古典小说叙事空间的伦理阐释

Ethical Interpretations of Narrative Space in Classic Novels

从叙事伦理角度来考察小说的叙事空间,可以从空间设置和空间与人物的关系两个层面来展开。就空间设置而言,无论是物理空间还是虚幻空间,都表达了叙事主体的伦理取向;就空间与人物的关系而言,和谐性空间、背离性空间、中立性空间都体现出人物对空间的某种伦理态度。文章结合古典小说对上述观点进行了具体阐述。

From the perspective of narrative ethic,the narrative space of the novels can be expanded from spatial arrangements and the relationship between space and characters. In terms of spatial arrangement,no matter it is physical space or virtual space,both of them show ethical orientation of narrative subject; In terms of the relationship between space and characters,harmonious space,opposite space and neutral space all reflect characters' some kind of ethical attitude to space. This thesis specified above- mentioned opinions on the basic of classical novels.
