解析 本文作者威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯(1883-1963)是20世纪美国最负盛名的几个作家 之一,与象征派和意象派联系紧密。威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯的一生主要是行医,直到50 年代开始业余从事文学创作。他坚持“美国本色”,力求用美国本土语言写作,很少使用普 通读者所不熟悉的词汇。《使用暴力》是威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯的经典著作之 《使用暴力》这一短篇主要以第一人称“我”的视角,讲述一名医生应邀为 Olson家的 女儿 Mathilda看病的经历。 Mathilda被怀疑患有白喉,但是出于恐惧和倔强,她拼命反抗, 拒绝配合医生的检查,这使得医生在检查过程中遇到不少困难。而 Mathilda的父母对孩子 过分疼爱,在检查过程中不能有效制止女儿的反抗举动,这也让“我”十分恼火和轻蔑。双 方的矛盾不断升级,“我”的愤怒也愈加强烈。面对毫不配合的 Mathilda,“我”最终决定使 用暴力完成检查。 本文以“我”与 Mathilda的矛盾为主线,生动地讲述了在检查时“我”与 Mathilda之 间的反抗与斗争。通过对人物语言和神态的表述,生动形象地刻画出人物的心理变化和性格 特征。小说主人公 Mathilda是一个十分倔强的小女孩。她竭尽全力对医生的检查进行反抗, 尽管我们并不知道这种反抗是出于恐惧导致的逆反心理或是其他某种原因。无论是竭斯底里 的尖叫和挣扎,还是即使被咬断的压舌板刺破嘴巴也不肯张嘴,都生动的表现出 Mathilda 内心的倔强以及对医生浓浓的敌意。 小说的高潮部分,即“我”对 Mathilda的反抗极其愤怒,心生征服欲望而最终采用暴 力完成检查,同时又为自己的征服欲辩解时,作者对“我”的内心活动描绘的十分传神。“我” 在心里把 Mathilda称为“ a savage brat”,以及使用“ demand”,“fury”等词,表现出“我” 对 Mathilda的强烈不满与愤怒。这段描写生动地刻画出“我”的思想内容和人物形象,使 读者可以直接体会到医生的愤怒和焦急,同时也会使人想到医生善于狡辩,极力为自己的征 服欲做掩饰。 在叙述上,文章以第一人称为视角,通过作者自己的讲述使读者了解到小说的情节变化 以及人物的心理状态,在描述的过程中内、外视角交替使用。此外,文章中大量引用“我” 说的话以及 Mathilda与父母之间的对话,这不仅能把直接表达出人物要讲的话,而且可以 生动地刻画出人物的内心活动及性格特点。这种方式呈现在读者面前的是 Mathilda,父母和 “我”的思想内容,而非读者自行总结出来的思想。第一人称叙述视角和引用人物的语言使 读者与人物之间的距离大大缩小,人物性格更加生动鲜明,故事更易于被读者接受。同时
