老人的一面镜子：《老人与海》中曼诺林形象分析
摘 要55岁的海明威以一部中篇小说《老人与海》力压其他诺贝尔文学奖候选人获得1954年度诺贝尔文学奖。这部小说自诞生以来一直启发着人类思考。但综观评论界，我们发现人们聚焦更多的是硬汉神话和冰山理论，而对于作品中另一个重要的人物小男孩曼诺林，人们的关注却很少。曼诺林对整部小说有着十分重要的影响。小说始于小男孩对老人离而不弃，终于与老人聚到一起，虽然在小说的中间部分小男孩并没有出现，但通读小说，读者始终都能感受到小男孩的真实存在。小男孩与老人的关系远远超越了师徒、朋友，小男孩是老人青春的映射，是老人硬汉形象的继承与延续，更折射出老人硬汉背后的温柔，另外，小男孩也是沟通老人与读者的桥梁，促进了读者对老人形象的理解。本文对小男孩的形象进行分析，以进一步理解整部作品。
