Abstract
James Fenimore Cooper was one of the first popular American novelists, who was born in September 1789 in Burlington and died in 1851. The Last of Mohicans is regarded as Cooper’s masterpiece, which opens a new area for American literature. The story happens in the third year of the seven-year war which launched by the English and French aggressors. The story reappears vividly the aggressors’ criminal action and it also reveals the author’s sympathy to the Indians through the whole story. The novel exposes that the roof of the contradiction conflict and violence slaughter lies in the colonization desire of the English and French aggressors.
The author applies a large amount of symbolism to promote the development of the story, to distill the theme of the novel and to present the “black” atmosphere. The paper is divided into three parts: the first part mainly introduces the author and the story content to the reader. The second part analyzes the use of symbols in The Last of Mohicans through the descriptions of the conversations, bible, environment, animals and gun. The third part is the conclusion. It helps the reader to get a further understanding of the novel’s deep sense and attain a better understanding of the meanings what the author really wants to express.

摘 要
詹姆斯•费尼莫尔•库伯出生在美国伯斯顿(1789-1851),是美国文学史上一位很受欢迎的作家。《最后的莫希干人》是作者库柏的经典代表作,它开创了美国民族文学的先河。故事发生在战争的第三个年头,它生动地再现了英法侵略者的罪恶行径,同时也处处流落出作者本人对印第安人的同情。小说揭示了矛盾冲突、暴力屠杀的根源在于英法侵略者的殖民欲望。
作者在文中大量运用象征主义手法,以此来推动故事情节的发展、升华文章的主题,渲染“黑色”气氛。本文共分为三个部分:第一部分主要介绍作者和故事内容;第二部分分别从语言、圣经、环境、动物、长枪等方面来分析《最后的莫希干人》的象征主义手法;第三部分为结论部分。通过论文三部分的描写来使读者对文章的深层含义有更深一步的了解,方便读者了解作者所要表达的真正含义。
