다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The narrative of Lao She’s novella Crescent Moon revolves around the threads of “Crescent Moon” (Yueyar) and “Moon” (Yueya). To explore the distinctions between the two, this study will employ textual sentiment analysis to compare and analyze “Crescent Moon” (Yueyar) and “Moon”(Yueya) uncover the emotional polarity of the protagonist, and determine their emotional tendencies. Additionally, the disappearance of “Crescent Moon”(Yueyar) and “Moon”(Yueya) in the narrative is a significant element that cannot be overlooked. It is essential to delve into why they disappear and the meaning of this disappearance.
Furthermore, Crescent Moon is a novel narrated from a first-person female perspective, wherein the narrative incorporates two forms of self: the narrating self and the experiencing self. Due to changes in time, space, and the various experiences of the characters within the narrative, these two selves diverge in terms of time, space, psychology, and values. Understanding the role of “Crescent Moon”(Yueyar) and “Moon” (Yueya) in the gap between the narrating self and the experiencing self provides new insight into Lao She’s attitude towards the protagonist. This, in turn, deepens our understanding of his sympathy and compassion for the tragic fate of urban lower-class citizens.
