《捕蜂器》是当代英国小说家伊恩·班克斯的处女作,也是他的成名作。小说中,伊恩·班克斯对人性的善恶及社会的黑暗洞察入微,在一系列看似恐怖血腥的故事中隐藏着作者对人类命运的深度思考。本文从小说中三个人物(父亲、埃里克和弗兰克)的人生经历入手,深入分析了他们各自悲剧的原因,揭示了爱的缺失是造成小说中人物人性扭曲、性格变态的主要原因。 The bee-keeper is the debut of contemporary British novelist Ian Banks and his fame. In the novel, Ian Banks explores the good and evil of human nature and the darkness of society in a series of seemingly horrible and bloody stories that hide the author’s deep thinking on the fate of mankind. This article starts with the life experience of three characters (father, Eric and Frank), deeply analyzes the reasons of their tragedies, and reveals that the lack of love is the main reason that causes the human nature distortions and personality metamorphosis in the novels.
