摘要
《蝇王》、《珊瑚岛》和《鲁滨孙飘流记》这三部小说出自不同的时代,但作者都将主人公置于孤岛上。巴兰坦笔下的人物本性善良,而笛福和戈尔丁笔下的人物都知道邪恶生存于自身。《鲁滨孙飘流记》是一部现实主义小说,它颂扬了个人的创造力及其对上帝的信赖;《珊瑚岛》以一个传奇故事表现了大英帝国的社会精神风貌,旨在为儿童提供教育和娱乐;《蝇王》则是一部寓言,它将儿童世界作为成人世界的缩影给展示出来,从而打破了天真的神话,将人们带回到被巴兰坦置于"另类"和被笛福过分简单化的邪恶问题上。
Lord of the Flies, the Coral Island, and Robinson Crusoe come from different times, but each of the authors employs the same technique: isolating the hero(es) on an island. Ballantyne's Characters are presented as fundamentally good, whereas Defoe's & Golding's are aware that evil is in themselves. Robinson Crusoe is a realistic novel & glorifies the individual's creative energy & his reliance on God to keep him on the right path; The Coral Island is a clear expression of the British Empire ethos presented in a romance meant for both instruction & entertainment of its children; Lord of the Flies is a fable presenting a society of children as a microcosm of the adult world. It explodes the myth of innocence and takes us back to the problem of evil misplaced by Ballantyne in 'the other' & oversimplified by Defoe.
