文学伦理学批评视角下的爱情伦理解读--以《远大前程》为例

An Interpretation of Love Ethic in Great Expectations from the Perspective of Ethical Literary Criticism

爱情伦理主要讨论在爱情伦理事件语境下人与人之间的深刻关系及其产生的影响和后果。以英国作家查尔斯·狄更斯的《远大前程》为例对作品中的爱情伦理元素进行了解读。从文学伦理学批评视角来看,作品描绘了维多利亚时期的伦理图景并引导读者进入一个伦理秩序失衡的世界,这种错乱与失衡在爱情伦理领域体现得尤为明显:皮普和艾斯黛拉二人潜藏的兽性因子及其触发的伦理选择是导致其伦理悲剧的核心因素;以爱情伦理为主线,通过还原小说中事件发生的"伦理现场",逐一解读小说中主要人物的"伦理身份""伦理意识"和"伦理选择",由此剖析蕴藏于作品深处的伦理内涵,尝试为同样处在经济快速发展期的当代中国读者提供新的启示。
