威廉·戈尔丁是英国当代最伟大的作家之一,他的小说不管是早期反映荒岛儿童生活的《蝇王》,还是后期表现当代成人生活的小说,始终关注的是宗教与人性问题,亦即:人的弃神和人性的邪恶,以及由此导致的人的堕落和死亡结局。因此,揭示戈尔丁的宗教与人性观,对于研究探讨戈尔丁的小说主题和艺术特征具有重要的意义。 William Golding is one of the greatest contemporary writers in the UK. His novels are either “Lord of the Flies”, which reflected the children’s life on the desert island in the early days, or the novels of later adult life, which are always concerned with religious and humanity issues. That is, the evils of human beings and the evil of humanity, and the consequent depravity and death of human beings. Therefore, revealing Golding’s religious and humanistic views is of great significance for studying and studying Golding’s novel themes and artistic features.
