亚氏悲剧情节观中的《呼啸山庄》

A Study of Wuthering Heights from the Approach of Aristotelian Plot of Tragedy

亚里士多德将情节视为悲剧的灵魂,他在其美学巨著《诗学》中重点论述了他的悲剧情节观,并提出"突转—发现—苦难"的悲剧情节模式。英国女作家艾米丽.勃朗特的经典作品《呼啸山庄》是一部公认的悲剧,其中的情节契合着亚氏的悲剧情节模式;尤其突出体现于悲剧主人公希刺克厉夫,如他早期的爱情、复仇时期的爱情和他的悲剧人生,在他这三段经历的情节发展历程中,我们总能捕捉到亚氏"突转—发现—苦难"的思想,体验到希刺克厉夫各个阶段的"突转""发现"与"苦难"。

Aristotle regarded the plot as the soul of a tragedy, thus, in his masterpiece, The Poetics, he focused his attention on theory of the plot of a tragedy, and put forward the “Reversal of the Situation-Recognition-Scene of Suffering” mode of plot. Wuthering Heights, a classic written by Emily Bronte, an English woman writer, is a worldly-acknowledged tragedy, and the multi- ple plots of the story correspond to Aristotelian mode of plot, especially in the course of Heathcliff＇ s life, i.e. , his earlier relation- ship, his latter relationship, and his tragic life. In these three phases, we can easily discover the sparkles of Aristotelian theory of plot, and detect the“ Reversal of the Situation” “Recognition” “Scene of Suffering” of each phase respectively.
