文学研究者对小说中主角判断的方法,是统计其名字出现的次数,谁出现的
次数最多,谁就是主角。假设小说中引用的人名前都有@引导。对于下面这篇两
个段落的短文,其主角便为Thackeray。
Several pages before the novel actually ends, @Thackeray writes a fake
ending, to satirize conventional happy endings. He deliberately
throws in a repetitious series of cliches often used for endings–the
vessel is in port, the hero gets what he yearned for all his life,
and the bird comes home and sits on his shoulder billing and cooing.
Then @Thackeray prose swells into a crescendo of sentimentality and
more repetition: "This is what he has asked for every day and hour
for eighteen years. This is what he pined after. Here it is–the summit,
the end–the last page of the third volume". Then he bids goodbye to
@Dobbin and @Amelia , and of course slips in the reference to her as
a parasite. The repetition points up the lack of real meaning and the
indulgence of emotion for its own sake. Unwary readers, in his day
and ours, accept his statement and emotion at face value, ignore the
parasite reference, and so miss the satire. Not even the fact that
the novel was published in two volumes, not three, alerted some of
his contemporaries. The style and sentimentality of @Thackeray false
ending are similar to passages that @Dickens wrote.
为简化处理,假定人名后面不会跟标点符号,也不会跟后缀所有格或复数形式,
且不会出现多个主角或没有主角的情况。你的任务是确定每篇小说中谁是主角。
