Adopting linear contrast strategy to research three different versions of the long novel Wild Flames and Spring Wind against the Ancient City,this thesis makes a comparison between the version of 1958 and that of 1961,and then between the version of 1961 and that of 1977.With studying every single detail of the texts,changes and transformations of these three versions are sorted out in detail.This thesis mainly develops from observing images of characters and comparing these changes of the three versions.Selecting heroic images,negative images and mass images and researching re-narrations of main events,this thesis examines the intention of changing these three images and the main direction of rhetoric reconstruction.Meanwhile,the regular pattern of edition changing and the appeal of edition modification are also explored. |
