奥古斯特·威尔逊戏剧的美与崇高

Beauty and Sublimity in August Wilson's Plays

奥古斯特·威尔逊的戏剧具有极高的美学价值。他的十部剧描述了美国黑人在冷酷的自然环境和恶劣的社会环境下探索寻找自我和梦想的故事。无论是从单部剧作的角度还是十部剧作为整体视角来看,威尔逊戏剧人物、情节和主题均实现了多样中的统一。借助内省和文化救赎的力量,剧中美国黑人实现了从痛感到快感的转化。

August Wilson＇s plays are of great aesthetic values. His ten-play cycle displays African Americans＇ pursuit of a prestigious life and fulfillment of their dreams in historical milieu and social restraints. With regard to any one single play or the entire ten-play cycle,there is uniformity amidst variety in terms of characters,plots and themes. With the power of introspection and cultural redemption,the black protagonists in Wilson＇s plays have transcended the keenly feel to realize their large charge in an aesthetic sense.
