阿波罗、狄俄尼索斯与莎乐美的变容

Apollo,Dionysus and the Transfiguration of Salome

尼采在《悲剧的诞生》中提出了日神精神和酒神精神,他认为这两种貌似“对抗”力量的完美融合造就了古希腊悲剧。借此角度,本文重审王尔德悲剧《莎乐美》,着重分析莎乐美,叙利亚军官与乔卡南这组人物。莎乐美具有“日神-酒神”双重身份,而叙利亚人和先知分饰日神与酒神,她从阿波罗向狄俄尼索斯的变容经历了前两者的死亡以及自身的悲剧结尾。日神精神的消亡,酒神精神的觉醒,以及酒神仪式般的疯狂结尾,是莎乐美的历程,也是悲剧的释放过程,更是这部希腊风格的法语杰作的魅力所在。

Nietzsche put forward the Apollonian and the Dionysian in The Birth of Tragedy.He thought that the perfect combination of the two seemingly“antagonistic”forces has created the Anthenian tragedy.From this point of view,this paper reexamines Wilde’s tragedy Salome,focusing on Salome,the young Syrian and Jokannan.Salome has the dual identity of“Apollo-Dionysus”,while the Syrian and the Prophet represent Apollo and Dionysus.Her transfiguration from Apollo to Dionysus experiences the death of the first two and her tragic ending.The waning of the Apollonian,the awakening of the Dionysian,and the crazy ending in the ritual of Dionysus present the course of Salome,the delivery of tragedy,and the charm of this French masterpiece in Athenian style.
