从撒旦的角度看《失乐园》中上帝形象的塑造

The Image of God in Paradise Lost from the Perspective of Satan

从叙述学的角度出发,撒旦的"人物视角"可以用来分析和考察《失乐园》中上帝的形象。对上帝的"能",撒旦经历了一个从藐视到抵触到最终承认的过程;而对于上帝的"善",撒旦对圣父的善痛快承认,但他拒绝承认和接受圣子之善。撒旦所感知的上帝形象与史诗中旁观叙述者所感知的上帝形象大为不同,这种不同正是《失乐园》中叙述艺术精妙之所在。

In the light of narratology, this paper attempts to analyze the image of God in Paradise Lost from the figural perspective of Satan. Satan＇s perception of the omnipotent God varies from disdainful attitude in the beginning to acknowledgment in the end, whereas he expresses a convinced attitude towards the ＂all-good＂ of God. In fact, Satan never changes his antipathy towards the Son of God. By combining the narrator＇s perception of the image of God with the figural point of view, this paper tends to present a new understanding of the image of God in Paradise Lost.
