Abstract:Reflection on Briony Tallis in Ian McEwan's Atonement can help us understand two key aspects of self-forgiveness. First, she illustrates an unorthodox conception of humility that aids the process of responsible self-forgiveness. Second, she fleshes out a self-forgiveness that includes continued self-reproach. While Briony illustrates elements of the self-absorption about which critics of continued self-reproach (such as Margaret Holmgren) are rightly concerned, she also shows a way of getting beyond this, such that the delicate balance between self-forgiveness and self-condemnation is upheld. Atonement also shows the significance for the task of self-forgiveness of a particular kind of narrative continuity.

自我宽恕和谦逊的道德视角：伊恩麦克尤恩的赎罪

摘要：对伊恩·麦克尤恩的《赎罪》中布里奥妮·塔利斯的反思可以帮助我们理解自我宽恕的两个关键方面。首先，她阐述了一种非正统的谦逊概念，它有助于负责任的自我宽恕的过程。其次，她充实了自我宽恕，包括持续的自责。虽然布里奥妮说明了自我陶醉的要素，批评者（如玛格丽特·霍姆格伦）理所当然地关注那些持续自责的人，但她也展示了一种超越这一点的方法，例如自我宽恕和自我谴责之间的微妙平衡被支持。赎罪也显示了一种特殊的叙事连续性对于自我宽恕任务的重要性。
