福克纳深受希腊文化影响。从希腊文化中汲取素材和原型成为他的创作习惯,在他的约克纳帕塔法小说世界中,几乎每部作品中都可以看到希腊文化的影子。这种文化沉淀存在于作家意识的深层次结构之中,极大地增强了作品的艺术张力。研究其代表作品中的希腊文化传统以及与南方主题的互涉,可以更加全面地解读作家借助希腊神话原型来揭示南方的悲剧性命运的艺术目的。 Faulkner is deeply influenced by Greek culture. Drawing on material and archetypes from Greek culture has become his writing habit, and in his Yonnapatta novels world, the shadow of Greek culture can be seen in almost every work. This kind of cultural precipitation exists in the deep structure of the writer’s consciousness, greatly enhancing the artistic tension of the work. Studying the Greek cultural traditions in his representative works and the interaction with the southern themes can more fully understand the artistic purpose of using the Greek mythological prototypes to reveal the tragic fate of the South.
