Unlike some classic European novels, American literature encompasses many different, even unique, styles and genres. One of the most interesting of these is the Southern Gothic subgenre. As its name implies, Southern Gothic literature is reflective of life in the American South. Southern Gothic maintains some of the characteristics of Gothic writing, such as plot development of the supernatural or the ironic. However, Southern Gothic does not focus on creating tension and suspense like other Gothic genres. Instead, Southern Gothic story lines examine Southern society and its underlying, often implicit, social structure.
Southern Gothic writers generally spurn the stereotype of the gentleman on the plantation and the glamorous Southern belle. Instead, the authors develop characters that are sinister or reclusive and not particularly pleasant on the surface. However, these characters usually have redeeming qualities that allow and encourage the reader to empathize with their situations or dilemmas. It is through these immoral and unhappy personalities that the Southern Gothic writer is able to present and explore moral issues of the American South, such as slavery and bigotry, without blatant accusations. [br] Based on the attitudes displayed in the passage, with which of the following statements would the author most likely agree?
选项
A、Southern Gothic writers enjoy employing the character stereotypes of Southern plantation life.
B、American literature sometimes diverges sharply from its European antecedents.
C、Southern society is organized on clear moral guidelines of right and wrong.
答案
B
解析
The best answer is B. According to the passage, American literature encompasses unique styles and genres. This implies divergence from the earlier, mostly European, genres upon which the American forms are based.
