Multiple Explanations Of Don Quixote Image

In the Western history of literature, Cervantes's representative works "Don Quixote" is epoch-making significance novel. It not only enlightens the creation inspiration of writers, but also set up a significance vast literary figure—Don Quixote. Just like Professor Liu Jianjun says:"In the entire world history of literature, the Don Quixote image which Cervantes molds, may say that is one of most complex typical characters. In more than four century long years, because people′material is different, holds the standpoint and the viewpoint vary, we has wide divided opinions to this image."It can be said that 1000 readers have 1000 Hamlets to be the same, 1000 readers also have 1000 Don Quixotes.In our travel of explanation, we first focus on the social history linguistic environment of the Don Quixote image construction. In 1605, Cervantes published "Don Quixote", this image from the author's point of view was the opposite of knight literature. But in readers'viewpoint, Don Quixote is"the populace actor".He is the lunatic and fool, has become the humanity the product of"the rational time"which is defeated in certain aspects. While the readers accepts this"the populace actor", the literature critics actually to a certain extent repels Don Quixote, thought that Cervantes's satire is excessively. Not only has destroyed the Spanish knight novel, but also continually the knight tradition and the martial spirit also eliminated. Daniel Defoe affirmed firstly Don Quixote artistic value.He thought that this image attack at that time Spain upper classes. After that Don Quixote's pure crazy image obtains further change.British poet Pope, renowned writer of fiction Feilding thought Don Quixote from the new moral values angle, although is laughable. But he supports justice, generous and selfless, is rich in the moral excellence bravely, pitiful, is worth respecting, in being possible be called humanities person morals model, spiritual ideal incarnation. 18 to the 19th century's Europe, the Enlightenment influence expanded unceasingly, and the Romantic movement emerged vigorously in the European scope, the time has given Don Quixote new explanation linguistic environment: On one hand, Saint Bofve, Oberly Bell, explains Don Quixote from the religious improvement's angle, thought that he has the lofty religious spirit knight;. On the other hand, Heine thought, from the positive romanticism viewpoint, Don Quixote stands in the liberalism standpoint to oppose Spain, and even entire Europe feudalism. On his body is reposing revolutionary's ideal desire. Then, from the mid-19th century to the 20th century's realistic persons' eyes, Don Quixote has become an honest self-confident knight, has the rich human nature connotation character. Iin the numerous commentators most influential is Turgenef's. He thought Don Quixote was people's hero, Turgenef's explanation at that time had the progressive significance.Next, we pay attention to readers explanation. The social history linguistic environment stresses to Don Quixote's explanation in the social meaning which has to the image carries on explains, but the readers stress from the text, and reconstruct consciously to the image. Don Quixote becomes fusion product of the author and the reader, therefore obtained reader's approval. In addition, we discovered that Don Quixote himself is also a reader, we are explaining him, he is also explaining himself, to transform his life. The reader theory caused the explanation even more tends. But, many explanations, have not caused Don Quixote to lose the relatively fixed explicit implication. Along with mass media's vigorous development, the knowledge also urges the understanding. Professor Meng Qingshu pointed out: The new media has created new reading and accepting relations. "Don Quixote" becames redundant prints one of most works. Along with the broadcast, the telephone, the movie, the television and the network medium emerged one after another incessantly, Don Quixote went out the print limitation, is portrayed all kinds of image by the modern media, but the people conceived to Don Quixote's understanding with author's primary already had the huge difference early. Japanese scholar believed that Don Quixote's sincere feeling oneself by the media crisis, the self-image impossible by own to have already been decided that oneself belong to infinite him. In China, the Don Quixote image has also experienced the process which a time multiple evolves. The different translated edition, the different historical period has the different influence to the image explanation. Don Quixote's Chinese divides into three stages approximately, the pre-liberation, the founding of the nation late arrival Great Cultural Revolution ends as well as the reform and open policy until now. The last century the 20s-30s, many Chinese scholars once attempted the translation "Don Quixote", but nearly from English, the French, Russian and the German translation, the Fu Donghua's British translated edition influence is biggest. The translation hinders to cause to be quite chaotic to the Don Quixote image understanding. After the founding of the nation, although the translation condition has the change for the better, but as a result of political activity's influence, appears relatively sole to Don Quixote's understanding. After reform and open policy, the Yang Jiang Spanish translated edition obtains the high praise, the relatively loose academic atmosphere also enabled China to have the enormous development to Don Quixote's multiple explanations.Finally, after Don Quixote's vivid significance moves toward, modern culture domain. The post-modern culture is many kinds of ideology , contains rebelling against the extant order, the subversion mainstream culture, the transformation social reality in-depth motive. Cultural ideological trend which rebels against as one kind, post-colonialism, the Feminism criticism's explanation method arouses our interest. Embarks after colonialism's angle of view, Don Quixote has become colonialist's incarnation, in his ideal, exists intensely colonizes the desire outward, the so-called world Utopia also merely is Europe's Utopia, the golden age is also the Spanish vanquisher's golden age. All which is praised before by, a generation of commentator, has become nakedly"the oriental studies"under the colonialism field of vision the expression. In addition, colonize with the race is pair of twin children, in Don Quixote's journey will often present many enemies, particularly Mole, they wrapped in a shroud of obscurity, will be exceptionally sly, the Arabic nationality will also be"the nationality which will lie becomes second nature", the alien race must certainly eliminate. Therefore, Don Quixote is repels extremely to other nationalities, his so-called knight said that is actually genocide principle another kind of indication. The Feminism displays to Don Quixote's restructuring in promulgates in its intrinsic binary feature: At the same time, Don Quixote boasts of being the protection small and weak feminine knight, vertically and horizontally world, invincible, this kind of narration has the bright masculine center to mean, is the male power words model expression. But so-called receives the protection the female, is regarded in fact the pet, receives the oppression and the maltreatment. Obviously, Don Quixote is stands in the feminine free opposite, is the masculine person's image. On the other hand, Don Quixote's good variant upholds justice is ridiculed unceasingly by the human, he receives the discrimination and the persecution all the time, his oneself is also suffering with the feminine same unfair treatment. Therefore, Don Quixote is a male power violence victim. Narrates study the stress from to explain Don Quixote to the image narration way, collected on his body has instead satirized, the revelry and the play imitates and so on many kinds of artistic techniques, the critics thought generally that was substantial evidences of "Don Quixote" contained the post-modernity.Don Quixote is a text. We are unable to complete definition. We can only construct his significance in the narration process, this kind of narration has contained essential factors and so on linguistic environment, text, reader and culture, Don Quixote lives in this significance field. From the very beginning, the people carry on the explanation to the Don Quixote image to present the corresponding social effect by the time; After the reader accepts the theory appears, the people initiative restructure the Don Quixote image; To 20 century 80-90', the literary criticism moves toward the cultural big field of vision, the post-colonialism criticism, the feminine principle and narrates study involvement, Don Quixote as if more and more clear in front of us. But, we will explain more are clear, we will discover that we realized the limitation. The significance is endlessly, this is also one of reasons precisely we like him.
