Irony in Gulliver s Travels and Flowers in the Mirror

淺析格列佛游記中的諷刺手法淺析格列佛游記中的諷刺手法摘 要作為最偉大的諷刺作品之一，格列佛游記自從其出版三百年來一直吸引著諸多讀者和評論家。評論界就其書中所表現(xiàn)的諷刺藝術(shù)展開了激烈的爭論，而且這些爭論一直沒有停息。因此，從某種意義上來說只有對小說中所展示的斯威夫特的諷刺藝術(shù)進行深入的研究，我們才能真正的體會到斯威夫特諷刺之精彩和諷刺之目的其“弦外之音”、“言外之意”。 通過本文分析，結(jié)論是小說不是在炫耀斯威夫特的嫻熟高超的諷刺技巧，而是在試圖借助于其嫻熟高超的諷刺技巧來完美其所處的社會。關(guān)鍵詞：斯威夫特,格列佛游記,諷刺,寓言,暗示 Analysis of the Irony in Gullivers TravelsABSTRACTGullivers Travels, one of the greatest satirical works, has occupied interested critics and readers for nearly three hundred years and aroused heated critical arguments about the ironical art revealed in the book since its first publication. And the controversies over the Gullivers Travels have never come to an end in the literary field, ever since. So in some way, only by researching into Swifts irony skills displayed in the novel can we really know how excellent his ironical art is and what the real purpose of his irony is - what he really means. Through the analysis in this paper, the conclusion is that the novel is not just showing off Swifts expert skills of irony, but attempting to do something to perfect the society with the help of his expert skills of irony.Key words: Swift, Gullivers Travels, irony, ironical allegory, allusion 全英文本科畢業(yè)論文(包含開題報告和任務書)*1.

C. Murcke和Wayne C. Booth。論文共分五章。第一章介紹了反諷的概念、這兩部小說的基本內(nèi)容以及我的研究方法。第二章提供了一些相關(guān)的反諷理論、有關(guān)于這兩部小說的批評理論,以及對于它們的反諷的一個初步探討。第三章和第四章分別分析了格列佛游記和鏡花緣中的反諷現(xiàn)象,其分析框架根據(jù)兩書的特點略有不同。第五章給出了簡短的結(jié)論。This thesis is intended to study the phenomenon of irony in two novels, Gullivers Travels by the English writer Jonathan Swift and Flowers in the Mirror by the Chinese writer Li Ru-zhen. Irony has been a slippery concept and it will be a worthwhile attempt in comparative studies and critical sphere to survey the ironies and ironic spirit in two works from different literary traditions. It is in common knowledge that Swift is a great ironist and his ironic strength does not fail in Gullivers Travels; Flowers in the Mirror is a Chinese novel with avowedly resemblance to Gullivers Travels, but there is not yet any serious work devoted to the irony in Flowers in the Mirror, let alone the simultaneous investigation of irony in both works. The theories of irony come from various sources, but mainly from the works by D. C. Murcke and Wayne C. Booth. The thesis contains five chapters: Chapter One introduces the concept of irony, the contents of these two works in question, and lays out my survey method. Chapter Two presents theories concerning irony, critical responses to these two novels, and a glimpse of the ironic spirit in them. Chapter Three and Chapter Four give descriptions of irony in Gullivers Travels and Flowers in the Mirror respectively; the treatment accorded to each is largely similar, and meanwhile attention is paid to their singularities. Chapter Five offers a brief conclusion. As a bold and inconclusive attempt, this paper hopes to throw light on further studies in this area and awaits improvement by others.目錄:中文摘要 第4-5頁 Abstract 第5頁 TABLE OF CONTENTS 第6-8頁 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 第8-16頁 Why Do I Choose this Topic?1 第8-9頁 What Is Irony? 第9-11頁 About these Two Novels 第11-15頁 About Gullivers Travels 第11-13頁 About Flowers in the Mirror 第13-15頁 What Am I Going to Do? 第15-16頁 CHAPTER TWO SOME BACKGROUNDS 第16-35頁 Theories of Irony 第16-24頁 The Evolution of the Concept of Irony 第16-18頁 The Classifications of Irony 第18-21頁 The Reconstruction of Irony 第21-23頁 Irony Versus Satire 第23-24頁 Related Criticism on Gullivers Travels and Flowers in the Mirror 第24-33頁 Critical Responses to Gullivers Travels 第24-28頁 Critical Reponses to Flowers in the Mirror 第28-31頁 Comparative Studies of these Two Novels 第31-33頁 Being Aware of the Irony in these Two Works 第33-35頁 CHAPTER THREE IRNOY IN GULLIVERS TRAVELS 第35-44頁 Irony in Subject Matters 第35-41頁 Irony Connected with Human Pride 第35-38頁 Irony Connected with Social Wrongs 第38-40頁 Irony of Fate 第40-41頁 Irony by Analogy 第41-42頁 Irony by Naivety 第42-44頁 CHAPTER FOUR IRONY IN FLOWERS IN THE MIRROR 第44-55頁 Irony in Subject Matters 第44-49頁 Irony Connected with Chinese Fe
