《失乐园》中撒旦英雄形象的文学伦理学探析

Ethical Literary Study on the Heroic Image of Satan in Paradise Lost

作为西方主流文化中的邪恶原型,约翰·弥尔顿在其史诗巨著《失乐园》中创造的撒旦英雄备受学界争议。然而,通过运用聂珍钊先生倡导的文学伦理学批评方法,分析弥尔顿的成长经历尤其是家庭环境中父亲的教育模式、求学游历阶段对剑桥教育制度和模式以及教会桎梏的种种不满,并且剖析所有这一切最终所导致的弥尔顿对英国资产阶级革命的同情与支持,从而证实弥尔顿在《失乐园》中塑造撒旦英雄形象的可能性。

As the evil archetype in western mainstream culture, Satan is in lively controversy because of the he-roic character created by John Milton in his poetical work Paradise Lost. By applying the approach of ethical liter-ary criticism advocated by Mr. Nie Zhenzhao, however, the possibility of Satan＇s heroic image created by Miltoncan be demonstrated through the analysis of Milton＇s growth, especially his father＇s educating model in family, allthe discontent with Cambridge＇s educational system and the fetters in Church and thereby Milton＇s sympathyand support to English Bourgeois Revolution.
