The Analysis of Angel Clare’s Tragedy
in Tess of The D’urbervilles
《苔絲》中安琪爾•克萊爾悲劇解析

摘要
文學(xué)作品是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的一面鏡子，反映了生活的方方面面。越來越多的學(xué)者開始從文學(xué)的角度研究一個國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)，政治和文化根源。悲劇是小說創(chuàng)作的手法之一。西方早在古希臘時期就有了悲劇創(chuàng)作。悲劇不是簡單的藝術(shù)形式或藝術(shù)技巧，而是對現(xiàn)實(shí)社會的特征的再現(xiàn)，它可以通過尖銳、激烈的事件展示令人憐憫、悲痛、同情、哭泣等的情節(jié)。英國著名作家托馬斯•哈代是維多利亞時期著名的小說家之一。他塑造了許多悲劇人物，展現(xiàn)出各種人物魅力。小說除了給人以命運(yùn)悲劇莊嚴(yán)凝重以外，還蘊(yùn)涵了作者深厚的理性主義，蘊(yùn)涵了對人類歷史邏輯矛盾深邃反思的社會悲劇。哈代的悲劇小說《德伯家的苔絲》真實(shí)地反映了其當(dāng)時的社會現(xiàn)實(shí)。小說成功地塑造了女主人苔絲的形象，無情地揭露了資產(chǎn)階級社會虛偽的倫理道德。本文試從男主人公安琪兒•克萊爾的社會背景和人物心理兩個方面，探討導(dǎo)致其悲劇的成因。
