情欲和死亡——《荒原》中的人性艺术化表达

The Lust and Death: the Artistic Expression of Human Nature in The Waste Land from Artistic Perspective

艾略特的诗歌表达了西方一代人的精神幻灭,在西方现代文学中具有划时代意义。《荒原》是其典型代表作,时代背景的昏暗决定了作者诗作风格上的沉郁和晦涩,他将情欲和死亡这两个词完美的演绎在"死者的葬礼"、"对弈"、"火诫"、"水里的死亡"和"雷霆的话"这5组诗歌之中,以文学艺术的手法将这两种人性特点加以归纳,全诗以情欲和绝望的死亡气息来发人深思。回忆、斗争、绝望、死亡都成了逼促情欲的方式,然后情欲最终送一个人走上死亡。分析和探究《荒原》中人性的艺术化表达,将让我们更深的熟悉作者、了解时代背景,并对当时人性存在有更深的认知,为我们当今社会道德建设提供理论借鉴。

As a master of modern poetry both in British and American literature,T？ S ？Eliot has won a wide reputation throughout the world.His poems reflect the spiritual disillusion of Western people of his time,showing epoch-making significance in the Western modern literature.As Eliot＇s typical masterpiece,The Waste Land shows us the depressed and obscure writing style with its dim background.In the five groups of The Burial of the Dead,A Game of Chess,The Fire Sermon,Death by Water,and What the Thunder Said,he shows us the humanistic characteristics of lust and death to bring us a profound thinking of our human nature.Memories,struggle,despair,and death have each become a force to promote lust,which finally sent a person to death.The deep analysis and research on the human nature in The Waste Land from the artistic perspective will help us more deeply understand the author and his time,as well as the human nature,which would be a theoretic assistance to the moral construction in our society.
