生则同衾 死则同穴——《孔雀东南飞》与《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的比较研究

The song of life-and-death lovers——A comparison between "the bride of Jiao Zhongqing" and "Romeo and Juliet"

《孔雀东南飞》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》都通过男女主人公的爱情悲剧,控诉了封建礼教,赞扬了男女主人公争取个性解放和爱情幸福的人文主义,这两部作品虽出自不同作家之手,文化背景、时代氛围也各不相同,却有惊人的相似之处。文章主要从文化背景、审美意趣、人物塑造三个方面,对两部作品进行对比。

＂The Bride of Jiao Zhongqing＂ and ＂Romeo and Juliet＂ both depicted thrilling love tragedies, implying the commendation of the humanism of protagonists＇struggles for personality freedom and happy love and the condemnation of the feudal ethics. Written by writers of different countries, the two works are found to have something in common although their cultural backgrounds and times were distinct. A contrast is made between the two works focusing on cultural background, aesthetic interest and characterization.
