摘　　要： 哥特小说由于执着于对丑陋与罪恶的书写,长久以来被认为是放逐或背离了伦理标准,助长了人类道德的沦丧。本文以英国著名哥特小说《修道士》为例,从文学伦理学的批评视角,分析了小说中宗教伦理道德与世俗伦理道德的冲突、人性的善与恶的冲突,指出《修道士》是在人道主义伦理观照下对封建宗教伦理的批判和对人性的高扬;哥特小说特有的“审恶”与“审丑”的文学实践所蕴含的道德教育功能在于把人物放到了极端的环境中,更为夸张、深入地表现了人性与道德的种种矛盾,从而使读者在惊奇与震撼之中,心灵得到净化,道德情感得到升华。 Because of the daring depiction of obscenity and evils, Gothic novels have long been condemned for damaging the social morality and violating the ethical principles. However, this essay tries to do an ethical analysis of the struggle between the good and evil, and the conflict between the religious and the worldly ethics in The Monk, one of the most representative Gothic novels in English literature. It reveals that through the exaggerating and penetrating representation of the conflicts between human nature and social morality, Lewis shows his critical opinions on the feudal religious ethics and his devotion to humanity, in which lies the power of Gothic novels to ＂purify＂ the readers＇ souls and ＂sublimate＂ their ethical feelings.
