摘要： 佩内洛普•菲茨杰拉德的小说《纯真》通过层层递进的不可靠叙述，辩证地揭示了“纯真”这一美德的负面——纯真之昧，以及由此导致的善以恶行。小说中事件的严肃可怕和叙述的轻描淡写之间产生了极大的张力，增强了审美效果，带给读者始料未及的阅读体验。这不仅体现了佩内洛普•菲茨杰拉德的叙事技巧，也体现了她独到的洞察力和对人性本善/恶命题的哲学思考。本文以《纯真》文本的细读为基础，从叙事“构筑性”出发，结合“不可靠叙述”理论，分析《纯真》开篇层层递进的不可靠叙述，揭示纯真之昧，以及由此造成的对他人巨大的伤害。

Abstract: Penelope Fitzgerald’s novel, Innocence, dialectically reveals the negative side of the virtue “innocence” by means of unreliable narration. It is this blindness of innocence that contributes to cruel kindness. The tension between the seriousness and horror of the incidents and the light matter-of-fact style of the narration enhances the aesthetic effect, which also brings to the reader the novelty of reading experience.The technique of Penelope Fitzgerald’s narrative, her insight into life and her philosophical thinking of “Man is born good/evil” are well manifested during the process. Based on close reading and starting from the constructivity of narrative, this essay analyzes the progressive unreliable narration in the first chapter of Innocence, disclosing, accordingly, the blindness of innocence and its destructive power.

Keywords: Innocence; unreliable narration; the blindness of innocence; cruel kindness
