解读《杀死一只知更鸟》中的人物——布。拉德利

摘  要《杀死一只知更鸟》作为一本启蒙小说，控诉了种族歧视的种种，同时也对当时社会呈现的社会偏见和种族歧视提出抗议。这部小说是哈勃。李的代表作，同时也是她唯一出版了的作品。这部小说大体讲述了两个故事：一个是关于神秘的拉德利，另一个则是讲述无辜的汤姆。罗宾逊的故事。尽管来自不同的种族，他们还是有很多的共同点。他们俩都是作者笔下的无辜的“知更鸟”。作者将这两个人物置于一本小说里，证明了正义和同情可以冲破种族和偏见的阻碍。在这篇论文中将会呈现一个迷人而又神秘的角色——布。拉德利。

几乎所有《杀死一只知更鸟》的读者一开始都会被拉德利这个角色所呈现的神秘和特别所吸引。同时，当读这部小说时，读者们会忍不住想要知道拉德利到底是个怎样的人，并且会被这个角色所演绎出的善良，单纯和正义的品质所感染。之所以读者会有这样的心理变化，是因为哈勃。李有意地渲染拉德利的神秘气息。在这篇论文中，我将通过分析拉德利的经历，家庭，社会背景以及他的行为来揭开拉德利的神秘面纱。在青少年的成长过程中，家庭因素和社会因素将会被给予重视和强调。这也是这篇论文的写作目的。
