论《莎乐美》叙事中的现代性

The Modernity in Salomé's Narration

《莎乐美》这部戏剧思想并非是沿着善与恶、是与非的传统轴线展开的。从该剧所叙述的主题和塑造的人物分析来看,它其实已经跨入到了现代主义的叙事空间中来。从某种意义上说,《莎乐美》是一部表现现代人的精神幻灭,带有某种先锋特质的现代主义剧作。本文拟运用文本细读方式,从"水窖与月亮"、"上帝已死"和"血泊里跳舞"三个方面论述王尔德在这部戏剧中所表达的现代性。

Oscar Wilde＇s Salome is a play that expresses his idea of modernity that is yet not expressed along the axis of virtues and vices or right and wrong. An analysis of the theme and characterization will expose the play＇s modernism. It indicates that on one hand Wilde applauds the theme of ＂God is dead＂, asserting that all the human values are to be reassessed; on the other hand, he mourns that without God＇s protect, the modern humankind will breed an ambivalent feeling of love and hatred toward God. In a sense, Salome is a modernist drama that bears certain avant-gardeness and exposes the modern humankind＇s disillusionment. The author of the present essay will discuss Wilde＇s modernity in Salomk from the following three aspects through a textual analysis, namely, ＂Cistern and the Moon＂, ＂the Death of God＂ and ＂Dance in the Blood＂.
