《黑暗的心》和《年轻的古德曼·布朗》分别是英美文学中最有名的作品之一。这两部由不同国籍的作家在不同时期创作的作品尽管叙述方式不同,却有着相同的以旅程模式为中心的情节结构,相同的二元对立式意象、象征结构,都以历史、宗教和神话为基础建立起相同的题材结构,最终可归结出相同的主题模式。 “Dark Heart” and “Young Goodman Brown” are respectively one of the most famous works in Anglo-American literature. The two compositions written by authors of different nationalities in different periods have the same plot structure centered on the journey mode despite the different narrative styles. The same binary opposition imagery and symbolic structure are based on history, religion and Myths based on the establishment of the same subject matter structure, and ultimately can be summed up the same theme mode.
