摘要
尤金·奥尼尔关注现代社会和现代人的生存困境。他的戏剧从不同的角度反映了现代自我的特征与生存困境。本文借助查尔斯.泰勒有关自我的理论对尤金.奥尼尔的代表作《天边外》作了伦理学解读。通过分析剧中主人公罗伯特的道德自我的构成和内在矛盾,剖析分裂性的道德自我如何影响罗伯特的人生道路并进而导致他的人生悲剧。本文认为从罗伯特这一现代自我的文学形象塑造中,奥尼尔敏锐地抓住并表现了西方现代自我困惑与道德信仰危机之间的联系。
Eugene O＇ Neill cares about the modern society and the dilemma of the modem man. His plays reflect the features of modem selves and their frustration. Employing Charles Taylor＇ s theories on the self, the author of this paper presents an ethical reading of Beyond the Horizon. It analyzes the construction of Robert＇ s moral self and his inherent inner conflicts in order to show how divided self shapes the life of Robert and thus leads to his tragedy. The author suggests that by creating Robert as an illustration of modem self, O＇Neill has actually discerned and revealed the relationship between the identity problem of modern man and their spiritual crisis.
