Abstract
In short stories like Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s “A Village Singer,” Kate Chopin’s “Desiree’s Baby,” and Sarah Orne Jewett’s “A White Heron,” local guests are presented as peace-crashers, intruders, and individuals who play a negative, and even at times, a destructive role in the lives of the female protagonists of the stories. This paper will examine the role such guests play in the above-mentioned stories of local-color writings. Moreover, the paper will bring into light the strategies that the female protagonists use in order to deal with the intrusion of these guests. Respectively, the strategies are rebellion, departure, and affiliating with nature.
Keywords: Persona Non Grata; Intruders; Rebellion; Departure; Nature.
在玛丽·e·威尔金斯·弗里曼(Mary E. Wilkins Freeman)的《乡村歌手》(A Village Singer)、凯特·肖邦(Kate Chopin)的《德西蕾的孩子》(Desiree 's Baby)和莎拉·欧恩·朱伊特(Sarah Orne Jewett)的《一只白鸽》(A White Heron)等短篇小说中，当地客人被描绘成和平破坏者、入侵者，以及在故事中女主角的生活中扮演消极甚至有时是破坏性角色的个人。本文将考察这些客人在上述地方色彩写作故事中所扮演的角色。此外，本文还将揭示女主人公在处理这些客人的入侵时所使用的策略。这三种策略分别是叛逆、背离和亲近自然。关键词:不受欢迎的人;入侵者;叛乱;离开;大自然。
