摘要

想象力的力量和讲故事的能力可以反映出创造和上帝般的能力:只要你能想象,任何事情都可能发生。观察到叙述者和上帝之间的这种联系,本文分析了英国作家多迪·史密斯的《我攻占城堡》(1948)中少女时代的表现。我展示了主人公和叙述者卡桑德拉如何使用她少女时代的框架来叙述和创造她周围人的生活,并审视了她的力量在她开始进入成年女性阶段时发生变化的方式。通过仔细阅读,我理解卡桑德拉的讲故事能力是圣经结构的,我考虑了女孩幻想和父女关系的叙事可能性。

Girlhood as Storytelling and (Anti-)creation in Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle
The power of imagination and the capacity for storytelling can mirror creation and God-like capabilities: anything can occur if one can imagine it. Observing this connection between narrator and God, in this article I analyze the representation of girlhood in British author Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle (1948). I show how protagonist and narrator Cassandra uses the framework of her girlhood to narrate and create the lives of those around her and examine the ways in which her power alters as she begins to enter the stage of grown womanhood. With a close reading that understands Cassandra's storytelling powers as Biblically structured, I consider the narratorial possibilities of girlish fantasy and father-daughter dynamics.
