麦克尤恩作品的悲剧美——以朱光潜悲剧心理学观点为视角

The Beauty of Tragedy in Mc Ewan's Novels——From the View of Zhu Guangqian's Pshychology of Tragedy

伊恩·麦克尤恩向来没有设置美好结局的习惯,其作品通常是在最后关头情节发展急转直下,主人公往往无法摆脱悲剧性的命运。在《只爱陌生人》和《无辜者》中,麦克尤恩以冷静客观的笔触为读者欣赏悲剧预设一定的距离,同时促使读者思考悲剧的成因,既有外部不可控因素,也有主人公个人好奇心或利益的驱使。从而得出启示:要敢于直面生活中的悲剧,无论何时都不丧失信心,保持对人类道德最美好的向往。
