“恐怖”是埃德加·爱伦·坡短篇小说的一个重要主题,也是爱伦·坡一直追求所要达到的效果统一的一部分。恐怖效果的构建,不仅可以从故事的情节本身上得以实现,还可以从故事的叙事结构上加以营造和深化。在爱伦·坡的作品中,叙述结构的精心安排与选择以建构出恐怖效果,都体现了爱伦·坡高超的叙事艺术。从叙事视角分析其短篇小说《泄密的心》,将叙事结构的形式和功能相统一,探索如何通过递进式和封闭式的叙事结构构造作者预设的恐怖效果,一方面可以弥补以往从题材角度分析的不足,同时也有助于更好地理解爱伦·坡的创作艺术和作品主题。 “Terror ” is an important theme of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story and part of Allan Poe’s quest for unity of purpose. The construction of the horror effect can not only be realized from the plot of the story itself, but also be constructed and deepened from the narrative structure of the story. In Ellen Poe’s work, elaborate arrangement and choice of narrative structure to construct the horror effect embodies Allan Poe’s superb narrative art. From the perspective of narrative analysis of his short story “leaked heart”, the form and function of the narrative structure to unify, explore how to construct the author’s preset horror effect through progressive and closed narrative structure, on the one hand can make up the past from the theme Insufficient analysis of perspectives also helps to better understand Alen Poe’s creative arts and themes.
