《The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings (Bantam Classics)》读后感(一):封面很不错
这本书以王尔德的照片作封面是最恰当不过的了。
王尔德在书中借旁人之口毫无遮拦地说了太多他自己的观点。而容颜永驻,画像变老,正是他自己的渴望。出身贵族,相貌俊美,只求唯美不分善恶,他自己分明就是小说的原型。
当然,如果以道格拉斯的画像作封面效果估计也很不错。
《The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings (Bantam Classics)》读后感(二):《道连格雷》到底是关于什么
我非常喜欢这个小说,所以衍生的作品看了不少,广播剧音乐剧之类的,觉得它们都非常美丽,但是在表达的意义上总好像隔靴搔痒,没有令人获得读小说时候的满足感。大家好像一般总认为这本书就是关于“不道德的人最终会受到报应”,好像王尔德是要教我们公德在社会上的重要性,这样讲出来不免有点好笑。
相比之下,我更会觉得这个故事是关于生活和艺术关系的讨论。道连作为现实生活中活生生的人,希望成为完全没用又美丽的艺术品,不断追求的是体验到更多新奇的sensations,同时可以失去灵魂,以在每一次玩弄别人的感情的时候全身而退,自己完全不受影响(向画像出卖灵魂的描写和希望超越普通生活成为艺术品的愿望互为表里)。但是道连最后还是在谋杀威胁和打猎事变中屈服了,开始瞻前顾后,开始变得更加道德,以至于最后会在猜疑中打破了自己艺术品的身份,谋杀了自己。至于这个结局是想要说明什么呢?—我也不知道了。也许是王尔德想说明这种生活最终不可能成功,也许是对这一个失败的尝试的惋惜;无论是哪种,我始终觉得王尔德对道连的态度是中性的,不会至于说要去批评“非道德”。
《The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings (Bantam Classics)》读后感(三):婚姻,时间,以及其他
在很长的一段时间里,提起王尔德,我的脑子里会出现快乐王子,夜莺和那些常被人们引用的关于婚姻或爱情的句子。直到完整地读完《道林•格雷的画像》(The Picture of Dorian Gray),我才发现那些经典表述大多来自其中。作为王尔德唯一的长篇小说,本书以仍以作者幽默讽刺背后又充满哀伤的风格取胜。文章里满是大段耐人寻味的对话和让人拍手叫绝的比喻。
这是一个有趣的悲剧。画家Basil为美少年Dorian Gray画了一张及其精致美丽的画像,同日,画家的朋友地主Henry却让Gray意识到自己的美丽是多么短暂,于是偷偷向上帝祈祷自己的面容将永不改变,而让这张画像代替他变老。没想到这荒唐的渴望竟变成了事实,Gray受了Henry的影响,相信生命和美都极短暂,应当抓紧时间享受。他于是长期过着极其堕落的生活,甚至让深爱他的姑娘走上了自杀的路。他的面容没有丝毫改变,而画像却变得面目可憎。多年后Gray似乎开始厌倦了,并且此时的他也名誉扫地。他忍不住将画像的秘密告诉了它的创造者Basil,然后谋杀了他。他威胁自己的一个朋友去处理尸体,最终也毁了此人的前程。此时当年那个姑娘的弟弟要出来杀他报仇,他侥幸躲过,但前者却被误杀身亡。于是这个世上没有什么再让Dorian Gray恐惧的了,唯一可憎的便是那张越变越骇人的画像。他动手去毁灭它的时候,也随着它倒在地上再没有起来,那张脸年迈而丑陋。
我在这本书里发现了对许多个概念让人印象深刻的态度,诸如“美”、“爱情”“艺术”、“婚姻”“时间”等等。今天我要选择后两者,将它们与一些中国传统观念来做对比。关于王尔德,人们常将三个“主义”加诸于他,分别是“悲观”、“唯美”和“享乐”。也就是说在生命短暂且无甚意义的前提下,他强调从人的生理角度去看问题,追求感官的美与满足。与王尔德同时代的中国人,在地球的另一端,则更多是以道德,以非个人的角度去看待世界,但在婚姻这一点上,二者却殊途同归,得出的结论都是将其作为一项必须完成的社会任务。
在《道林•格雷的画像》中,Henry第一次提起婚姻的时候这样说:…the one charm of marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.(婚姻唯一的吸引力是它充满欺骗的生活对双方而言都变得必不可少。) 后来,他又大发议论,说“…even in love it is purely a question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot…”(……就算爱情,也只是一个生理学问题,跟我们的意愿没有任何相关。年轻人希望自己忠贞,却不是的;老年人想不忠,却做不到……)此外还有那句常被人引用的话——“Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.(男人因为疲倦而结婚,女人因为好奇而结婚,但两者都失望而归。)”这些无不在表明结婚更多是一种生理需求和社会需要,仿佛一种无可选择的选择,充满无奈和悲剧气味。
中国深受儒家思想影响,人们以家庭为单位胜于以个人为单位存在于世,家长的绝对权力曾被不断强调。婚姻,作为组建家庭的基础,是充满道德感和责任感的使命。如果说王尔德认为婚姻并非情感的升华,那么在极长的时间里,中国人甚至没有将婚姻和自发产生年的感情划上关系。我们在圣贤书里“规定”夫妻相爱,妻子“应该”爱夫爱子。感情是被意志力所控制的,是道德强制力下可以随便支配的东西,是被忽视的,也就更不可能对它产生“短暂”“多变”等等的判断了。在十九世纪中后期,去讽刺去分析爱情和婚姻都只是西方人的专利,但有着这种特权的他们,也不得不乖乖的履行婚姻这一义务。
这本书可以说本身就是奠定在生命短暂、世事无常的基调上的。如Henry所说:“The only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”(反复无常的怪念头和长达一生的热情之间只有一个不同点,那就是反复无常的持续得稍久些。)也正是因为如此,才应当抓紧时间享乐、才应当把生命花费在对美的追求上。也就是说西方人的时间概念是一条直线,人们的生命是从中截取的细微线段,走到尽头便一切完结,于是乎才会产生让人绝望的悲观主义论调,这种关于转瞬即逝,什么都无法把握的恐慌。王尔德更认为乐观主义其实是建立在这种恐慌之上的。人们不敢面对它,从而大张旗鼓地否定它、遮盖它,假设自己生活在希望与幸福之中。这种对时间观念的看破,直接导致了他的悲观主义。
而中国人的时间概念更像一个圆,我们有无数的轮回和转世。此生的痛苦与绝望可以转化到对下辈子的美好希冀中去。我们在暗地里早假设了永恒的存在,因此体味不到对“尽头”那种歇斯底里的惧怕。因为我们相信因果轮回,所以一味地克制自己,渴求下辈子得到好的报应,别说光明正大地追求什么生理满足,连这样的念头都不曾产生过。“永恒”本身变成了一个更庞大的不可言说的力量,让我们敬畏,让我们有意无意地亏待和压制自己。我们这种恐惧是对某种高于我们的存在的恐惧,与西方对于虚无的恐惧有着本质的区别。只因为对“时间”这个概念截然不同的看法,让地球两端的人在思想习惯、行为方式上出现了显而易见的区别。
当然,王尔德无论在哪个社会都是一种较为极端的代表。并且本书那个常“大放厥词”的地主Henry是没有信仰的,否则,在西方那条时间线段的尽头,至少还有天堂可以挽救他们,还有上帝可以让他们忘却那种绝望的恐惧。
从《道林•格雷的画像》所想到的,除了以上两个概念在中国与西方之间的差异,我认为还有一点值得补充,那便是书中画像的象征意义。画像上凝聚了腐化的道德、可耻的秘密,是罪恶的集合体。但我却认为它才是真正活着的Dorian Gray,当画像被损毁,人的生命也就随之消失了。美丽潇洒的Gray只是一张会吃喝享乐的立体画。由于灵魂的丧失,他与动物的明显差别变成了动物不会蓄意杀人。这样一来,王尔德笔下的生命便是充满罪恶的了,并且它们产生在美的名义下。这时候看似追求唯美主义的作者变得有些难以捉摸,他展示这样一场悲剧,究竟是为了揭露什么以达到警醒作用,还是借Henry的口表明某种立场呢?我的前文都是建立在后者的基础上的,因此这里也不会去推翻这一假设。但王尔德的真正态度的确让我产生了极大的好奇心,罪与美、道德与感官在作者笔下的制衡点在哪里?也许再多读几次,从字里行间瞥见些头绪,才可再下新结论。
《The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings (Bantam Classics)》读后感(四):十分喜欢的一本书
毕业论文,确切的说,第一稿毕业论文做的是这个故事。
决定拿它做论文之前,只读了一遍,还是学校的阅读课硬塞进来的。没想到读了之后就彻底喜欢上Wilde这厮了。他的语言令人读来直呼过瘾。而用他的语言来说这样一个故事更是令人只觉惊艳。教授说唯美主义发展到英国,发展到佩特和王尔德之后,就没落了,而本身也只是诸多“主义”中很不显眼的一支。但我想这种为艺术而艺术的奢侈,是此后再也寻不着的了。
于是很激情的一个寒假写好了论文初稿。可是被导师弊了,理由很怪异,说因为这是阅读课的书目,所以很多学生懒得看别的书,都写了这个。逼我换一东西写。
于是极其不情愿的挑三拣四了半天,终于选定写Salome,王尔德的一部短剧。仍是汹涌的美和情感的冲击;骇俗的语言。还记得以前在一家小店铺里喝东西听一个男人弹吉他唱歌的时候觉得自己的手指要跳舞。读Salome的几十遍里,我的心都在跳舞。后来买了施特劳斯的那个剧来看,也觉得不错。
摘一点以前搜罗的句子在这儿吧,其实到处都能找到,并且看这些句子远没有整段整段地读那些文字有意思,不过还是贴吧。
