【摘要】：《奇异的插曲》是著名美国戏剧家尤金·奥尼尔的重要悲剧之一。该剧以美国物欲膨胀的二十世纪二十年代为背景,以关注和思考现代人生活和生存境况为主题描写叙述了主人公尼娜的悲剧人生。二十世纪二十年代的美国社会已经步入高速现代化发展,物质至上、强势话语等新的价值标准已经形成,而旧的不合适宜乃至阻碍发展的清教主义道德观仍然禁锢束缚着人们,历史遗留下的男权思想不仅没有消除,相反在一切追求快、大、多的时代却又得到了加剧。此时的人们遭受着双重的精神困惑：传统道德标准对精神的压抑和禁锢,现代物质主义对精神的挫败和忽略。当传统道德遭遇现代价值、当人的理想碰撞冰冷的现实,人就必然困惑、失意,悲剧自成必然。尼娜的悲剧不能简单地归因于美国传统清教主义和男权思想的束缚和压抑,其根本的、最主要的原因应该是现代化文明所带来的现代性问题。论文以现代性为切入点,重新解读奥尼尔《奇异的插曲》中尼娜的悲剧。现代性既是人类文明发展的结果,同时又是理解和思考现代问题的关键。现代性自西方文艺复兴启始至今,一方面给人类带来极大的物质财富和生活便利；另一方面因其过于物质主义而忽略了人的精神和灵魂,与传统价值标准发生着冲突和矛盾。尼娜对于自身处境的不满和对理想生活的向往促使尼娜勇敢地反抗传统价值；她放弃了对上帝父亲的信仰,开始寻找一位理想中仁慈的上帝母亲；尼娜渴望获得独立、信仰、爱情并实现人生价值,然而在物欲膨胀的现实社会里,她只能孤独、迷惘、失意,找不到归属和信仰,迷失了自我。尼娜的悲剧折射出了现代社会发展过程中现代价值标准与传统文化思想不可避免的悲剧性冲突。任何一个作家或作品都不可能摆脱社会发展的历史轨迹,作为严肃剧作家的奥尼儿及其悲剧创作更是如此。现代性为本论文的研究提供了一条比较清晰的思想脉络,我们能够更加准确地理解奥尼尔对社会现实的关注和对现代人精神危机的忧虑,同时也促使我们对当下社会问题以及我们自身精神价值追求进行思考和判断。
[Abstract]:Strange episode is one of the great tragedies of famous American dramatist Eugene O'Neill. Against the backdrop of the inflated American material desire in the 1920s, the play describes the tragic life of the protagonist, Nina, on the theme of paying attention to and thinking about the living and living conditions of modern people. In the 1920s, American society had stepped into the rapid development of modernization, material supremacy, strong discourse and other new value standards had been formed, and the old Puritanism morality, which was not suitable or even hindered the development of the United States, still shackled people. The patriarchal thought left by history has not been eliminated, on the contrary, it has been intensified in all the times of pursuing fast, big and many times. At this time, people suffer from double spiritual puzzlement: the traditional moral standards suppress and imprison the spirit, and modern materialism frustrate and ignore the spirit. When traditional morality meets modern value, when human ideal collides with cold reality, man is bound to be confused, frustrated, and tragedy becomes inevitable. The tragedy of Nina cannot be simply attributed to the bondage and repression of American traditional Puritanism and patriarchal thought. The fundamental and main reason should be the modernity problem brought by modern civilization. Reinterpret the tragedy of Nina in O'Neill 's strange episode. Modernity is not only the result of the development of human civilization, but also the key to understanding and thinking about modern problems. Since the beginning of the Western Renaissance modernity has brought great material wealth and convenience to human life on the one hand and neglected the spirit and soul of human beings on the other because it is too materialistic and conflicted with the traditional value standard. Nina's dissatisfaction with her situation and her yearning for an ideal life prompted Nina to stand up to traditional values; she gave up her faith in God's father and began looking for a loving mother of God in her ideal; Nina longed for independence and faith. Love and realize the value of life, but in the real society of material expansion, she can only be lonely, lost, frustrated, unable to find their own and faith, lost themselves. The tragedy of Nina reflects the tragic conflict between the modern value standard and the traditional cultural thought in the course of the development of modern society. No writer or work can get rid of the historical track of social development. As a serious playwright, Ornie and his tragic creation are even more so. Modernity provides a clear thread of thought for the study of this thesis. We can understand O'Neill 's concern for social reality and modern spiritual crisis more accurately. At the same time, it also urges us to think and judge the current social problems and the pursuit of our own spiritual value.
