不同的时代，不同的逃避原因————关于《瑞普·凡· 温克尔》与《王质烂柯》的对比研究

摘  要华盛顿欧文是美国文学历史上最受欢迎的作家之一。在他的一生当中，他经常在逃避，这在一定程度上，影响了他的逃避zhuyi思想的形成。在瑞普·凡·温克尔这个著名的故事当中，欧文的逃避zhuyi思想也有所体现。这个精炼的小说当中，逃避是最为清晰的主题。而与瑞普·凡·温克尔有着相似主题的中国古代故事，王质烂柯写于与其完全不同的时代。虽然他们有着相似的逃避的主题，但仔细研究会发现，在不同的背景下，逃避背后的原因是截然不同的。为了对不同的原因有更加深入的研究，本论文将从七个部分进行阐述。第一部分为引言，主要介绍瑞普·凡·温克尔和王质烂柯两个故事的背景。第二部分是关于文献综述。第三、四部分阐述两个故事在各自的时代背景下逃避zhuyi的来源。第五、六部分给出两个主人公，瑞普·凡·温克尔和王质各自的逃避原因以及分析。最后一部分是总结。

本文是从逃避zhuyi的角度分析两部作品中主人公逃避的原因，以此来感知两位来自完全不同背景的作家是如何用类似的手法和情节来表现当时的社会状况。同时通过这个对比分析，人们也能够结合社会状况，发现两个故事中主动和被动的逃避，由此对他们自己的生活有更加深入的思考。
