外国文学史复习上(笔记整理)
第一章古代文学 欧洲古代文学包括古希腊文学和古罗马文学，古希腊文学是欧洲文学的源头。古罗马文学是继承古希腊文学的基础上发展起来的，但具有自己的民族特色，它是沟通古希腊文学与欧洲近代文学之间的桥梁。古罗马文学为欧洲近代文学的发展奠定了基础。 一、古希腊神话的基本内容和特征是什么？ 基本内容：神的故事和英雄传说。 ①在神话的故事中，讲到天地的开辟，神的产生，神的谱系，人类的起源，神的日常生活等。 ②英雄传说是古希腊人在幻想中追忆远古社会生活和部落中杰出人物时创造出来的。英雄实是部落中集体智慧和力量的化身，因受人们的崇拜而被神化，如伊阿宋取金羊毛、普罗米修斯、赫拉克勒斯、奥德修斯等。 艺术特征主要有三点： （1）、想象力极强。把自然界、人类社会、精神领域的一切现象都拟人化、神话化，入情入理，创造出令人难忘的意境和鲜明的形象。eg：阿波罗的爱情故事、法厄同驾太阳马车的故事、潘多拉盒子的故事 （2）、故事性极强。情节曲折，起伏跌宕，有头有尾，娓娓道来，动听感人。eg：宙斯和伊俄的故事、哈得斯的婚姻故事、普罗米修斯的故事 （3）、哲理性强。希腊神话既富情趣，又极深刻，是早期人类经验和智慧的结晶，许多故事寓意丰富，发人深思。如：不和的金苹果的故事、希绪弗斯的故事、安泰俄斯的故事等。 古希腊神话的价值和影响。（是希腊艺术的“武库”和土壤，是后世创作的源泉。） （1）它是古希腊文学艺术的宝库和土壤。荷马、赫西俄德、绝大部分悲剧、大量美术和雕塑作品都以它为素材。（2）它对古罗马文学艺术产生了巨大影响。维吉尔《埃涅阿斯记》大量取材，奥维德《变形记》则或全面转述。（3）、它是文艺复兴直至现当代一些著名作家艺术家创作的灵感和原型。莎士比亚、高乃依、拉辛、达芬奇、普桑、米开朗琪罗、贝尔尼尼等直至当代。 二、古希腊文学可以分为几个时期?各时期有什么特点？ （1）第一时期：公元前12世纪~公元前8世纪是古希腊氏族社会向封建社会过渡，史称“英雄时代”或“荷马时代”主要成就是神话和史诗 （2）第二时期：公元前8世纪~前6世纪氏族社会进一步解体，奴隶主城邦逐渐形成时期，史称“大移民时代”，主要成就是抒情诗和寓言 （3）第三时期：公元前6世纪~公元前4世纪希腊奴隶制发展全盛期，史称“古典时期”，主要成就：戏剧、散文和文学理论 （4）第四时期：公元前4世纪末~公元前2世纪史称“希腊化时期”，主要成就是新喜剧和田园诗 三、古罗马古罗马文学的地位、特点以及不同时期的主要成就？ 地位：古罗马文学是在古希腊文学的基础上发展起来的，继承发展了古希腊文学的内容和形式，在戏剧和散文方面有长足的发展，是希腊文学与欧洲近代文学的中介和桥梁，在西方文学史上占有重要的地位。 特点:具有理性精神、集体意识和庄严崇高的气质，精神与情感世界相对贫乏，在艺术上强调均衡、严整、和谐，重视修辞与句法、技巧上偏于雕琢与矫饰。 成就：（1）共和时期：（公元前240~公元前30年）埃纽斯“罗马文学之父” 喜剧首先繁荣，代表作家普劳图斯《双生子》、《一坛黄金》，喜剧诗人有泰伦斯《婆母》 （2）黄金时期：（公元前100~公元17年）西塞罗卢克来修《论自然》， “三大诗人”：维吉尔古罗马最伟大的诗人，代表作《埃涅阿斯纪》是欧洲文学史上第一部文人史诗奥维德《变形记》贺拉斯《诗艺》（文学批评的代表作寓教于乐） （3）白银时期：（公元17~130年）长篇小说有阿普列尤斯的《金驴记》是欧洲文学史上最早长篇小说；普鲁塔克的散文《希腊罗马名人传》；卢肯的史诗《法萨利亚》 《埃涅阿斯纪》是古罗马诗人维吉尔最重要的作品，也是整个罗马文学的顶峰之作。史诗的主题是描述罗马祖先建国的功绩，歌颂罗马的光荣。《埃涅阿斯纪》以荷马史诗为范本，前半部分写漂泊，与《奥德赛》相似；后半部分写战争，与《伊利亚特》雷同。但它又不是对荷马史诗的简单仿作，而是有着鲜

美国文学选读 The Great Gatsby 分析
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1890 - 1940) II. His masterpiece: The Great Gatsby 1.The story summary: The entire story takes place in one summer in 1922. The novel describes the life and death of Jay Gatsby, as seen through the eyes of a narrator who does not share the same point of view as the fashionable people around him. The narrator learns that Gatsby became rich by breaking the law. Gatsby pretends to be a well-educated war hero, which he is not, yet the narrator portrays（描绘）him as being far more noble than the rich, cruel, stupid people among whom he and Gatsby live. Gatsby’s character is purified by a deep, unselfish love for Daisy, a beautiful, silly woman who, earlier, married a rich husband instead of Gatsby and moved into high society. Gatsby has never lost his love for her and, in an era when divorce has become easy, he tries to win her back by becoming rich himself. He does not succeed, and in the end he is killed by accident because of his determination to shield Daisy from disgrace. None of Gatsby’s upper class friends come to his funeral. The narrator is so disgusted that he leaves New York and returns to his original home. Chapter Nine Nick makes plans for the funeral. Gatsby's Funeral, three people show up. Nick returns to the west. Nick meets with Tom Buchanan Nick gets a last view of Gatsby's house. 小说表面上是一个爱情故事，但实际却是对社会现状的讽刺批判。比如，小说真实再现了盖茨比挥霍的晚会场面，客人们空虚元聊的生活方式，以及盖茨比经营非法买卖敛取财富的背景，这些都是那寻欢作乐和价值沦丧的时代的典型写照。另一方面，自移民时期开始，美国人一直梦想在这片民主、平等、自由、富饶的土地上，通过个人奋斗获得财富和幸福。但是物质富裕带来的却是精神堕落和理想的破灭，财富的增加也没有消除社会贫困和社会各阶层的狭隘偏见。Fitzgerald's America is not a place where anything is possible: just as America has failed to transcend its European origins, Gatsby, too, cannot overcome the circumstances of his upbringing. 在盖茨比身上可以清楚看到英国式的理想和精神追求，他的“了不起”就在于他对理想的执着。但他的理想在与时代现实的冲突中却又显得天真、虚幻。他将奋斗和生命的意义仅仅建立在理想化的黛西和她代表的财富之上，而当现实元情地将这个梦幻击碎后，他的奋斗和生命便丧失了存在的患义，他其实是被他自己的梦想所杀死的。 小说的结构和主题天然合一。小说突出比较了盖茨比与黛西夫妇和他们所代表的社会阶层各自不同的价值观。小说通过第一人称叙事者尼克的视角，在第一章就将两组人并列展示在读者面前，在前四章，通过故事结构的安排使两组人交替登场。这一方法使读者能够客
《外国文学史》课后简答题(自己吐血整理)
1.作为欧洲最早出现的文学，古代希腊文学开创了一种什么样的文化传统？体现了早期西方人什么样的思想感情和审美趣味？ 古希腊文化中蕴含着原始的“人”的观点，它经由古罗马文化对后来的西方文学产生了深远影响，成为西方文学人文传统的主要源头之一。古希腊民族对人的重视，与该民族的自然观宇宙观有密切联系。古希腊人有强烈的个体意识，重视个体的人的价值的实现，强调人在自己对立物——自然与社会——面前的主观能动性，崇尚人的智慧和在智慧引导下的自由，肯定人的原始欲望的合理性，是古希腊文化的本质特征。蕴藏着根深蒂固的人本主义意识。古希腊文学中最为突出的是人本精神。无论神话史诗还是喜剧，都满腔热情地讴歌生活，赞美人生，讴歌人类的勇敢聪明和智慧，占在宇宙的高度审视人和大自然的搏斗，礼赞人性的悲壮和崇高，体现出他们热爱生活，积极进取，勇于追求的乐观精神。这一精神成为文艺复兴时期西方思想的主要来源 希腊人以为人在世界上是孤独的无助地站立着的，且因为他时时地战胜阻碍，庄严的承受命运最严刻的判定，于是人道的崇拜便成了希腊生活与希腊宗教的主要特点。 他们成就了简朴的直截的美：直白的真实的美。 2.希腊神话具有哪些特点，为什么会具有这些特点？ 1）原始、野蛮、未开化。希腊民族在原始公社和氏族社会就已经有了一套丰富而完整的神话。由于希腊神话起源很早，所以在希腊神话故事中往往会带一种原始、野蛮、未开化的气息。 2）人本主义与命运观念并存。希腊神话是原始初民的自由意志、自我意识和原始欲望的象征表述。在神话中，神的意志和欲望就是人的意志和欲望，神和英雄们的所作所为、恣肆放纵的行为模式，隐喻了希腊人对自身原始欲望充分实现的潜在冲动，体现了个体本位的文化价值观念。希腊神话里真正具有宗教意义的神是命运，而那些热热闹闹的、欢愉活泼的、喧闹不已的诸神却没有一点宗教的意味。在希腊神话里表现了一个不出场的东西，这个东西就叫命运。它决定一切，包括神的命运也同样是由它决定的。因此，在希腊神话里面就包含了一个非常深刻的思想——命运。 3）人神同形同性论，处在核心地位是“人神同形同性论”，不仅使希腊神话较早的摆脱了兽型妖灵阶段，而且是深化体现了较强的民主意识和以人为本、注重现实的精神。希腊神话中的神不是有王或城邦统治者所垄断的，也不是高高在上，只供人们敬畏的神癨，而是属于整个希腊世界所有公民并生活与民众之中的神，神性与人性是相通的。不存在不可逾越的界限。神和人都有男女的形态，但有时人完美的体现，神的形象体现着人的智慧和美之所能达到的最高境界，但也和人一样有着七情六欲。 4）构建了一个多神系统。希腊人民以丰富、新奇的想象创造出了以宙斯为首的俄林波斯山众神，一般认为有十二主神。5）赞扬乐观、积极进取的精神。希腊人民通过创造神来表达自己的理想和愿望，展现自己民族积极进取的精神风貌。6）深刻的哲理意味。西绪弗斯滚石头，对一种看不见的终极目标的追求。 希腊神话故事是古希腊人民在努力从事生产生活活动过程中所创造的希腊神话故事是古希腊人民生活与人生的折射，它反映了古希腊人民对自然和英雄人物的崇拜与理想化，以及他们为了生存与自然所进行的顽强斗争。 Key word：人神同形同性论人本主义与命运观点乐观积极进取的精神多神系统原始野蛮未开化哲理
