AI 摘要

An in-depth analysis of Nabokov's "Invitation to Beheading" as a "book of freedom" that explores free will and individual independence. Novels provide the possibility of multidimensional interpretation through open texts, vague historical backgrounds, dramatic characters, and non real spatial scenes. The "opaque" nature and beheading fate of the protagonist Cincinnatus, as well as the dystopian color in the work, reflect the author's exploration of the unfree state of human consciousness from a philosophical perspective, transcending the limitations of time, space, and political culture. At the same time, it pointed out the shortcomings of existing research on the topic of freedom, providing research space for this article.

Opaque genes and poetic wisdom

The relationship between opaque genes and poetic wisdom is explored through the protagonist of the novel "The Invitation to Beheading," Cincinnatus. The novel portrays the protagonist's unique personality and longing for freedom through his nineteen days of waiting for the death penalty in prison. The protagonist's parents are depicted as characters with opaque genes, which are inherited by Sinatra and give him poetic wisdom and creativity.

Desire Liberation in the State of Schizophrenia

By analyzing the character images of Cincinnatus in the novel, this paper explores the liberation of desires and the realization of poetic freedom in the state of "schizophrenia". Cincinnatus has a gentle and timid personality, appearing innocent and fragile on the outside, but shows weakness and passivity when his wife cheats. Nabokov highlights his passive personality through syntactic use, while secondary characters have flat images and strange behaviors, which are regarded as "dolls" by Sinatra. These "doll like" characters symbolize society's taming, control, and suppression of individuals, pursuing homogenization of thinking.

Physical resistance under tuber thinking

In depth exploration of Nabokov and Deleuze's views on relativity, openness, and fluidity of reality, emphasizing the importance of tuber thinking in depicting the real world. Nabokov believed that truth is subjective, and the gradual accumulation and specialization of information corresponds to Deleuze's viewpoint. The narrative strategy under tuber thinking highlights the differences, diversity, fluidity, and variability of existence.
