摘要
索尔·贝娄的代表作《赫索格》中蕴含丰富的神话元素。以弗莱的神话原型批评理论为视角分析,《赫索格》在人物模式和叙事模式上分别是对《圣经》中古代英雄摩西和耶稣复活的移位,体现了追寻与重生两大母题:追寻是对人类信仰丧失,精神死亡状态的证伪;重生则意味着人类走出精神困境,重塑自我。追寻是重生的前奏,重生是追寻的结果。追寻与重生,互相交融,贯通全书,表现了作者对现代社会人类发展命运的思考,体现了作者肯定的社会伦理观。
Saul Bellow＇s masterpiece Herzog is analyzed with the archetypal literary criticism theory. In terms of charactertype and narrative design,the novel derives its archetypes respectively from antique heroes Moses and Jesus Resurrection,which reflects two motifs： quest and revival. The motif,quest,confirms the state of loss of faith and death of spirit in the human world while the revival refers to extrication of human beings from spiritual predicament and to the rebuilding of themselves and the whole human world as well. Thus the quest is the prelude to the revival and the revival is the consequence of the quest. The two items,mingling together and threading through the whole novel,express the writer＇s meditation on future development of the human world and his positive concept of social ethics.
