【摘要】：玛丽·雪莱（1797-1851）与赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯（1866-1946）尽管是相隔一个世纪的英国作家，，却在他们的巨作《弗兰肯斯坦》和《摩罗博士的岛》中似乎心神相通。两位作家均采用“疯狂科学家”的科幻主题，探讨科学家妄图造人，肆意干预自然法则产生的后果。两部作品中，疯狂科学家维克多·弗兰肯斯坦和摩罗博士僭越上帝成为造物者，违背自然规律，也践踏了人类社会的伦理道德。结局自然是被他们创造的怪物或兽人毁灭。除惊人一致的主题之外，两部小说对疯狂科学家的形象塑造和生育主题的表现也十分相似。《弗兰肯斯坦》是雪莱创造的经典哥特小说，而《摩罗博士的岛》是威尔斯科学传奇的代表。本文将以文本细读为基础，同时挖掘两部作品的意义。当下，科学技术以史无前例的速度迅猛发展，但是，技术手段的滥用、误用仍然存在。本文的讨论将展现雪莱与威尔斯末世预言般的构思，以作警示与反思。论文共分为五个部分。引言概述小说及作者创作背景，评述已有的相关研究成果，引入本文的研究内容。论文主体共三部分解析“疯狂科学家”主题。第一章探讨作品中两位疯狂科学家与自然、伦理和宗教三方面的关系，挖掘《弗兰肯斯坦》和《摩罗博士的岛》本质的相似意义。第二章评析雪莱和威尔斯娴熟的艺术手法，尤其象征与隐喻，发掘鲜明科幻形象的塑造成因。第三章以前面的阐释为基础，联系时代、文学和作家经历等因素，揭开疯狂科学家的生育神话诞生起源，以及对科幻小说重大的文学价值和现实意义。最后一章得出结论，《弗兰肯斯坦》和《摩罗博士的岛》的主题研究为解读两部作品提供更广阔的空间。在当今时代背景下，两部作品依然对科学、生态、人性和道德具有深远影响。由此，玛丽·雪莱与威尔斯借助两位疯狂的科学家最终实现了“对话”。
[Abstract]:Mary Shelley (1797-1851) and Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), despite being British writers a century apart, seemed to be in touch with each other in their masterpieces, "Franken Stein" and "the Island of Dr. Moro." Using the science fiction theme of "Crazy Scientist," both writers discuss the consequences of scientists' attempts to create human beings and interfere with the laws of nature. In the two works, mad scientists Victor Franken Stein and Dr Morro overstep God as creators, violate the laws of nature, and trample on the ethics of human society. The end result is naturally destroyed by their creation of monsters or orcs. In addition to the surprisingly consistent themes, the two novels are very similar to the image of mad scientists and the performance of fertility themes. [Franken Stan] is a classic Gothic novel by Shelley. Dr Morro's Island is the representative of the scientific legend of Wales. This article will be based on the text reading, and excavate the significance of the two works at the same time. At present, science and technology is developing at an unprecedented speed. However, the misuse and misuse of technological means still exist. The discussion in this paper will show Shelley and Wells'apocalyptic ideas for warning and reflection. The thesis is divided into five parts. The introduction summarizes the novel and the author's writing background, reviews the related research achievements, and introduces the research contents of this paper. The main body of the paper is composed of three parts to analyze the theme of "Crazy Scientist". The first chapter discusses the relationship between the two crazy scientists and nature, ethics and religion, and explores the similar meanings of the essence of "Franken Stan" and "the Island of Dr. Moro". The second chapter analyzes Shelley and Wells' skillful artistic techniques, especially symbols and metaphors, and explores the causes of shaping the vivid sci-fi images. The third chapter is based on the previous explanation, connecting with the times, literature and writer's experience, to uncover the birth origin of the birth myth of crazy scientists, as well as the great literary value and practical significance to the science fiction. The final chapter concludes that the thematic studies of Franken Stein and Dr Morro Island provide a broader space for interpretation of the two works. In the context of the present era, the two works still have profound influence on science, ecology, human nature and morality. As a result, Mary Shelley and Wells finally achieved a dialogue with two crazy scientists.
