摘要
該小說講述了主人公對長期壓抑的寫作生活感到倦怠之際萌發了出遊的慾望，在威尼斯與波蘭少年塔秋的邂逅，使他對生活的陶醉和對藝術的追求達到了忘我的境地，以至最終染疾而走向毀滅。威尼斯羅曼蒂克的外觀下，城市內卻瘟疫蔓延，映照出主人公充滿矛盾的人格特質。小說中曼表達了對尼采戴奧尼索斯精神的讚賞，並間接否定了叔本華壓抑生命意志的藝術哲學。然而，現實生活中的曼則是偏愛後者。如他所言，在生活中謳歌本能，不過是「一時的修正」。本論文就小說的寫作動機、敘事結構和人物塑造進行了分析與探討，以及對其所蘊涵的尼采和叔本華的美學思想進行了詮釋。

Abstract
The novella Death in Venice narrates the story of the writer von Aschenbach. He writes diligently for years without slackening his efforts. Just as his ascetic lifestyle is taking a toll on him, a chance encounter with a traveller suddenly inspires him anew. His encounter with a handsome young Pole, Tadzio, in Venice, brings his passion for life and his pursuit for perfect art to a condition of ecstasy. As a result, he totally ignores the prevalence of cholera, which consequently results in his illness and ruin. The vacancy of his emotional world coupled with his high position as an aristocrat forms an internal conflict within him that cannot be resolved. The description of Venice city life reflects his personality: despite the romantic scene in Venice, cholera is widespread in the streets. In Mann’s work, he expresses his appreciation of the spirit of Dionysus in The Birth of Tragedy, which was written by Friedrich Nietzsche. He also indirectly rejects Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy of arts that represses life will. However, Mann favors the latter in his life, saying that praise of drives in life should be merely considered a “temporary correction.” The research will analyse and probe into the motivation, narrative structure, and characterization of the writing. It will explain the internal conflict artists often experience, as well as the aesthetics of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer implied in the novel. It will also dig into possible relations between the author and the protagonist in terms of background and characteristics.
