《一个小时的故事》是美国女权作家凯特·肖邦著名的短篇小说。作者通过客厅——房间——客厅的空间转换与叙事视角的转变推动了情节的发展。而作者对空间转换的设置与对窗外世界的描写同时也蕴含着深刻的隐喻,从中我们可以窥见马兰德夫人作为一名女性的自我发现历程。 “One Hour Story” is a famous short story by American women writer Kate Chopin. The author contributed to the development of the plot through the transformation of the living room - room - living room space and narrative perspective. And the author’s metaphor for the setting of space conversion and the description of the world outside the window implies that we can get a glimpse of Madame Malande’s self-discovery process as a woman.
