摘要
本文运用文学伦理学批评方法,将当代美国剧作家阿尔比的代表作品《谁害怕弗吉尼亚·沃尔夫?》置于20世纪五六十年代的伦理现场之中,考察当时的社会与文化如何成为伦理混乱的滋生地,导致男女主人公乔治和玛莎的斯芬克斯因子失衡;进而分析男女主人公在斯芬克斯因子重归平衡的过程中所经历的"生子"与"弑子"两次伦理选择,前者符合伦理却使他们在伦理失衡中越陷越深,后者原为伦理禁忌却使他们重归伦理自觉。
Adopting the strategy of ethical literary criticism, this article interprets Who' s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?., master- piece of Edward Albee, a modem American playwright, in the particular ethical context of the 1950s and 1960s, exploring how the society and culture at that time breed ethical disorder which results in the hero and heroine' s imbalanced Sphinx factor, and further analyzing the two ethical choices made by the hero and heroine in the process of recovering the balance of their Sphinx factor -- "childbirth" and "filicide". The former is in conformity with ethics but worsens their ethical imbalance, while the latter is an ethical taboo but recovers their ethical consciousness.
