布鲁克战争颂歌《安全》和《士兵》背后的死本能

On the Death Instinct behind Brook's Battle Hymns The Safety and The Soldier

鲁波特·布鲁克被世人称为空想主义的爱国诗人,国外大多数论者认为其诗作是对于战争理想化及浪漫化的歌颂。然而,在其战争颂歌中,死亡却一直是他病态般痴迷的主题。从弗洛伊德的两种本能来看,布鲁克诗集《1914》中的《安全》和《士兵》以及诗人相关的历史传记背后所暗含的并非是爱国情怀,而是诗人本身的死亡本能。

Being regarded as an idealistic and patriotic poet, Rupert Brooke’s poems have been taken as the romanticized and beautified glorifiers of the war. In Brooke’s battle hymns, death remains the subject of his morbid obsession. From the perspective of Freud’s two instincts, it is not patriotism but the poet’s death instinct that is implied behind The Safety and The Soldier in Brooke’s poetry 1914 and the historical biography of the poet.
