論文提要
海明威作品中的女性通常被分稱兩類—一種是賤女人,而另一種則是溫柔婉約的好女人。在《伊甸園》中,海明威把兩種對立的特質透過凱薩琳和瑪麗塔兩個女人來加以呈現。主角大衛與妻子凱薩琳和情人瑪麗塔之間的互動關係,說明了海明威心中理想的好女人是要處處以男性為主的瑪麗塔,而一新求變且不斷挑戰男性權威的凱薩琳則落得失去婚姻而遭“流放”的的下場。除了描寫三位男女主角間的微妙關係變換之外,海明威也在《伊甸園》中透過大衛的心理轉變來闡述何謂一個優秀的作家。本論文嘗試以東方的儒家對君子的仁、禮、義的道德規範來看《伊甸園》中三個主角的行為。其中,我將說明大衛的行為和他排除心理和外在的因素完成他身為作家的責任,使他成為海明威英雄,同時也是儒家的君子。另一方面,女性在儒家社會的功能與在海明威的小說中的定位也會加以互相對照討論。
Abstract
The Garden of Eden is one of Hemingway’s posthumous works. It is controversial because it was not completed by Hemingway himself but heavily edited by the publisher’s representative. In this work, Hemingway deals with many themes of modern times: lesbianism, male and female relationships, and the notion of a “good writer.” Hemingway’s attitude toward women has been discussed for more than half a century. Generally, women in Hemingway’s works are classified into two types: the “bitch” type and the “submissive” type. In this thesis, two women, Catherine and Marita, in The Garden of Eden will be discussed in terms of the characteristics of these two typologies, and the three main characters, David, Catherine, and Marita will be examined in relation to the notions of “the Hemingway hero,” and the Confucian “gentleman.” Through self-control and discipline, David rises from desperate circumstances to the highest calling, and in the face of adversity accomplishes his mission as a writer. That makes David a “Hero” and “Gentleman”. Catherine’s self-destructive behavior and her attempts to corrupt the people around her make her a “bitch” and “inferior person.” While Marita tries to support David and exemplifies the role of Hemingway’s “good wife,” her “submissive” behavior allows her to be viewed as in a sense as Confucian “gentleman.” From this, it is concluded that much congruence can be discovered between the Hemingway and Confucian notions of morality.
