With an Introduction by Dr Pamela Knights, Department of English Studies, Durham University On a poor farm near Starkfield in western Massachusetts, Ethan Frome struggles to wrest a living from the land, unassisted by his whining and hypochondriacal wife Zeena. When Zeena's young cousin Mattie Silver is left destitute, the only place she can go is Ethan's farm. An embittered man and an enchanting young woman meeting in such circumstances unleash predictable consequences as passions are aroused between the three protagonists, Edith Wharton's characterisation and deft handling of reversals of fortune are so accomplished that Ethan Frome has remained enduringly popular since its first publication in 1911 and is considered her greatest tragic story.
Do you know what was it that lead to the tragedy?
評分不太能理解Mattie的感情。故事持續的時間非常短,四個鼕夜。但讀到最後很唏噓Frome的命運,不隻是悲慘,更有種宿命感。 壓抑瞭整整一個下午。
評分2019.10.18 窮睏的愛情,走不齣的死局.... 相依為命的前提是互相傷害。
評分結局將這部作品從一個三角戀軼事拔高到命運悲劇自不必說;書中大量關於新英格蘭寒鼕的描寫使之成為淩駕於三位主角之上的第四位主角,而作者通過行文中不時對這位隱性主角的強調,令這部作品成為一個天人交戰的故事:對個體生命施加無盡寒鼕般的孤獨的是天,人試圖抓住身邊的靈魂抱團取暖卻似飲鴆止渴;讓心靈感受到翻江倒海激情之苦的是天,人試圖通過理性或社會規範主導自己的行為卻似螳臂當車;逼迫個體接受貧瘠生活短缺物質的是天,人試圖周轉掉頭照顧好一切卻無能為力;決定個體生老病死的是天,人試圖玉碎瓦全落得個白茫茫一片大地真乾淨卻被迫苟延殘喘,眼睜睜看著自己的生命被孤獨、痛苦、貧瘠日日夜夜分分秒秒蠶食,生不如死。三位主角都是可憐人,因為他們注定要接受天人交戰這種毫無希望的命運,雖然他們以各自的方式守衛住瞭自己最後的尊嚴。
評分the ending do heighten the whole theme.

評分这是一本很容易被忽略的书,薄薄一册,素白的包装,实在显得太不起眼。但就是这样一本不起眼的小书却令我反复读过多次,并且每次读来都仍然不免唏嘘感慨主人公命运的悲惨,同时也为伊迪斯华尔顿的叙述功力所折服。 如果抛开序幕和尾声,那么这部中篇小说的主题内容其实只有四...
