诅咒的情节功能:史诗《摩诃婆罗多》叙事艺术研究

The Plot Function of Curse:A Narrative Art Study of the Epic Mahabharata

史诗《摩诃婆罗多》中存在大量的诅咒。受语言崇拜、婆罗门教的宣扬和命运观的影响,婆罗门仙人的诅咒具有法力这一观念,在印度人民的认知中成为一种心理定势。诅咒创造的情感变化链和激起的审美情感体验,满足了生发情节的情感逻辑条件。有因有果的诅咒勾勒出有头有尾的情节线条,因果二重运动实现了动态、连续的情节建构。在史诗追求解脱、达到“梵我一如”的主旨下,诅咒生成的所有大大小小的情节完成了与主情节的有机整合,实现了史诗故事宏大的逻辑建构,形成了史诗的特别之“味”。

There are many curses in the epic Mahabharata.Due to the influence of the worship of language,the propagation of Brahmanism and the concept of destiny,the idea that the curse of Brahman Rishi has magic power has become a psychological stereotype in the cognition of the Indian people.The emotional change chain created by curse and the aesthetic emotional experience aroused by it satisfy the emotional logic conditions of the plot.The curse of cause and effect outlines the plot line with a beginning and an end,and the dual movement of cause and effect realizes the dynamic and continuous plot construction.Under the theme of pursuing relief and achieving Brahmatmaikya in the epic,all the plots generated by the curse have completed the organic integration with the main plot,realized the grand logical construction of the epic story,and formed the special taste of the epic.
