●1、20年的巨变，不管是周遭环境，人物际遇，人情冷暖，还是政治变迁，都仿佛断了一截。2、通篇有在讲主人公怕老婆，也有他妻子的反面形象刻画，最后也不得善终，而且在文末也说到女人当权的终结（petticoat government: happily that was at an end），而男人就理所当然应该闲散不理家事，尽管在外对人殷勤。大男子主义的刻画。3、政治纷杂，作者支持主人公这样不理政事，过好自己的快乐生活的选择（no politician; made but little impression on him）。4、民主。
●随便一看，没有资格打分。
●怀旧空吟闻笛赋，到乡翻似烂柯人。不过，咖啡馆、小客栈、高谈阔论共和还是民主的人idled，代代大抵如此。悍妇妻子象征英国对早一代殖民者的压榨，村子是殖民者在新大陆的自由快乐生活，Rip回到一个独立后的美国，他震惊、迷茫、疑惑自己的Identity，最后他坐在年轻人里，对冉冉升起的国家满怀希望——局外人一般的Irving爱这样的美国啊。
《Rip Van Winkle》读后感(一)：a fond dream
这故事与我国「黄梁梦」"Yellow Millet Dream"【元代马致远所撰，系取自枕中记的故事。】内容虽异，但意境相似。
与烂柯山也类似，只不过主人公没醉，相传围棋之根则在烂柯山。据北魏 郦道元所著《水经注》中云：晋时有一叫王质的樵夫到石室山砍柴，见二童子下围棋，便坐于一旁观看。一局未终，童子对他说，你的斧柄烂了。王质回到村里才知已过了数十年。因此后人便把石室山称为烂柯山，并把烂柯作为围棋的别称。
意义：这种感叹人世虚幻，富贵荣华之短促者，现在我们也就称为「黄梁一梦」或「黄梁美梦」。(a fond dream; a dream lasting no longer than it takes to have a millet meal cooked).
最近在写关于rip 的论文，每次看到，都觉得rip 的可爱，还有她妻子的可怜。 哎。矛盾的心情。
《Rip Van Winkle》读后感(二)：关于《瑞普·凡·温克尔》好玩的事儿
美国文学课上要求读的Rip Van Winkle。
老师的引导方向是：
从现代女权主义观谈论作者华盛顿欧文对女性的歧视--因为主人公里普被塑造成悍妇管教下的妻管严；
以及欧文对美国独立战争（资产阶级革命）的保守观点--因为里普一睡就是二十年，错过的正是这个革命。
不过由于我不是很女权，对政治也不感冒，所以这两个切入点我有点头痛。
倒是其他杂七杂八的发现，让我觉得有趣。
1.
首先是荷兰风情。
里普是荷兰后裔。
他在山中遇到的怪老头们都作老式的荷兰风格打扮，里普本人也由此联想到荷兰风情画（Flemish Painting），可惜我对荷兰名画没啥研究，只见过几幅伦布兰特（Rembrandt）的作品而已。
最妙的是，怪老头抗的酒桶里的，后来里普偷喝而酩酊大醉的酒，也是荷兰风味的---
这本来是件符合逻辑的事，无甚特别。不过欧文布置好这个小细节，不由得让我好奇“荷兰风情”是不是可以挖掘出更多的内涵。
然后我才回想到，故事的设置就是在荷兰殖民地时期的纽约州东部哈德逊河这带。
而荷兰殖民地是1621年荷兰移民在纽约州建立的。貌似作者欧文的家乡也在哈德逊河附近。（不是很清楚。）
欧文笔下的大自然以及乡村生活，都有荷兰风情画的感觉。
2.
然后是后代所用关于Rip Van Winkle的典故。
维基里面列举很多。后来的电影，美剧剧集，甚至情景剧都有引用。
然后很值得注意的是，Rip Van Winkle现在的常用衍生义，“时代落伍者”，还有就是“嗜睡的人”啦。关于“时代落伍者”，不仅文化界不懂迎合大众潮流的音乐家可以被冠称，政治上不关心时事的人也可以这么说。所用很广的。
（---于是这让我很害羞。从这点讲我也很Rip嘛。我也要开始多看报了！！）
3.
再来就是这个故事在其他文化里的共通处。
本身rip的故事是Rip从德国民间故事改编来的。对于我们很容易联想到设置在中国南朝的“烂柯人”。不过古犹太人，苏格兰，爱尔兰也有这样主人公常睡多年的民间传说。古希腊的第欧根尼也记载过类似的故事呢！
不过我觉得最妙的是古希腊另一个版本，维基里这样说的：
“A similar story is told of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, Christian saints who fall asleep in a cave while avoiding Roman persecution, and awake more than a century later to find that Christianity has become the religion of the Empire.”因为睡着的人是受到天主教迫害的基督徒，醒来正是基督教的天下。相比其他版本，我觉得它的宗教含义跟Rip Van Winkle的政治喻义一样，都值得玩味。
（我的思维刚好又多跳跃了一点，我在想，受到宗教迫害的人，生命的意义有没有重要到可以改变宗教信仰顺从当权者？我是好奇求生本能和精神信仰冲突的时候，能激发多大的道德火花。）
这些不同文化里的“沉睡者”故事，跟抄袭显然无关，应该是文化刚好“不约而同”了吧。从此也可见不同文化的共性之多，以及人类想象力的局限性。
不管怎么说，“沉睡”这件事，不管对我们的祖先，还是对今人，都是一件很有吸引力的事吧！这是一种浪漫主义的逃避，来自于与生俱来的恐惧本能。
4.
由此说到最后一点。
也就是欧文自己的倾向。政治方面的不说。只是风格上面的。
这个奇异的故事，拍成电影一定是属于“奇幻片”片型，可见浪漫主义是很明显的。
然而，故事里里普遇到的怪老头们，并没有被欧文处理成仙境中悠然的隐士形象；倒更像是肃穆阴沉的鬼魂，有点可怖气息。
刚开始这一点让我大惑不解，觉得怪老头们设置成“快乐饮酒的仙人”不会更美好吧？
而这正是本书除“浪漫主义”之外，悄悄折射出的“清教主义”残存。这两者之间的矛盾，则调和成了“逃避主义”，这三种思想，对美国文学都很重要。
我最感兴趣的是“逃避主义”。
不管是海明威笔下的“迷惘的一代”（lost generation），还是杰克.凯鲁亚克（Jack Kerouac）代表的“垮掉的一代”（the beat generation），无不带着浓厚的逃避主义。正是欧文所处的这个过渡时代产生的这种思想的延续啊！欧文前边是“清教主义”，而他处在“浪漫主义”的开端。
《Rip Van Winkle》读后感(三)：Individual and Society
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. The following is my reflection on the comparison of individual and society from this story.
Rip, as an independent individual, leaves an impression of escapist on us throughout the story. He tries to evade obligations for his household when some family duties need to be done and his farm need to be kept in order. He always runs away from his wife when his termagant wife criticize him repeatedly because of his idleness and his carelessness. He even avoids the Revolutionary War when he accidentally drops into a deep sleep for twenty years in the mountain (This for Rip only spends one night.).
Firstly, aggressive manner of his wife is to Rip what an tyranny of England is to the North American colony at that moment. Before Rip falls into a deep sleep, namely the Revolution War doesn’t break out, America society is still subject to England. However his wife is profoundly dissatisfied with Rip’s laziness and constantly reminds him of his responsibilities for the family. It also implies that England under those social circumstances is discontented with expression of colonial people and doing its utmost to ensure absolute domination by taking more and more high-handed policies. Naturally, when one superpower attempts to rule him, the only way he has is to escape!
econdly, from this story we can know that Rip is not only one, he is just a respective of thousands of individuals. In the book, Rip often frequents a kind of perpetual club of the sages, philosophers and other idle personages of the village, who talks listlessly over village gossip, or tells ending sleepy stories about nothing. Predictably, before the Revolution War, American people usually have blind minds on account of England’s spiritual governing. On the contrary, compared with his wife, Rip is treated friendly by villagers. Meantimes, different attitudes between them strongly indicate the increasing rebellion to the crown of England and higher prestige which America is building among citizens. Therefore, the appearance of Rip’s image is not occasional or exceptional, but necessary and gradual.
At the end of the story, it says that is a common wish of all henpecked husbands in the neighborhood, when life hangs heavy on their hands, that they might have a quieting draught out of Rip Van Winkle’s flagon. This shows that people who has evasive ideas is more than one. They feel like escaping as well when they are unhappy with their life or society.
What’s more, in accordance with that views of Freud, a psychoanalysis psychologist, the essence of dream is a sort of subdued, suppressed by the desire, disguised satisfaction. In other words, because people's desire in reality is not satisfied, then take a circuitous manner in a dream. Accordingly, such sharp conflicts for Rip between reality and ideal can set him free or unchained by dream. Resulting from his dream with score years lasted, he doesn’t need to endure endless chatter and scolding from his wife, and even forever. Coincidentally, he also keeps away from the cruel and brutal war of independence. He doesn’t be worry about dying in battle and directly leaps from the past old society to a new stable society with no war. These are not merely fortuitous. As a matter of fact, Rip in the beginning of book is considered as a simple, good-natured fellow. He is a descendant of the Van Winkles who figures so gallantly in the chivalrous days of Peter Stuyvesant, and accompanies him to the siege of Fort Christina. He inherits, however, but little of the martial character of his ancestors. Thus, this dream is unavoidable and necessary.
In addition, from my point of view, a little village that the book describes is a small society. This society is quite closed space. It can’t evoke people’s thoughts. Whereas, when a small society expend to a large society, it can make a difference. In fact, there is a hard war of independence happening in this large society. It make America break away from England’s governance and establish an independent democratic country. This changes for Rip who sleeps deeply about twenty years are very strange. Strange names, strange faces and strange buildings, which all confuses him extremely. In this case, everything familiarized with in the past no longer exists. Faced with new environment, he fits it before long. Nontheless, this have no measurable impact on him as we all expects to.
Last but not the least, Rip Van Winkle, as one of those happy mortals, of foolish, well-oiled dispositions, takes the world easy, eat white bread or brown, whichever can be got with least thought or trouble. And he would rather starve on a penny than work for a pound. This is more a classical philosophy of idler than a kind of value orientation or life attitude. Rip is a liberalist, the more oppression he suffers from, the more resistance he is eager to put up. He is in pursuit of freedom, and unwilling to be constrained and abused by others. For the sake of liberty, even though conditions of material life are singularly poor, his spirit is abundant, pleasurable and free.
A single individual sometimes is unable to have extraordinary and obvious influences on the entire community. But when that single individual becomes one of many, the entire society will have to envisage. The author uses ironic style to represent individuals’ helplessness and perplexity under the background of the whole big society. When individual is incapable of reaching a reconciliation with the social world or reality he lives in, he will start to question himself and doubt this society, just like Rip in the book. He doubts his own identity, and whether he is himself or another man.
To sum up, everyone is an independent figure. Consequently, different people have different ideas. Escaping may be a good way for some individuals to keep away from troubles. We should respect these ideas because existence in possible. At the same time, we can try to brench its imprisonment which is “the Truman show” our society build for us.
