戴维·洛奇的《小世界》记录了主人公柏斯在世界各地研讨会上的见闻,揭示了西方社会日渐败坏的学术风气。洛奇通过描写巧合、人物的堕落和教堂,将作品中那些所谓的学者在欲望驱使下背弃上帝的行为,以及他们道德走向腐败的事实暴露无遗。本文从宗教视角解读《小世界》,探讨在洛奇眼中“信仰何为”以及人们“为何信仰”的问题,深入挖掘作品的宗教意义。本文认为,作品书写的巧合、人物的堕落和教堂共同展现了宗教信仰拯救人类灵魂、给予人们希望和力量的作用,并传达出他希冀那些渐失宗教信仰的西方人重新回归信仰传统宗教的愿望。
David Lodge’s “Little World” records the insights of the protagonist Perth at seminars around the world, revealing the increasingly corrupted academic atmosphere in Western society. By depicting coincidences, depravity of the characters and churches, Lodge exposes the so-called scholar in the work who, by desire, betrayed God’s behavior and the fact that their morality went corrupt. This article interprets the “small world” from the perspective of religion, explores the issue of “what to believe” and “why people believe in” in the eyes of Rocky, digging deeper into the religious significance of the work. This article argues that the coincidence of works, the depravity of people and the churches jointly demonstrate the role of religious belief in saving human souls and giving hope and strength to people, and expressing his hope that those who lose their religious beliefs will regain their desire to return to traditional religions .
