试论西方戏剧的视野

On the Inner Vision and Outer Vision in Western Drama

巴赫金把视野分为人物的内视野和作者的外视野。内视野中的人物形象与外视野中的人物形象在空间、时间和思想含义三方面都有一定的区别 ,前者比后者更具丰富性和发展性。西方剧作家在利用外视野来塑造人物时 ,比较重视正面人物的内视野 ,把他们的性格描绘得比较丰富 ,而反面人物的内视野较为有限。

A portrait in the inner vision and a portrait in the outer vision are different concerning space, time, and meaning because the former is full of varieties, and is always developing. Western playwrights pay more attention to the inner vision of the heroes, and give them more varieties, but they pay much less attention to the inner vision of their opponents, though some plays also show, to a certain degree, the inner vision of both sides.
