格雷厄姆·格林宗教小说中的生存悖论

The Existential Paradox in Graham Greene's Religious Novels

英国小说家格雷厄姆·格林因创作《布莱顿硬糖》、《权力与荣耀》及《问题的核心》等宗教小说奠定了他在英国文学史上的不朽地位。"人的生存困境"是格林一直青睐的主题,其作品中的戏剧效果更是促进了现实主义的新发展。本文对上述三部作品中的生存悖论现象进行了分析和整合,发现格林小说中的悖论存在于一个个平庸甚至丑陋,然而不乏真性情的戏剧化人物之中,存在于其对人性的探讨之中。而且在很大程度上,生存悖论这一重要主题是通过格林在创作手法上实现了"雅"与"俗"的平衡才得以很好地表现的。

Graham Greene＇s religious novels Brighton Rock, The Power and the Glory and The Heart of the Matter have helped establish his long-standing position in British literary history. ＂ Human being＇s existential dilemma＂ constitutes a persistent theme throughout Greene＇s works, whose dramatic new realism. This essay claims that the existential itself in the characterization of ugly characters, in effect contributes to the development of paradox in the trilogy always embodies the author＇s exploration of human nature, and in his dialectical view of aesthetics.
