Abstract:

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was one of the most famous modern novelists in the         twentieth century England. She and Joyce are regarded as the two most significant representatives of the stream of consciousness. In her novel Jacob’s Room, she uses just a few lines to describe the room, and so does she do Jacob the hero. Virginia uses recurring images, such as the room Jacob lives in, the sea and so on to reveal the characters’ mental activities. And she also uses these images to create a montage, which plays the role of clues and headline-style association. This paper, by analyzing some inconspicuous images in the novel, aims to tell that the author wants to express her unique anti-war thoughts that lash out at the British educational system of that era which lured youth into militancy.

Key words: Virginia Woolf ; Jacob's Room; image; anti-war thoughts

摘要：

弗吉尼亚•伍尔夫（1882-1941）是20世纪英格兰最著名的现代主义小说家之一。她和乔伊斯被认为是两位最重要的意识流代表。她的小说《雅各的房间》中对房间的描写只是寥寥数笔，对于雅各这位男主人公的描写也很少，它借助雅各住的房间、海水等反复的出现意象来展示人物的思想意识。伍尔夫借助于这些意象,从一个情节跳跃到另一个情节,产生蒙太奇般的画面效果,深刻地揭示小说的内涵，小说中这些意象的运用还起了暗示线索和标题式联想的作用。本课题通过对小说中一些主要意象和不明显意象的剖析解读，深入探究作者希望通过意象所表达的反战思想以及对英国教育文化结构使年轻人充满了尚武思想变成心甘情愿的战争牺牲品的辛辣抨击。
