• Abstract: The desert in Forest Dark, a novel written by Nicole Krauss embodies multifaceted symbolism. To begin with, the desert is a desolate real-world environment, which unexpectedly provides Nicole with an opportunity to break free from imitation and attain autonomy. Furthermore, it deconstructs the barren conception of the desert perpetuated by male narratives, revealing instead the inherent ecosystem within the desert and the subjectivity of Nature, thereby establishing a metaphorical connection between Nature and Women. Moreover, combined with the traditional desert narratives within Jewish culture, the novel highlights the divergence between national redemptive narratives and the individual plight of women, emphasizing how women achieve self-awakening through inward exploration. The desert thus becomes a central metaphor linking nature and femininity, providing new interpretive space for understanding the dilemmas faced by women in modern life and the reconstruction of their subjectivity. 妮可·克劳斯（NicoleKrauss）小说《暗黑森林》中的沙漠具有多重内涵，首先它是一个物理隔绝之地，却也成为激发女主妮可摆脱模仿、获取解放的契机。其次，通过解构传统男性叙事中对沙漠的荒芜想象，小说展现了沙漠内在的生命网络与自然主体性，建立起生态与女性的隐喻关联。同时，结合犹太文化的沙漠叙事传统，分析民族救赎叙事与女性个体困境之间的分歧，指出女性通过向内求索实现自我觉醒的路径。沙漠由此成为联结自然与女性的隐喻性意象，也为理解当代女性生存困境与主体性重建开辟了新的阐释空间。
