《雨王亨德森》的一种加缪式的解读

A Camusian Interpretation of Henderson the Rain King

《雨王亨德森》体现了加缪哲学的"荒谬——个人反抗——集体反抗——和谐"的整体脉络,主人公亨德森所体验的异化感、死亡意象、荒谬处境、反抗和对和谐的渴求表征了加缪哲学思想中的"荒谬"概念,其"异化——寻求——回归"的人生路是现代人荒谬处境的极好映射。亨德森在焦虑和质疑中踏上了反抗荒谬的漫漫征程,努力在荒谬的世界上探寻和创造存在的意义,并在困境中寻求一条融于现实但又保持着个人存在的道路是作者索尔.贝娄对加缪"荒谬"存在的极好解读。

Henderson the Rain King reflects the whole clue of 'absurdity-individual revolt-collective-revolt-harmony' in Camus' philosophy.The alienation,the death image,the absurd situations,the struggles and the desire for balance experienced by the protagonist Henderson mirror the 'concept of absurd' in Camus' philosophy.Henderson's life experience of 'alienation-search-return' is a vivid reflection of the absurd situation of modern men.In worries and doubts,Henderson embarks on the long journey of fighting against the absurd and tries to search,create the meaning of existence in the absurd world and reconcile with the reality while maintaining his individual existence,which is Saul Bellow's in-depth interpretation of Camus' philosophy of the absurd.
