论《奥赛罗》中伊阿古的伦理选择

An Analysis of Iago’s Ethical Selection in Othello

莎士比亚在《奥赛罗》中刻画了一个十足的恶人伊阿古。借助聂珍钊教授的斯芬克斯因子理论对伊阿古的伦理身份进行分析后,发现他作恶的伦理原因是兽性因子的异常活跃,导致伦理意识的丧失,继而做出错误的伦理选择。因伊阿古伦理选择的不当,最终导致了众人的毁灭,也体现了莎士比亚在该剧中寄予的伦理价值和道德教诲。

In Othello, Shakespeare depicted a vivid evil character Iago. After an analysis to Iago’s ethical identity from the perspective of the theory of Sphinx factor from Professor Nie Zhenzhao, it revealed the ethical reason of his evil that due to the active animal factor, he lost his ethical consciousnesses and thus made improper ethical choices.Owing to his improper ethical choices, it finally rendered the ruin of four characters. It also reflects the ethical value and moral edification which Shakespeare expressed in Othello.
