Abstract:This article examines patterns of silence and inexpressibility between characters, author, and reader, beginning in Sir Thomas Malory’s Book of Tristram. These silences indicate Cornwall and Camelot cannot discuss adultery without the discourse of treason. When the silence is finally broken, Camelot collapses and the narrative is forced to end.

“没有嗑药可以说话”：托马斯·马洛里爵士的《死神达瑟》中的沉默和难以表达

摘要：本文从托马斯·马洛里爵士的崔斯特瑞姆之书开始，探讨了人物、作者和读者之间的沉默和难以表达的模式。这些沉默表明康沃尔和卡米洛特不能在没有叛国话语的情况下讨论通奸。当沉默终于被打破时，卡米洛特崩溃了，故事被迫结束。
