【摘要】：《雾都孤儿》中的贫民区景观描写透露了狄更斯在看待贫穷与犯罪问题上的矛盾性。他不仅展示贫民区的肮脏破败,更暗示其居民在道德和法律上的可疑。虽然他有意批判英国慈善制度对穷人的伪善,却在无意识中附和了中产阶级对穷人带有偏见的阶级想象,即把穷人整体想象成一个难以控制、不守道德、无视法律的犯罪阶级,这种想象表现在他对穷人和罪犯在相貌、习性甚至种族等方面的书写上。由于他把犯罪的根源依旧归结为日渐迷失的道德品质,因此他所关心的也就不是根本性的社会改革,而只能重提那些资产阶级学者经常给出的温柔却无用的建议。
[Abstract]:The ghetto landscape in Oliver Twist reveals Dickens' ambivalence about poverty and crime. He shows not only the squalor and ruin of slums. Even though he intended to criticize the hypocrisy of the British charity system towards the poor, he unconsciously echoed the middle class's biased class imagination against the poor. The image of the poor as a whole as a criminal class that is difficult to control, unscrupulous, and ignoring the law is manifested in his appearance to the poor and criminals. In the writing of habits and even race, because he still attributes the root of crime to the increasingly lost moral character, he is not concerned with fundamental social reform. We can only repeat the soft but useless advice often given by bourgeois scholars.
