《玫瑰的名字》 / The Name of the Rose
[[TheNameOfTheRose|《玫瑰的名字》 / The Name of the Rose]] is the [[UmbertoEco|翁贝托·艾柯 / Umberto Eco]] novel introduced through the paired [[MihuanChishu|蜜獾吃书]] episodes 53.玫瑰的名字（上）：真与假，正与邪，诠释与过度诠释 and 54.玫瑰的名字（下）：真与假，正与邪，诠释与过度诠释. The first episode covers the setup: in 1327, [[WilliamOfBaskerville|巴斯克维尔的威廉 / William of Baskerville]] and [[AdsoOfMelk|阿德索 / Adso of Melk]] arrive at a wealthy, secretive monastery where Adelmo falls to his death, Venantius is found in a pig-blood vat, Berengar disappears, and the trail repeatedly points toward the forbidden library.
The episode reads the novel as Semiotic Detective Fiction. Every clue is also a sign to be interpreted: hoofprints, hair, a closed window, a bloody cloth, coded notes, library inscriptions, hallucinations, sexual shame, and [[BookOfRevelation|Revelation]] imagery all compete for meaning. The book’s force comes from making the reader feel both the attraction and danger of interpretation.
The source also treats the abbey as a political and theological machine. Knowledge Monopoly appears through the library’s restricted access and hidden catalogue; Laughter Against Authority appears through [[JorgeOfBurgos|豪尔赫 / Jorge of Burgos]]’s resistance to comedy and [[WilliamOfBaskerville|William]]’s defense of laughter as compatible with truth.
54.玫瑰的名字（下）：真与假，正与邪，诠释与过度诠释 completes the novel’s branch by revealing the poisoned [[AristotlePoeticsBookTwo|亚里士多德《诗学》第二卷 / Aristotle’s Poetics Book II]], Jorge’s long control of the monastery, and the false comfort of the apparent [[BookOfRevelation|Revelation]] murder pattern. The ending makes the novel both Semiotic Detective Fiction and Anti-Detective Fiction: it satisfies the need for a solution while showing that a brilliant pattern can be a seductive overreading.
