余華《兄弟》反諷藝術研究

A Study on Irony in Yu-Hua 'Brothers'

余華（1961~）在《兄弟》中大量使用反諷的手法來揭弊，引來正反兩極的評價。本文以小說修辭學的角度切入，立意不在評斷這兩造是非，只是無可否認，余華使用的反諷手法既多元又意義豐富，不但諷刺了人的無知、貪婪與自私，還揭開了文革荒謬的本質，抨擊了資本主義與城市文明的毒害，因此，筆者以為余華使用反諷的手法是成功的。

Yu-Hua (1961 - ), in his novel “Brothers” , uses a lot of ironies to describe the plots of improper behaviors. Despite the dispute between critics – some critics think it’s good, but some don't; this article is based on the rhetoric point of view .The view point from the critics is not what I will discuss. In my opinion, Yu-Hua’s ironic skill in the novel is various and meaningful. He uses irony to satirize the ignorance, greed and selfishness of human beings, At the same time, it reveals the absurdity of Cultural Revolution, capitalism and civilization. Therefore, personally I think Yu-Hua’s ironic skill is successful.
