D·H·劳伦斯在他的短篇小说《菊香》中大量运用意象和象征手法,其中菊花这一形象在小说中不断出现,起到了重要的作用。然而大多数的评论家和学者对菊花所做的解读局限在抽象层面,并不能完美地解释小说中的一些片段。所以笔者决定另辟蹊径,运用文本细读的方法对小说中前四处菊花出现的场景进行解读,以论证菊花不仅仅具有抽象层面的意义,更是在小说中作为女主人公丈夫的化身而出现。 DH Lawrence makes extensive use of the images and symbolism in his short story “Chrysanthemum”, in which the image of chrysanthemum appears constantly in the novel and plays an important role. However, most critics and scholars interpret the chrysanthemum confined to the abstract level, and can not perfectly explain some of the fragments of the novel. Therefore, the author decided to find another way to use the method of textual reading to interpret the scene of the first four chrysanthemums in the novel to prove that chrysanthemum not only has the significance of the abstract level, but also emerges as an avatar of the heroine’s husband in the novel.
