【摘要】：菲利普·罗斯是当代最多产的美国犹太作家之一。他的代表作《美国牧歌》是美国三部曲中的第一部,于1997年完成并获得了1998年的普利策奖。这部小说主要描写了犹太移民塞莫尔·利沃夫一家四代在美国的生活。由于每一代之间的巨大差异,四代人在美国拥有完全不同的生活经历。通过这部作品,菲利普·罗斯细致而生动地向读者呈现了犹太移民们在美国的生存状态。作为他的经典作品之一,《美国牧歌》自从出版以来就引起了学者们的关注和争议。国外学者主要从身份认同以及写作技巧等方面对作品进行研究,国内学者对于该小说的研究主要围绕着“美国梦”这一主题,而本文借用文学伦理学批评的方法,试图对《美国牧歌》中主人公利沃夫的伦理困境及悲剧命运进行探索,进而指出,这部小说本质上是一部反映美国犹太人伦理问题的悲剧。本文由绪论、正文和结论三个部分组成。绪论部分介绍了菲利普·罗斯以及其文学生涯,综述了《美国牧歌》在国内外的研究现状,提出了本文的研究方法及内容。正文部分分为三章:第一章探讨了主人公利沃夫和女儿梅丽在经受了身体和心灵的双重打击后,迷失于身份危机的伦理困境之中,身份的混乱最终导致其悲剧命运。第二章主要讨论利沃夫遭受家庭伦理困境,对女儿梅丽的乱伦欲望,以及婚姻和父子的伦理危机加剧了他们的身份问题,这些都是造成其伦理悲剧的重要原因。第三章主要分析了利沃夫一家宗教信仰危机的伦理困境。在经历越南战争及反文化运动之后,美国种族矛盾加剧,在这样的的伦理环境中,主人公的宗教信仰的改变使其完全失去自我,最终展示了一出美国犹太人的伦理悲剧。结论部分从身份、家庭、宗教信仰的伦理危机这三个角度来阐释小说中主人公利沃夫的伦理困境,探寻《美国牧歌》中主人公利沃夫的伦理悲剧及所蕴含的深刻伦理内涵。其次论文旨在剖析作品中所蕴含的伦理道德问题,以期为现代社会生活带来启迪。
[Abstract]:Philip Ross is one of the most prolific American Jewish writers. His masterpiece American Shepherd, the first of the American trilogy, was completed in 1997 and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998. The novel depicts the life of four generations of Jewish immigrants, Seymour Lviv, in the United States. Because of the great differences between generations, four generations have completely different life experiences in the United States. Through this work, Philip Ross presents a detailed and vivid picture of the Jewish immigrants' existence in the United States. As one of his classic works, American Shepherd has attracted the attention and controversy of scholars since its publication. Foreign scholars mainly study the works from the aspects of identity and writing skills. The domestic scholars mainly focus on the theme of "American Dream", and this article uses the method of literary ethics criticism. This paper attempts to explore the ethical dilemma and tragic fate of the protagonist Lviv in American Shepherd and points out that the novel is essentially a tragedy reflecting the ethical problems of American Jews. This paper consists of three parts: introduction, text and conclusion. The introduction introduces Philip Ross and his literary career, summarizes the research status of American Shepherd at home and abroad, and puts forward the research methods and contents of this paper. The main body is divided into three chapters: the first chapter discusses the protagonist Lviv and her daughter Melly, who are lost in the ethical dilemma of identity crisis after being hit by both body and soul, and the confusion of identity eventually leads to their tragic fate. The second chapter mainly discusses that Lviv suffered from family ethics dilemma, the incest desire of her daughter Melly, and the ethical crisis of marriage and father and son aggravated their identity problems, which are the important reasons for his ethical tragedy. The third chapter mainly analyzes the ethical dilemma of the Lviv family's religious belief crisis. After the Vietnam War and the anti-cultural movement, the racial conflicts in the United States intensified. In such an ethical environment, the change of the protagonist's religious beliefs made him completely lose himself, and finally showed an ethical tragedy of American Jews. The conclusion part explains the ethical dilemma of the protagonist Lviv from the three angles of identity, family and the ethical crisis of religious belief, and explores the ethical tragedy of the protagonist in American Shepherd and its profound ethical connotation. Secondly, the thesis aims to analyze the ethical problems in the works in order to bring enlightenment to modern social life.
