Abstract:
Severus Snape is a character in Harry Potter written by English writer J.K. Rowling. In the story, Harry Potter is the “everyman” hero, while Severus Snape, Potter’s Potions Professor, displays many traits of the traditional anti-hero and appears to be less attractive and agreeable. In the final book of the series Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, however, people find Snape has a complex personality of significant importance, which is worth analyzing. This thesis intends to analyze Snape in the light of Byronic heroism, and aims to reach the conclusion that he is more of a Byronic hero than a villain. Snape’s experience makes children understand that a person in his life journey is not immutable, and there can be multiple choices. Even if you made serious mistakes in the past, as long as you want to make correct, you still can be brave and heroic.
Keywords: Harry Potter;Severus Snape; Byronic Hero
摘要:
西弗勒斯斯内普是英国女作家J.K.罗琳(Joanne Kathleen Rowling)的小说《哈利波特》中的一个人物。 故事中的哈利波特是“平民英雄”,而他的魔药课教授西弗勒斯斯内普则体现了传统反派应有的特征,缺乏吸引力且惹人讨厌。但在小说的最后一部中人们发现斯内普其实是重要的人物,英语论文题目,性格矛盾,值得深讨。本文意在用拜伦式英雄的理论来略论斯内普,论证他不单纯是个反派,而是一个亦正亦邪的拜伦式英雄。斯内普的经历,让孩子明白一个人在生命历程中并不是一成不变的,而是可以有多重选择的,即使过去犯了严重的错误,英语论文题目,只要有心改正,依然可以成为真正的勇者和英雄。
