On Evil Characters of Shakespeare's Dramas [莎士比亚戏剧恶魔人物论], Master thesis, Comparative Literature and World Literature, Henan University, Kaifeng, China 2006 [Application of Fromm's theories to art].

  • >恶<是生活中常见的一种社会现象,也是人性中与善相对立的因素。作为观照生活、反映人性的重要精神活动,文学对恶的描述可谓多彩多姿。莎士比亚戏剧作为西方文学史上的一座高峰,对人性恶的揭露更是入木三分。莎士比亚立足现实生活,对社会中的>恶人<加以提炼,塑造了一系列栩栩如生的>恶魔式<人物形象,深刻地揭露了人性之恶。本文拟通过对莎剧中恶魔人物心理的分析,梳理出恶魔形象发展的线索,进而探讨恶魔吸引人的缘由。本文有以下几个部分构成:引言主要理清本课题的国内外研究现状,确定本文研究方法及拟解决的问题。第一章是恶魔探源。简单梳理和总结恶及恶魔形象,从恶的概念入手来阐发恶魔的内涵,并对文学中的恶魔形象进行分类概括。第二章主要用精神分析学派学者弗洛姆>恶的本性<的理论,深入分析莎剧中的恶魔人物的心理。本文将恶魔心理分为:>爱死<,恶性自恋,弑父情结。莎剧中的恶人的心理分属不同的类型:理查三世和麦克白是具有>爱死<心理的恶魔,其心理有悖于正常人,他们有强烈的破坏欲和权力欲,往往把暴力和残杀当作人生的乐趣,爱死心理是危害最大的一种恶劣心理。伊阿古、理查三世具有恶性自恋者心理的恶魔,他们把自我同社会隔绝,紧紧拥抱权力来抵御孤独和恐惧,并以自我为中心来判断事情,不断地为私利作恶,而不惜残害人的生命。理查三世和麦克白是具有弑父情结的恶魔。文中把对父亲,以及对类似于父亲的权威力量的颠覆和反叛,当作弑父情结的表现。第三章是从文学史的角度来分析莎剧恶魔形象的重要性。恶魔形象是西方文学作品中经常出现的一种文学类型,从中世纪的奇迹剧、道德剧开始,人们对它的认识,从抽象的神学观念上的魔鬼逐渐演变成感性的人的形象。文学作品中出现了许多恶魔形象,并积累了一系列塑造恶魔的手法。莎士比亚既继承了传统戏剧塑造恶人的有益成果,如对中世纪>孽障<、>罪恶<等作恶角色的借鉴,同时又
  • Evil is a common social phenomenon, the which is also an inner factor of humanity as opposed to benevolence As an important mental the activity reflecting reality and humanity, literature depicts multifarious evils Forming to a literary peak during the Renaissance Shakespeare's drama penetrates humanity and reveals the wickedness in it by the characterization of demons of various types. Firmly grounded in reality, Shakespeare reforms and refines those evil creatures and models a series of realistic demonic figures. This thesis intends to outline the development of the Shakespearean demonic character, and eventually pins down the reasons and causes for their artistic charms.– The first chapter explores the source of demons, briefly summarizes evil and demonic figures, elucidates the connotation of demon as a special concept, and classifies and generalizes demonic images in literature throughout the ages.– The second chapter specifically analyzes the demonic behaviors and the related psychology in Shakespeare's dramas, largely depending on Erich Fromm's theory on the nature of evil. This is generalized as being of three types: death desire, vicious narcissism, and the Oedipus complex. There is a range of demonic figures corresponding to each type: Richard III and Macbeth belong to the first, whose mentalities run counter to normality, and they both have a violent destructive impulse and a strong desire for power. They are keen on violence and killing. Lago and Richard III belong to the type of vicious narcissism: they isolate themselves from society, grab power as a counter-balance to their solitary plight, make judgment with egoistic attitude, and keep doing villainy in their own interests at the price of innocent lives. Richard III and Macbeth are also demons: they have the complex of patricide. Freud considers human nature to be evil and maintains that a man has a latent Oedipus complex, but this thesis puts this Complex into broad senses.– The third chapter analyzes the importance of demonic figures from a historical angle. Demonic figures are common in the Western literature. Originally it is a theological concept in ...
