变形与异化--论《变形记》的悖谬艺术

摘要

Of the writers in the 20th century, Kafka is the best writer to make full use of the absurdity artistry and many of his works are full of absurdity. The doformation of the protaganist of Metamorphosis is the peak work of absurdity artistry. Deformation is the artistic reflection of absurditty and alienation the philosophical connoation of absurdity. Through the mental activities before and after the moment of deformation of the protaganist, and the relation with his family, this novel fully discloses the coldness of human relation and money-dominated social relation veiled under the warmth of capitalist society.%在20世纪作家中，把悖谬艺术发挥得淋漓尽致的作家首推卡夫卡，他的诸多作品大都充满了悖谬色彩。《变形记》中主人公的变形把悖谬艺术推向了极致，变形是悖谬的艺术写照，而异化的主题则是悖谬的哲学意蕴。小说通过主人公变形前后的所思所想以及和家人的先后关系，淋漓尽致地为我们揭露了资本主义温情脉脉面纱下的人情冷暖和金钱利益。
