An Analysis of the Symbols in The Little Prince_英语论文

摘要

《小王子》是法国著名作家安东德尼·德·圣埃克絮佩利于1942年创作的著名儿童短篇小说。书中以一位飞行员作为故事叙述者,讲述了小王子在B612星球上的生活,在各个星球上的所见所闻,飞行员与小王子的相处过程以及小王子最终以死亡回归的故事。该书自出版以来畅销全球,被多次改编为话剧和电影,广受各界好评。

本论文分为三章:第一章分析《小王子》中主要人物的象征意义,包括揭示出人性消极一面的人物——六个星球上的居民,以及人性积极一面的人物——小王子和飞行员。第二章分析《小王子》中主要动物和植物意象,通过文本细读,结合已有研究文献,分析其中几个动物和植物的深层象征意义。第三章分析小王子与书中其他角色的互动以及其象征意义,包括小王子与飞行员之间的沟通,小王子与“大人们”之间的隔阂等。本文认为:《小王子》采用看似传统的童话故事结构,借助象征手法,以天真简洁的语言揭示了一个个掩盖于喧嚣生活表面下的深刻人生哲理。《小王子》的丰富象征及深刻内涵正是其深受各年龄段读者欢迎的原因所在。
