王尔德笔下的道连.格雷同他人的关系乃至同本人的关系都是通过物品才得以实现的,他以毕生的经历努力保持其物品的麻木性。只有当他抓起刀子向画像猛戳的那一瞬间,他才意识到作为人的存在,因为毁灭画像也就是力图毁灭自己的物性,并找回他原来曾经有过的人性。 Oscar Wilde’s account of Dorian Gray’s relationship with others and even his relationship with himself was achieved through objects, and he worked hard to maintain the numbness of his objects with his life-long experience. Only when he grabbed the knife and pounded it at the portraits, he realized the existence as a human being, destroys the portraits in an attempt to destroy his own physical properties and retrieve the humanity he originally had.
