奥康纳常以讽刺的手法表现对人性的思考,《善良的乡下人》同样如此。本文从生态批评视角出发,通过自然生态、社会生态和精神生态三个生态子系统的失衡对小说主题进行剖析,表现出作者对人类精神污染的辛辣讽刺和对逝去的淳朴民风的无限缅怀。 O’Connor often uses ironic tactics to reflect on human nature, as is the “kind countryman.” From the perspective of ecocriticism, this paper analyzes the theme of the novel through the unbalance of the three ecological subsystems of natural ecology, social ecology and spiritual ecology, showing the author’s spicy satire on human spiritual pollution and his endless cherished memory of the past simple folk style.
