Irony in Gulliver s Travels and Flowers in the Mirror

浅析格列佛游记中的讽刺手法浅析格列佛游记中的讽刺手法摘 要作为最伟大的讽刺作品之一，格列佛游记自从其出版三百年来一直吸引着诸多读者和评论家。评论界就其书中所表现的讽刺艺术展开了激烈的争论，而且这些争论一直没有停息。因此，从某种意义上来说只有对小说中所展示的斯威夫特的讽刺艺术进行深入的研究，我们才能真正的体会到斯威夫特讽刺之精彩和讽刺之目的其“弦外之音”、“言外之意”。 通过本文分析，结论是小说不是在炫耀斯威夫特的娴熟高超的讽刺技巧，而是在试图借助于其娴熟高超的讽刺技巧来完美其所处的社会。关键词：斯威夫特,格列佛游记,讽刺,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 全英文本科毕业论文(包含开题报告和任务书)*1.

C. Murcke和Wayne C. Booth。论文共分五章。第一章介绍了反讽的概念、这两部小说的基本内容以及我的研究方法。第二章提供了一些相关的反讽理论、有关于这两部小说的批评理论,以及对于它们的反讽的一个初步探讨。第三章和第四章分别分析了格列佛游记和镜花缘中的反讽现象,其分析框架根据两书的特点略有不同。第五章给出了简短的结论。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.目录:中文摘要 第4-5页 Abstract 第5页 TABLE OF CONTENTS 第6-8页 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 第8-16页 Why Do I Choose this Topic?1 第8-9页 What Is Irony? 第9-11页 About these Two Novels 第11-15页 About Gullivers Travels 第11-13页 About Flowers in the Mirror 第13-15页 What Am I Going to Do? 第15-16页 CHAPTER TWO SOME BACKGROUNDS 第16-35页 Theories of Irony 第16-24页 The Evolution of the Concept of Irony 第16-18页 The Classifications of Irony 第18-21页 The Reconstruction of Irony 第21-23页 Irony Versus Satire 第23-24页 Related Criticism on Gullivers Travels and Flowers in the Mirror 第24-33页 Critical Responses to Gullivers Travels 第24-28页 Critical Reponses to Flowers in the Mirror 第28-31页 Comparative Studies of these Two Novels 第31-33页 Being Aware of the Irony in these Two Works 第33-35页 CHAPTER THREE IRNOY IN GULLIVERS TRAVELS 第35-44页 Irony in Subject Matters 第35-41页 Irony Connected with Human Pride 第35-38页 Irony Connected with Social Wrongs 第38-40页 Irony of Fate 第40-41页 Irony by Analogy 第41-42页 Irony by Naivety 第42-44页 CHAPTER FOUR IRONY IN FLOWERS IN THE MIRROR 第44-55页 Irony in Subject Matters 第44-49页 Irony Connected with Chinese Fe
