Abstract

Abstract:This article proposes that in his 1842 novel La Femme de trente ans, Honoré de Balzac draws on Lord Byron's depiction of self-deceptive character pathology in Don Juan Canto I, using the British poet's Spanish seduction scene as a template for his own portrayal of the opening moves of an adulterous liaison. Byron's Donna Julia and Balzac's Julie d'Aiglemont display the same disconnection between conscious thought and unconscious gesture, the one repudiating and the other inviting adulterous intimacy. However, although the French novel contains noticeable traces of the English poem, Balzac characteristically deviates in several crucial features, his astute grasp of Don Juan enabling him to make a series of adaptive amplifications which accentuate his heroine's sexual iniquity.

《揭开秘密的爱》:拜伦的《唐璜·坎托一世》和巴尔扎克的《三十岁的女人》中通奸欲望的姿态

摘要:巴尔扎克在其1842年的小说《La Femme de trente ans》中借鉴了拜伦勋爵在《唐璜》第一章中对自我欺骗的人格病理的描述，将这位英国诗人的西班牙诱惑场景作为他自己描绘通奸关系开始动作的模板。拜伦的Donna Julia和巴尔扎克的Julie d'Aiglemont在有意识的思想和无意识的姿态之间表现出同样的脱节，一个拒绝，另一个邀请通奸的亲密关系。然而，尽管法国小说中有明显的英国诗的痕迹，巴尔扎克在几个关键的特征上偏离了他的特点，他对唐璜的敏锐把握使他能够做出一系列适应性的放大，突出了女主角的性罪恶。
