从萨特存在主义角度解读《恋爱中的女人》之女主角古德伦

Reading the Heroine Gudrun in Women in Love from the Perspective of Sartrean Existentialism

劳伦斯对人类存在、尤其是人际关系问题具有敏锐的洞察力,从他作品人物的身上我们可以真切感受到他对人与自然、人与人之间复杂关系的存在主义关怀。《恋爱中的女人》里古德伦一角凝结了作者对人与人究竟有没有可能和谐相处这一问题的终极思考。从萨特存在主义的角度,我们发现古德伦经常在无形中扮演上帝的角色,以达到自身"自在"与"自为"的统一;她以一种超然冷漠、疏远孤立的态度对待他人,视"他人"为地狱;她与恋人杰拉尔德反目成仇,"自为"无法同化"他人"自由便唯有与之对立。

D. H. Lawrence has a sharp insight into human existence, especially interpersonal relationship. His deep concern about the complex relationship between man and nature, man and man can be discerned in his portrayal of various characters. Women in love, a philosophical novel written by Lawrence in post - war agony, is essentially profound and thought - provoking. Gudrun, one of the heroines, is a ripe fruit of the author＇s reflection on the possibility of harmonious human relations, worth our unremitting exploration. Reading from the perspective of Sartrean Existentialism, we cam find that Gudrun often plays the role of God unawares, to achieve a synthesis of in - itself - for - itself, that she has a detached and apathetic, distant and isolated personality, regarding the Other as hell, and that her love for Gerald gradually grows into hate because a ＂foritself＂ confronts the Others freedom once it fails to assimilate the freedom.
