“受难的耶稣”形象现已成为原型意义上的文学意象。海明威在其小说《老人与海》中成功地化用了“受难的耶稣”这一原型意象,突出了主人公在受难中所体现出来的男性准则;哈代在《苔丝》中将心甘情愿承受磨难的女主人公苔丝描写成耶稣基督精神的载体,体现了纯洁、忠诚的女性准则。如果说海明威的“受难者耶稣”是被迫选择受难,那么苔丝则是心甘情愿地承受磨难。 The “crucified Jesus” image has now become a prototype literary image. Hemingway successfully used the archetypal image of “The Crucifixion of Jesus” in his novel “The Old Man and the Sea,” highlighting the male norms embodied in the protagonist; Hardy would willingly bear in “Tess of the Sea” Tess, the tortured heroine, portrayed the carrier of the spirit of Jesus Christ, reflecting the pure, loyal female code. If Hemingway’s “Jesus of Marty” is forced to choose to suffer, then Tess is willing to suffer.
