【摘要】 戴维·赫伯特·劳伦斯(1885-1930)是二十世纪英国文学史上最伟大的作家之一,也是出生于工人阶级家庭的最伟大的作家之一。劳伦斯的自传体小说《儿子与情人》(1913)是英国现代文学史上一部伟大的力作。面对着扭曲的社会,劳伦斯看到只有通过重建平衡才能挽救当时的社会。本文解读小说中所体现出来的“不平衡”旨在探究劳伦斯早期的“平衡”思想。第一部分为引言,主要介绍了劳伦斯和他的平衡思想。第一章分析了《儿子与情人》中复杂的人物关系并发现的其中错综的不平衡关系。这部小说正是运用反证来说明平衡的重要性。第二章进一步探究工业社会中各种失衡的关系带来的悲剧。第三章发掘了劳伦斯对于平衡的追问。作品虽然是在失衡中进行,但是,劳伦斯对于平衡的渴望从来没有停止过。第四章探究劳伦斯“平衡”思想的成因。这篇文章将从劳伦斯所处的经济背景,文化背景和他的个人经历三个方面来阐述。最后一部份是结论。它进一步阐述了《儿子与情人》中的主题,劳伦斯主张平衡,包括灵与肉的平衡,人与自然的平衡,人与社会的平衡。劳伦斯认为回归自然及自然本性是达到这种和谐平衡的唯一方法。劳伦斯的思想深受当时的社会背景及成长环境的影响。这种思想对于社会主义道德精神建设的也有积极的意义。在我们呼唤和谐社会的时代中,人与自然和社会的和谐统一是我们永远的主题。更多还原

【Abstract】 David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) is one of the greatest writers in the history of English literature, and,perhaps,one of the greatest from a working-class family. His well-known autobiographical novel, Sons and Lovers, is one of the greatest novels in modern English literature history. Confronted with the distorted society, Lawrence believes that only the reconstruction of balance could save our society.My thesis will focus on the imbalance embodied in Sons and Lovers so as to formulate Lawrence’s thought of balance in his early life.The first part will give a brief introduction to D. H. Lawrence and his thought of balance. The first chapter of this thesis analyzes the sophisticated relations between the characters in Sons and Lovers and then draws a conclusion about imbalance based on the analysis. The imbalance is the counterevidence of the importance of balance. The second chapter further explores the tragedies caused by the imbalance. The third chapter focuses on the restoration to balance. Though the story evolves with the imbalances, Lawrence never stops his desire to balance. The fourth chapter turns to the factors that lead to the formation of D. H. Lawrence’s thought of balance. This thesis has looked into the economic background, the cultural background and the personal experience of Lawrence. The last chapter is the conclusion. It further elaborates the theme of Sons and Lovers. Lawrence affirms balance, including the balance between spirit and body, man and nature, man and society. Lawrence believes that returning to nature and restoration to instinct is the sole approach to achieve the balance. His thought is affected by the temporal social background and personal experience. Lawrence’s idea of balance is significant to the national spirit of our age. In a harmonious society, our concern is the balance between man and nature as well as man and society forever.更多还原
