reader and the narrator know Emily is a lady no longer, not
only because she is now dead but because she killed and kept a corpse for cuddling.Ladies don’t cuddle with corpses, but up until the discovery of the corpse Emily remained a lady in the eyes of the town.“They waited until Miss Emily was decently in the ground before…” the town opened the door to the room Emily was keeping her corpse.The town waited because they knew they were going to find something off kilter in that room.Something which could and eventually force change on their opinion of Emily, the town did not wanted to keep what they knew about Emily while she was alive separate from what they knew about her when she was dead.Upon the discovery of the body the fused juxtaposition the town carried with them was removed from their notion of Emily.Neither, the reader or the narrator can relate the Emily at the end of the story to the Emily that existed to hinted ideas of who Emily was before events of the story.There is no reconciliation between the two Emily’s.They share different traits.The first, being the lady, the father’s daughter.The second Emily being an off kilter person struggling with craziness the only way she knows how.But because the story is not written from Emily’s perspective the reader cannot see the shift into craziness directly until the end and is left wondering with the narrator what caused Emily to defy my notion of what a lady is supposed to be?
In the end the “Rose” for Emily is just as absent from the story as Emily herself.Emily is portrayed in flickers between the town folk’s skewed options about her, about her house, about her life style and about her choice in bed room arrangements.The lady Emily reveals two things about herself though out the story, she doesn’t like to pay taxes, and she is willing to kill and keep a corpse around.Creating an option based upon what Emily reveals about herself, it’s safe to say Emily was never a lady, and never thought of herself as a lady.Reference Brooks, Cleanth and Roert Penn Warren.Understanding Fiction, 2nd ed.New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, Inc, 1959:351 Roberts, Diane.Faulkner and Southern womanhood, Athens and London: The University of Georgia Press, 1994:158 Olga W.Vicky.The Novels of William Faulkner: A Critical Appraisal [M].Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1964
Review of the Cask of Amontillado
The Cask of Amontillado is a daring story by the ever-famous Edgar Allen Poe that shows the pain of hate and desire for revenge.Remember always though to not forget the Golden Rule and that prideful reaping will only bring about to you a large and painful fall.Many people have wanted to gain revenge but for a man to say that he is to conduct his action of revenge with full intention of making justice in one’s own mind is an accusation of pure madness.But what could one possibly do to receive such hate from another? The question is a mystery but you can’t tell me you aren’t interested about Poe’s story so please sit back and let me tell you about why it is so good.Poe makes his point clear in the Cask of Amontillado by his amazing use of literary elements such as plot, setting, and foreshadowing.Poe uses one the very planning parts of a story to tell his tail in an amazing way through the literary element of plot.Stories can have very strong, light, and any combination of types of plots.The Cask of Amontillado has a strong plot.The Story lines up in the plot perfectly.There is an explanation of why the character is wanting to get revenge fills strongly to act upon the other character.Montresor the narrator is seeking revenge after Fortunato who is the other large character in the story.His introduction starts saying,“The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.” The intention of your main character is clearly stated although reason is not;you have no doubt from the vocabulary that he is greatly offended.Then actions that follow bring about ability to carry out, but can he struggle past himself in morality, and can he struggle against his adversary to achieve his objectives? Poe uses the knowledge he possesses to carry his idea to the max and then fall into the next part of the story giving succession and strong plot to follow.He doesn’t introduce you with a setting but in the actions and the climax he uses foreshadowing and setting to assist the conducting of his plot properly.With the use of his plot he also teaches you the theme of the story, that you ultimately reap what you sow.For a story to really teach a life lesson in the theme of the story the author has to stay focused on his message and the idea while he is carrying out the actual actions of the story.It takes the entire story working together for it to be a success, and to me a successful story cannot be written unless you have to pay attention to every aspect to fully understand it.The characters are realistic and there is a proven sense of seriousness throughout the story and Poe’s extensive understanding of plot and use of it proves all of this.If you are to see the revenge in a story you have to have a serious
mood, that of hate, at the beginning and on into the conflict.Then you see the madness created and the climax will show if the revenge is truly a success or a failure that all results of over flooded hatred.“Nemo me impune lacessit”, or in English no one attacks me with impunity could be a statement of assurance or a statement of ignorant pride.When you read The Cask of Amontillado remember to first look at the plot that is used Edgar Allen Poe.You can’t very well carry out a nursery rhythm in a dark mansion or a horror story in the sunny beautiful place that one would enjoy frolicking because setting is another vital part of an author’s success in his/her story.Poe is an author that fully understood this element and used it also wisely.If you think of revenge you think of dark sinister thoughts.A story of revenge has a setting of scary eeriness and one that would cause fear because revenge is not a warm cuddly area and in composing a short story Poe knew that where the story took place was a vital piece of the puzzle and you can see that from these quotes I would like to pull out of the story: ·
“..., bowed him through several suites of rooms to the archway that led into the vaults.I passed down a long and winding staircase, requesting him to be cautious as he followed.We came at length to the foot of the descent, and stood together upon the damp ground of the catacombs of the Montresors.”
·
“Its walls had been lined with human remains, piled to the vault overhead, in the fashion of the great catacombs of Paris...From the fourth side the bones had been thrown down, and lay promiscuously upon the earth, forming at one point a mound of some size...It seemed to have been constructed for no especial use within itself, but formed merely the interval between two of the colossal supports of the roof of the catacombs, and was back by one of their circumscribing walls of solid granite.”
Setting pulls you in the story, and make inferences, and gives you a sign of foreshadowing on the events to follow.Symbolism is a big element that lies right within the barriers of setting and gives symbolism of things to come.The settings presented in these two quotes of the story show you signs of death and evil by describing objects surrounding, colors, and even the setup of the setting itself.You can’t tell your story and have it make any sense if you don’t have the proper setting.Poe also uses foreshadowing along with his uses of plot and setting to bring across his message and to make this story one that you will read and enjoy.A well-written horror story has to have suspense or it just doesn’t give you that jumpy or that scared feeling.Poe brings to you in this story foreshadowing and that creepy suspenseful feeling.This is hard for a writer to do but Poe does it anyway with such a way that just makes his story much better.Look again at the setting quotes that I brought out of
the story and you can see the coming of death and misery but you aren’t able to see the result of the conflict because while he gives you sign of the defiant success of the main character Poe doesn’t let you know quite yet because he throws in shadows of doubt and questioning.In Poe’s use of foreshadowing he also used the plot to aid the device by letting some of the major rising action be direct foreshadowing events to use the two device as one and enlighten ideas of mystery.You read the story trying to break it apart because you want to know if Montressor will succeed in quest of receiving revenge, but you just can’t see for it to happen or to not happen.You can see how just in these three elements I mentioned that Poe molded together and let each literary device hold up the other.But why would an author feel so strongly to write a story of revenge and it was just an act of justice? Edgar Allen Poe lived a very short and tragic life that was compiled by attributes of dislike, loneliness, and death of the few people that he allowed himself to get close to and love.Poe had to experience a lot of self-conflict that defiantly pushed him to his all and all.He had a list problems compelled that consisted of gambling, drugs, alcohol, and constant depression because he could not take revenge on the thing that caused him the most pain and that was fait itself.Everyone he loved was taken by the incurable(at the time)disease of tuberculosis.I believe that this story was Poe’s way of saying he didn’t know how to
deal with the inability to take revenge on his opposing force, which was fait.He seemed to hurt himself to an unreal level by taking into his life things like gambling(which he probably might have at a time was what he compared to life), drinking(to probably forget his pain), and maybe drugs(because he would probably seek a realm that had to be better than the reality that he lived in).He begins this story, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.” I don’t know the approximate time that Edgar Allen Poe wrote this story but it was probably a time that he may had thought of suicide or even before he was found dead with alcohol in his system on a street corner.It seems that Poe could obviously not take revenge on fate and had no one to blame so he took out the bubbling hurt and made himself his own source of source of pain which would be his life itself and his own identity his outlet because he felt shut out from others because everyone he had loved left him in death.Some authors seek an inspiration for their writings but I believe that Poe just expressed his life and experiences and that is why he is notorious for his horror stories, scary isn’t it.I have given and supported my opinion to you as best to my ability and I know that when you read this story you will enjoy.Remember when you read to get the message that something is trying to teach you and after you enjoy a piece break it down in your mind.Poe used his ability to
express himself in this story through the use of the literary element devices of setting, plot, and foreshadowing made it the story for me.I give The Cask of Amontillado my ballot and would venture to say that it is an example of how a short story should be written.Reference Benton, Richard P.“Poe's 'The Cask of Amontillado': Its Cultural and Historical Backgrounds.” Poe Studies 29.1(June 1996): 19-27.Bonaparte, Marie.The Life and Works of Edgar Allan Poe: A Psycho-Analytic Interpretation.London: Hogarth, 1971.Davidson, Edward Hutchins.Poe, A Critical Study.Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1957.
第二篇:《艾米麗與玫瑰花》讀后感
《艾米麗與玫瑰花》讀后感
《獻給艾米麗一朵玫瑰花》是美國南方作家威廉.福克納的一篇廣為人知的短篇小說,通過大量象征描繪了主人公艾米麗小姐的形象和南北戰爭后南方人復雜的心態。
小說以第三人稱“我們”的視角展開敘述,向讀者講述了女主人公艾米麗小姐性格孤僻、高傲、固執,她專制暴戾的父親趕走了所有鐘愛于艾米麗的年輕人,以至于艾米麗小姐“年近三十,仍孑然一身”。父親去世后,她不顧非議,愛上了來小鎮修建鐵路的工頭北方人赫默。可赫默無心與她結婚,艾米麗便用砒霜毒死他,與其尸體公枕四十年。
艾米麗作為作品的主人公,有著復雜的象征。小說一開始就寫到愛米麗小姐過世,接著作者寫艾米麗的父親過世后,鎮長免了他的所有稅,并讓她在家中教授瓷器繪畫。書中寫道“愛米麗小姐在世時,始終是一個傳統的化身,是義務的象征,也是人民關注的對象”。艾米麗還是凌傲、孤僻、麻木的象征。作者在第二章中寫到艾米麗家中垃圾長年不清除,小鎮居民對此意見頗大,但艾米麗卻無動于衷;艾米麗的父親死后,“所有的婦女們都準備到她家拜望,表示哀悼和愿意接濟的心意,這是我們的習俗。愛米麗小姐在門口接待她們,衣著和平日一樣,臉上沒有一絲哀愁。她告訴她們,她的父親并未死。。。”。在第三章中艾米麗戀愛了。可全鎮人都認為“她已經墮落了”,“ 這是全鎮的羞辱,也是青年的壞榜樣”,但艾米麗“仿佛她比歷來都更要求人們承認她作為格里爾生家族末代人物的尊嚴,仿佛她的尊嚴就需要同世俗的接觸來重新肯定她那不受任何影響的性格。”此時的艾米麗渴望愛情,不顧所有人的的反對和非議,堅持和荷默在一起,她又是沖破傳統,追求浪漫愛情的象征。接著,艾米麗買來砒霜,大家都說:“她要自殺了”,可她沒有,而是用砒霜毒死了無意與成家背叛他的赫默,與其尸體一起過了幾十年。此時,艾米麗對美好的愛情再無憧憬,化身成為心理變態,殘忍,冷酷的象征。
艾米麗的象征并不是單一的某一種象征。人民憧憬新的理念,但又要飽受壓抑與背叛,在面對舊的南方傳統和新的北方理念相沖突與斗爭時心理上的掙扎和付出的代價,作者通過對艾米麗的描寫,深刻揭露人民內心最深處的痛。
小說的名字是《獻給艾米麗的一朵玫瑰花》,而“玫瑰”同“艾米麗”一樣也有著非常重要的象征。福克納并沒有對玫瑰進行詳細的描寫和敘述,也沒有明確告訴讀者是誰獻給艾米麗的玫瑰花,只是在介紹艾米麗的屋子時提到過兩次——“這間布置得像新房的屋子,仿佛到處都籠罩著墓室一般的淡淡的陰慘慘的氛圍:敗了色的玫瑰色窗簾,玫瑰色的燈罩。。。”文中缺乏玫瑰的描寫也象征了艾米麗愛情是有缺陷的,并不是完美的,而玫瑰也是帶刺的,一旦處理不當就會被玫瑰的刺所傷,就如同艾米麗的愛情剛開始是美好的,可結局是悲慘的。作者借這朵玫瑰花表達了他對艾米麗的同情。雖然這個玫瑰花是獻給艾米麗的,但艾米麗如果要緊握這朵玫瑰花,必然要付出滿手鮮血的代價。赫默的背叛讓艾米麗走向崩潰的邊緣,玫瑰的刺深深刺痛了艾米麗,為了維護自己高貴的尊嚴,為了不讓別人看她的笑話,也為了捍衛自己的愛情,艾米麗選擇毒死赫默,與他的尸體公枕四十年。文中也是用“敗了色”來形容玫瑰色的窗簾和玫瑰色的燈罩,這也象征了艾米麗的愛情也是敗了色的,在走向毀滅。學者馬凌在《后現代主義中的學院派小說家》中指出:“玫瑰是西方最復雜的符號象征系統之一。。。在古希臘羅馬的神話系統里,第一束紅玫瑰是維納斯的情人阿多尼斯的鮮血中長出來的,因此象征了超越死忙的愛情。”艾米麗是在南方文化和傳統下成長的女性,福克納把艾米麗比作一座紀念碑,而艾米麗的去世意味著這座豐碑的倒塌,象征著南方文化和傳統的要徹底退出歷史舞臺,被北方的文化思想逐漸取代。作者身為南方人,也遭遇著這樣新舊秩序的沖突,他緬懷南方文化和傳統,也在反思沖突,尋找可以解開人民內心矛盾的解藥。
獻給艾米麗的一朵玫瑰花這個題目在小說中找不到明顯的描述和解釋,但細讀之后總可以發現蛛絲馬跡,讓人細細品味,深深思考。

資料卡(多媒體展示)
1、作者
威廉·卡斯伯特·福克納是美國“南方文學”代表作家,1949年獲得諾貝爾文學獎。作品有長篇小說《喧嘩與騷動》、《圣殿》、《押沙龍,押沙龍!》等。《紀念艾米麗的一朵玫瑰花》被譽為其最負盛名的短篇小說。
2、背景(知人論世)
生存環境:生于美國密西西比州,出生于一個有名的莊園主家庭其曾祖父是南北戰爭中一位頗有影響的南軍將領,富有傳奇性的經歷,在當地廣為流傳對他影響很大.隨后,在家庭敗落的過程中,他產生了無限傷懷。正是他對家鄉、對像他那樣的由盛而衰的家庭的熟悉與了解,使他看上南方,因為這里有他用不完的素材,有他消失了的夢,也孕育著他對未來的期待。社會環境:南北戰爭,這場決定雙方命運的戰爭,南方吃盡了敗仗,南方的小農的自耕農理想和種植園主的土地貴族的理想都瓦解了。特別是種植園經濟的崩潰,蓄奴制顯貴的迅速敗落,北方資本侵入南方,南方新的資產階級的出現,這一切迫使以福克納為代表的南方作家都無法擺脫一種歷史的重負。隨著“舊南方”的崩潰,“新南方”的到來,他們情不自禁地以昔日南方蓄奴顯貴的情懷,來追思既往、冷對現實,以一種難言的憂傷和深沉的眷戀,唱一曲深切懷念往日的“莊園之歌”。初次通讀課文,把握基本的故事情節和主要的人物關系.思考討論以下問題:
學生個人通讀全文,理解文意
小組合作,概括故事大意,選代表發言。
3、簡要分析艾米麗的人物形象。
4、把握基本的故事情節,思考作者如此安排行文敘事有何特點。明確:
1、《紀念愛米麗的一朵玫瑰花》講述了一位沒落的南方貴族小姐親手殺死自己的愛人,然后陪伴其尸身并在古屋中隱居四十之久的具有哥特式神秘、恐怖意味的故事。南方淑女愛米麗小姐是舊貴族的象征,對于她的紀念是作為南方作家的福克納對于逝去的舊南方的無限緬懷之情。但另一方面,愛米麗的最終死亡也喻示了一座紀念碑的倒下,表明了作者對于最終湮沒的南方社會既眷念熱愛又批判其沉淪罪惡的矛盾心態。
2、愛米麗是作者筆下的典型人物 ,既是舊南方的象征 ,也是舊南方傳統觀念的犧牲品。怪異的舉止 ,孤傲的性格 ,近乎隱居的生活 ,歷來為傳統的評論家們批評的對象。他們普遍認為 ,愛米麗拒絕接受代表現代化的郵箱 ,拒絕交稅 ,即是拒絕接受社會的進步 ,接受時間的流逝 ,是她主動將自己和小鎮上的人們隔離 ,和社會分隔開來 ,也正是造成她悲劇的主要原因。但是 ,如果我們仔細地閱讀這篇小說 ,我們會發現其實不然。福克納對他筆下這位沒落貴族家庭的小姐充滿了同情 ,愛米麗小姐的悲劇并不全是她自己的過錯。
3、在小說當中,其最大的情節設置特色就是: A、時序顛倒的
以愛米麗之死為敘述的起點,站在杰斐遜鎮居民的視角上進行敘事,作者以倒敘的手法描述了愛米麗生前的幾個主要事件。在顛倒的時間順序中,首先敘述的是愛米麗拒絕納事稅件,然后是富有神秘氣息的尸臭事件,接著作者卻把時間往過去推進,則出現了父親之死,再接下來的與北方工頭荷默戀愛及他與愛米麗發生沖突后愛米麗去購買砒霜,緊接下來荷默的消失與愛米麗小姐長達四十年的隱居生活之謎在小說的最后一部分終于被揭開。而按照正常的時序則首先應是父親之死,然后是戀愛沖突與買砒霜,再是荷默的消失,尸臭事件與納稅事件都于此后發生,最后才是愛米麗的死亡。
作者故意打亂的時序仿佛向我們呈現了一個個組接的電影鏡頭,而這些電影鏡頭卻不是一片混亂,其內在的邏輯關系將他們聯系起來,造成了情節上的跳躍與結構上的奇突之感,更為重要的是其具有深化主題思想的藝術功效。這種打破時空界限的手法,把過去和現在直接放在一起,在他們之間形成鮮明的對照,從而使讀者深深地感到時代的變遷和傳統價值觀念的淪喪。
B、循環敘事
小說文本的敘事打破了線性時間發展的直線型模式,而是呈現出一個封閉的循環模式。整篇小說以愛米麗的死亡為支撐視點,將敘事呈現出一個不斷回退的過程。不同于傳統小說在倒敘手法的運用時將謎底置于篇首以制造懸念氣氛,我們在一開始并不知曉愛米麗于古屋之中竟藏有如此驚人之謎,作者正是在不斷回退的敘事中將正常的時序打亂從而增添了小說情節上的崎嶇之感。如尸臭事件于愛米麗購買砒霜及荷默的消失之間的錯位創設了讀者對于情節的期待心理。而小說的最后一部分則敘述了愛米麗的死亡與古屋之謎,最終從過去回退到了“現在”的愛米麗之死。這樣的寫法體現了作為現代主義作家的福克納對于事件的觀點。作業:以最簡潔的語言概述文章內容,完成在隨筆本上。教學后記
第二課時 回顧復習
選1---2名同學,將上節課布置的作業在課上和大家交流。
結合以前所學的有關小說的知識,回顧小說三要素的相關內容。
二、導入新課
上節課我們了解了小說的主要人物和基本的故事情節,但是小說人物的活動需要有一定的空間,也正是在這個空間里,故事情節才能按照自有的節奏推進發展。今天我們就來繼續探討環境這個問題。
三、品讀與探討(小組合作、討論交流)
1、小說中的環境包含著廣泛的內容,他既是人物活動的地域空間,也是時代的縮影。請同學們通讀整篇小說,說說這篇小說中的環境具體是指哪些“空間”、“縮影”。明確:艾米麗小姐生活的大木屋、小鎮(正在變化的美國南方的“縮影”)、以艾米麗的父親為中心的家庭環境。
2、請從小說中找到對以上環境進行具體描寫的文字,發現這些環境在作者筆下顯現出的特征以及作者描寫環境的一般手法。A、大木屋
第一節:婦女們······這幢房子-------神秘 第二節:房子雖已破敗······莊嚴不可侵犯的形象-------------擬人、象征、房子更是人的命運和某種腐朽了的時代氛圍的象征。第五節:(細節描寫)借參議員代表團拜訪艾米麗的機會展現了大木屋內部的情況----------沒落、寂寥、頑固、保守、沉重、壓抑
第五十一:不訂門牌號,不設郵箱------于世隔絕 第57—61節:(細節描寫)大木屋的最后一個秘密房間------陰慘、專橫、冷酷、堅守一種陳腐的生活方式和價值觀念 B、艾米麗生活的南方小鎮 思考:
1、文中提到的小鎮為什說是美國南方的呢?試著找些依據 第2節----南北戰爭無名軍人墓第3節-----對黑人婦女下的令 第31、32節-----北方佬
2、小說對小鎮客觀環境的描寫極少,但我們能感受到濃郁的 風情,這種風情是通過什么傳達出來的呢?
是通過描寫小鎮上的人傳達出來的。而在小說中對人物的描寫始終 圍繞著中心人物---艾米麗,所以小鎮上的人對待艾米麗小姐的態度和方式以及小鎮的輿論構成了一個艾米麗生活其中的大環境。
3、小鎮人對待艾米麗小姐的態度有沒有隨著時間和事件的推移而變化?這種變或者不變又意味著什么呢? 主要體現在三件事:納稅事件、氣味事件、艾米麗的婚事 主要事件
相關人物
對待艾米麗的態度 納稅事件
沙多里斯上校
敬畏、包容、袒護
第二代領導者
尊重傳統和遵從法律間,選擇了后者
氣味事件
法官斯蒂芬斯
尊敬大于法律
艾米麗婚事
小鎮的人們
一方面,于艾米麗不顧及南方貴族的身份與傳統的行為,大家不甘心這座傳統紀念碑的倒塌。另一方面,艾米麗終于放下貴族的架子,開始戀愛,更符合人性的行為,也是人們所期待的。
C、艾米麗是在什么樣的家庭環境中成長為這樣一個“紀念碑”的。思考:
1、第26----29節,以小鎮人的口吻敘述了艾米麗和她父親之間發生的一些事情,從這些敘述中,你能猜測出其父親的性格特征嗎?他父親的性格和對待她的方式對艾米麗一生有什么影響?文中兩次提到艾米麗父親的炭筆畫像,有什么特殊的意義嗎? 明確:小鎮人把格爾里森一家看做一幅畫中的人物:“身段苗條??嵌住了他們倆的身影”也許人們認為:她父親的性格仿佛太惡毒、太狂暴,使她一生都平添波折。父親的專橫庇護使年輕的艾米麗失去了正常的情感生活,逐漸成長為孤傲專制的南方貴族傳統的標準繼承者。
2、第5節、第56節:兩次父親的畫像,讓我們感覺到,父親死之后,艾米麗依然在父親的目光下活著,以父親傳承給她的生活和思維方式活著,直至生命的盡頭。小結:(探討)
結合閱讀此篇小說的體會,分組探討并概括:小說中的環境一般有哪幾種?在描寫環境、營造氛圍的手法主要有哪些?
環境:人物活動的地點(如:居所、居所所在地)、人物周圍的人的行為方式、思考方式以及輿論所構成的社會環境、特定的歷史階段的時代氛圍等。手法:對客觀環境直接進行細致的描寫,通過描寫中心人物周圍的人對待中心人物的態度和方式構成人物生存的社會環境,用一個人物、一個地點甚至一個事件濃縮整個時代的特征。
第四篇:Love Is An Open Door-獻給艾米麗的玫瑰A Rose for Emily讀后感英文版
Clouds Are Beautiful Only When They’re Floating Free
——79k臨床藥學二班 郭崇真125010202 “Love is like quicksilver in the hand.Leave the fingers open and it stays.Clutch it, and it darts away.”
After reading the novel A Rose for Emily, there are many thoughts wandering in my head.I believe that love needs freedom.If you keep the door of your heart open when you put someone in it, he or she will be able to choose whether be with you to love you back or not.However, once you make it closed, your love will be like a cage that makes the one you love imprisoned.Emily’s father loves Emily too much to let her have normal life as others.He separated her from the men with which she may fall in love.Therefore, she had no one but her father to communicate with, which is a pretty strange thing for a young lady in her age.In this condition, Emily was extremely difficult to form a healthy personality.It’s obvious that Emily’s father failed in teaching her how to love in a proper way.Emily was just fettered.Then she did the same thing as her father.She refused to accept the fact that her father had already died.What’s more terrible, she made Barrow, the man she loves, be with her together forever in a creepy way.Did Barrow love Emily? Perhaps he did.I don’t know whether he had a crush on Emily for a time or not.But I’m sure he was not willing to die especially when he was young and capable.Being loved by such a crazy lady can’t be more tragic, can it?
Did Emily’s servant become dumb by accident? Perhaps he did.I guess his dumbness had something to do with Miss Emily.She may be afraid of being revealed by the servant and make him dumb.However, she lost the only person she can talk with.Emily was shackled by chains of her father’s love.Barrow was shackled by chains of Emily’s love.They are all victims.Does God punish or reward us with love?
Love is supposed to be the fire that will warm your house and brighten your
room.Unfortunately, Emily’s love is a kind of fire that can burn your house down and leave no room for you to sleep in.From my perspective, love is a thing that belongs to two persons.To love is not to let him or her do the things you want him or her to do, but to do the things you two both like to make you feel happy to be with each other.To love is not to limit his or her movements or life, but to let him or her live free.Love is not only a will to possess but a will to present with all respect.“The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.And the best way to keep love is to give it wings to fly free.”
Clouds are beautiful only when they are floating free.So is love.If Miss Emily had learned that, she would leave a sweet love story about a romantic rose to us.
