爱与死——《野草》与《十夜梦》比较之一

Love and Death——One Aspect of Comparative Study between Wild Grass and Ten-Night Dreams

“爱与死”是鲁迅的《野草》与夏目漱石的《十夜梦》的一个共同主题。然而,“爱与死”之于鲁迅和夏目漱石来说又是有所区别的,处于道德困境中的鲁迅是用“死”的砖石来建造“爱”的巴别塔,即“向死而爱”,这其中伴随着一种浓重的焦灼不安和痛苦不堪;而处于“幻影之盾”中的夏目漱石是用“死”的炭火来锻炼“爱”的真金,即“因死见爱”,这其中伴随着一种淡淡的寂寞无奈和悲哀无助。另外,鲁迅与夏目漱石又都以一种近乎戏谑的方式来反对一种虚假的爱与死。

Although Love and death is one of the common motifs in Wild Grass by Luxun and Ten - Night Dreams by Natsume Soseki, some differences still exit. To Luxun who falls into ethics conflict, he uses brick of death to build the Babel of love with uneasiness and affliction; To Natsume Soseki who dreams in a fair world, he uses the fire of death to smelt the gold of love with loneliness and melancholy. In addition, both writers oppose the false love and death through a prank way.
