文明忧患与个人幽暗意识——夏目漱石《梦十夜》新解

Consciousness of Civilized Development and Individual Gloominess——New Explication of Sōseki Natsume’s Ten Nights of Dream

《梦十夜》是夏目漱石在前期小说外向的文明批判之余,转向内心的一次心灵书写。对《梦十夜》的解读多有分歧,但首先可以确定的有两点:一,《梦十夜》中有很多故事涉及"等待"主题;二,《梦十夜》中渗透着浓烈的死亡意识,出现诸多死亡事件和死亡场景。这两个核心主题,是早期漱石带有公共性的文明忧患意识,与其个人内在的来自生的不安与死之梦魇的幽暗意识的混合表达,二者相互交融,构成夏目漱石文学独特的幽玄特征。

Ten Nights of Dream is a psychological work written by Ssseki Natsume, who turned his attention to introspection after the extroversive civilized criticism in the novels of his earlier period. Although many divergences of views on Ten Nights of Dream exist, there are two aspects that we could make sure. 1. There are many stories about ＂wait＂ in Ten Nights of Dream. 2. Ten Nights of Dream is permeated with consciousness of death by a quantity of the deaths and the death scenes. These two themes are the integration of the public consciousness of civilized development of his earlier period and the individ- ual gloominess that came from the worry of live and the nightmare of death. They＇ re blended together to make the unique charac- teristic of abstruseness in Sfiseki Natsume＇ s works.
