A Brief Analysis of the Application of Feminist Narratology in Gone with the Wind

摘要

《飘》是一部取材于美国南北战争时期和战后重建的小说。以往，国内外的学者主要是从女性主义，社会达尔文主义与语用角度来解读分析斯嘉丽的人物形象。本文则将结合《飘》的叙事结构与叙事内容，从女性主义叙事学的角度出发，运用三个叙事技巧来分析《飘》的叙事策略：自由间接引语、叙事视角和叙事声音。然后，这篇论文基于女性主义叙事学的分析，来进一步探究作者的写作意图，提升女性的话语权威。

关键词：女性主义叙事学；《飘》；叙事视角；叙事声音；自由间接引语

Abstract

Gone with the wind is a novel which tells Scarlett’s story in the American Civil War and the post-war reconstruction. Scholars at home and aboard read this novel from the feminist, Social Darwinism and pragmatics point of view to analyze the characters of Scarlett. This paper will combine the narrative structure and narrative content to carry out the study of Gone with the Wind from the perspective of feminist narratology, in which three skills are applied to analyze the narrative strategies in Gone with the Wind: free indirect discourse, narrative perspective and narrative voice. Then, the paper will go further to explore the author’s intention and improve the authority of female voice on the basis of feminist narrative analysis.
