摘要
罗尔达·达尔儿童幻想小说引发的争议主要来源于其中大量存在的伦理悖论现象。本文认为,达尔利用儿童幻想小说的文体特征构建伦理悖论,引导儿童读者对善恶观念、伦理身份和道德榜样进行批判性思考,帮助儿童读者实现更深层次的道德成长,充分发挥了儿童幻想小说独特的道德教诲作用。达尔从儿童的立场出发审视儿童与成人世界的伦理关系,塑造了具有高度理性意志和正义感的儿童道德榜样,具有明显的儿童本位特质。然而,罗尔达·达尔对家庭和社会伦理关系的呈现和伦理悖论的解决方式也有极端化倾向,需警惕这一伦理悖论解决方式对于儿童读者伦理观念的潜在负面影响。
This paper investigates the abundant ethical paradoxes in Roald Dahl＇s fantasy novels from the perspective of ethical literary criticism. It holds that Dahl creates ethical paradoxes with the stylistic features of fantasy novels to help child readers exercise critical thinking in understanding concepts of good and evil, ethical identity and moral models, thus giving full play to the unique function of fantasy novels in moral teaching and moral development. Dahl examines the ethical relationship between children and adults from children＇s point of view and sets up child moral models with high rationality and sense of justice, which shows obvious child-oriented features. However, the representation of ethical relationships and the solution to ethical paradoxes bear extremist tendencies, and the potential negative impact of such extreme approaches to addressing ethical paradoxes on children＇s development of moral concepts needs to be examined.
