| 内容記述 | Ian McEwan's Saturday (2005) describes the moral problems that confront us in the 21st century : namely, (1) the biological deterministic view of life, which deprives us of the belief in providence and social justice, (2) the overabundance of information, which engenders in us the feeling of helplessness and guilt over the political, economic and physical hardships of the world. These problems make it difficult for us to make moral choices, particularly with regard to social problems. One such case is whether the UK should have cooperated with the US in their attempt to overthrow the Hussein government. In view of these situations, McEwan explores the moral values we should embrace in today's world, by describing the protagonist Henry Perowne's misuse of power as a brain surgeon and its totally unexpected and disastrous outcome. Here, Henry's predicament should be seen a metaphor of that of the nation. There is an epiphanic moment at the end of the novel, when Henry, looking down at the Fitzroy Square, decides to act on fellow-feeling and to forgive his tormenter Baxter, patient of Huntington's disease, for the bodily and mental harm he had inflicted on him. Now he empirically knows that he is not an innocent bystander but an insider, whose actions are bound to have repercussions, however slight they may be, on the whole world. This scene reminds us of the climactic scene of George Eliot's Middlemarch, where the heroine Dorothea likewise looks out at the labourers working in the field and realizes that she is part of the broad world, thus awakening to the religion of love for fellow human beings. Indeed, Saturday has a lot in common with Eliot's novels in their moralistic concerns. Like Eliot, McEwan tries to make us see that, no matter how complicated and pessimistic the world situation has become, we all human beings are connected somehow, and should not assume ourselves as mere spectators of others' suffering. |
