精神荒原,终极救赎——基督教视角下的《荒原》解读

Ultimate Salvation of Soul Wasteland——Deciphering T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land from the Perspective of Christianity

目前关于《荒原》的宗教思想,主要存在"骑士寻找圣杯"和"个人精神世界的崩溃与重组过程"的观点,但两种观点各有其不足。尝试剖析艾略特的《荒原》创作根源,通过对《荒原》的主线分析,找出既能驾驭全诗各片断又能解决"荒原"缺水却有水的矛盾的是基督教主线,即"罪—遭上帝离弃—地狱—救赎",同时还阐释了在该主线下衍生的无数基督教故事。基于以上分析,推断出艾略特在《荒原》中的创作视角为基督教视角;所表达的核心思想是信仰基督教才能摆脱精神荒原,得到最终救赎。

The myth of ＂Knights looking for the Sangrear＂ and ＂Breakdown of Man＇s Spirit and the Reconstruction＂ are two viewpoints about religious thought in T. S. Eliot＇s The Waste Land. However, neither of them is complete enough. Starting from analyzing the cause of his creation for The Waste Land, this article focuses on finding Christian main thread, namely, ＂Guilt - Abandonment by God - Hell - Salvation＂, which can not only rein every part of the whole poem, but also solve the conflict between lack of water and existence of water in The Waste Land. Meanwhile, Christian stories based on the main thread are interpreted. Accordingly, the author concludes that Eliot＇s creates The Waste Land under the influence of Christianity, of which the essence is to get ultimate salvation through Christianity.
