An Analysis of Buck’s Dynamic Self-contradiction in The Call of the Wild Abstract Buck, the main character in The Call of the Wild, is a character of dynamic self-contradiction: at different times, his contradiction shows different intensities, according to the balance between his nostalgia towards human civilization and his instinct to obey the Nature’s call, which is dynamic, too, closely related to the degree of civilization of his different masters。 The wildness is always there in his blood, but its dynamic trait makes him sometimes a gentle dog, other times a wolf。 Thus, the call of the wild is changeable, giving Buck an ambivalent character。 On the other hand, to some degree it is Buck’s own will that controlled the intensity of the wild。 Buck’s self-contradiction also reflects the author’s personalities caused by his complicated life experiences。 74999

《野性的呼唤》中巴克的动态性自我矛盾的分析

摘要杰克·伦敦所著的《野性的呼唤》的主人公巴克不但是自我矛盾的,而且这种自我矛盾在不同的时期表现出不同的强度:也就是说是动态的。巴特的矛盾产生于在对文明生活的留恋和追寻野性的本能之间难以保持平衡;而这种动态变化则是因为野性对他的呼唤是不稳定的。当巴克和他的不同的主人待在一起的时候,从他的行为表现中我们可以看出野性对他的不同的影响。即使野性是一直存在于巴克的血液中的,但是它的动态特质使巴克有时看起来是一条温顺的大狗,有的时候却是一匹真正的狼。因此,野性的呼唤是变化着的,这也是巴克的自我矛盾的原因。而且在很大程度上,是巴克自己的意愿控制了野性对他的呼唤强度。而这部小说的作者---杰克·伦敦,是二十世纪初一位伟大的作家。他有一个类似于巴克的人生旅程。巴克的自我矛盾也能反射出杰克·伦敦的一些性格特征。

1。Introduction

Buck is a complex and ambivalent character。 What is his self-contradiction? How contradictorily does he behave? Why are the causes? In my paper, I analyze Buck’s self-contradiction and try to find out the reasons。 Many scholars have already analyzed Buck。 According to Duan, Buck has dual identities: on the one hand, he is a dog, who reminds us that wildness hide at the bottom of human hearts; on the other hand, he has human traits。 As the sign of all creatures, his story tells us all creatures have to obey the rules under different circumstances (Duan Xiaoli,2006)。 Some believe Buck is the mirror of Jack London。 Yang, for instance, thinks this novel depicts how Buck turns from a dog to a leading wolf that returns to nature。 Buck reflects not only the figure of the author but also his aspirations and pursuits。 When comparing Buck with the author, it can be said that Buck is the author himself---the combination of reality and ideal (Yang Le, 19)。
