關(guān)于睡谷傳 奇的評(píng)論

1、睡谷傳奇的藝術(shù)魅力浪漫的表現(xiàn)手法睡谷傳奇是在英國(guó)小說(shuō)家司各特的啟迪下創(chuàng)作的，深受浪漫主義的熏陶。在作品中，歐文把情感傾注于對(duì)英格蘭懷舊式描述中，他贊揚(yáng)鄉(xiāng)村和自然，對(duì)自然與文學(xué)的天然關(guān)系表示出由衷的敬佩。歐文寫(xiě)故事時(shí)，就像一位熱心而博學(xué)的導(dǎo)游，耐心引領(lǐng)讀者，告訴游客關(guān)于當(dāng)?shù)氐牡乩?、歷史、傳說(shuō)、風(fēng)俗，其中夾雜著他本人幽默睿智的評(píng)論。睡谷傳奇中宛如仙境的自然描寫(xiě)，給小說(shuō)罩上了一層濃濃的神秘色彩。這些夢(mèng)幻般的自然場(chǎng)景，不僅是故事發(fā)生的背景，更是故事情節(jié)的一個(gè)重要部分，在烘托氣氛、推動(dòng)情節(jié)發(fā)展、反映人物心情等方面都發(fā)揮著重要作用。在故事的開(kāi)頭，有一段對(duì)沉睡谷的描寫(xiě)，作者還通過(guò)克萊恩的眼睛描述了夕陽(yáng)下的哈

2、德遜河的壯觀場(chǎng)景。歐文使用繪油畫(huà)的手法，把夕陽(yáng)下的美景展現(xiàn)在讀者面前。這里隨著視線(xiàn)的由遠(yuǎn)及近的變換，可以看到大自然魔術(shù)般變幻的色彩。大自然的勃勃生機(jī)表現(xiàn)為寧?kù)o壯闊的美，使讀者身臨其境、留連忘返。作者在字里行間流露出對(duì)大自然深深的眷戀，同時(shí)為故事的發(fā)展鋪墊了輕松的氣氛。同時(shí)，景色描寫(xiě)還有效推動(dòng)情節(jié)發(fā)展。為了制造恐怖的氣氛，作者把夜晚塑造得異常陰森。在故事開(kāi)頭，寧?kù)o的睡谷里有各種巫術(shù)儀式、離奇的傳說(shuō)和奇幻的景象；教堂下山谷下洶涌幽暗的河流、被大樹(shù)濃蔭遮蔽的路和橋、以及發(fā)生在這里的無(wú)頭騎士的傳說(shuō)，都為故事發(fā)展作出了充分的鋪墊。故事中的景色還隨著主人公克萊恩心情的變換而發(fā)生神奇的變化。“一切景語(yǔ)皆情語(yǔ)

3、”，景色不再客觀無(wú)情，而是染上了濃烈的主觀色彩，承載著克萊恩深刻的感情。幽默風(fēng)趣的語(yǔ)言作者在睡谷傳奇幽默風(fēng)趣的語(yǔ)言，無(wú)處不在的揶揄搞笑也使得讀者常常忍俊不禁。文中幽默風(fēng)趣的語(yǔ)言首先表現(xiàn)在奇特的比喻上。作者還使用夸張手法，增加幽默效果。不容他人阻礙他的愛(ài)情的布魯姆，性子比暴烈的阿喀琉斯更甚。阿喀琉斯是伊利亞特中的英雄，由于統(tǒng)帥阿加門(mén)農(nóng)把已經(jīng)許給他的戰(zhàn)利品他所深?lèi)?ài)的一個(gè)美麗女孩送走了。這種夸張手法增加了布魯姆在克萊恩心目中的威攝力。此外，作者還對(duì)個(gè)性突出的人和動(dòng)物，在取名上都花了不少功夫。主人公克萊恩(Crane)與他的外表恰如其分地吻合；布魯姆是一個(gè)體格強(qiáng)壯的年輕人，作者給他取了個(gè)綽號(hào)“骨頭布魯

4、姆”(Brom Bones);克萊恩借來(lái)的老馬性情暴烈，被稱(chēng)為“火藥”等（Gunpowder）;布魯姆的馬匹象他本人一樣，又淘氣又大膽，因此得名“鬼大膽”（Dare devil）。這些綽號(hào)的使用把一個(gè)個(gè)有趣的形象展現(xiàn)在讀者面前，為故事增加了許多幽默風(fēng)趣的氣氛。摘自睡谷傳奇的藝術(shù)魅力肖成龍（上海金融學(xué)院）南方論刊2009年第11期My perspectives:Firstly, I would like to admit that Washington Irving, the first American writer enjoying the international reputation

5、and also a representative of American Romanticists in early American literary history, won the great title of “Father of American Literature.” His works range from the fantastic tales to the serious historical biographies. The readers across the Atlantic were most fascinated by his English literary

6、manner and the beautiful American setting in his imaginative fictions, and by the artistic and elegant qualities in Irvings works, as well as its satire which appears genial or ungentle. These qualities have raised American literature to a place in the world's literature. Irving helps to discove

7、r “real America” and he caricatures the ridiculous aspects of American life: materialism, complacency and smugness with his remarkable satirical essays. He is a detached observer and commentator of the rather panoramic life of his time; he is a satirist, critic and judge of that age with his unique

8、feature. Through transplanting the European folklore to American land, Irving created American legends, but this method is often regarded as a severe imitation of European literature. But it still has a great impact on America, including the latter writers writing style and the way of southwestern h

9、umor etc. Each coin has two sides, and in terms of it, we should take the essence and discard the dregs. Then, as for the ideas of the writer, Xiaochenglong, I do agree with him and the following I will have a detailed illustration of these features mentioned above in my own point of view.The first

10、feature of romantic technique of expression is prominent through the fiction.The classics written in graphic format can give young adults a new perspective of great literature. This collection has an excellent graphic format with detailed illustrations from beginning to the ending. All of the essent

11、ial and relevant elements of the story are included to give the reader an accurate adaptation of the original work. Young adult readers will enjoy the full horror of the story under the graphic description of surroundings. This is an excellent addition to the graphic novel collection that will allow

12、 struggling readers the ability to understand some of the classics in a simpler format, while the graphic illustrations will appeal to reluctant readers. Under the influence of European literature, he is also excellent in quotation with rhetoric devices to achieve the delicate and humorous descripti

13、on, involving the using of alliteration、metaphor、simile and so on. That is a magic way of making characters in the legend of sleepy hollow lively and vivid.The second character of humorous and witty language also impressed readers. The recipe lies in that Irving made these the plain dramatic people

14、more theatrical with his talent for humor and the readers found the familiar characters that are quite similar to their imagined Ichabod and Brom or even more vivid and lively. In his novels he seldom discusses but shows the living circumstances and the characters personality by developing the plots

15、 step by step. In addition, his tone of wit and humor makes the story told in the leisurely and pleasing way. A great many illusions and fantasies can be found in his fiction, which serve only as the method to render the story more fascinating and absorbing, not as the terminal aim. We can perceive

16、the humor through the all article, from the exaggeration of the schoolmasters appearance and actions and the sharp contrast of characters of the two rivals in love to the contrast comparison between human and animal of their funny nicknames. Throughout the detailed illustrations of things, for insta

17、nce, the party in Katrinas house, Ichabod was even treated and regarded as a tool to promote the affections between Bones and Katrina. Whats more, Ichabods encounter with the Headless Horseman is the dramatic climax of the story. The absurd ending makes readers laugh with scorn and unconsciously thi

18、nk what a stupid person he is. Actually, in the novel, Ichabod Crane is “a precocious effete New Englander, shrewd, commercial, a city-slicker, who is rather an interloper, a somewhat destructive force, in village life, and who comes along to swindle the villagers.” Ichabod Crane is the target of satire in the story as a destroyer not in harmony with the self-satisfied region. Due to his narrow-mindedness, avarice, snobbery and credulity, so he couldnt succeed in wooing Katrina and is finally driven
