摘要:Abstract: Coetzee’s novel, Disgrace, has aroused the extensive critical interest since its publication. With plain depiction of characters’ struggles, this novel puts Lurie’s disgrace against the background of the post-apartheid era of South Africa, composing a striking story of Lurie from disgrace to salvation. This paper proposes that there are four important motifs in the novel: sex, poetry, animal and opera. Among them, sex and poetry imply the transformation of the concept and ideology under the context of romanticism and post-colonialism which results in Lurie’s tragedy; whereas animal and opera can be interpreted as the supporters of Lurie’s self-redemption. For motifs of poetry and opera, Gérard Genette’s transtextual theory will be adopted to help illustrate the relations between different texts. Furthermore, based on the analysis of Lurie’s self-redemption after his former identity and belief are gradually undermined, this paper illustrates Coetzee’s deep contemplation and recognition of the universal significance of humanity and sublimity.
