摘要:《道连·格雷的画像》是奥斯卡·王尔德的唯一一部小说。围绕着这位维多利亚时代著名作家的讨论从他生前开始,至死他后的今天,从未停止。而这部一经出版便激起千层浪小说,可谓他极具争议的传奇一生的开端。这部写于1891年的小说中主要人物的命运,在冥冥中却仿佛预言了他自己之后的一生。小说中亨利勋爵与他一样妙语珠玑,画家贝泽尔像他一样真诚善良,主角道连格雷身上又承载着他不能实践的梦。从声名鹊起到名声狼藉,从惊世奇才到阶下之囚,冷眼而对世人的评判,热烈追求放纵的生活。
这部小说中,三位主角的矛盾就仿佛他自己的矛盾。本文将从分析三位主角的道德观入手,并从王尔德个人的生活中寻找角色的印记,从而证明三个角色正是作者利用艺术手法塑造的,代表自己对道德的不同理解的三个侧面。本文力求通过对小说的分析,还原一个真实的王尔德,以及他心中真正的道德观。
