叶芝的《凯瑟琳伯爵小姐》常被人们看成是爱情戏剧或者宗教戏剧,但它其实更是一部道德寓言式的伦理戏剧。此剧通过大饥荒当中“出卖灵魂”这一伦理主线,展现了希摩斯、梯格、普通民众、玛丽、阿里尔、凯瑟琳伯爵小姐等人物身上自然意志、自由意志、非理性意志和理性意志的冲突与博弈。叶芝希望这些具有警示和榜样作用的人物形象的伦理选择,能够激发爱尔兰读者和观众反思自身的思想和行为,提高他们的道德修养和审美情趣,最终推动国家的独立和民族的解放。
Yeats “Miss Catherine” is often seen as a love drama or religious drama, but it is actually a moral and alchemical drama. Through the ethical main line of “betrayal of the soul,” this drama shows the natural, free will and irrational will of people such as Hermosa, the Ladbrokes, the general public, Mary, Ariel, Miss Catherine and others Conflict and Game of Rational Will. Yeats hopes that these ethical choices of characters with warning and role models can inspire Irish readers and audiences to reflect on their own thoughts and behaviors, enhance their moral cultivation and aesthetic taste, and ultimately promote national independence and national liberation.
