摘要
《贝奥武甫》是中世纪欧洲第一部民族史诗,古英语文学最重要的作品。本文结合诗歌中的历史背景,考察了主人公同怪物的关系,分析了诗歌中对财富与人生价值的思考,指出在似乎荒诞的斗妖故事后面包含着反对仇杀、渴望和平的声音。
This thesis re - examines the narrative of fights between the hero and the monsters in Beowulf and the nature of its major episodes and additional characters. It concludes that Beowulf shows a tragic sense of human existence, questions the value of wealth and virtues affirmed by the fighting tribes, and appeals to reason for a more rational life, a life not based on plundering and killing.
