Abstract: Margaret Atwood is an internationally renowned woman writer from Canada. One of the characteristics of her works lies in the dismantling and reconstruction of classical texts and the renovation of the story structure of the source texts. She has made admirable achievements in the classical reconstruction. Each of her works, whether long or short, is actually very depressing. “The Sin Eater” is a story based on death. Her works reflect the depressing theme of death. She has a deep concern over peoples “survival” and the worlds disadvantaged groups. Her literary spirit belongs not only to Canada, but also to the entire world.

Key words: classical reconstruction, sin eater, Christian story, death and survival

摘要: 玛格丽特·阿特伍德是国际上享有盛誉的加拿大女作家,其作品的一大特点在于对经典文本的拆解、重构,对源文本的故事结构翻新,她在经典重构这条文学创作道路上取得了令人仰慕的成就。无论是长篇还是短篇,她的每一部小说的主题是非常压抑的,《食罪者》就是以死亡为主题的一部短篇小说。她对人的“生存”是一种深切的关怀,是对世界处在弱势群体的关怀,她的文学精神不仅是加拿大的,也是整个世界的。
