Great Expectation in David Copperfield
—— Moral Ideals of Charles Dickens
Abstract
Simple and unadorned, people like Agnes, Aunt Betsey, and Mrs. Peggotty use their own personalities to interpret the essence of human nature, and to bring warmness, enlightenment and inspirations to those who have suffered or have been suffering or have gone astray. By way of presenting their personalities through a childrsquo;s eyes, Charles Dickens describes his own ideas towards what virtues a person should possess. With great sympathy and compassion, Charles Dickens is rapt in depicting those miserable immature lives; and ultimately, he succeeds in finishing this heart-shaking story: David Copperfield. Consequently, this book is also the quintessence of his moral ideals; at the mean time, the characters are the carrier which powerfully embodies Dickensrsquo; humanitarian spirit, which fuses good nature with experiences, beliefs and zeitgeist.
摘要
大卫·科波菲尔中的角色如艾尼斯,贝特茜姨婆和辟果提深入人心。简单、朴素如她们,却能够用自身品质阐释人性光辉,为周边饱受困苦的人带来温暖,鼓舞与启迪。通过孩童的视角,查尔斯·狄更斯阐述了人需要具备的美德。他对穷苦社会底层孩子饱含怜悯和同情,热衷于描绘他们的生活。正是这样一种情感促使他完成了《大卫·科波菲尔》这篇令人动容的故事。这部作品凝结了他的道德理想,成为他人道主义精神的载体,将善良本性与自身的经历、信仰和时代精神完美地融合在一起。
