摘    要
 欧内斯特·海明威是现代文学巨匠。他把其自身独特的悲剧人生故事和富有传奇色彩的人生体验融入他的艺术创造中，创造出了海明威式的英雄，人们称之为“准则英雄”。基于“准则英雄”在海明威作品中的地位，以及悲剧意识在海明威作品中的体现，本论文以悲剧色彩为出发点，从人与自然的抗争、人与社会的较量、人与自我精神的对抗三个方面来对英雄形象的悲剧色彩进行研究。第一部分简要介绍了海明威其人其作，以及他的主要创造特色之一——“准则英雄”的塑造。第二部分介绍了悲剧色彩并分析了“准则英雄”的基本素质。同时，从海明威的生死观角度评述了“准则英雄”的基本内涵。第三部分分析了海明威三部小说中“准则英雄”的悲剧色彩。《老人与海》讲述了人与自然拼搏的悲剧；《永别了，武器》展示了人在巨大社会灾祸面前的悲惨处境和悲剧性的结局，确证了人在强大残酷的社会面前无望而苍凉；《乞力马扎罗的雪》是揭示人性脆弱的最好篇章，确证了人性的复杂多样。第四部分论述“准则英雄”形象对美国文学的影响和它的局限性。结语总结了海明威笔下的“准则英雄”都经历着痛苦并且以悲剧收场，但是英雄们在斗争中表现出来的精神品质，对现代人战胜生存困境依然有着重要的意义。
