论汪曾祺小说的悲剧意味

Tragic Color in Wang Zenqi's Novels

汪曾祺经历过人生的无奈和悲凉,所以他的小说总有一点淡淡的忧郁,尤其是他后期,相当一部分作品蕴藏着悲剧意味。这种悲剧意味不那么张扬,而是含蓄的,具体表现为命运悲剧、人性悲剧和伦理悲剧。他借人物的遭遇表现人生的悲凉,显示了一个人道主义者的悲悯情怀。他的悲剧精神不是表现为与命运的斗争与反抗,而是表现为对弱者的悲悯与同情,由此形成了他独特的悲情艺术世界。

Wang Zenqi suffered personal tragedies all his life and his novels are therefore colored with distress and tragedies which are implied in characters＇ destinies, personalities and social morals. He expressed his sympathies for characters＇ sufferings. His tragic sympathies for the weak rather than struggle against his destiny constitutes his art of tragedy.
