从叶芝的象征主义手法解读其贵族之梦

Analysis of Yeats’ Noble Dream through His Symbolism

叶芝作为一代文学巨匠,在其诗中深刻而鲜明地贯穿和体现了他的贵族思想。为了进一步解读这一文学现象,通过分析叶芝的象征主义手法的三个发展阶段:哀伤悲婉的早期,坚实明朗的中期与晦涩难懂的晚期。一一解析了其在不同的人生阶段、不同社会环境下所折射出叶芝的贵族之梦的不同形态、梦幻朦胧形态,执着强烈形态与由物质追求升华至精神探索形态。通过文学文本的表面揭示出作品的内在形式与社会现实之间错综复杂的关系。

Yeats, the literary giant, fully presented his noble thoughts in his poem. In order to analyze such literary phenomena further, the author of this paper bases the analysis on the symbolism to reveal Yeats' noble dream. Yeats' symbolism can be divided into three stages, namely, the distressful early stage, the lucid and stable middle stage, and the obscure later stage. According to the different life phases and social environment, the three stages reflect three states of Yeats' noble dream correspondingly. They are the illusive state, the insistent state, and the state from material pursuit to spiritual exploration. In this way, this paper fulfill the main task of dialectical criticism of Marxism, that is, revealing the complicated relationship between the inner form of the work and the social reality through the literary surface of the literary text.
