摘要/Abstract
在果戈理的创作中,魔法力量具有重要意义。在其代表作《死魂灵》和《钦差大臣》中,魔法力量的存在均是建构叙事的关键,但二者所采用的叙事模式迥然不同。《死魂灵》中的魔法力量通过主人公乞乞科夫发散出来,他作为一个带有魔力的“闯入者”,在情节发展中发挥着主导作用;《钦差大臣》中的魔法力量则通过特殊的空间??“魔地”表现出来,主人公赫列斯塔科夫是一个被动角色。
Magic power plays an important role in Nikolai Gogol’s writings. It is the key element of narration in his two masterpieces Dead Souls and The Government Inspector, but the narrative modes of magic power in the two are different. The magic power in Dead Souls is reflected in the hero Chichikov, who dominates the plot development as a magic “intruder”. While the magic power in The Government Inspector manifests itself through a special bewitched space rather than being reflected by Khlestakov, who is only a passive character.
