摘要
本文以非洲文学之父 Chinua Achebe 的作品《Things Fall Apart》中对伊格博文化的描述为基础,分析了伊格博社会的文化特征以及在特定社会背景下小说情节发展的必然性。文章还讨论了主人公奥孔科沃性格塑造的复杂性,包括作者赋予他的象征意义和深思熟虑。最后,我们得出结论,阿契贝颠覆西方中心主义的尝试不仅是为了改变欧洲人的态度,也是为了纠正其同胞的认识。
Analyzing the Inevitability of the Plot of Things Fall Apart Through the Post Colonial Perspective
Based on the description of Igbo culture in Things Fall Apart, the father of African literature Chinua Achebe’s work, this article analyzes the cultural characteristics of Igbo society and the inevitability of the development of the plot of novels under specific social contexts. It also provides a discussion of the complexities of the characterization of the main character, Okonkwo, including the symbolism and deliberation that the author assigns to him. Finally, we conclude that Achebe’s attempt on overturning Western-centrism is not only for changing Europeans’ attitude, but also for correcting his compatriots’ recognition.
