《失乐园》与《西游记》的比较研究

论文摘要

《失乐园》是弥尔顿的宏篇史诗,《西游记》作为中国四大名著之一,在中国文学史上占有重要地位。这两部文学著作的具体内容早被人们所知,但两者的关联却少有研究,它们之间存在的联系也鲜为人知。本文运用了新历史主义理论,对《失乐园》与《西游记》之间的文学意义进行研究,找出其异同与缘由。并通过定性分析的方法,对东、西方自由意识的差异进行分析。本文主要包含七个部分:首先,作者概述整篇文章,同时提出本文的重要性;其次,作者回顾了《失乐园》与《西游记》在国外以及国内的文献综述以及文章选用的理论框架和研究方法;然后,作者从主题、主要人物、历史背景以及宗教信仰方面,详尽的分析《失乐园》和《西游记》以及两者之间的异同;最后作者对全文的观点做出了总结,并提出本文的不足之处。综上所述,本文通过对《失乐园》与《西游记》之间的比较研究,为人们提供了在新历史主义理论下全新的研究视角。特别是在相似的历史环境下,不同民族文化的比较——异同及缘由。
