摘　　要：美国作家弗兰纳里·奥康纳的小说《好人难寻》描述了两位主人公“格格不入”和柏利在畸形家庭关系中衍生的身份认同危机与救赎困境。本文通过细察柏利与“格格不入”互为对照的二重身关系,分析现代个体身份认同的缺失。奥康纳用二重身“格格不入”投射原身柏利,又通过“格格不入”描摹柏利与母亲之间的矛盾关系,同时借由原身柏利呈现“格格不入”的身份困惑以及由此导致的暴力行为和反社会后果。二重身中分裂的自我是身份危机的隐喻,奥康纳对两位人物身份认同问题的刻画反映出现代语境中个体的信仰危机与生存困境,以及对精神救赎的追寻与探索。American writer Flannery O'Connor's short story A Good Man Is Hard to Find describes the identity crisis and redemption dilemma of the two protagonists,“the Misfits”and Bailey,which on a big part owes to the abnormal family relations of the two characters respectively.This paper tries to touch upon the doppelganger phenomenon with Bailey and his double“Misfit”as mutually reflecting mirror images.As Bailey's double,“the Misfit”enfleshes the contradictory relationship between the former and his mother;similarly,Bailey is depicted as the projection of identity confusion and the resulting violence and anti-social consequences of“Misfit”.The divided self in the doppelganger is a metaphor of identity crisis.O’Connor's portrayal of the lost identity of the two characters reflects the individual's belief crisis and existential dilemma in modern milieu and mirrors their pursuit and exploration of spiritual redemption.
