现实主义中的一抹浪漫——从蓓基的性格塑造试探萨克雷的心路历程

The Romantic Tint in Realism——A Probe into W.M.Thackeray's Psychological Experiences through Becky Sharp's Characterization

浪漫主义主要源于现实与理想的差距,并在作品中制造填补差距的生活材料。而浪漫主义作品中的人物形象,往往是现有现实的反映及想象的寄托。《名利场》中,萨克雷借助于想象与塑造,通过对女主人公蓓基由"原始"至"叛逆"至"阴暗"的性格发展建构,寻求着自由、激情、快乐的浪漫主义理想,演绎了自身现实生活中由"向往"至"反抗"再至"感伤与离情"的心路历程。

Romanticism has generated out of the sharp contrast between reality and ideals,and created living materials to make up for the gap conversely in literary works,in which many characters make the combination of both reality and imagination come true.By means of imagination and characterization,Thackeray,the author of Vanity Fair,through the construction of Becky＇s characteristic development from ＂primitive＂ to ＂rebellious＂ to ＂dismal＂ one,has displayed successfully his psychological experiences from ＂desire＂ to ＂rebellion＂ till ＂sentimentality and transcendence＂ in reality,thus achieving his romantic ideal for freedom,dynamism and joy.
