中文摘要 《远大前程》是英国作家狄更斯的代表作之一。自从出版以来,它吸引了众多文学评论家的注意。本论文是首次运用苏联文艺理论家巴赫金的狂欢化理论来对《远大前程》进行分析。本论文讨论了狂欢节的笑及其在这部小说中所采取的幽默,讽刺及其它弱化了的形式。《远大前程》的主人公匹普被认为是狂欢节之王。他的加冕和脱冕过程表现了巴赫金所说的令人发笑的相对性。狂欢节之宴和具有象征意义的火在狂欢节之王的加冕和脱冕中具有重要的作用。在巴赫金的荒唐现实概念的基础上,本论文把这部小说中的人物当作狂欢节的群体来对他们特殊的语言和行为来进行分析。同时这部小说中又有狂欢化地狱的描述。所有这些都表明这部小说表现了狂欢化理论的基本方面。因此,《远大前程》是一部狂欢化了的小说。 外文摘要 Great Expectations is one of the representative works of Charles Dickens". Since its publication, it has attracted the attention of the critic circle. This thesis is the first academic attempt to apply the carnival theory to the analysis of Dickens" Great Expectations. The theory is raised by the Russian scholar Mikhail Bakhtin. Several key terms of the theory are discussed and used in my study of Great Expectations. Carnival laughter is explored in this novel, which takes the muffled form---humor, satire and irony. The hero Pip of Great Expectations is regarded as the carnival king in the light of carnivalization. Through Pip"s crowning and decrowning, Bakhtin"s notion of joyful relativity is expressed. The carnival feast and the symbol fire play a very important part in his crowning and decrowning. The characters in this novel are discussed as carnival collective on the basis of the conception of grotesque realism. The language of these characters is distinctive which is called "billingsgate language" in Bakhtin"s term. Also the novel is not devoid of the atmosphere of carnival hell. All these indicate that the key aspects of the carnival theory are demonstrated in Great Expectations. This leads to my conclusion that it is a carnivalized novel.
