摘要
乔治·艾略特以全新的方式将小说发展为道德寓言,贯穿在她作品中的强烈的伦理关怀使其被评论家们誉为"伦理先知"。用文学伦理学批评的方法重新解读《米德尔马契》有助于我们深入理解艾略特小说中的伦理关怀特质。在斯宾诺莎的伦理学思想的影响下,艾略特的伦理道德观可以概括为对他人的同情、个人与社会之间的伦理关系以及道德的自我完善。同时,从分析潜在的伦理意识入手,艾略特和多萝西娅的爱情婚姻观并非像许多女性主义批评家争论的那样自相矛盾,因此,伦理批评也构成了对小说其他解读视角的一种补充和再阐释。
Having developed her fictions into moral allegories,George Eliot was extolled as ＂ethical prophet＂ for the strong ethical preoccupation embodied in her works.Adopting the method of ethical literary criticism to reinterpret her masterpiece Middlemarch,we can profoundly understand its ethical preoccupation.Under the influence of Spinoza＇s ethical thoughts,Eliot＇s ethical views are constituted by sympathy for others,ethical relations between individual and society and ethical self-perfection.Moreover,the analysis of the underlying ethical consciousness in the novel proves that Eliot＇s and Dorothea＇s views on love and marriage are not self-contradictory as many feminist critics have argued,so ethical criticism can be regarded as a complement to and reinterpretation of other perspectives of reading the fiction.
