诺思罗普·弗莱的悲剧观

Northrop Frye's View of Tragedy

在弗莱的文学批评体系中,悲剧不仅是通常意义上的文学体裁,还是弗莱所谓"虚构型"文学中的一种基本倾向,以及一种比平常的文学体裁更广阔的文学叙事范畴、叙事结构(mythoi)。弗莱的悲剧观,既是体裁论,又是批评观;弗莱拓展了体裁意义上的悲剧,但同时也淡化了悲剧的审美和哲学意义。因为弗莱结构主义的文学观,他的悲剧观放弃了历史、政治维度,并且进一步牺牲了悲剧的人生实践意义。

Tragedy is firstly a western literature genre generally,secondly a base tendency of the western fiction literature,and thirdly a literary narrative category or a mythoi in Frye's literary criticism system.Frye's view of tragedy is a genre view and also a criticism view.He extended the genre sense of the tragedy,and also desalinated the tragedy's aesthetic and philosophical significance.Because of his structuralism literary view,Frye's tragedy opinion gave up the historical and political dimensions,and further more sacrificed the tragedy's life practice meaning.
