The Tragedy Collision of Justified Powers: --The Paralleled Study of Beyond the Horizon and The Border Town

《天边外》和《边城》是 2 0世纪初有影响的两部悲剧作品 ,虽然其文体及文化传统和悲剧处理不同 ,但主题、结构、悲剧走向和现代悲剧意识却惊人契合。在这两部悲剧中 ,可以看到现代悲剧关注时代、关注普通人的精神世界和情感生活的走向。它不再简单的是善与恶的冲突结果 ,而是多种力量复合的悲剧结合 ,尤其是善与善力量间必然的较量和冲突。随着生命不确定感的增强 ,这种现代悲剧的必然性开始以更丰富的文学手段自我表现着。

Beyond the Horizon and The Border Town are two celebrated tragedies at the beginning of the 20th century. Although they belong to the different literary genres, and based on the different literature cultures, they have great affinity in theme, structure and modern tragedy consciousness, etc. Through the paralleled study of the two works, we may notice the tendency of modern tragedy that focuses on everlasting affection and spirits collision of the ordinary people, and the impact of time. The competition and collision of modern tragedy are no longer only between the good and the evil, they become more and more comprehensive, and mainly between the justified powers. With the increasing uncertainty of life, the universality and inevitability of modern tragedy may self\|present in various literature genres.
