在20世纪的描述中,寓言不是作为一种叙事的文体,而被视为一种写作风格。寓言的整个叙事,通过一系列多义的形象限定和阐发了这些意义;寓言的叙事结构和形象试图在行动中建立一个不同价值的等级秩序,揭示特殊和一般,赋予经验的表达以意义与目的。寓言主要把解释看作是一种策略,寓言的形象同时包含了叙事的字面意义层面和有待解释的寓意层面。也就是说,现代寓言的意义是暗示性的,而不是由文字叙事隐含的复杂性清楚地表达的。因为叙事和意义之间的关系不是建立在相似性基础上,而是建立在可以引发多种解释的意义模式的基础上,由于绝对事物的缺席,现代寓言叙事不能终止解释的过程,而是以无法做出定论而告终。本文主要对20世纪影响巨大的现代寓言理论作一较全面的研究 In the description of the 20th century, fables are not regarded as a style of narrative but as a writing style. The whole narrative of fables defines and elucidates these meanings through a series of images of righteousness. The narrative structure and image of fable tries to establish a hierarchical order of different values ​​in action, revealing the special and general experience empirically with meaning and purpose . Fable mainly regards explanation as a tactic. The image of allegory contains both the literal level of narration and the moral level to be explained. In other words, the meaning of modern allegory is suggestive rather than clearly expressed by the implied complexity of the narrative. Because the relationship between narrative and meaning is not based on the similarity but based on the meaning patterns that can lead to multiple interpretations, modern allegory narrative can not terminate the explanation process due to the absurd thing, Can not conclude without conclusion. This article mainly makes a more comprehensive study of the modern allegory theory which has great influence in the 20th century
