摘要

威廉·卡斯伯特·福克纳（William Cuthbert Faulkner，1897－1962）是美国二十世纪最伟大的小说家之一。《献给艾米丽的玫瑰》是福克纳的短篇小说的代表作，也是“约克纳帕塔法世系”中第一篇以杰弗生镇为背景的短篇小说。

福克纳在这部作品中使用了大量的象征手法，描述了旧南方的没落与衰败，揭示了南北方价值观的冲突，同时也将作者复杂而又矛盾的南方情怀表达得淋漓尽致。本文试图通过对威廉·福克纳最富盛名的短篇小说《献给艾米丽的玫瑰》中艾米丽等人物和玫瑰花、老房子这几个象征意象的具体分析，力图可以更好地理解这篇小说以及福克纳的其他作品。

Abstract

William Cuthbert Faulkner is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century．A Rose for Emily is a masterpiece of Faulkner’s short fictions. It is the first short story of William Faulkner’s the Yoknapatawpha Cycle which is on the background of Jefferson.

In A Rose of Emily, Faulkner uses a lot of exquisite symbols to describe the fall and decline of the Old South and to reveal the conflict between the Old Southern values and the modern Northern values. At the same time, it incisively and vividly expresses Faulkner’s irresistible affection mixed with hate for the Old South. Therefore, this paper tries to analyze its symbolic significance expressed by the images of Emily and other characters, a rose, the old house. So that readers will have a better understanding of the novel and Faulkner’s other works.

Key words: Faulkner; Emily; symbolism
