摘要
本文从细读原文文本着手,借鉴了英国19世纪批评家阿诺德的"希腊精神与希伯来精神"的理论,用以剖析哈代的小说《无名的裘德》中三个主要人物——裘德、阿拉贝娜和淑的性格,用具体例子阐释了"灵与肉的冲突"这一主题,并指出了小说的悲剧根源就在于希腊精神与希伯来精神的冲突,并以代表后者的、束缚人性的僵化道德伦理压垮了小说主人公所体现的追求个人自由、反对常规婚姻约束的希腊精神而终结。
By way of close reading,the present paper builds its thesis on the theory of'Hellenism and Hebraism',advanced by 19th-century English critic Matthew Arnold.It makes an in-depth analysis of the three main characters—Jude,Arabella and Sue—in Hardy's novel Jude the Obscure.The author pro- pounds the theme of'conflict between the flesh and the spirit'and points out that the tragedy in this novel derives from the conflict between Hellenism and Hebraism and culminates in the triumph of the rigid morality epitomizing He- braism over Hellenism as embodied in Sue,who seeks individual liberty and re- volts against conventional marriage customs.
