《大海啊,大海》之深层意义解读

An Approach to the Deep Meaning of Iris Murdoch’s The Sea, the Sea

以弗洛伊德的精神分析理论及弗莱和荣格的原型批判为支点,对《大海啊,大海》的深层意义作一重新解读,指出“查尔斯与哈特莉的爱情故事”并不是小说的主线,它不过是查尔斯与堂弟詹姆斯之间虚幻之争的一个附属产物。论文分析了导致查尔斯虚幻之争的深层缘由,揭示了查尔斯完成自身的精神成长、获得“顿悟”（epiphany）的历程。

Supported by Freud＇s psychological, analyses and archetypal criticism of Frye and C. C. Jung, this paper makes a critical analysis of the deep meaning of the novel-＂The sea, the sea＂ from a different viewpoint through close reading, and argues that the clue of the novel is not ＂the love story between Charles and I-Iartley＂ which is accepted by most of the critics. It is just one by-product of the phantom battle Charles launches out towards James, his cousin. The paper tries to analyze the deep reason for the phantom battle, and finally reveals how Charles fulfills his spiritual maturity, that is, the ＂epiphany＂ achieved by some characters created by James Joyce. It is a kind of religious reflection on goodness.
