论海明威准则英雄的形象_英语论文

The image of Hemingway’s code hero

摘要

作为20世纪最具有代表性的美国文学宗师—海明威，肯尼迪总统曾经这样评价他：几乎没有哪个美国人比欧内斯特·海明威对美国人民的感情和态度产生过更大的影响。海明威依据自身丰富而独特的人生经历塑造了海明威式的“硬汉”形象，亦被称为“准则英雄”。海明威运用丰富的写作手法塑造了这些“准则英雄”。事实上，每个“准则英雄”都有其局限性。但是“准则英雄”所体现的“硬汉精神”及其人生态度和对社会的价值才是现代人需要研究和思考的核心所在。

本文通过解读海明威代表作品中的几位主人公，来分析“准则英雄”形象的发展过程和演化原因，并探讨“准则英雄”的局限性及其对现代社会的意义。

关键词：海明威；准则英雄；人物塑造；硬汉精神
