史蒂文斯是石黑一雄塑造的典型角色,代表了在传统英国文化熏陶下成长并老去的英国管家形象。此角色是《长日留痕》成功的关键。本文主要从史蒂文斯的个体自我意识觉醒开始分析,探讨主人公是如何一点点从矛盾,尊严和他者自我中由迷失到重新定位自我转变的。在他看似死水一潭的人生当中实则已慢慢获得了自我的柳暗花明。 Stevens is a typical character built by Kazuo Ishiguro and represents the image of a British housekeeper who has grown and aged under the influence of traditional British culture. This role is the key to success. This essay begins with an analysis of Stevens’ awakening of individual self-awareness, and explores how the protagonist is transformed from being lost to reorientation through contradiction, dignity and other self. In his seemingly stagnant life, he actually has slowly gained self-sacrifice.
