呼唤人性回归的使者——浅析《失明症漫记》医生妻子的形象

The Messenger Calling Humanity back:On the Figure of Doctor's Wife in "Blindness"

若泽.萨拉马戈带着对人类在文明世界中逐渐丢失人性的不安和疑虑,创作了在其众多作品中内容最为冷酷、主题最沉重的作品——《失明症漫记》。在这部作品中,作者虚构一种通过目光对视传染的失明症无情地败坏人类和文明的特征,通过这个矛盾冲突最为激烈的失明世界来凸现医生妻子呼唤人性回归的使者形象。医生妻子的两个特征——拥有一双正常的眼睛和对人性的执著感情,使医生妻子的形象具有多重意义。医生的妻子以自己的眼睛和具体的言行举止,在生活上无私地帮助周围的盲人,在精神上给盲人们信心和勇气,让他们得以在失明惨剧中慢慢找回人性,体现了其呼唤人性回归的使者形象。这也正是萨拉马戈关切人类命运和探索世界前途的具体表现。
