"She had been a big woman once but now her skeleton rose, draped loosely in unpadded skin that tightened again a paunch almost dropsically, as though muscle and tissue had been courage or fortitude which the days or the ears had consumed until only the indomitable skeleton was left rising like a ruin or a landmark above the somnolent and impervious guts, and above that the collapsed face that gave he impression of the bones themselves being outside the flesh, lifted into the driving day with an expression at once fatalistic and of a child"s astonished disappointment, until she turned and entered the house again and closed the door."
Faulkner"s description of Dilsey. List the features of Faulkner"s style present in this description.
【正确答案】正确答案：Faulkner is known for an experimental style with meticulous attention to diction and cadence. In contrast to the minimalist understatement of his contemporary Ernest Hemingway, Faulkner made frequent use of "stream of consciousness" in his writing, and wrote often highly emotional, subtle, cerebral, complex, and sometimes Gothic or grotesque stories of a wide variety of characters. The lengthy and hypnotic paragraph depicting Dilsey is a case in point. Marked by long and embedded sentences, complex syntax and vague reference pronouns, it is hard to read. And words like "courage", "fortitude" and "indomitable" that are often used to describe personalities are used to describe Dilsey"s appearance, which makes readers not easy to accept his words.
