审美与占有：一支美人的挽歌

本文分别从两个层面重读维多利亚时期的诗歌——《我已故的公爵夫人》，来理解该诗中“公爵”一人的“独语”以及其对他人的“消声”，和“公爵夫人”从其鲜活的人之美到静止无声的艺术品之美的转化，揭示出公爵本人对美的欣赏实在是根植于他对美的占有欲望，而整首诗歌的“独白”正“戏剧性”地揭示出公爵本人的这一内核“性格”。

Aesthetic appreciation and selfish possession: an elegy to a beauty

This article has conducted a two -dimensional interpretative reading to, My Last Duchess, which was composed by Robert Browning of the Victorian Age. It expounds how the Duke＇s monologue in the poem goes hand in hand with his act of si- lencing the others, and how the humanly freshness of the duchess＇living beauty is reduced to the lifeless beauty of a mere art -work. In doing so, it is arrived that the duke~ appreciation of beauty is actually rooted in his selfish nature to take possessions, and this poem masterly uses the form of monologue to dramatically illustrate the duke＇s selfish nature.
