摘要
西方的文学传统中悲剧作品占主流地位，这源于《旧约》和古希腊的艺术传统。“厄普代克的悲剧”有双重意义：一是指厄普代克秉承了这一西方悲剧文学的创作传统而提高了他的文学地位，他在“兔子四部曲”中就表现了长达四十年的美国式的悲剧生活。二是指他存在有明显的不足之处，即他违背了部分传统而在作品中出现了太多的性描写。这样，他的文学地位就被降低了一些，从而成为他自己的悲剧。因为在西方的文学世界里，作家的地位高低主要是由其作品的悲剧性描写及其道德层次的高低而确定的。
Abstract
In the western literary tradition, the tragic literature has been the mainstream, which mainly originates from the artistic tradition in The Old Testament and ancient Greek stories. Here,“John Updike’s tragedy” has two meanings: firstly, Updike upheld this tradition of tragic literature and greatly enhanced his literary status. In his“Rabbit Quartet”, he successfully described Americans’ tragic life within forty years. Secondly, he had one obvious deficiency: he betrayed part of the classical tradition in writing too much sex and weakened his literary status, which forms his own tragedy. Therefore, in the western literary world, the writer’s status is mainly determined by his tragic description and his morality in his works.
