An Interpretation of the Dual Culture Conflicts in Lucy’s Heart in A Room with A View_英语论文

摘要

《看得见风景的房间》是爱·摩·福斯特的一本伟大小说。在小说中，福斯特揭露了英国中产阶级的意识缺点，虚伪的道德价值观和落后的社会制度，提倡开放热情的意大利文化，鼓励英国人民在对异质文化的反思中，建立一个平等多样的社会。本论文从文化身份的角度，来解读露西文化身份的演变。首先，讨论在主导文化影响下的文化冲突；其次，分析异质文化的影响；最后，探讨露西文化身份的重构。

关键词：爱·摩·福斯特；《看得见风景的房间》；文化身份；文化冲突
