'The Monk was so highly popular that it seemed to create an epoch in our literature', wrote Sir Walter Scott. Set in the sinister monastery of the Capuchins in Madrid, The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest. The great struggle between maintaining monastic vows and fulfilling personal ambitions leads its main character, the monk Ambrosio, to temptation and the breaking of his vows, then to sexual obsession and rape, and finally to murder in order to conceal his guilt. Inspired by German horror romanticism and the work of Ann Radcliffe, Lewis produced his masterpiece at the age of nineteen. It contains many typical Gothic elements - seduction in a monastery, lustful monks, evil Abbesses, bandits and beautiful heroines. But, as the Introduction to this new edition shows, Lewis also played with convention, ranging from gruesome realism to social comedy, and even parodied the genre in which he was writing.

讀後感
序言中译者认为作者对待安布罗西奥的纵欲和艾格尼丝的过错有失公平。但是我们应该看到的是艾格尼丝是因为爱情而一时犯错，成为修女本就违背她的意愿。而安布罗西奥则完全被欲望所驱使，她先是从玛蒂尔达得到欢愉，但是这却不是出自于爱情，因为他很快便厌恶了玛蒂尔达，而后对...
評分小说具有哥特小说的几大重要元素--幽闭的空间，被囚禁的女性，和哥特恶棍等，同时也影射了一些重要的问题，比如宗教和宗教人员的堕落，以及强制的禁欲主义所带来的恶果（这一点甚至让人想起奥古斯丁的《忏悔录》里的反面的例证似的回应）。但是小说的硬伤不少，第一在于叙事结...

評分道貌岸然的衣冠禽兽，这本书的亮点在于毫不掩饰男性的某些劣根性，在得到安东尼娅之前的向往，爱慕，不择手段，不惜遁入魔道，万劫不复，而这一切都在众人瞩目的道袍之下，耐人寻味。 本来是冲着哥特文学去看的，里面关于诅咒，鬼魂，女巫的元素还是不错，但是结尾特别仓促，人...
評分著名的哥特派小说，哥特式作品崇尚宗教，但反过来所谓魔鬼也是必定会出现的，这点与日本平安朝时代非常类似。而此书更是集大成，男女爱情、乱伦、私奔、密室、城堡、地狱、魔鬼、精灵、群众暴动、秘密监禁、死而复生等一应俱全，令人目不暇接。 那为什么此书会受到争议呢？原因...

現在看來這本起碼可讀性強多瞭，盡管書中情節如今都被用爛瞭，但在當時應該還好
评分Too much plots that I can’t even identify which is the main plot and which is subplot......innocent women are tortured cruelly while men have so many opportunities to get away with punishment.
评分兩條情節綫脫離稍嚴重，人物過多有點讓人混亂。不過語言流暢自然，一口氣讀下去不帶喘，還算過癮啦。
