摘要
扬·马特尔在《少年派的奇幻漂流》中刻画了极端条件下派的人性因子与兽性因子的斗争过程,其中派的斯芬克斯因子表现出显著的灵肉背离的特征,而派的兽性因子被刻画成一头凶猛的孟加拉虎理查德·帕克:它在救生艇的出现、与派的对峙、被派驯服以及最终隐藏于山林的过程暗示了自由意志和非理性意志与理性意志的斗争过程。斯芬克斯因子实为理解这部作品的核心,将文学伦理学批评的理论应用于当代优秀小说的批评扩展了该理论的实践意义。
In Life of Pi, Yann Martel portrays the conflict between rational and animal factors under extreme living conditions. One nota- ble feature of Pi＇ s Sphinx Factors is the split of soul and flesh ： Pi＇ s animal factor is depicted as a ferocious Bengal tiger, Richard Par- ker,whose appearance on the boat, confrontation with Pi, conquest by Pi and the eventual disappearance imply the conflict between the natural, irrational will and the rational will. Sphinx Factor is the core content in understanding Life of Pi. The application of the theory of Ethical Literature Criticism on contemporary literature expands its practical value.
