中文摘要:《追风筝的人》这部小说是美籍阿富汗作家卡勒德·胡塞尼的第一部英文作品。他描写了一个阿富汗男孩成长的故事,包括了对朋友的背叛,与父亲关系的变化,以及生活环境的改变等。近年来,众多学者对风筝的寓意以及对文中父子关系的进行了探讨。本论文通过描述阿米尔的心路历程,分析主人公的心理成长,体现阿米尔的自我救赎。论文将阿米尔自我救赎的心路历程分为三个重要阶段,分别为最初的压抑与扭曲,一步步善良的觉醒到最终下决心自我救赎。阿米尔对自己过去的行为进行了深刻的反省,并在后来的日子中对错误进行了弥补和救赎,也正是他心灵得到拯救,自我得到成长的体现。小说通过描写阿米尔的救赎告诫人们要敢于面对人生中的过错,用正确的方式处理过错带来的伤害,以免受到心灵上长久的折磨与痛苦。小说中阿米尔的自我救赎的过程正是体现了他对亲情,友情,正义和善良等人性中的美好的追寻。
