布莱克的孩子们——论威廉·布莱克诗歌中的儿童原型及形象

William Blake's “children”: on child archetype and characterization in his poetry

儿童是威廉·布莱克艺术创作中极为重要的一类形象,是"浪漫主义神话"中不可或缺的元素。借助荣格的儿童原型理论从显性和隐性两个层面对布莱克的儿童原型情结进行分析,可以发现,布莱克所塑造的儿童形象与人类集体无意识中孕育自人性至深的儿童原型息息相关,这种源于自然天性的解放和平衡的力量,在布莱克思想体系中起着不可替代的救赎作用,是其文艺作品的原始生命力。

Child,as an indispensible element of the'romantic myth',is one of the central sources of William Blake's artistic innovation.Based on Carl Jung's theory of child archetype,from explicit and implicit levels,this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of child characterization in Blake's poetry,so to lead to a corollary that the children created by Blake originate in the child archetype impregnated in the collective unconscious,whose intrinsic nature is the liberating and balancing power for universal salvation.And the child archetype is the flourishing vitality running through Blake's works.
