摘要

洪醒夫，出自彰化二林貧苦農家，家中世代務農，因為親身經歷光復後台灣從農業社會過渡到工業社會的變革，目睹農人的窮困、苦難與堅毅認命，所以涉筆關懷的都是鄉野農民及市井小人物的平凡悲喜故事。他的小說人物描寫技法純熟，本文意欲藉由原典素材之歸納整理，再用小說技法加以分析，來透顯其人物特色與含藏之深刻主題。洪醒夫擅從外在形貌動作、場景烘托和對比等手法具體描摹人物形象。另為精準捕捉人物神韻，他更仔細推敲人物語言、對話，大量採用鄉土稱呼，並巧妙融入方言、俚俗諺語，使之親切有味，藉以更深刻傳神地推演出知命論命、視土地為根本、堅毅的生命力、悲憫可貴的人性等主題。

Hong Xingfu is from a poverty-stricken peasant family located in the county of Erh-Lin, Zhang-hua, in Taiwan. His ancestors were farmers for many generations. Due to experiencing Taiwanese transit from an agricultural society to an industrial society and viewing farmers' poverty, suffering, perseverance, and acceptance of their fate, he mainly describes the daily life stories of farmers and the ordinary people with adroit skills. This paper intends to analyze his original materials by using novel techniques to demonstrate their characters' portraits and the profound themes. Hong Xing-fu is good at depicting characters from the image of the external appearance and their actions, the background of physical surroundings, and the technique of contrast. In addition, to accurately capture the spirit of the characters, he carefully considers the language, dialogue, and extensive use of Taiwanese local ways of addresses. Moreover, he skillfully integrates the Taiwanese dialect, slang, and vulgar proverbs, making his novels close to Taiwanese readers. In this way, he could vividly deduce the themes of Taiwanese attitudes toward their lives and fates, their respect to the lands, their determination and vitality, as well as their valuable compassion for other people.
