塞缪尔·理查逊的第一部书信体小说《帕梅拉》主要是由女主人公写给她父母的信件所构成的。这些信记录了发生在她周围的所有事情。实际上,读这些信的并不是她的父母,而是她的主人——B先生。本文旨在探索帕梅拉手中的“魔棒”——写作的作用。小说中,女主人公所写的书信与日记既是表达自我的媒介,又是一个避难所,一种身体的代替品,而且还具有使有邪念之人改邪归正的强大力量。这种力量不仅颠覆了传统,也使她成为了完美的道德榜样。 Samuel Richardson’s first epistolary novel, Pamela, consisted primarily of letters written by her heroine to her parents. The letters recorded everything that happened around her. In fact, it was not her parents who read these letters, but her master, Mr. B. This article aims to explore the role of Pomera’s “magic wand” -writing. In the novel, the letters and diaries written by the heroines are both a medium of self-expression, a refuge, a substitute for the body, and a powerful force for retribution of evil people. This power not only subverts tradition but also makes her a perfect moral example.
