明暗对峙的绝望抗争——论夏目漱石作品《梦十夜》之“第九夜”

Desperate Struggle in the Confrontation of Light and Darkness:On Natsume Souseki's The Ninth Night of Ten Nights of Dreams

夏目漱石的《梦十夜》以梦幻的形式揭示了潜在人类灵魂深处的"原罪"意识、对生的困惑与不安、以及在绝望中的抗争,其中"第九夜"特别凸显这一主题。以"第九夜"为中心,通过分析母子对话,揭示一个母亲的"心像世界"。在"第九夜"中,我们从一种看似"徒劳"的反抗中感悟到:现实虽然是一个非理性的、令人绝望的社会,但同时也是一个蕴含希望的混沌世界,如果能从"徒劳"行为中发现蕴含的人生意义,就能够使隐遁在黑暗中的希望之光发生戏剧化的逆转,显现出"徒劳"转为"幸福"的端倪。

In the form of dreams,Natsume Souseki’s Ten Nights of Dreams reveaLs the consciousness of the“originaL sin”deep down in human souLs and the confusion and insecurity of mankind about Life,of which“the ninth night”is the highLight of this theme. Focusing on“the ninth night”,and by anaLyzing the“image of the inner worLd”of the mother carrying her chiLd,this paper reveaLs the theme shared in Ten Nights of Dreams,which is“desperate struggLe”in the confrontation of Light and darkness. The anaLysis shows that through struggLes against fate that seem in vain,we reaLize the worLd is mixed with irrationaLity,despair,and at the same time,great hope. Or,if we can not find the meaning of Life hidden in the Sisyphean efforts de-scribed by ALbert Camus,there can never be a dramatic reversaL of the disappearing Light of hope,which marks the beginning of bLessedness out of Sisyphean efforts.
