摘要
伯吉斯的小说《发条橙》将英国刻画成炼狱一般的暴力社会,以至于"发条橙"成了暴力的代名词。本文试图回答这样一个问题:作为天主教徒的伯吉斯,为何在作品中刻意反映社会暴力现象?并透过文本,从信仰缺失、"自由意志"失控和宗教世俗化三个方面入手,讨论小说暴力主题所体现的宗教危机意识,阐释作家对当代社会问题的认识和看法。
Anthony Burgess＇ novel A Clockwork Orange is a focused representation of the problem of violence in Western society, with its influence so far-reaching that the term ＂clockwork orange＂ almost becomes an equivalent to violence. Why should Burgess, a Catholic in belief, devote his attention to the theme of violence in society？ This paper attempts, mainly through three aspects of the loss of belief, the abuse of freewill and the secularization of religion, to look into the implied message and the author＇ s worries over the religious crisis that he believes to be the cause underlying the contemporary social problems.
