英国当代小说家伊恩.麦克尤恩的长篇小说《水泥花园》讲述了一个骇人听闻的姐弟乱伦的故事。小说中本我、自我与超我的斗争和制约构成了这个荒岛家庭的伦理观,契合弗洛伊德人格结构理论的模式。但麦克尤恩并不仅仅为刻画这个故事本身,而是希望通过描写社会极端现象向生活在文明荒原中的人们敲响伦理与道德的警世钟。 British novelist Ian McEwan’s novel “Cement Garden” tells the story of an appalling sibling incest. The struggle between the self in the novel and the self and the struggle and control of the ego and the super ego constitute the ethical view of this desert island family and the model of the theory of Freud’s personality structure. But McEwan did not merely portray the story itself but hoped to scribe the warning bell of ethics and morality by describing the social extremes in people living in the wilderness of civilization.
