崇高又滑稽的堂吉诃德:圣徒与骑士的结合体

Sublime and ridiculous Don Quixote:the fusion of the saint and the knight

自命为骑士的堂吉诃德履行骑士职能,扶贫救弱、行侠仗义。除了骑士身份,堂吉诃德的圣徒身份一直被忽略。堂吉诃德生活的时代既有骑士制度的没落,也有基督教信仰的发展。他的圣徒身份主要表现在与日常生活世界的划界、信仰上帝的圣洁性及殉道者行动。圣徒与骑士身份的结合,使得他的认知方式和行动力既崇高又滑稽。骑士身份亦是以上帝信仰为最终指向,更加凸显堂吉诃德圣徒身份的意义。圣徒与骑士的融汇,堂吉诃德真正达到了"崇高又滑稽"。
