摘要
本文试运用文学伦理学批评方法,分析美国现代悲剧作家阿瑟·密勒的经典剧《推销员之死》中主人公威利·洛曼梦想破灭、人格分裂、家破人亡的伦理学意义,讨论发生在他身上的不可避免的伦理冲突和悲剧命运,探讨这一伦理悲剧与冲突的原因、结果和社会根源,即传统伦理道德理想(美国梦)与商业丛林法则(道德异化)的错位,指出商业化大潮给社会伦理带来的破坏和对人类生存处境造成的危害,揭示出作者对商业社会中人的精神危机的深深担忧和对人类伦理建设的深切关怀。
Based on the ethical literary criticism put forward by Nie Zhenzhao,this paper attempts to explore the ethical significance in Death of a Salesman. Willy Loman＇s tragedy is caused by the conflicts between ethical dream （American dream） and commercial jungle law （morality alienation）. Through the death of Willy,Miller points out the destructive consequence of commercialization to traditional ethics and the dilemma man is facing. In Death of a Salesman Miller shows his considerability towards man＇s spiritual crisis in commercialized life and his appeal to the ethics construction in society.
