由《浮生》看印度种姓制度的烙印

摘要

The profound ideological implication is embodied in Half A Life written by British Indian writer V.S.Naipaul. His semi-autobiographical novel uncovers how the Caste System exposes its pedantry in education, marriage and profession. The brand of Indian Caste System is represented through the perspective of Willie and his father.%英国印度裔作家维·苏·奈保尔晚期的代表作《浮生》包含着深刻的思想内涵。他以半自传性质的小说形式揭露了后殖民时代的印度依然存在着代表严格阶级体制的种姓制度如何在教育、婚姻和职业方面暴露它的迂腐，成为影响印度社会进步的桎酷。奈保尔透过威力父子的视角为读者再现了种姓制度的烙印。
