英语专业毕业论文---探求隐形人中追求自我与存在主义的表现.docVIP

摘 要 通过运用萨特存在主义原理对《看不见的人》中主人公寻找真正存在历程的分析，本文揭示了人对自我价值和生存意义的不懈追寻这一主题。存在主义是十九世纪兴起的一种哲学。它探讨人的存在，生活的无意义无目的，及其人类生存的孤独。但是它并非一种消极哲学。因为，它非常强调人对自由的追求。在《看不见的人》中，就体现了这种思想。 小说的主人公看不见的人是一个非洲裔美国人，他在战后美国种族歧视的背景下经历了存在的困境，曾经痛苦、绝望和孤独。但他并没有屈服于这种命运，而是勇敢地克服了这些悲观的情感，超越了恶劣的环境，最终获得了自由并对自己的行动承担了责任并走出了心理和社会的茫茫迷雾，寻找到了真正的自我价值和本己的真正存在。 关键词：萨特存在主义；身份；种族；自由 Abstract Through the analysis of the hero’s search for his true existence in Invisible Man by employing Sartrean existential theories, this thesis intends to reveal the individual’s persistent pursuit of his own value and the meaning of being alive. Existentialism is a philosophical movement developed from the end of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century. It explores the existence of human being, emphasizes the meaningless and purposeless life, and the loneliness of human existence. However, Existentialism is not depressing, since it attaches great importance to people’s pursuit of freedom. This kind of existentialistic tendency is revealed in this novel. The hero, known as the invisible man in the novel, is an African American. He experiences his existential predicaments in the context of the anti-black racism in postwar America. For this reason, he feels anguished, despairing and lonely. But instead of being resigned to his tragic fate, he gains his freedom and shoulders his responsibility for everything he did by overcoming his sufferings and transcending the vicious conditions. Thus, by going out of the nothingness of existence, he finds his true self. Coming out of the vast fog, he finally finds himself and true existence.
