摘 要
《双城记》是查尔斯·狄更斯的经典小说，其中西德尼·卡顿作为核心人物之一，其形象与自我牺牲精神具有深刻的人文内涵。本研究以卡顿的悲剧性人生轨迹为切入点，在文学批评与文化语境的双重框架下，探讨其自我牺牲行为的崇高意义及其对人性价值的体现。通过文本细读与比较分析方法，结合19世纪社会历史背景，研究揭示了卡顿从迷茫到觉醒的心路历程，并剖析其牺牲行为背后的心理动因与道德力量。结果表明，卡顿的自我牺牲不仅是个人救赎的完成，更是对人类普遍情感与伦理价值的升华。本文创新性地将存在主义哲学视角融入传统文学批评，重新诠释了卡顿形象的多重维度，强调其在现代社会中的启示意义。这一研究不仅深化了对卡顿人物的理解，也为西方经典文学中类似主题的研究提供了新的理论支持。关键词：西德尼·卡顿; 自我牺牲; 存在主义哲学; 人性价值; 悲剧性觉醒
Abstract
"A Tale of Two Cities" is a classic novel by Charles Dickens, in which Sydney Carton, as one of the central figures, embodies profound humanitarian significance through his character and self-sacrificing spirit. This study examines Carton's tragic life trajectory as an entry point, exploring the sublime meaning of his self-sacrifice and its reflection of human values within the dual fr amework of literary criticism and cultural context. By employing close reading and comparative analysis methods, combined with the socio-historical background of the 19th century, the research reveals Carton's psychological journey from confusion to enlightenment and analyzes the underlying psychological motivations and moral forces behind his sacrificial act. The findings indicate that Carton's self-sacrifice not only represents personal redemption but also elevates universal human emotions and ethical values. Innovatively integrating existentialist philosophy into traditional literary criticism, this study reinterprets the multidimensional aspects of Carton's character and highlights its implications for modern society. This research not only enhances the understanding of Carton as a character but also provides new theoretical support for studies on similar themes in Western classical literature."Key words:Sydney Carton; Self-Sacrifice; Existentialist Philosophy; Human Value; Tragic Awakening
