人格结构理论视阈下《在切瑟尔海滩上》中爱德华的心理解读

Edward's Mentality in “On Chesil Beach”From the Perspective of Psychoanalysis

伊恩·麦克尤恩的《在切瑟尔海滩上》讲述的是一对新婚夫妇——弗洛伦斯与爱德华新婚之夜圆房失败而最终遗憾分手的爱情故事。文章试图从弗洛伊德人格结构理论解读作品中男主人公爱德华的"本我""自我"及"超我"之间的挣扎,发现爱德华的心理经历着三种变化:"自我"压抑"本我","本我"不顾"超我",以及"超我"战胜"自我",以此来分析两人新婚之夜不欢而散的主要原因。

Ian McEwan＇ s ＂On Chesil Beach＂ details a tragic love story about how the newlyweds, Florence and Edward, failed to have sex in their wedding night, thus leading to their breakup. The essay attempts to analyze the struggle between Id,Ego and Superego of Edward. From the perspective of Freudian theory of psychoanalysis,it is pointed out that Edward＇ s psychology experiences three changes including Ego＇ s suppression of Id, Id＇ s disregard of Superego, and Superego＇ s transcendence of Ego, based on which it aims to explore the causes of their breakup.
