乔治·艾略特小说中的合唱队

摘要

本文旨在探讨乔治·艾略特小说中的美学技巧—合唱队。在她的七部小说中艾略特继承了古老的戏剧美学技巧—合唱队，将其转变为次要人物运用于小说之中，成为其小说的美学构成部分。本文首先对合唱队进行了简要介绍。接着本文对艾略特早中晚期小说中的合唱队进行探讨。在早期小说中，合唱队的主要作用是提供小说背景，烘托氛围。在中期小说中，合唱队在推动小说情节上有显著作用，这种作用集中体现在一个或两个关键合唱队成员中。在后期小说中，合唱队在叙述背景，给予评论以及推动情节上都有重要的作用。在其后期的小说中，合唱队对于更广阔的社会背景的描绘，更丰富的人物形象以及更复杂的情节都起到了十分重要的作用。艾略特对合唱队的使用呈现了一个逐渐成熟的过程。
　　迄今为止，很少有学者解读过乔治·艾略特小说中的合唱队。因此本文将在一定程度上拓展、丰富关于乔治·艾略特的学术研究。
