    摘要:

    弗兰纳里·奥康纳被公认是继福克纳之后美国南方最杰出的作家,在世界文学中影响巨大,她的作品阴郁,诡异,对人性有着惊人的洞察力。她的创作中大都有浓重的南方意识和天主教意识,而从另外一个角度观察,她的小说体现了一种存在主义困境。以短篇小说集《好人难寻》为例,小说表达了一种强烈的厌恶感,这种厌恶感不仅体现在对人的生存环境的描写上,还反映在个体的体验上;同时,作品还体现了人与人的相处中的折磨与纠缠,“他人就是地狱”;尽管社会本身是有着多元色彩的,人却只能在不断选择的过程中体验存在的困境,人只能有相对的自由;但是,也有一些反英雄义无反顾地追逐着自己的自由,尽管这样的追逐很荒谬;通过小说中人物对于宗教的态度或神父角色的描写,小说拷问了现实宗教的意义。

    Abstract:

    Flannery O’Connor, compared with Faulkner, is considered as one of the greatest writers in south of America. She exerted a great influence in literature all over the world. Religion and the South are the two important elements in her works. From another perspective, her novels reveal the predicament of existentialism. The short stories collection “A good man is hard to Find” is taken as an example for analysis: firstly, the novel conveys a sense of disgust. It could be felt in both the environment and the description of the character. Secondly, the relationship between human beings is worse than ever. People could feel only isolation and torture. Thirdly, although the society is full of varied choices, people are bewildered by the few options they could take. Still, some anti- heroes make relentless efforts to pursue their goals. Fourthly, the novel questions the meaning of religion by describing some stereotyped priest.
