摘要

摘要:直到20世纪60年代中期，梅尔维尔的《贝尼托·塞雷诺》的两种解读方式以相反的方式表达了隐含作者的同情。根据一组解读，反抗的奴隶和他们的领袖巴巴象征着恶魔般的邪恶。根据另一种说法，奴隶们是令人钦佩的自由战士。在过去的一代人中，新的兴趣和新的解释方法使争论过时了。本文以争议为契机，试图解释是什么使得对隐含作者态度的矛盾解读成为可能，又是什么阻碍了他们达成妥协。

Anatomy of an Interpretive Controversy: The Case of Benito Cereno

Abstract:Until the mid-1960s, two groups of readings of Melville's Benito Cereno represented the implied author's sympathies in opposite ways. According to one group of readings, the rebelling slaves and their leader Babo symbolize demonic evil. According to the other, the slaves are admirable freedom fighters. In the last generation, new interests and new interpretive methods have made the controversy obsolete. This article uses the controversy as an opportunity to attempt to explain what makes contradictory readings of an implied author's attitude possible and what prevents them reaching a compromise.
