短篇小說木馬贏家勞倫斯
1. 木馬贏家的研究現狀
從消費文化理論這一全新視角,對作品中保羅母子關系的異化作深入分析和探討。
她為兒子請家庭教師。不是出於對孩子的愛、而是出於虛榮心,孩子成為一種消費的符號,成為她滿足虛榮心的工具。這不能不說是母子關系異化的體現。他的母親一拿到錢立刻就去花掉,繼而產生更大慾望。簡直就是欲壑難填,因此保羅被嚇倒了、在恐懼無助中結束了幼小的生命。他深受消費主義的戕害,最終成為母親追求高消費的犧牲品。
勞倫斯小說中的母子關系或母女關系大部分都有俄狄浦斯傾向、俄狄浦斯情結即為戀母情結,有學者認為在《木馬贏家》中。保羅的所作所為也出於戀母情結。事實上、保羅對母親的這種愛。並不是嚴格意義上的戀母情結。在《木馬贏家》中、保羅並沒有主動排斥父親、也沒有過於依賴母親,他的所作所為僅出於一個年幼孩子對母愛的正常渴求、只是由於母親沒有給予孩子應有的愛,導致孩子主動討好母親的一種體現。
2. the rocking-horse winner的寓意是什麼
我正在寫這個的論文。。。
勞倫斯一貫認為:「小說是揭示我們生活關系變
化之虹的最佳手段。小說可以幫助我們生活,而其
他任何東西都無法做到。……小說可以使我們的同
情走上新的軌道,也可以使我們的同情從已經死亡
的東西上移離。然而,一切的問題在於探索通向重
現人、復活人之間的和諧和完全合乎要求的關系的
道路。」(蔣炳賢,1995:269)《木馬優勝者》的作用正
體現於此。雖然這個短篇為我們展現的是一幅20
世紀20年代英國社會的風俗畫卷,但直到今天,這
部作品對於我們仍具有強烈的現實意義。小說之所
以在讀者心中產生共鳴是因為我們當代人的生活觀
與女主人公的生活追求很相似。在科學發達的今
天,擺在我們每個人面前的誘惑太多,人生的慾望無
窮無盡,生理慾望,物質慾望,成功慾望等等。這個
慾望滿足了,新的慾望隨即而生。人們往往為了擁
有豪華的別墅、高檔的汽車、華麗的衣服和美味食品
而拚命賺錢;還有人為了職位的提升而絞盡腦汁,投
機鑽營。大家每天都在瘋狂地忙碌著,就像保羅拼
命地搖著木馬,而不知道我們的身體已經透支,危險
在即。當然,人們追求舒適的生活沒錯,但貪欲多了
就會使人迷失本性,釀成悲劇,生活的貪欲之罪,必
以生活的苦痛罰之。保羅用生命代價換來的教訓不
僅值得他媽媽反省,更值得我們反思。無疑,貪欲是
一切故事、矛盾、焦慮的本源,是使人心靈異化、喪失
愛心的根源。勞倫斯用他的文字,向後人敲響警鍾,
以引起人們對人類自身生存目的的思考。事實也證
明了《木馬優勝者》是一篇能超越時間和空間,具有
普遍意義的小說。

"The Rocking-Horse Winner" Lawrence, D. H.
English novelist, poet, and short story writer.
The following entry presents criticism of Lawrence's short story "The Rocking-Horse Winner," first published in 1926 in the anthology The Ghost Book, edited by Lady Cynthia Asquith. For an overview of Lawrence's short fiction, see SSC Volume 4.
INTRODUCTION
The account of a young boy's search for luck and love in an dispassionate world, "The Rocking-Horse Winner" is hailed by some critics as a technically perfect short story. Frequently anthologized and exhaustively analyzed, "The Rocking-Horse Winner" has scholars divided over interpretations—whether it is a social commentary on money and relationships in a capitalist society, a psychoanalytic exploration of sexuality and the Oedipus complex, or a simple fable of a boy searching for identity and love.
Plot and Major Characters
"The Rocking-Horse Winner" traces the actions of its young hero, Paul, who lives with his parents and two sisters in a fairly affluent neighborhood. As stated in the story, the family "lived in style," but a feeling persists in the household that there is never enough money. Soon the house is "haunted by an unspoken phrase: There must be more money!" Paul confronts his mother about the family's lack of wealth, and she responds by telling him that luck is what causes someone to have money and that his father is a very unlucky man. Paul reacts by telling her that he is lucky, and when she rejects this statement, it angers him. Seeking some way to attract luck, Paul begins to ride his wooden rocking-horse at a frenzied pace, his eyes glassed over as he whips at the toy. In this manner, he believes that he can arrive at the place "where there is luck." On repeated occasions, Paul rides the rocking-horse into such a delirium that his sisters are afraid to approach. Later, Uncle Oscar visits the house and discovers that Paul and the gardener, Bassett, have been wagering money on horse racing and that Paul has been able to predict winning horses after his trance-like rides on the rocking-horse. Paul confesses that he started gambling to become lucky and win money for his mother, thereby stopping the house from whispering. Uncle Oscar teams with Bassett and Paul, and they soon make a tidy profit from Paul's predictions.
For his mother's birthday, Paul anonymously gives her five thousand pounds. Instead of the money calming the whispers, however, the house begins to scream in an ecstatic voice: "There must be more money!—more than
"The Rocking-Horse Winner" Lawrence, D. H
ever! More than ever!" Paul's predictions soon become inaccurate, and as the time of the Derby grows near, he becomes increasingly agitated with the fact that he has not had any luck lately. He begins to ride the rocking-horse at a mad and frightening pace. After coming home from a party one night, the mother hears a "strange, heavy, and yet not loud noise" as she stands outside Paul's bedroom. She opens the door and turns on the light to discover Paul thrashing about on the rocking-horse. "It's Malabar!," he screams before crashing to the ground and lapsing into unconsciousness. Paul remains ill with "some brain-fever" for three days. Uncle Oscar and Bassett bet on Malabar in the Derby and make money for themselves and for Paul. At the story's conclusion, Paul briefly regains consciousness and explains to his mother that he is lucky. He dies later that night, and Uncle Oscar proclaims that "he's best gone out of a life where he rides a rocking-horse to find a winner."
Major Themes
In depicting a prosperous household that still hungers for money, "The Rocking-Horse Winner" resembles many of Lawrence's other fictional critiques of materialism and modern society. Paul's mother desires wealth and material possessions to the exclusion of more valuable items such as love and self-knowledge. Her desires are never satisfied, however, and they result in disastrous consequences when love and money are confused. A sexual subtext—another element found in many of Lawrence's works—also seems to be present in the story. Scholars have noted that the descriptions of Paul riding his rocking-horse have an erotic quality, and these scenes have been interpreted as representations of sex and masturbation. Since these quasi-sexual actions are focused on pleasing Paul's mother, and since Paul's father has proven incapable of satisfying his wife, many critics believe that the story draws on the concepts of psychologist Sigmund Freud. Freud maintained that young boys are sexually attracted to their mothers and fantasize about replacing their fathers—a condition he termed the Oedipus complex. Other analysts have placed less emphasis on the sexual aspects of the story and instead view Paul's actions as a tragic attempt to win parental love from his hard-hearted mother.
Critical Reception
Many of Lawrence's works are controversial, and "The Rocking-Horse Winner" is no exception. The story has generated a large amount of scholarly debate and has been compared to a wide range of other works, including classic myths, parables, and the writings of Charles Dickens, among many others. In his 1958 essay on "The Rocking-Horse Winner," W. D. Snodgrass presented an interpretation that has become the jumping-off point for many of the later analyses of the story. Snodgrass's essay considers the socio-economic, religious, and, especially, the sexual aspects of the story, focusing on Lawrence's use of symbols. Other critics have further highlighted the Freudian aspects of the work and have interpreted it in regard to economic theories and spiritual allusions. "The Rocking-Horse Winner" has been criticized for its didactic qualities, but other critics have noted its restraint in presenting Lawrence's opinions, at least in comparison with many of the author's other writings. Though the story continues to stimulate debate, analysts are largely agreed that the plot, description, dialogue, and symbolism of the story are presented with great skill. "The Rocking-Horse Winner' approaches technical perfection," according to Caroline Gordon and Allen Tate. "An artistic intelligence functions in it, consciously or unconsciously, giving the story a powerful dramatic impact."

5. 英國的短篇小說,有哪些值得推薦
個人推薦下英國著名小說家狄更斯的《信號員》吧,也是英國十大名著之一吧。這個小說讀完特別讓人深思,主要是講小鎮一個信號員總能預測災難的東西成為現實。他成了唯一一個災難的預測者。知道最後一次預測他也成為犧牲者。也表現了作者對底層人民悲慘命運不能改變的悲憫。看完之後我覺得引用波波的話吧:人生中%99的時間可能都是不幸的但是我們要善於發現其中%1的萬幸,好好珍惜現在的每一天吧。

(6)短篇小說木馬贏家勞倫斯擴展閱讀
《木馬贏家》是勞倫斯較為著名的短篇小說之一,於他的晚年創作而成,在他去世後的1933年才發表。在《木馬贏家》中,對金錢的追求扭曲了人世間最珍貴的母子親情,母親無法去愛兒子,而兒子為了得到母愛,竟只能用錢去買。
母親因而不再是愛的源泉,而成了造成兒子悲劇的根源。從這一點來看,這篇故事也反映了母親對兒子的負面影響,與《兒子與情人》似有相通之處。
7. 木馬贏家1主要講了什麼
摘要 你好,勞倫斯的短篇小說《木馬贏家》以童話的形式講述了男孩保羅為了獲得母愛,也為了使家中那個惱人的聲音「一定要有更多的錢!一定要有更多的錢!」消失,他騎上木馬,讓木馬帶他到一個「幸運」的地方去,因為母親曾告訴他幸運就是金錢。他發現自己騎木馬到瘋狂狀態時,就能准確預測贏得下一場比賽的賽馬的名字,為此,他贏了很多錢,可是母親對金錢的慾望猶如難以填平的溝壑。後來他做了最後一次預測之後從木馬上摔下來,不久離開人世。勞倫斯透過這樣的故事,揭露英國現代工業文明使人與人之間的關系變得異化、扭曲,母子關系疏離,家中缺少溫暖和關懷。選篇中搖動的木馬既是保羅為母親賺錢的工具,又喻指保羅的靈感、妙計,當然也導致了保羅的悲劇
