摘要

摘要:在《失乐园》中，有两个独特的视觉矩阵奇怪地交织在一起:一个是戏剧世界(“世界作为舞台”)中无所不知的观众神，他的眼睛审视着所有的行为;另一个是天使的监视网络，与神的凝视相比，它是不可靠的，效率低下的。这种结合对诗中堕落的天使和人类有一种阴险的影响，他们悲剧性地调整自己的行为来适应(或欺骗)守卫和监视者，而不是他们的全能的上帝。结果是对偏执、口是心非以及天使监视和天堂见证的彻底失败的令人不安的审视。

Paradise Lost Under Heaven: Milton's Surveillance Society

Abstract:There is a curious imbrication of two distinctive ocular matrices in Paradise Lost: the omniscient spectator-deity of theatrum mundi ("world as stage") whose eye surveys all action, and a network of angelic surveillance that is fallible and inefficient when compared with the divine gaze. Such conjoining has an insidious effect on the fallen angels and the humans in the poem, who tragically tailor their actions to suit (or hoodwink) the guards and surveillants rather than their panoptic God. The result is a disquieting examination of paranoia, duplicity, and the radical failure of both angelic surveillance and heavenly witness.
