摘要

摘要: 《士兵的报酬》是福克纳创作的第一部长篇小说，着重叙述一战的影响，探讨了战争、创伤、英雄等话题，成为美国“迷惘的一代”的重要成果。福克纳在小说中通过对战争叙事、欲望表达、英雄价值的勾画，构建了独特的反英雄书写。在战争叙事层面，小说改写了古希腊史诗《奥德赛》当中的“漂泊”与“回家”母题，建构了反英雄的战争叙事，在与《奥德赛》的另一部戏仿之作《尤利西斯》的对比中，可以看到福克纳对英雄的理解与再定义。在欲望表达层面，小说通过对军人欲望真实而大胆的描述，将英雄形象降格，表现其与普通人无异的道德与意志，同时在与小说《太阳照常升起》的对比中，呈现了福克纳独特的性欲表达旨趣。在英雄价值层面，小说通过刻画平民与军人的疏离，揭示了英雄价值的外在失落，并在与海明威小说的对比当中，很好展现福克纳对战争及英雄的辩证思考。《士兵的报酬》作为福克纳长篇小说的起点，小说对战争、性欲、英雄等话题的探讨，构成了福克纳小说创作的重要基石。福克纳以此为基础，在后续的小说创作中对这些话题展开反复书写和拓展，构建了他宏伟辉煌的文学体系。在《士兵的报酬》中，福克纳拆解了传统外在的英雄形象和认知，转而以更为内在的方式建构其英雄主义，成为他后续创作中重要的精神内核。

Abstract: As William Faulkner’s first full-length novel, Soldiers’Pay focuses on the impact of World War I and explores themes such as war, trauma, which heroism, which stands as a significant contribution to the literature of the American “Lost Generation.” By depicting war, desire, and heroic ideals through a critical lens, Faulkner constructs a distinctive mode of anti-heroic writing. On the level of war narrative, the novel rewrites the Homeric motifs of “wandering” and “homecoming” found in the ancient Greek epic The Odyssey, creating an anti-heroic account of war. In comparison with Ulysses, another parodic reworking of The Odyssey, Faulkner’s understanding and redefinition of heroism are brought into sharp relief. In its treatment of desire, the novel offers a realistic and daring portrayal of soldiers’impulses, thereby dismantling the heroic ideal and showing that they possess no greater moral resolve than ordinary individuals. A comparative reading with The Sun Also Rises further illustrates Faulkner’s unique approach to the representation of sexuality. On the level of heroic values, the novel depicts the estrangement between civilians and soldiers, thereby exposing the external erosion of heroism. When placed alongside Hemingway’s fiction, Faulkner’ s dialectical reflection on war and heroism becomes particularly evident. As the starting point of Faulkner’s novelistic career, Soldiers’Pay lays a conceptual foundation for his enduring engagement with the themes of war, sexuality, and heroism—topics that would come to shape the thematic architecture of his broader literary corpus. In this novel, Faulkner deconstructs the traditional, externally constructed image of the hero and begins to reimagine heroism from within, forging a spiritual core that underlies his subsequent works.
