The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel of Oscar Wilde. In the book, Dorian Gray, Basil Hallward and Lord Henry all deserve wide analyses. It has also attracted a large number of readers because of its beautiful language, affluent images, dramatic plot and strong sense of aestheticism. However, besides from such perspective of art, comparatively, seldom are there analyses focusing on the hero’s mental process to reveal his corruption. In this paper, the author attempts to explain Dorian Gray’s gradual mental erosion through Freudian theory of Eros and study of death instinct. Besides his ideas of hedonism which originates from his Eros, the death of Basil Hallward further reveals his cruel psychology which is part of Eros. And his final tragedy reflects his death instinct. By specific exploration, it is discovered that Dorian’s ending is mainly caused by his Eros, which calls for his cruel mentality to commit crimes and later leads to his death instinct with development. 相似文献

The novel Sons and Lovers, which is Lawrence’s best acclaimed work, is of autobiographic air. It is called the best representation of Sigmund Freud’s "Oedipus Complex"theory by critics, though Lawrence denied having read Freud before writing the novel. However, it can shed new light on the novel when read in a different point of view. Paul’s road to become a real man can not be separated from his mother, Miriam and Clara, who is Paul’s first and second loves respectively. This article will analyze the novel in feminist perspective and concentrate on the three women’s sacrifice to Paul’s growth in a man-centered society, in hope of better understanding the intension of the novel. 相似文献

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty"-the famous line in English romantic poet John Keats’Ode on a Grecian Urn-has triggered wide discussion and numerous interpretations. From the point of"negative capability", a phrase first coined by Keats himself, this paper is attempting to display the consistency between that poetic line and the poet’s creation and life attitude on the whole. For this purpose, this paper will mainly introduce and interpret five of Keats’famous odes in the order of their display of his"rising acceptance of life": Ode to a Nightingale, Ode on a Grecian Urn, Ode to Autumn, Ode on Melancholy and Ode on Indolence. This paper would like to show in the first three Keats’s positive quest in different aspects and on certain levels, the fourth the underlying tone of life’s polyphonous song, and the final the"negative capability"that constitutes his healthy attitude toward creation and life. Finally, this paper hopes to demonstrate that it is such capability that enables the poet to growingly accept life, and it is also essential to him as a philosophical poet. 相似文献

This paper explores the relationship between the original and its translation by interpreting Benjamin’s three metaphors from his The Translator’s Task. The exploration starts with the metaphor of“the tangent of a circle”,where it is interpreted that although the translated version should be faithful to its original in terms of meaning,yet it is a deviation due to different internal and external factors. Then,in the metaphor of“afterlife”,the discussion demonstrates that the translated version proceeds from the original,but the original depends on it for its survival and afterlife in different eras. Later,based on the metaphor of“fragments of a vessel”,the author states that the original and its translation are equal and complementary,just like the fragments of a vessel,responsible for the development and renewal of each other through translation. Finally,it is concluded that a better understanding of their relationship can offer us a new perspective in translation studies and practice. 相似文献

Set in the years before and after the American Revolutionary War, Irving’s short story“Rip Van Winkle”is frequently read as a mythic escape from history; however, Irving’s vision of history is far more complicated than what it appears to be in the sense that Irving presents his ambivalent attitudes toward the new America the Revolution created by hiding his discourse of implicitly criticizing the American Revolution’s legacy under the cover of his explicit or public celebration of the Revolution. 相似文献

Despite the fact that the Maslow＇s hierarchy of basic needs has been vastly applied in literatures, a majority of resources has neglected to take the need to know and to understand into account. Moreover, there is a wide disagreement in the rest of resources in situation of that need. This article attempts to show that （1） Maslow has had faith in that need as a basic need; and （2） even though Maslow has not explicitly mentioned the situation of this need in his hierarchy, it is possible to find its situation through implications of Maslow＇s writing and other researchers＇ findings. 相似文献

Arthur Miller,who was one of the greatest American playwrights of the 20th century.In All My Sons,different sorts of denials lead to the family’s collapse and Keller’s death.Paradoxically,the very denial that is designed to protect him from prosecution and incarceration is followed by a chain of events that lead to Keller’s own self-imprisonment and self-imposed execution.Denial also exists in the history of some countries,such as Germany,Japan and America and so on.My paper aims to explore the paradox of denial both in our history and in literature works.My paper will demonstrate that denial has some negative effects both on the outer-world and the inner-world through thorough analysis on the characters in All My Sons. 相似文献

Hemingway’s works have sometimes been read as an essentially negative commentary on a modern world filled with sterility,failure and death.Yet such a nihilistic vision is repeatedly modified by Hemingway’s affirmative assertion of the possibility of living with style and courage.Nihility in Hemingway’s works is primarily expressed in three forms:a) consciousness of death;b) consciousness of pains;c) consciousness of fantasies.It firstly comes from his life experiences,and then it is closely connected with his living environment and ages.Nihility makes notable impact on his creation. 相似文献

As a carefully designed work, Flannert O’Connor’s short story“A Good Man is Hard to Find”is a brilliant example for skillfully using narrative techniques to convey her Catholic faith. Mieke Bal’s theories of time in narratology provide a fresh perspective to explores the characterizations in Flannert O’Connor’s“A Good Man is Hard to Find”. Time functions greatly to the characterizations of the characters through the narrative text in terms of the story and the fabula. It helps to present the characters’ personalities by playing with the sequential ordering, rhythm and frequency. By using these narrative techniques, grandmother’s selfishness, her moral inanition and her considerations that she is morally superior to others is fully expressed to the reader as well as Misfit’s struggling and renascence to his disbeliefs of God and so on. 相似文献

Gary Snyder is a famous American poet in the 1960s.His works often reflect Zen thought,which highly influenced the Beat Generation of that time,and even the whole western society.This article attempts to discuss some of the possible aspects in which Snyder’s Zen diverts from Chinese Zen thought.To find out the answer,four of Snyder’s poetry collections were mainly consulted,as well as information about the environment that he’d been living in.The discrepancy this article will show case is three-folded:first,what Snyder pursued might be"square Zen",which is different from Chinese Zen;second,his poems integrated some ideas from Indian folklores,thus contradicting that of Zen;third,giving consideration to his western background and specific historical environment,he might misinterpret Chinese Zen thought unconsciously or intentionally.This is an area which so far no current studies about Snyder have probed into,so the results are just tentative and exploratory. 相似文献
