【摘要】 本文探讨索尔·贝娄早期小说的“负罪—救赎”主题。“负罪—救赎”主题一直以来都是美国犹太小说中具有普遍意义的主题,并且以特定的方式实现着对犹太文化母题的遵循和演化。贝娄出身犹太移民家庭,接受美国式教育。他选耿犹太要素作为小说背景,把失去自我本质的苦难纳入到负罪的命运程式中,表现人的生存困境,揭示人道主义在技术强权下的危机,以致生命丧失了它应有的真实状态而流为纯粹表现。在贝娄的小说里,主人公在物质世界中找不到立足之地,失去自我本质,承受着精神苦难,但是他们是积极的探索者,在经历自我本质的丧失之苦后,主动地寻找救赎的方式,以获得灵魂上的重生,印证人存在的价值。本文以美国犹太移民为研究对象,以精神受难、寻找救赎方式、灵魂得到新生这样的结构模式来论述贝娄小说的“负罪—救赎”主题。通过以上分析,展示贝娄的人道主义价值观,演绎了现代人“负罪—救赎—新生”的命运程式,并且超越犹太性,揭示人类的普遍生存困境。更多还原
