Conflict And Redemption Of The Soul—Ethical Choice In Comedies Of Wilde

Although Oscar Wilde's comedy creation has a small number, but each piece of work has its own characteristics. By analyzing the research results of Wilde, I found Oscar Wilde's comedy research is not as rich as in other genres of writing. And in according of the experience of reading four Oscar Wilde comedies, I found distinctive characters and sharp conflict contradictions, and that comedy finals come toward integration. The keen topics which included a variety of issues of that society also have a corresponding meaning. This paper studies the subjects, the conflict situations to achieve Wilde ethical choice through text analysis, and the integrated methods from the perspective of ethical literary criticism,This paper is made up with three parts:The first part is an introduction, from multiple angles, which sorts the Wilde's works and the researches. Definition of some related concepts are be introduced. And this part also briefly discuss research methods and innovations.The second part is the body, consists of four chapters:four chapters in accordance with the idea of root-cause analysis of comedy conflict, conflict analysis of the background, analysis of setting the theater situation, reflection analysis of soul salvation, which gives the paper into a complete Structure. The first chapter:loyalty and belief is the key to marriage. This chapter focuses on analysis of the root causes of the conflicts in four comedy issues. Dividing the angle into three aspects of gender concept, the family concept, religious outlook, I describe the different roles of identity and a sense of social responsibility of the original sin to discuss the ethical relationship of marriage. Then open the thinking of contradiction between love and hate. The second chapter:the ethical conflicts happen in certain circumstances. This part enforces on the ethical conflicts. Society and families produce the different concepts of culture. And different culture attitudes lead to contradictions. So this part of the script focuses on the antithetical roles, which cause ethical conflicts. I was looking at the environment on the one hand, on the other hand focusing the hidden environment. The third chapter:dramatic circumstances are the basis of the performance of the conflicts. Flat phase of the drama refers to two mutually exclusive, opposite aspects. The surface phase refers to the opposite aspects come together through a certain transformation. The resulting flat phase of dramatic circumstances, that kind of mutual misunderstanding situational setting. Then change into the formation of a surface phase of dramatic circumstances, namely the family reunited situational setting. Chapter IV:go beyond after the choice. The key of this part is the discussion of the choice about the author himself. Salvation lies not only in self-salvation of the soul, but also in that of others' help and in the spiritual sublimation. People can find spiritual strength to survive from comedy, and ultimately to rebel and go beyond the social reality of during Victoria area.The third part is the conclusion, made up of two parts. The first part concludes the paper from the macro view. It analyzes drafting structure, the relationship between conflict of the soul and ethical conflicts, and the relationship between salvation of the soul and ethical choices. The second part focuses on the different points of Wilde's exploring ethical issues in different works. And why he choose this literary genre expressing ethical choice also the key issue. Absolutely, Wilde's comedy is the unity body of comedy and literary significance.
