《占有》之象征意象的文化解读

象征意象的成功运用是《占有》小说语言的显著特色之一。人物和地点的名称所构成的意象象征女性封闭的物理或心理空间；对“白色空床”的共同梦想象征着两位当代学者对简单秩序的共同渴望；象征性对词的使用突显了小说丰富的历史文化内涵。象征意象连接历史和现实、时间和空间，在表现主题和建构文本方面极富重要性。

A cultural interpretation of symbolic images in Possession

The successful use of symbolic images is one of the strong features of the fictional language in Possession.The images formed by the names of the characters and places symbolize the females' confined physical or psychological spaces;the same dream for the "white empty beds" symbolizes the two contemporary scholars' common desire for simplicity and order;the use of the symbols in pairs greatly reveals the rich historical and cultural meanings in the novel.The symbolic images link history and reality,time and space,and are significant in theme presenting and text constructing.
