拜厄特在《巴别塔》中以圣经故事里的巴别塔为核心意象,将其变形新编为文中文《胡言塔》里的布吕亚德塔,通过书写法国大革命失败后一帮自由主义者企图创建一个言论与生活自由、身体解放、孩子接受集体教育的乌托邦乐园,却最终将其演变为成就个人私欲而摧毁他人爱欲、毫无言论自由却又随心所欲、性欲泛滥、暴力残酷的人间巴比伦城的故事,深刻批判该乐园建构背后崇尚绝对“个人主义”、“科学理性”与自由解放的启蒙思想根源,并将其作为一个当代寓言,以20世纪60年代西方盛行的各种自由主义思潮为大背景,提示基于个体欲望轴心的绝对自由和解放的乌托邦追求可能带来的不良后果,从文学角度呈示有限度和某种终极基础的自由的必要性。
Byatt focuses on the Babel in the Bible story in Babel, transforms it into a new version of the Bruy-teh Tower in the Chinese-speaking “Babylon” tower. By writing a series of liberalisms after the failure of the French Revolution Attempting to create a Utopia paradise for freedom of speech and life, liberation of the body, and acceptance of collective education by children, eventually evolves into the pursuit of personal desires and destroys the desires of others. There is no freedom of speech but freedom, excessive sexual desire and brutal violence. The story of Babylon deeply criticizes the origin of absolute “individualism ”, “scientific rationality ” and the liberation of enlightenment ideology behind the construction of this paradise as a contemporary allegory that prevailed in the West in the 1960s Various liberal ideological trends are the major contexts, suggesting the possible consequences of the absolute liberation and liberation of utopian pursuits based on the individual’s desire axis and the necessity of presenting the limits and some ultimate foundation from a literary perspective.
