主要人物的悲剧性

一菲茨杰拉德的悲剧人生观始终影响着他的创作,《夜色温柔》无疑是这种影响的最具代表性的产物。
众多评论家普遍认为,菲茨杰拉德的悲剧人生观可以说是出自他本能的悲剧感。
在他致友人的书信中,他将其总结为“一种存在于一切伟大事业之中的东西,就象莎士比亚与亚伯拉罕·林肯一样。
这种东西可以一直追溯到刚开始出现书本的时候———这种人生观最基本的就是认为人生不过是一场骗局,其唯一的结局就是失败,而让获得补偿的东西不是幸福和快乐,而是更深沉的,来自继续奋斗的满足。
”[1]可以说,《夜色温柔》充分验证了菲茨杰拉德这种人生体认。
恩格斯说过,“历史不过是追求着自己目的的人的活动而已。
”[2]所以,人类的悲剧性历史就是通过无数个体的悲具性活动来构成的,而促成这种活动的动机便是对自我的超越。
从悲剧的美学角度来看,自我保存和自我超越的欲望是人的本性,对于自身现状的不满足,就会导致个体冲破自身的现实条件去追求更高的生活目的。
超越而不得便会造成悲剧。
个体在超越的过程中,必然会与周围的一切发生矛盾或冲突,一旦冲突达到了一定程度,就会造成悲剧性的结局。
[3]借着与尼柯尔·沃伦结婚的契机,迪克·戴弗的自我超越从表面上看已然与爱情相结合。
一方面,他为尼柯尔的美貌与不幸遭遇所倾倒,对她产生了爱情;另一方面,他无法抗拒沃伦家族能够提供给他的他内心向往的地位和财富。
借其家族提供一切条件成就他的事业的愿望也同时促成他接受了这个富人世界并充满自信地步入其中,将自己对于爱情和事业结合在一起的理想当作赌注押在与尼柯尔的婚姻上,实质上仅仅成为为他人服务的工具,他在爱情与财富的关系中模糊了清醒的意识,在实现理想的过程中沦为迷途的羔羊。
《了不起的盖茨比》中的盖茨比意图得到财富以实现自我,迪克却在财富中逐渐失去自我。
在温柔富贵的表层下,“一种质的变化”[4]在发生着,随着尼柯尔病情的逐渐好转,迪克被沃伦家族继续利用的价值已不复存在,尼柯尔自我意识的恢复也使得他被抛弃的隐患逐渐显露端倪。

【摘要】美国作家菲茨杰拉尔德的《夜色温柔》自出版以来,一度被评论界冷落,被认为并不是作者的代表作品。
原因在于当时的评论界把这部作品只看作是作者的一个自传。
但对《夜色温柔》的文本作深层分析后,不难看出这部小说的创作受到了弗洛伊德和荣格的精神分析学的巨大影响。
因此这部小说不应该从作者个人经历或是从社会意义的角度进行剖析,必须从人物的心理入手。
依据荣格的“情结理论”和“人格面具理论”,对小说男主人公狄克的心理进行了细致的分析,从而表明《夜色温柔》这部作品具有高度的心理学价值,是对二十年代美国人灵魂深处的刻画,昭示了现代西方人深刻的精神危机。

女性化的“他”——从双性同体论看《夜色温柔》中的迪克

女性化的“他”——从双性同体论看《夜色温柔》中的迪克陈滢宇【摘要】作为菲茨杰拉德最重要的后期作品,《夜色温柔》是“喧嚣的20年代”的典型代表作,小说主人公迪克是个有着明显女性特质的男子.通过分析其女性化倾向为突破口,并对其日常行为及之后的堕落做出解释.【期刊名称】《贵阳学院学报(社会科学版)》【年(卷),期】2013(008)001【总页数】3页(P85-87)【关键词】菲茨杰拉德;迪克;双性同体【作者】陈滢宇【作者单位】四川大学外国语学院,四川610065【正文语种】中文【中图分类】I1作为“喧嚣的20年代”代言人,菲茨杰拉德本人作为公众人物却也融入属于这个时代的浮华。
从他小说中的人物我们往往可以看到他自己的影子,同时也可以略知他对这个时代的理解。
虽属“迷惘的一代”,菲茨杰拉德对生命价值的追逐从未停止。
就像《夜色温柔》中的迪克·戴弗,他也在一片混杂中迷惘。
“他(菲茨杰拉德)说他发现自己小说的主人公只能是他本人,他除了自己以外写不出其他主人公。
”[2]41所以由于迪克表现出如此多的女性化特征,我们可以推测菲茨杰拉德本人身上也可能具有这种矛盾。
迪克,这个《夜色温柔》真正的主角,本身性格是很复杂的。
他有“女性的思维驻在男性的身体”,或者叫做双性同体,这不能被称作“堕落”。
因为弗洛伊德认为这与普通人没有很多显著的差别,而且他的工作及生活能力总体上不会表现出很明显的减弱,因此他周围的人很难注意到他的女性化特质。
再看迪克双性同体化的表现,我们可以瞥见作者的创作意图及迪克堕落之源。
小说中,也正是迪克女性化的一面使他吸引到两位女主角罗斯玛丽和尼科尔。
罗斯玛丽对迪克说:“你喜欢帮助所有的人,对不对?”[1]83妈妈就喜欢帮助每一个人”[1]84。
她觉得迪克有母性气质。
尼科尔在她给迪克的信中更直接地写道:“不过,你似乎比别人安静得多,温和得像只大猫。
我喜欢那些有点女孩子气的小伙子。
你有这样的脾气吗?有时候是有点。

This paper studied the formation reasons of the protagonist in this book Dick Diver's dual personality and the necessity of his tragic fate. This thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter introduces the embodiment of Dick’s dual personality. He is struggling in his Apollonian spirit and Dionysian spirit. The second chapter discusses the cause of his dual personality. The anomalies of social climate and contradictions in his own character are to blame such dual personality. The third chapter analyzes the results that dual personality leads to. The absolute contradiction in his character inevitably leads to a series of tragedy.

Rarely does any other writer in American literary history possess so many titles such as the spokesman and laureate of the Jazz Age, one of the typical representatives of the Lost Generation, a popular or serious social writer, and so forth. Because of the divergent critical assertions on Fitzgerald, his works, especially TITN(Hereafter, Tender Is the Night is abbreviated as TITN) still undergo a complicated journey of acceptance in critical world.At its first publication in 1934, TITN was confronted with many unfavorable criticisms, which made Fitzgerald headed into obscurity. For the new structure of the novel, many critics reckoned that it was confusing and that the real reason for the hero's degeneration was notaccounted clearly.Since 1960s, the social and historical significance and artistic values of TITN have been re-evaluated. And more than 1000 critical articles and over 10 books on TITN have been published. At the very beginning of 21th century, Chinese academia has made enormous progress in the study of Fitzgerald.All criticisms from home and abroad have built a foundation for an eventual acceptance of TITN as a lasting, brilliant work which intensified Fitzgerald's literary reputation and position. However, through close reading both of the novel and its literature review, the author of this thesis finds that the review of TITN mainly focuses on the analysis of its disillusioned theme, or peculiar structure system but rarely refers to the connection between Dick’s dual personality and his tragic fate. Besides, there are still prejudiced and controversial opinions on Fitzgerald and TITN.Last but not least, the accumulation of studies on Fitzgerald and TITN has already reached a state that the research should be furthered as time develops by discovering new angle of exploration and new method of analysis. The tragic aesthetic sense of TITN and the duality of Apollonian and Dionysian spirits of Nietzsche's theory on tragedy are respectively such a rarely trodden field and a new approach that few former scholars have worked upon.In TITN, the tragic figure Dick epitomizes the author's own tragic experiences of life and self-contradictory dual personality with his inner conflicts. From point, this thesis, based upon the previous scholar's research about the tragedy of TITN aims at further analyzing the tragic consciousness of Fitzgerald and the contradictory dual personality of the protagonist Dick as a tragic figure by employing Apollonian and Dionysian spirits of Nietzsche's early theory on tragedy.This thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter introduces the embodiment of Dick’s dual personality. He is struggling in his Apollonian spirit and Dionysian spirit. The second chapter discusses the cause of his dual personality. The anomalies of social climate and contradictions in his own character are to blame such dual personality. The third chapter analyzes the results that dual personality leads to. The absolute contradiction in his character inevitably leads to a series of tragedy.Chapter 1Embodiment of the dual personality1.1 Apollonian spiritIn this chapter, the author of the thesis mainly anatomizes the Apollonian spirit that is reflected by Dick. Dick is much similar to handsome Apollo possessing various attributes which are much akin to those of Apollo, such as confidence, rationality, soberness, repose, ideal, and so forth.Apollo who is the symbol of all the beautiful illusion or appearance, is very handsome and gentle. Franz praises him that: "You are attractive to women, Dick" (TITN 153). In the novel, women especially Nicole and Rosemary are attracted by Dick's Apollonian figure at first sight.Dick's mature attractiveness as Apollo is mostly exhibited to readers by Rosemary in the first section of the novel. Rosemary believes that Dick is the most wonderful person she has ever met. She admires and adores him: "His step was alert as if he had just come from some great doings and was hurrying on toward others. Organizer of private gaiety, curator of a richly encrusted happiness. His hat was a perfect hat and he carried a heavy stick and yellow gloves" (TITN 87)According to Nietzsche, "Apollo is the most sublime expression of the repose of man wrapped in his individuality一sublime in that, by his very distance, by the way in which he exceeds earth-faring men, he draws them up into their repose" (The Birth of Tragedy 33).In a word, the external qualities and manners of Dick bear a striking likeness to that of Apollo. Possessing some enchantment of Apollonian nature, Dick has a chance to temporarily climb to upper class as a popular socialite.1.2 Dionysian spiritIn TITN , Dick at first leaves an impression of Apollonian temperament as a self-confident and promising doctor on the people who spend their summer holiday on the beach of French Riviera. However, underneath his shinning fantasy, which appeals to people's admiration, the irrational, chaotic and frenzied Dionysian spirit is unconsciously arising in him. As Zhu Guangqian puts it: "It is indeed very difficult to imagine a person with a purer `Apollonian spirit' and a greater dissociation with the `Dionysian spirit"' (The Psychology of Tragedy 12), Dick also has specialties of Dionysus.Thus, it reminds us of the phenomenon that pain begets joy, that jubilation may wring sounds of agony Dick, who is inwardly on the verge of breakdown whileoutwardly keeping good, slowly shows his Dionysia characteristics with his consequential self-indulgence in the extramarital love with Rosemary and his excessive drinking as well as his violent behaviors.Chapter 2Cause of the dual personality2.1 Dick’s contradictory charactersDick is a bounded, full of hope for the future, family and love, a promising young psychiatrists. Since he met Nicole, he showed his uncommon kindness and extremely optimistic attitude toward life. For a long time, Dick has been trying to assume the dual responsibility of the husband and doctor. And he was suffering from high society, Warren family and his wife who is a seriously mental patient. Under the pressure, he still shows the elegant demeanor. Because Nicole herself is an upper-class victims of materialistic expansion, moral decay. She was insanitied by her biological father, this story inspired Dick strong compassion. He once had dreams completing his great medicine book.But this is just Dick’s ideal kingdom. He eventually returned to his ontology. In the sixth year after marriage, young and close of rosemary with bold and directness, bud intelligence sinus into his "quiet place". She obsessed with Dick and unreservedly to express the emotion. After all sorts of struggle, he got divorced with Nicole abandoning all elaboration in past decade. And quietly went back to the remote town in the western United States with the end of the business decline gradually. Ten years he experienced hope, depression, guilt, anger, disappointment, such as multiple emotional change. These feelings of internal cause and external cause made him struggling, aggregation, splitting. And eventually made Dick a man with extremely complexed contradiction, complexed emotions.2.2 Social environmentIn addition to Dick's own personality, social factor is also to blame. In his era, there are only parties, dance and drink. The Jazz Age will be shrouded in a tender and soft in the dim light of night without any bright future. This is an era full of contradictions, boom and unrest, peace and riots, the postwar new ideas and traditional values. The rapid development of economy, science and technology stimulates the brain of the people. Everyone has its own "American dream" in their heart. In TITN , Dick married life romantic and luxurious, frequented cocktail parties, travelling to Europe. But Jazz Age of prosperity and peace is the illusion of a table only. Experienced the devastation of the First War, the traditional moral ideas are collapsed, people expect a lasting peace. Hedonism became a kind of fashion, they binge at the cocktail party seeking stimulation. Disillusionment of "American dream" made people feel the unprecedented unrest in the empty and insensitive.Dick wanted to a great doctor, the temptation of time made him indulged in material world. He wanted to keep the economic independence and personality dignity, but he eventually gave up to money.People in Jazz Age destined to the collapse of the spirit of tragedy fate. The Jazz Age is the age when people live a life without soul. And a soul like Dick’s soul could not escape traps and finally come to the collapse of spirit. Dick's tragedy is not only his own tragedy, but also the tragedy of The Times.Chapter 3Results of the dual personality3.1 Self-indulgenceAt the beginning of the novel, Dick is viewed from the eyes of Rosemary Hoyt. Dick, seriously exhausted by the patronage, is immediately and unavoidably attracted by Rosemary's youthful vigor and enthusiasm, which he used to own and now has lost for a long time.According to the explanation of Zhu Guangqian who will give full rein to his primitive instincts, and abandons himself with his fellow-revelers to riotous orgies of sexual licenses. Dick slowly starts to get on the way of self-indulgence as Rosemary incessantly seduces him with her power of beauty and enthusiastic passion. Dick eventually abandons all moral restricts and disciplines and as well as forgets her youth. He kisses her breathlessly, and "Lovers now they fell ravenously on the quick seconds" (TITN 85). Now, Dick "was out of line with everything that had preceded it [...] and behaving as he did was a projection of some submerged reality: he was compelled to walk here, or stand here" (TITN 105). This submerged reality is virtually Dionysian spirit, simulating and driving Dick to addict to self-indulgence, which marks a turning point in his life.Dick gives up his sober and self-restrained nature and acts as a self-indulgent person. "He was in love with every pretty woman he saw now, their forms at a distance, their shadows on a wall" (TITN 176). He doesn't hesitate a moment but resumes affair with Rosemary at once. "She wanted be taken and she was, and what had begun with a childish infatuation on a beach was accomplished at last" (TITN 248).From the self-indulgence in extremarital love with Rosemary, Dick plunges into stronger sense of desperation, slump and loss. As a result, he addicts himself to excessive alcohol for the sake of searching for another way of salvation.3.2 Self-destructionDick’s self-destructin is revealed on his drunkness.The first time we meet Dick, he is "going from umbrella to umbrella carrying a bottle and little glasses in his hands" (TITN 11).From that point on, there is alcohol involved in almost every scene. In the beginning, he has taken to drink a little because the alcohol perhaps would bring Rosemary "closer to him, [it may] be a part of the equipment for what she had do" (TITN 70). Later, he gradually continues to develop a narcotic alcoholism.Matthew J. Bruccoli analyzes that: The holiday in Rome shows a break up of a fine personality Unlike "The Beautiful and the Damned the break-up will be caused not by flabbiness but really tragic forces such as the inner conflicts of the idealists and the compromises forced upon him by circumstances. (Some Sort of Epic Gander 332) After being drunk, Dick often offend someone. Nicole is furious at Dick for having become fuddled and humiliated. She believes that "his awful faculty of being right seemed to have deserted him at last" has gone bankruptcy TITN 275). Consequently, Dick's promising career because of the betrayal of the cooperator who `never after believed that Dick was a serious person" (TITN 280).On all accounts, Dick's wild, reckless actions represented by his self-indulgence and self-destruction. However, his final tramping from one small town to another is not the indication of his full degeneration. It demonstrates that Dick has realized the cruelreality and the dark side of life. In the end, Dick in fact has eventually transformed himself from a priest to a tragic hero by tramping among small and obscure villages, which implies the final formation of his tragic outlook on life.ConclusionThis paper studied the protagonist Dick's dual personality formation reasons and the necessity of his tragic fate. And there is an inseparable connection between these. The cause of his contradictory character is the indirect factors which leads to his tragedy fate. Distortion of Dick's personality and social climate make the end of tragic fate doomed. Although the author ends the Dick's life in the form of self-destruction. There are still many worthy of praise among Dick. The positive image in his contradictory character is an envy of most people highly. He could have overcome all troubles he met with his Apollonian spirit. This warning: even the world gives all sorts of reason to make us fall, we still can choose to be strong.BibliographyAndrew, Turnbull. The Letters of F.

浅析夜色温柔迪克的希腊神话原型
纵观有关《夜色温柔》的研究文献,国内外学者虽然都表达了自己的观点,也对观点进行了细致地分析和陈述,但是通过中国知网的查询得知,目前还没有将《夜色温柔》中的主要人物迪克,与希腊神话中日神阿波罗、酒神狄奥尼修斯结合研究的文献。
在贾文浩,贾文渊(2001)翻译的《夜色温柔》中,认为,《夜色温柔》这部源自于美国二十世纪的经典文学作品,无人不知当时美国最为有才华和杰出的作家菲茨杰拉德。
《夜色温柔》是菲茨杰拉德的代表作品之一,也是最为经典的作品。
菲茨杰拉德在作品中描述了一个出身低微、身份普通,却有着出众才华、远大志向的迪克。
小说的时间设定在1917到1930年之间,发生在欧洲大陆的一个“悲剧爱情、自我放逐”的故事,菲茨杰拉德在小说中融合了自身的亲身经历,将美国的爵士时代社会的浮华与衰败充分地展现出来。
在毛佳的“《夜色温柔》主人公迪克新解读——一个在美国梦中觉醒的存在主义英雄”中提到,迪克对罗斯玛丽感情的变化却出现在当她的追求者科利斯向迪克讲述她与他的朋友希利斯同在一个卧铺包厢反锁上门并且还拉上窗帘并同乘务员发生误会争吵的事。
尽管科利斯说他们其实没做什么错事,但“迪克想象出其中的每一个细节,对包厢里的那一对不幸的男女感到了嫉妒,他觉得自己的思想感情在发生变化。
这种嫉妒成为迪克心中挥之不去的阴影,成为他感情出轨的导火索。
他由被动转为主动,开始接受并且陷入了与罗斯玛丽情感的漩涡。
许涵在“对《夜色温柔》的新解读”中认为,在迪克的爱情中不难看出,迪克对爱情的追求和对爱情的向往,与日神阿波罗与达芙妮的爱情故事有相似之处。
迪克的外表和行为在很大程度上都展现出日神阿波罗的特质和气质,在阿波罗的眼中,达芙妮虽然没能成为他的妻子,但是阿波罗的真心永远不会改变,这份真心中夹杂着一丝私心、一丝真诚,最终阿波罗赐达芙妮永远年轻不会衰老,最终,达芙妮象征黎明,阿波罗追逐达芙妮正如太阳追逐着黎明,和对爱亘古不变的追逐被后人传为佳话。
张泉在“《夜色温柔》的互文性解读”中认为,《夜色温柔》特殊的创作过程造成了其阐释的复杂性和多义性,尤其是对主人公迪克的塑造成为学者争论的焦点之一。
迪克的故事曲折、坎坷,但是从迪克的身上能看出许多闪光和与希腊
人物之中相似之处。
虽然,迪克在外表和行为上的光鲜亮丽、魅力十足,但是在受到了上流社会的诱惑后,迪克的内心波动却与酒神有着十分相似之处,狄奥尼修斯是唯一凡人血统的酒神,是宙斯与一位凡间女子塞默勒的儿子,狄奥尼修斯有双重性格,既能带给人类欢乐和迷醉,同时又残忍、易怒—像酒一样。
这一点与迪克的自我放逐、放纵不羁很相似。
迪克爱上并娶了一个与父亲乱伦而患上精神病的女子为妻,在一般人看来,这是疯狂的不理智的行为,而且也是一件不名誉的事情,但迪克・戴弗就是这样一个人,自我放纵,不顾他人的目光。
