論文(設(shè)計(jì))名稱:淺談賈寶玉與西門慶的悲劇性
一、研究或設(shè)計(jì)的目的和意義
《金瓶梅》作為是中國(guó)的第1奇書,自問世以后,就為中國(guó)的世情小說的發(fā)展奠定了基礎(chǔ),并且把我國(guó)長(zhǎng)篇小說的發(fā)展劃分成了才子佳人的故事和家庭生活為題材描摹世態(tài)的及以社會(huì)生活為題材、用諷刺筆法來(lái)暴露社會(huì)的黑暗的兩大派系。而《紅樓夢(mèng)》在批判的繼承了《金瓶梅》的才子佳人小說的創(chuàng)作經(jīng)驗(yàn)后又有了重大的突破。成為了世情小說最偉大的作品。在“54”文學(xué)革命者做出了新的評(píng)價(jià),魯迅等闡述了《紅樓夢(mèng)》的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義精神和杰出成就后,使《紅樓夢(mèng)》的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義精神得以回歸。直到現(xiàn)在,《紅樓夢(mèng)》、《金瓶梅》仍是許多作家永遠(yuǎn)讀不完、永遠(yuǎn)值得讀的好書。成為中國(guó)作家創(chuàng)作出高水平的作品的不可多得的借鑒品。然而,探討兩大名著的男主人公賈寶玉與西門慶的悲劇性,可以對(duì)兩大名著中的社會(huì)悲劇,人類悲劇,男人悲劇更好的認(rèn)識(shí)和了解,以供后人借鑒。從而啟發(fā)后世的世情小說的創(chuàng)作,使今后的世情小說創(chuàng)作中的人物悲劇性達(dá)到1個(gè)更高的巔峰。
二、研究和設(shè)計(jì)的國(guó)內(nèi)外現(xiàn)狀和發(fā)展趨勢(shì):
中國(guó)的兩大世情小說《紅樓夢(mèng)》、《金瓶梅》。對(duì)他們的研究是中國(guó)古代小說研究領(lǐng)域中的兩大學(xué)術(shù)熱點(diǎn)。被稱為中國(guó)第1奇書的《金瓶梅》從106世紀(jì)末問世后,研究者1開始不是很多,但是隨著中國(guó)學(xué)術(shù)的從古典向現(xiàn)代轉(zhuǎn)型,隨著小說價(jià)值觀念的變革與更新。對(duì)《金瓶梅》的研究漸漸的由微入深,被學(xué)術(shù)界稱為“金學(xué)”。并受到國(guó)外學(xué)者的高度重視,F(xiàn)如今的外文譯本有英、法、德、意、拉丁、芬蘭、俄、日、朝、越、蒙等10幾多種文種。對(duì)其做出了各方面的重大研究,并稱其為中國(guó)通俗小說的'發(fā)展史上1個(gè)偉大的創(chuàng)新。國(guó)內(nèi)外的眾多評(píng)論者并對(duì)其的創(chuàng)作時(shí)代、作者,及其所要暴露的社會(huì)矛盾和小說中所剖視扭曲的人性、悲劇性,性的描寫,人物性格的刻畫,語(yǔ)言的運(yùn)用,并對(duì)其形成的網(wǎng)狀結(jié)構(gòu)做出了大量的歸納和探究。《紅樓夢(mèng)》與《金瓶梅》之間有著10分明顯的繼承和發(fā)展的關(guān)系!都t樓夢(mèng)》是《金瓶梅》的1個(gè)重大的突破。引起了眾多的人對(duì)《紅樓夢(mèng)》的評(píng)論和研究的興趣,并形成了1種專門的學(xué)問——紅學(xué)!都t樓夢(mèng)》這部偉大的作品是屬于中國(guó)的,也是屬于世界的。《紅樓夢(mèng)》在國(guó)外有多種的譯本:英、法、日等10幾種語(yǔ)種的譯本。并且國(guó)內(nèi)外眾多的評(píng)論者對(duì)其版本、作者,以及其的社會(huì)悲劇,人生悲劇,愛情悲劇,人物性格,個(gè)性化的文學(xué)語(yǔ)言,寫實(shí)與詩(shī)化的融合,渾融1體的網(wǎng)狀結(jié)構(gòu)做出了大量的歸納和探究。然而,賈寶玉與西門慶作為是《紅樓夢(mèng)》和《金瓶梅》的兩位男主人公。國(guó)內(nèi)外的眾多評(píng)論者都對(duì)其2人的人物形象,語(yǔ)言風(fēng)格,現(xiàn)實(shí)原型,性格內(nèi)涵,性的體驗(yàn),個(gè)人悲劇等都做出了歸納和探究!都t樓夢(mèng)》作為是《金瓶梅》的1個(gè)延續(xù)、1個(gè)發(fā)展,它的男主人公賈寶玉與西門慶有著1定的聯(lián)系,對(duì)其2人的研究在今后應(yīng)趨向于2人的社會(huì)悲劇,人類悲劇,男人悲劇的詮釋及分析。
三、主要研究或設(shè)計(jì)內(nèi)容,需要解決的關(guān)鍵問題和思路:
(1)總論
沒有《金瓶梅》就寫不出《紅樓夢(mèng)》,從《紅樓夢(mèng)》與《金瓶梅》題材類似的角度引出中心論點(diǎn)。
(2)分論
全文分3個(gè)部分
第1部分:闡述西門慶的悲劇性
西門慶1個(gè)市井無(wú)賴、流氓、淫棍,1個(gè)精明的商人,靠著他對(duì)金錢的占有肆意的揮霍、放縱,以自我為中心來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)他的放縱,及其通過金錢獲得了強(qiáng)大的權(quán)利,隨意的鄙棄人間,在此背后所體現(xiàn)出的社會(huì)的黑暗、貪腐。構(gòu)成了其特有的社會(huì)悲劇、人類悲劇、男人的悲劇。 第2部分:闡述賈寶玉的悲劇性
賈寶玉1塊晶瑩剔透的寶玉1個(gè)顯耀的貴族,他的個(gè)性、他的自我、他對(duì)女孩子的尊崇迫使他與封建傳統(tǒng)相背道。他作為榮國(guó)府的唯1繼承人,他肩負(fù)著榮國(guó)府的全部希望。但是他自身的性格特點(diǎn),使他成為了“大逆不道的不肖子!
第3部分:論證傳統(tǒng)的價(jià)值觀、傳統(tǒng)的倫理觀與賈寶玉、西門慶的悲劇性
傳統(tǒng)的價(jià)值觀、傳統(tǒng)的倫理觀,在賈寶玉與西門慶的行為中被肆意的踐踏,新興的與傳統(tǒng)的極大的對(duì)立,但是封建的舊勢(shì)力是無(wú)比強(qiáng)大的,最終,賈寶玉是失敗的,西門慶是失敗的,形成1個(gè)永恒的悲劇。
四、完成畢業(yè)論文(設(shè)計(jì))所必須具備的工作條件及解決的方法:
1. 在圖書館查閱大量的文獻(xiàn)資料。
2. 利用百度上網(wǎng)搜索最新相關(guān)信息。
3. 在指導(dǎo)老師的幫助下最終完成畢業(yè)論文。

一. 選題國(guó)內(nèi)外研究的現(xiàn)狀
1. 國(guó)外主要研究現(xiàn)狀
國(guó)外對(duì)薩克雷的研究很多,內(nèi)容包羅萬(wàn)象。Iran Milligan從敘事的角度探討了薩克雷的寫作技巧、風(fēng)格。Samuel C. Chew & Richard D. Altick主要從薩克雷的生平來(lái)解讀其作品,為理解其中的社會(huì)背景和人物形象提供了比較客觀的依據(jù)。Harry Blamires在分析人物形象時(shí)認(rèn)為Becky Sharp是一個(gè)極有天分、工于心計(jì)的輕佻女子(a gifted calculating minx),靠智謀和色相謀得富有丈夫,并進(jìn)入上層社會(huì)放蕩、作惡。與之相反,Amelia Sedley 則溫柔、誠(chéng)摯、可愛(gentle, earnest and loving)。Carole Jones和Owen Knowles在Introduction說,作為一名精明的 “strategist”, Becky總是有先見之明,捷足先登,因?yàn)槠渌硕加掴g、蠢笨。Edgar F Harden 的Thackeray The Writer: From Journalism to Vanity Fair 是一部全面評(píng)論薩克雷的書。最后一個(gè)章節(jié)對(duì)《名利場(chǎng)》進(jìn)行了評(píng)述,Harden認(rèn)為薩克雷對(duì)Becky的態(tài)度是肯定的,并引用作品中的話進(jìn)行論證。
EBSCOhost數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)里共有116篇關(guān)于薩克雷的評(píng)論文章,其中五分之四與名利場(chǎng)有關(guān),大多探討了作品的語(yǔ)言風(fēng)格、寫作技巧、歷史掌故、主題、人物刻畫等等,對(duì)Becky 的評(píng)價(jià)褒貶不一。其中John Hagan的文章長(zhǎng)達(dá)28頁(yè),從四個(gè)方面說明了薩克雷對(duì) Becky寄予同情的緣由并予以反駁,分析了影響B(tài)ecky性格形成的因素和社會(huì)環(huán)境以及Becky反社會(huì)的成因。在薩克雷看來(lái),Becky is predominantly sympathetic。 Dee, Phyllis Susan從女性主義的角度通過對(duì) Amelia和 Maggie Tulliver的分析,探討了薩克雷的Vanity Fair 和艾略特The Mill on the Floss中的 female sexuality 和triangular Desir,并對(duì)之進(jìn)行描述、解讀,文章說:“這些小說中的女人雖然有時(shí)是男性欲望的被動(dòng)客體,但是她們抵制并修正自己作為客體的角色,擔(dān)任欲望主體的積極身份,并且設(shè)法掙脫男性主動(dòng)欲望的束縛”。 Lisa Jadwin的視角也較新,分析了《名利場(chǎng)》中的“表里不一”(duplicity or double- discourse),認(rèn)為薩克雷對(duì)此是默許的,duplicity is both socially sanctioned and commonplace。 Lisa以為,既然男人的 “unchastities”被看成是微不足道、可以原諒的,那么,女人的“l(fā)ies”同樣可以被看成是無(wú)關(guān)緊要、可以原諒的,即“ His (Man’s) license to ‘lie’with others is matched by her(woman’s) license to ‘lie’ about her motives, designs and ambitions.”
2. 國(guó)內(nèi)研究現(xiàn)狀
相對(duì)于國(guó)外,國(guó)內(nèi)對(duì)于薩克雷的研究極為有限。文學(xué)史和文學(xué)評(píng)論書籍的作者普遍認(rèn)為他是一個(gè)資產(chǎn)階級(jí)文人,甚至“勢(shì)利”、“躲躲閃閃”,但同時(shí)也肯定了薩克雷作為一個(gè)諷刺道德家在文學(xué)史上的地位,稱他以生動(dòng)形象的文筆客觀真實(shí)地再現(xiàn)了他所處的那個(gè)時(shí)代的虛偽、貪婪、金錢至上的浮華世界。在人物分析中,對(duì)Becky的評(píng)價(jià)多有貶義,說她“墮落”、“內(nèi)心世界骯臟”、“假正經(jīng)”、“人格扭曲”、“冷漠”、“一無(wú)所有”、“追名逐利醉了心”,“在資本主義社會(huì)靠姿色和詭計(jì)混世的女騙子”(朱虹,吳富恒,劉文榮,陳慧君,楊豈深),而Amelia則“溫柔”、“純潔”、“富有獻(xiàn)身精神”。
中國(guó)期刊網(wǎng)上共有6篇。這些文章分別從翻譯、語(yǔ)言學(xué)和敘事學(xué)的角度對(duì)《名利場(chǎng)》進(jìn)行分析。另外,《〈名利場(chǎng)〉中隱含作者的不連貫現(xiàn)象》(《外語(yǔ)研究》2003年第3期)從主觀不連貫性入手,探討了隱含作者的'不連貫現(xiàn)象,并用“第三力量”理論分析了該現(xiàn)象的成因。《夏潑與愛米利亞兩個(gè)女性形象比較》(《濟(jì)寧師專學(xué)報(bào)》2002年第5期)從女性主義視角揭示了夏潑與愛米利亞這兩個(gè)女性形象所反映出來(lái)的性別文化內(nèi)涵,在作者看來(lái),薩克雷眼中的Becky Sharp是“遭貶抑”的,而Amelia是“受贊美”的,但其解讀未免膚淺空洞,根本不足以服人。
二. 選題的意義、重點(diǎn)、難點(diǎn)及創(chuàng)新點(diǎn)
1. 意義
雖然國(guó)內(nèi)對(duì)薩克雷的研究由來(lái)已久,而且把他與狄更斯相提并論,對(duì)其作品的思想性和藝術(shù)性都予以高度評(píng)價(jià)。但評(píng)論中的意識(shí)形態(tài)色彩較濃,對(duì)文本的解讀比較主觀,大多認(rèn)為Becky 是薩克雷所深惡痛絕的人物,Amelia才是作者心中的“angle”。偶有從女性主義角度進(jìn)行分析的,也沒能深入挖掘作品的深刻內(nèi)涵,從而理解作者的真實(shí)意圖。事實(shí)上,Becky是一個(gè)深受作者喜愛欣賞的人物,Amelia也并非他心目中的angle,用薩克雷自己的話說 :“I like Becky in that book.. Sometimes I think I have myself some of her tastes.”至于Amelia,作者借Becky之口說:“You are no more fit to live in the world than a baby in arms.”對(duì)于Becky的肯定和對(duì)Amelia的否定在作品中都是較頻繁出現(xiàn)的。如,Becky和 Rawdon Crawley 新婚燕爾,Rawdon興高采烈,作者有一段議論:“The best of woman ( Ihave heard my grandmother say) are hypocrites …Why has not seen a woman hide the dullness of a stupid husband, or coax the fury of a savage one? We accept this amiable slavishness and praise a woman for it; we call this pretty treachery truth. A good housewife is of necessity a humbug”.薩克雷在作品中為什么多次發(fā)表類似的議論?為什么對(duì)“大逆不道”的Becky如此看重?為什么他的著重點(diǎn)在女性人物身上?他那個(gè)年代的女人是一種什么樣的生存狀態(tài)?本人以為從女性主義文學(xué)批評(píng)的角度,通過人物分析來(lái)探索《名利場(chǎng)》中的女性意識(shí)是有研究?jī)r(jià)值的。
2. 重點(diǎn)
薩克雷在《名利場(chǎng)》中自始至終對(duì)弱勢(shì)女性群體予以極大的關(guān)注和同情。對(duì)于叛逆者Becky,他的態(tài)度就總體而言是肯定、欣賞的,并在作品中有大量的描寫和議論。本文的重點(diǎn)即是探索薩克雷在刻畫Becky這一人物時(shí)所表現(xiàn)出的潛在女性意識(shí)。
3. 難點(diǎn)
薩克雷是一個(gè)冷峻的人,其寫作手法也別具一格,人稱諷刺、幽默小說家,濟(jì)sentimentalist, moralist, satirist于一身,擅長(zhǎng)用irony, sarcasm等手法,其描寫議論中既有直白,更有弦外之音,言外之意,時(shí)常帶有較濃的主觀色彩,寓意深刻,雖然有很多心理描寫,但往往點(diǎn)到為止。作品中復(fù)雜的,甚至表面看來(lái)自相矛盾的人物性格還要靠讀者自己去領(lǐng)會(huì)和把握。正如“幕啟前”中作者所說:“The little Becky Puppet has been pronounced to be uncommonly flexible in the joints, and lively on the wire; the Amelia Doll, though it has had a smaller circle of admirers, has yet been carved and dressed with the greatest care by the artist”。正如作者所言,Becky這一形象flexible, round, 因此,解讀《名利場(chǎng)》的文本意義,分析人物性格從而揭示出作者在作品中所表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的女性意識(shí)有一定的難度。另外,傳統(tǒng)的男性作家的作品對(duì)女性形象及作用多有忽視和歪曲,而薩克雷卻客觀地再現(xiàn)了他所處時(shí)代的浮華世界的真實(shí)畫面,并表明自己的態(tài)度,故用女權(quán)主義批評(píng)理論來(lái)解讀《名利場(chǎng)》更增加了論文的難度。
4. 創(chuàng)新點(diǎn)
國(guó)內(nèi)關(guān)于薩克雷作品的研究近作不是很多,對(duì)人物的評(píng)價(jià)、評(píng)論也少有新意。偶有從女性主義視角來(lái)分析的,卻過于膚淺,主觀,似乎沒有人關(guān)注過薩克雷眼中的Becky究竟是什么樣的。用女權(quán)主義批評(píng)理論通過分析人物形象來(lái)揭示薩克雷在作品中表現(xiàn)出的女性意識(shí)應(yīng)該是一個(gè)較新的評(píng)論方式。西蒙波伏娃的女權(quán)主義文學(xué)理論與《名利場(chǎng)》中表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的女性意識(shí)不謀而合。波伏娃的《第二性》突出表明了一種女性的辨證唯物主義觀點(diǎn),它說明婦女不是作為主體而是作為客體的生存狀況主要取決于他們生存的環(huán)境,尤其是她們所處的經(jīng)濟(jì)地位使然。女性能否解放自身,也主要取決于她們?cè)诮?jīng)濟(jì)上能否擺脫自己的依附地位。波伏娃說:“By making the woman into the Other, society deprives her of her humanity. As soon as woman are the Other, they cannot form identities that depend on their own conscious being as subjects to themselves”.在薩克雷看來(lái),如果說Amelia的悲哀在于她愛上了Osborne并完全依靠他的恩施,而他卻既不能負(fù)擔(dān)自己的命運(yùn),更不能負(fù)擔(dān)Amelia的命運(yùn),Becky的悲哀則在于她想超脫愛情,擺脫父權(quán)統(tǒng)治,靠自己的力量改變處境,卻又不得不依靠男性的尷尬境地。Becky之所以擺脫不了依附人格和邊緣身份,這是由于沒有經(jīng)濟(jì)地位所決定的,而依靠自己的力量提高經(jīng)濟(jì)地位,對(duì)于女人來(lái)說,在薩克雷那個(gè)年代的英國(guó)社會(huì)是無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)的。因此,Becky的悲哀不僅僅是她個(gè)人的,同時(shí)也是整個(gè)父權(quán)社會(huì)的悲哀。Becky的掙扎抗?fàn)庪m然遭到了社會(huì)的唾棄,卻引起了薩克雷極大的關(guān)注和深深的同情。
三. 論文的建構(gòu)(章節(jié)目錄)及簡(jiǎn)要說明
Outline of the thesis
On Thackeray’s Feminist Consciousness in Vanity Fair
1.Introduction
1.1 Thackeray’s life and his art
Thackeray was born in India. His father died when he was 4. Then he was sent back to England to be educated and didn’t see his mother for three years. At 30: no money, mad wife never recovered and surviving Thackeray for 30 years, many dependents, debilitating ailments. It’s not surprising that he died an early death, at 52.
I f Thackeray was inhibited and emotionally constipated, he had a great deal to be inhibited and constipated about, and if his works suffer from a want of passion it is probably because his own tragic circumstances and the conventions of his era necessarily pushed passion onto the sidelines.
His attitude toward women is to a large extent shaped by his experiences with them (hi mother, wife, his daughters and his female correspondents).
He is important not only as a great novelist but as a brilliant satirist(Columbia Encyclopedia).
1.2 Introduction of Vanity Fair
1.2.1 Main idea of Vanity Fair
1.2.2 The theme of Vanity Fair
Thakeray’s upper-middle-class Regency world is a noisy and jostling commercial fairground, predominantly driven by acquisitive greed and soulless materialism, in which the narrator himself plays a brilliantly versatile role as a serio-comic observer. Although subtitled “A novel without a hero”, Vanity Fair follows the fortunes of two inter-linked lives: through the retiring Amelia Sedley and the brilliant Becky Sharp, Thackeray examines the position of women in an intensely exploitative male world, and lovingly attacks a hypocritical society which advocates the Victorian Virtues of marriage and the family.
1.2.3 Literary reviews of critical articles on Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair is said to be a moralist novel. Though Thackeray’s first major work, it remains his best known and most frequently analyzed novel. And most of the articles followed one stereotype: the attack of the hypocritical society , the praise and approval of “tender, sweet, good-natured” Amelia Sedley—the “Victorian angel” and the disapproval of “calculating social-climber” or “adventuress” Becky Sharp.
1.2.4 The purpose of this thesis
It is to explore Thackeray’s feminist consciousness implied in the novel in the depiction of the heroine Becky Sharp. Thackeray’s attitude toward Becky is predominantly sympathetic or admiring.
2. Feminist literary Theories
Virginia Woolf: A Room of one’s Own
Simone De Beauvoir: The Second Sex
Elaine Showalter, Judith Fetterley, Helene Cixous
Beauvoir’s text declares that both French and Western Societies are patriarchal, that is, females are controlled by males. So, the female becomes the Other”, an object whose existence is defined and interpreted by the male, who is the dominant being in society……people are free to and must create their own existence, and thereby deconstruct the sexist notions of gender imposed on them by the society.
The task of feminist critics is to examine the female images in male writer’s literary works and uncover how they reflect and shape the attitudes that have restricted women.
Unlike other feminist critics who aim to reveal Thackeray’s negative attitude toward Becky in Vanity Fair , I’ll explore his feminist consciousness displaying in the depiction of this heroine.
3. Analysis of Thackeray’s Feminist Consciousness in Vanity Fair
3.1 Becky as maiden
The irresistible Becky Sharp enters adulthood by throwing John’s dictionary(with Miss Pinkerton’s signature in the flyleaf) out of the window, declaring a century before Mae West “I’m no angel!” Such artless (or heartless) simplicity is one of Becky’s strength. A strong-minded woman who threatens conventional Victorian notions of feminity in her rise from orphaned obscurity to considerable social status.
Much sympathy is gathered for Becky, in the first place, by virtue of the fact that, as an orphan and social outsider, she is offered such a meager selection of options by her society(as symbolized perhaps in the cast-off clothes she receives from Amelia). Upon leaving Miss Pinkerton’s, she quickly acquires a sense of what these options are: she can either marry well or consign herself to the position of governess, one of the few professions available to her.
As Amelia’s moral opposite, Becky is useful to Thackeray as a puppet-like creature who reflects in sharply-undisguised form the hypocritical pretense of Vanity Fair.
3.2 Becky as wife
Becky’s Marriage to Rawdon falls short of her anticipation by the carefully contrived withdrawal of Miss Crawley’s support.
Becky’s involvement with marriage-market is a particularly active and dynamic one. She commit herself to conquer the fashionable world and , by the exercise of her own portion of its wealth and opportunities. Thackeray’s view of a woman like Becky embodies a shrewd-and in many ways, very modern-sense of the social and economic options to all women of the time.
“I think I could be a good woman if I had five thousand a year”. Becky’s proposition that only the rich can afford to be moral involves the corollary that the simple moral life is impossible for anyone trying to gain a foothold in a society that crudely exploits all finer feelings for its own material ends; only the rich, who are protected by their wealth, can afford to be moral.
Thackeray is reported to have said in later life: “I like Becky in that book. Sometimes think I have myself some of her tastes”. Thackeray’s teasing confession paves the way for some interesting possibilities.
3.3 Becky as mistress
Lord Steyne’s relation to Becky is at least that of benefactor and sponsor in aristocratic society. Because of Marquis Steyne, Becky is deserted by her husband , becoming the laughing-stock of the fashionable society and has to go to the Continent. Mr. Fiche is sent to urge her to leave (Lord Steyne happens to be there), since she becomes a threat to the ordered corruption of his way of life.
But when lord Steyne died an worn out old man after a series of fits, an eloquent catalogue appeared in a weekly print, describing his virtues, his magnificence, his talents, his good actions…….This is the case with patriarchal society.
3.4 Becky as mother
Her life experience forbids her to be a good mother, and this is also against the conventional virtues of women
3.5 Becky as vagabond
Becky not only gets away with murder, but also profits from it.
