忠诚还是背叛——论库柏《领航人》中的伦理两难及其历史隐喻
发布时间:2018-11-02 17:45
【摘要】:库柏的第一部海洋小说《领航人》探讨的一个主题是人物的伦理身份问题。小说中的男女主角均深陷个人与国家、个人与个人之间错综复杂的伦理关系网之中;因为忠诚或是背叛祖国而引起伦理身份的改变,从而使小说主角陷入伦理两难的困境中。其实,小说对人物伦理身份问题的探讨,是同美国独立之前宗主国英国和北美殖民地复杂的伦理环境紧密联系的,当时殖民地人民也面临着两难的选择:是继续附属于英国母体,还是脱离母国而独立。因此,小说人物伦理两难的实质,正是此历史语境下殖民地人民面临的身份问题的艺术写照;小说人物伦理身份的确立,其本质正是殖民地人民构建美利坚民族身份的历史隐喻。
[Abstract]:One of Cooper's first marine novels, the Pilgrimage, explores the ethical identity of the characters. The protagonists and heroines in the novel are deeply involved in the personal and state and the intricate ethical relationships between the individual and the individual, and the ethical identity of the protagonist is changed because of loyalty or betrayal of the motherland, which makes the protagonist of the novel fall into an ethical dilemma. In fact, the study of the ethical identity of characters in the novel is closely related to the complex ethical environment of the Suzerain, Britain, and the colonies of North America before the independence of the United States. Colonial peoples also faced a dilemma: whether to remain attached to the British mother or to become independent from their home country. Therefore, the essence of the ethical dilemma of the characters in the novel is the artistic portrayal of the identity problem faced by the colonial people in this historical context. The establishment of the ethical identity of the characters in novels is the historical metaphor for the colonial people to construct the national identity of the United States.
