《蝇王》权力与腐败

《蝇王》权力与腐败人类社会无处不在权力的存在,而权力与腐败往往如影随形。
在威廉·戈尔丁(William Golding)的小说《蝇王》中,他以一群被困在荒岛上的少年作为舞台,展现了权力的诱惑与腐败的堕落。
本文将从权力的产生、权力的演变以及权力的腐败等方面进行论述。
一、权力的产生权力的产生常常与人们的需求和利益密切相关。
在《蝇王》中,一开始的无政府状态并未出现权力的分配和差异,但随着生存的需要和团队合作的重要性被凸显出来,权力的产生成为不可避免的话题。
拉尔夫(Ralph)作为团队的领导者,以其阳刚果断、头脑清晰的特点,自然而然地获得了其他孩子们的认同并成为了权力的代表。
二、权力的演变权力并非一成不变的,它会随着环境的变化和人们的心理状态而演变。
在《蝇王》中,权力逐渐从拉尔夫转移到了杰克(Jack)身上。
杰克具有较强的领导能力,他懂得利用恐惧和暴力来控制其他孩子,并建立起自己的势力范围——猎人部落。
这种权力的演变不仅仅是因为杰克的个人胜任能力,更因为孩子们对权力的追逐和授权。
三、权力的腐败权力的腐败是人性中的弱点所导致的,正如名言所说“权力导致腐败,绝对权力导致绝对腐败。
” 在《蝇王》中,权力的腐败在杰克身上表现得淋漓尽致。
他在权力的诱惑下逐渐沉溺于野蛮和暴力,从而迅速地蜕变为残暴而野蛮的恶魔。
同时,他还利用权力建立了私人军队,统治着其他无势力的孩子们,并丧失了对道德和文明的敬畏。
这种权力的腐败也逐渐蔓延到其他孩子的身上,导致岛上渐行渐远的文明秩序彻底崩坏。
四、权力的代价权力并非没有代价的,玩弄权力的人往往会为自己的行为付出代价。
在《蝇王》中,孩子们对权力的争夺最终导致了无序、混乱以及人性的扭曲。
整个故事中,权力争夺所引发的暴力和血腥事件无不昭示着权力带来的浩劫。
当孩子们最终意识到自己过度追逐权力所付出的代价时,他们已无法回到最初纯真的状态。
在《蝇王》中,权力与腐败巧妙地交织在一起,展示了人性的弱点和社会的残酷。

7. He stepped through the screen of grass on to the little open space that led to the narrow neck. 他穿过象屏幕似的野草,走到了通向狭长地 带的小空地上。 8. Piggy peered anxiously into the luminous veil that hung between him and the world:猪崽子不 安地向前看着,有一道发光的帷幕似乎在他 面前,把他和世界隔开。
William Golding (1911—1993) What man is, whatever man is under the eye of heaven, that I burn to know and that-I do not say this lightly-I would endure knowing. —William Golding
• Simon(西蒙) : enlightened, spiritual, prophet
Symbolism:
• Characters • conch-power • Ralph also found a conch(海螺) earlier and the boys view it as a symbol of authority. Whenever the conch is blown, the boys meet together and only the boy holding the conch may talk while all others must listen and wait for their turn when the conch is passed to them

1浅析戈尔丁的宗教观

浅析戈尔丁的宗教观【摘要】威廉.戈尔丁(William Golding)是英国著名小说家,在1983获得诺贝尔文学奖。
《蝇王》是他的第一本小说也是他的代表作。
本文从互文性的角度,在他所创作的所有作品中,探究《蝇王》与《圣经》以及当时的社会背景的关系,进而探讨作者戈尔丁的宗教观。
【关键词】戈尔丁《蝇王》宗教观互文性一、引言《蝇王》是诺贝尔文学奖获得者,英国著名小说家威廉.戈尔丁(william Golding)的代表作之一。
它一经出版,即获得的极大的成功。
有一部分批评家从基督教义的角度推论,《蝇王》是一部宣扬原罪观的小说。
原因在于,不同于传统的荒岛文学,《蝇王》重点描述了人性中残忍与野蛮的一面,全书充满了悲观主义的色彩而书中某些人物的特点甚至某些情节都与《圣经》有所关联,并且书中宣扬的人性本恶也是来源于基督教中的原罪论,有的学者甚至认为“戈尔丁的深刻思想充分说明了他崇尚‘原罪论’的宗教观。
”(尹迪,2012)。
但是如果单从这一点上来说明戈尔丁具有典型的基督教宗教观是片面的。
本文尝试从互文性的角度对《蝇王》的部分情节和人物进行剖析,对戈尔丁的宗教观进行一个全面的解读,发现戈尔丁对基督教是持有保留甚至是怀疑态度的。
二、互文性理论互文性理论的萌芽产生与俄国巴赫金的对话理论,简单来讲,一个文本不是独立存在的,它始终是与其他文本进行交互,相互影响所形成的,在互文性中,文本超越了它固有的局限,向更广阔的文化领域延伸。
(转引自:秦海鹰,2004)由于文本是对历史的一种反应,而如克里斯蒂娃说,“从互文性的角度研究文本,需要将文本与社会和历史文本放在一起思考。
”(Kristeva Julia,1984)而历史也是有文本所堆砌而成,因此分析作品所处的社会、文化背景其实也是一种文本的解读。
本文也会对作者当时所处的历史和社会环境进行分析,阐释社会、文化中层面上的互文性。
三、社会与文本的互文性(一)《蝇王》与《圣经》的互文性《蝇王》这本小说的题目就是取自于《圣经》中的别西卜(Beelzebuh),最早指腓力斯人所崇拜的巴力神,由于发音在希伯来文中和“蝇王”一致,基督教徒将巴力神称为“蝇王”,逐渐成了《圣经》中“撒旦”的另外一个指称。

Plots:
8. Simon found the dead parachutist, a pilot, who had been mistaken for the beast. Simon attempted to alert Jack‘s tribe that the “beast” was nothing more than a cadaver but was regarded as the beast by mistake during their tribal pig dance and Jack's tribe beat him to death.
Plots:
7. Jack and the hunters slay their first pig, they offer promises of meat, fun, and protection from the beast. Jack's tribe gradually becomes more animalistic, applying face-paint to liberate their inner savages while they hunt. At the same time, some boys from Ralph’s tribe went to Jack’s tribe.
Main characters:
•Simon Simon was a character who represents peace and tranquility and positivity. He loved the nature of the island and was positive about the future. Simon was killed by Jack’s people for they mistook him for the beast and kill him in their “dance”. His death represented the loss of truth and common sense.
WilliamGolding戈尔丁简介

William Golding戈尔丁简介1911- 长篇小说:Lord of the Flies蝇王;The Inheritors继承人;Pincher Martin平却·马丁;The Spire塔尖;The Pyramid金字塔in full Sir William Gerald Goldingborn Sept. 19, 1911, St. Columb Minor, near Newquay, Cornwall, Eng.died June 19, 1993, Perranarworthal, near Falmouth, CornwallWilliam Golding.English novelist who in 1983 won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his parables of the human condition. He attracted a cult of followers, especially among the youth of the post-World War II generation.Educated at Marlborough Grammar School, where his father taught, and at Brasenose College, Oxford, Golding graduated in 1935. After working in a settlement house and in small theatre companies, he became a schoolmaster at Bishop Wordsworth's School, Salisbury. He joined the Royal Navy in 1940, took part in the action that saw the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck,and commanded a rocket-launching craft during the invasion of France in 1944. After the war he resumed teaching at Bishop Wordsworth's until 1961.Golding's first published novel was Lord of the Flies (1954; film 1963 and 1990), the story of a group of schoolboys isolated on a coral island who revert to savagery. Its imaginative and brutal depiction of the rapid and inevitable dissolution of social mores aroused widespread interest. The Inheritors(1955), set in the last days of Neanderthal man, is anotherstory of the essential violence and depravity of human nature. The guilt-filled reflections of a naval officer, his ship torpedoed, who faces an agonizing death are the subject of Pincher Martin (1956). Two other novels, Free Fall(1959) and The Spire(1964), also demonstrate Golding's belief that “man produces evil as a bee produces honey.” Darkness Visible(1979) tells the story of a boy horribly burned in the London blitz during World War II. His later works include Rites of Passage(1980), which won the Booker McConnell Prize, and its sequels, Close Quarters (1987) and Fire Down Below (1989). Golding was knighted in 1988.Early lifeWilliam Golding was born in his grandmother's house, 47 Mountwise, St Columb Minor, Cornwall and he spent many childhood holidays there. He grew up at his family home in Marlborough, Wiltshire, where his father (Alec Golding) was a science master at Marlborough Grammar School (1905 to retirement). Alec Golding was a socialist with a strong commitment to scientific rationalism, and the young Golding and his elder brother Joseph attended the school where his father taught. His mother, Mildred, kept house at 29, The Green, Marlborough, and supported the moderate campaigners for female suffrage. In 1930 Golding went to Oxford University as an undergraduate at Brasenose College, where he read Natural Sciences for two years before transferring to English Literature.Golding's biographer John Carey claimed in 2009 that Golding admits in a diary to attempted rape while he was an undergraduate。

One thing interesting to note about these is their settings. The stories are set usually in a place far from “the old world”: either on a wild island (like Lord of the Flies [1954]), or on a rock in the Atlantic (as in Pincher Martin [1956]), or in a primitive world (as is The Inheritors [1955]), or a medieval town (as is The Spire [1964]).

Golding is a very genuinely serious writer because he held a very strong pessimistic view towards human nature. He thinks that modern civilization, the institutions and order are fragile and temporary, and that man’s irrationality and innate evil are strong and enduring.
