摘要
《贝奥武甫》中的贝奥武甫与诗中其他王者形象一样在性格上存在着一种近乎古典悲剧人物特有的悲剧缺陷。就其整体而言 ,贝奥武甫在诗人心目中并不是个完全理想化的盎格鲁撒克逊王者典型 ,他与诗中其他国王一样 ,通身充满了深刻的矛盾。他或许是位古日尔曼传统中不错的英雄 ,但并不是位希尔德式的理想国王。
As one of the king figures in the epic, Beowulf shows remarkable blemishes in his character, which makes his life story a tragic one. He is certainly not a perfect epic hero. We hear between the lines a fairly strong note of criticism. To the poet, Beowulf is not a kind of king as is idealized in the Germanic tradition. He shares one way or another the critical weaknesses, which eventually lead his kingdom to disaster. He may be an admirable hero, but far from the perfection as is demonstrated by the model king Scyld.
