很多人认为中国古典文学中没有悲剧,中华民族心理整体缺乏悲剧意识,实际上这是套用西方悲剧理论所得出的片面看法。本文通过西方文艺复兴后期文学与中国晚明后期文学的具体文本比较表明,中国古典文学具有浓厚的悲剧意识,只是由于社会文化心理方面的原因,这种悲剧意识在表现手法上与西方悲剧存在“隐”与“显”的差距。 Many people think that there is no tragedy in classical Chinese literature and the lack of tragic awareness of the Chinese nation as a whole. In fact, this is a one-sided view derived from the application of Western tragedy theory. This article through the comparison between the late Western Renaissance literature and the concrete text of late Ming dynasty Chinese literature shows that Chinese classical literature has a strong sense of tragedy just because of social and cultural psychological reasons. “Hidden” and “significant” gap.
