从约翰·多恩的爱情诗主题剖析其矛盾的爱情观

An Analysis of John Donne's Contradictory Concept of Love from the View of His Love Poems

约翰·多恩是玄学派诗歌的创始人和主要代表人物,其诗歌主要包括爱情诗和宗教诗。最能体现其独特风格的是他的爱情诗。他的爱情诗主题大致分为两类:一类是肯定爱情的,抒写爱的忠诚;另一类是否定爱情的,嘲弄女性对爱情的不忠;同时还有奉劝情人放下贞操及时行乐的艳诗。诗人矛盾的爱情观与诗人从一个天主教徒转向一个国教徒,从一个浪荡公子转向一个颇有知名度的传教士的身份和他的坎坷人生经历无不有关。
