希思克利夫的“替罪羊”形象探究——《呼啸山庄》男主人公新解

借用原型批评中的"替罪羊"原型,应用勒内.吉拉尔"替罪羊"机制分析《呼啸山庄》,研究表明《呼啸山庄》的主人公希思克利夫就是当时阶级和门第森严的社会的替罪羊。小说围绕希思克利夫给山庄和田庄两家带来的家庭危机、对恩人家庭成员的报复、因为黑肤色和弃儿身世具备成为替罪羊的优先标记、遭受精神歧视与肉体暴力四个方面的描写,便是对吉拉尔"替罪羊"机制四个范式的回应。

A Study of Heathcliff as a Scapegoat in Wuthering Heights

In light of the archetype of scapegoat and Rene Girard＇s four patterns of scapegoatism,the thesis argues that Heathcliff,the protagonist in Wuthering Heights,is a scapegoat of the highly hierarchical and class-conscious society.The depiction of four aspects in the novel：family crises caused by Heathcliff,his revenge towards the family members of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange,his preferential marks as a scapegoat with his dark skin and his foundling family background,and the mental discrimination and physical violence he suffers is the reflection of the four patterns of scapegoatism of Rene Girard.
