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(lái)越多的學(xué)者開(kāi)始從文學(xué)的角度研究一個(gè)國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)，政治和文化根源。悲劇是小說(shuō)創(chuàng)作的手法之一。西方早在古希臘時(shí)期就有了悲劇創(chuàng)作。悲劇不是簡(jiǎn)單的藝術(shù)形式或藝術(shù)技巧，而是對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)社會(huì)的特征的再現(xiàn)，它可以通過(guò)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(guó)著名作家托馬斯•哈代是維多利亞時(shí)期著名的小說(shuō)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(shuō)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(duì)人類(lèi)歷史邏輯矛盾深邃反思的社會(huì)悲劇。哈代的悲劇小說(shuō)《德伯家的苔絲》真實(shí)地反映了其當(dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)。小說(shuō)成功地塑造了女主人苔絲的形象，無(wú)情地揭露了資產(chǎn)階級(jí)社會(huì)虛偽的倫理道德。本文試從男主人公安琪兒•克萊爾的社會(huì)背景和人物心理兩個(gè)方面，探討導(dǎo)致其悲劇的成因。

Abstract
Literature is a mirror of real life which can reflect all aspects of people’s lives. More and more scholars have begun to study a country from the roots of economy, politics and culture. As early as ancient Greece, there were some creations of tragedy. Tragedy is a kind of literary creation, which is not a simple artistic form or technique but the repeat of real society. It can depict the piteous, sad, distressing and sentimental plots by describing some tortuous or complicated events. The British famous writer Thomas Hardy was one of the excellent novelists of the Victorian age. He delineated a lot of characters of tragedies, showing various persons’ enchantment. Besides providing the dignity of life tragedy to the readers, the novels contains the profound rationalism of the writer and Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’urbervilles reflected his real society. Hardy succeeded in portraying the image of heroine Tess and revealing the hypocritical ethics and morals of bourgeois society. This paper will d
