摘要
以往对默多克的代表作《大海啊,大海》的分析倾向于认为主人公查尔斯像默多克其他作品中的主人公一样,在经历了种种偶然性事件之后逐渐接近了善这一理念。本文从法国哲学家列维纳斯的理论出发解读这部作品,从主人公对待时间、女性和他人之死的态度上细致分析了其与他者的关系,得出了不同的结论,认为默多克对人向善的能力产生了更大的疑问,对追求途径的复杂性做了更为形象的描摹,在思想和作品形式上更加趋于成熟。
Many interpretations of The Sea,the Sea by Iris Murdoch tend to assume that the protagonist Charles,like many other protagonists in her other novels,grasps the essence of good after all the happenings in the novel.An opposite opinion is expounded here by adopting a Levinasian perspective.This article analyzes the relationship between Charles and other in terms of his attitudes towards concepts like time,feminine and death of other,nuancing the author＇s doubt over man＇s ability to pursue good and the difficulty one may encounter on the path to good.A more mature author is thus revealed.
