在《羽蛇》中,D.H.劳伦斯大量使用了来自于阿兹台克文明的神话质料,将古代阿兹台克人所信奉的羽蛇神“魁扎尔科亚特尔”塑造为如“虹”一般象征了天地的融洽调顺,充满了印第安文化的异域色彩。然而,来自于犹太文明的喀巴拉神秘主义却主导了小说的隐性叙事进程,显文本中的神话修辞与潜文本中的神秘主义相互交织,共同编织了一个有着超凡魔力的隐喻。 In “The Plumage,” DH Lawrence makes extensive use of the mythological material from the Aztec civilization and portrays the Quetzalcoatl, a symbol of the ancient Aztecs, as “Rainbow ” generally symbolizes the harmonious world, filled with the exotic color of Indian culture. However, the Kabbalah mysticism from Jewish civilization dominates the implicit narrative process of the novel. The mythological rhetoric in the explicit text and the mysticism in the latent text are woven together to weave a metaphor of extraordinary magic.
