从《四川好人》与《圣经》的互文浅析布莱希特的反宗教理念

Analysis of Brecht’s Anti-religious Ideas from the Intertextuality of The Good Person of Szechwan and Bible

布莱希特在很多戏剧中都加入了与宗教有关的主题,《四川好人》虽然没有明确提到宗教,剧中的很多场景设计却和《圣经》的场景对应,但和后者所宣扬的上帝全能理念相反:布莱希特在《四川好人》中刻画的代表宗教的三位神仙,无力改变经济衰退、道德败坏的现实社会。本文按照《四川好人》情节发展的时间顺序,分别从民众期望、社会矛盾、幻想破灭三个方面分析布莱希特所表达的反宗教理念以及对资本主义制度的批判。

Brecht has added themes related to religion in many dramas.Although T he Good Person of Szechwan does not explicitly mention religion,many scene designs in the drama correspond to the scenes of the classic work in Christianity—Bible.However,contrary to the concept of God’s Almighty as advocated in the Bible,the three gods portrayed by Brecht in The Good Person of Szechwan representing religion are unable to change the real society of recession and demoralization.According to the chronological sequence of the development of The Good Person of Szechwan,this article analyzes how Brecht expressed his anti-religious ideas and criticized the capitalist system from the perspectives of popular expectations,social conflicts and disillusionment.
