论集体无意识和个人意识在《水晶棺》中的体现

集体无意识是一种代代相传的无数同类经验在某一种族全体成员心理上的沉淀物,在神话原型批评中意义重大。文章以英国当代著名女性作家拜厄特代表作《占有》中的一则童话《水晶棺》为例,以集体无意识为理论基础,通过与其他文本的对比以及对《水晶棺》新视角的探讨,分析集体无意识对作者创作的影响。可以看出,作家在作品中有意识地赋予作品新的时代内涵,一方面集体无意识使经典得以延续;另一方面,个人有意识又丰富了作品的内涵。

The Embodiment of Collective Unconscious and Personal Conscious in Glass Coffin

The collective unconscious could be seen as the set of inherited and typical modes of expression,feeling,thought,and memory that were seemingly innate to all human beings.This paper tries to make a study of Glass Coffin in A.S.Byatt’s novel Possession,with the comparison to other similar texts so as to reveal the uniqueness of Byatt’s new stance.Thus,the paper concludes that Collective Unconscious makes literary works classic,while personal conscious enriches the text with fresh elements which were indispensable in any real literary creation.
