摘　　要：沃尔特·司各特作为具有深厚法律造诣的作家,在长篇小说《密得洛西恩监狱》中,凸现了深邃的法律伦理思想。这部作品中的法律伦理思想主要通过两条交叉的主线呈现的。一是通过“波蒂厄斯暴乱”事件体现基层民意与王权统治的冲突,对英格兰与苏格兰合并之后的法律不公进行深入的探索和深刻的反思。二是通过“艾菲冤狱”,强化在“情”与“法”的冲突中法律伦理的重要性,让主人公珍妮·迪恩斯这一理想楷模在骨肉亲情与司法正义这一剧烈的冲撞中作出自己艰难的伦理抉择。司各特正是在作品人物的多重矛盾冲突和伦理困境中凸现法律伦理思想,以及对法律正义的呼唤。Walter Scott, renowned for his profound legal expertise, intricately weaves deep ethical considerations into his novel The Heart of Midlothian. Legal ethics in this work manifests through two interwoven narratives. Firstly, the clash between grassroots public sentiment and royal authority is epitomized in the “Porteous Riots,” offering a profound examination of legal injustice following the union of England and Scotland. Secondly, the unfair conviction of Effie Deans underscores the ethical complexities inherent in the conflict between “love” and “law,” placing the protagonist, Jenny Deans, a paragon of idealism, at the heart of the struggle between familial loyalty and legal justice. Through the characters' ethical dilemmas in navigating the tensions between personal relationships and judicial fairness,Scott highlights the idea of legal ethics and the pursuit of justice in the face of moral and legal conflicts.
