摘要: 美国当代名剧《怀疑》有一个典型的悬疑剧躯壳:女主角因怀疑男主角神父弗林对黑人少年唐纳德实施了性侵犯而展开了多方面调查,带领我们不断地逼近真相。但它有一个非典型结局:剧本中的中心悬疑始终没有明确的答案。这样的结构以及故事本身的暧昧,引导我们将它作为一个哲理剧来解读,诱使我们得出这样的认识:“沉重的肉身”未必沉重,它能给认知及心灵带来高翔的翅膀;如果“有罪”的肉身带来“高尚”的善行,那么我们有理由怀疑对“罪恶”的传统定义,无论这个定义来自宗教还是法律;反过来,既然“高尚”的善行可能源于身体的“罪孽”,我们也有理由怀疑“善行”的圣洁。

Abstract: Prize-winning American drama Doubt: A Parable begins like a detective story. The heroine Aloysius suspects that Father Flynn of her church school is molesting underage black student Donald and conscientiously conducts an investigation. However, the mystery ends nowhere near a detective story. Such an unprecedented exploration of a sinning body urges the viewer to observe it in a different light and suggests that the burdensome body may be more enlightening than blindfolding, that sinning body seems to be able to cause noble charity, hence doubts about established definitions of “sin” and crime, and that since some “noble” charitable activities might originate in the sinfulness of the flesh, we might as well doubt the nobility of charity.
